30Two days later. A high mountain peak protruded Fang Yuan's vision.
31
32The deep blue mountain was like a lone vulture with a bizarre shape.
33
34Fang Yuan was somewhat startled as his gaze became suffused with joy: "This should be Xing Jiu peak. It seems my direction is correct, according to Gu Immortal Lord Tian Ku's description in the past life, the place where the vulture's gaze falls in is the sacred palace!"
35
36Immortal Court blessed land had a lofty and holy position in the hearts of northern plains' people, and was a spiritual symbol. It was also a cradle which had nurtured many northern plains' Gu Immortals in the Imperial Court contests before.
37
38When central continent invaded northern plains, they had first attacked this significant strategic location.
39
40Due to the lack of preparations, Immortal Court blessed land was breached by the alliance of central continent's Gu Immortals and the sacred palace was ruthlessly destroyed, turning into a ruin. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was also destroyed, vanishing in the surging river of history, and causing people to sigh while wringing their wrist.
41
42Lord Tian Ku was one of the Gu Immortals who participated in the surprise attack against Immortal Court blessed land. Fang Yuan made his plan by referencing the surprise attack methods of the central continent's Gu Immortals.
43
44"Hmm? There are people on Xing Jiu peak." When Fang Yuan was about to cross the Xing Jiu peak with his wolf group, he suddenly paused as he saw many Gu Masters at the summit of the peak, among were familiar people as well.
45
46His thoughts moved and decided to not hurry on his way, but instead descended to the Xing Jiu peak with his wolf group.
47
48"Pan Ping greets Lord Wolf King."
49
50"Brother Shan Yin, we meet again."
51
52Looking at the Wolf King descending, the Gu Masters all felt their hearts shiver. From among them, two Gu Masters walked out; one was Pan Ping who had become rich and famous with this time's Imperial Court content, while the other was one of the twin demons Tai Bai Yun Sheng invited, Zhu Zai.
53
54Pan Ping was now already at rank four peak stage, and with sole blade Gu, his battle strength could match against some rank five Gu Masters.
55
56Zhu Zai was a strength path rank five Gu Master and was an expert in close combat, thus he was much more fearful of sole blade Gu than other people. He had been separated from Gao Yang when he entered Imperial Court, and on the way to the sacred palace, he got into an argument with Pan Ping.
57
58"We greet Wolf King!" After Pan Ping and Zhu Zai, the rest of the Gu Masters greeted one after another while kneeling on the ground.
59
60In Ma tribe army, Fang Yuan's prestige was raised to the highest status, and was recognized as the number one person of this generation. His prestige suppressing Hei Lou Lan and even Ye Lui Sang who had a fire path Immortal Gu.
61
62If not for Chang Shan Yin not being of Huang Jin bloodline and Hei Lou Lan being the alliance leader, there might have been people who would have shouted to change the alliance leader.
63
64"Stand up, there is no need to be so restrained." Fang Yuan was sitting on an azure myriad wolf king as he lightly nodded and then directly asked, "For you guys to gather here, what inheritance did you discover?"
65
66Everyone inwardly grumbled.
67
68The truth was indeed so. At first, someone had discovered an inheritance in Xing Jiu peak, but did not have enough strength to get it. Helplessly, the Gu Master called for other Gu Masters to explore together. But the result was, they lost several people instead.
69
70The Gu Masters were no resigned to failure and searched all around for help, inviting Pan Ping and Zhu Zai one after another.
71
72The two, for their respective benefits, competed with each other, creating the situation to turn into a stalemate before finally Fang Yuan crashed in.
73
74Now, since Fang Yuan directly asked it, Pan Ping and Zhu Zai did not dare to hide it and could only explain this matter.
75
76"Lord Wolf King, it is fortunate you are here. This inheritance opens every seven days, and during the opening, it lets out a soaring high starlight and reveals a starlight door. This duration is not only extremely short, there are also insect groups that rush out of the starlight door, preventing us from entering." Pan Ping introduced with a slight smile.
77
78"There is only a short time before the inheritance opens now. Lord Chang Shan Yin, since you graced us with your presence, I represent all the Gu Masters here to request you to uphold justice." Zhu Zai said with sincerity on his face.
79
80The corners of Pan Ping's lips twitched as he glanced at Zhu Zai with extreme disdain.
81
82'Zhu Zai's reputation of being a famous expert in the demonic path is laughable, he actually is going so far in his flattery!' Pan Ping was filled with disdain towards Zhu Zai.
83
84'Wolf King might be strong, but I, Pan Ping, will have a day when I can reach his level!' Pan Ping was young, his heart still had arrogance, but he did not show it, instead lowering his head to show his respect towards Wolf King.
85
86He was a demonic path Gu Master and naturally was extremely clear of his current situation and understood the logic of being able to bow and submit.
87
88Fang Yuan straightforwardly agreed, immediately becoming the main person in charge here.
89
90As time gradually passed, everyone was indeed able to see starlight gradually filling the summit.
91
92When the time arrived, the starlight majestically soared up, piercing through the sky. A small door then slowly opened in the dazzling starlight.
93
94Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz….
95
96Large numbers of insect groups rushed out like a tide.
97
98These insect groups were of all kinds of colors with many wild Gu mixed among them; their stance was fierce but they only hovered near the starlight door and did not pounce upon the people.
99
100Clearly, this was a test.
101
102Fang Yuan carefully observed before snickering - this insect group test was not difficult. Even without him, with the combined strength of the rest of the Gu Masters, they would be able to overcome this.
103
104However, Pan Ping and Zhu Zai's internal dispute caused the overall strength to be divided with other Gu Masters supporting different sides; no one conceded which allowed Fang Yuan to take this opportunity.
105
106Fang Yuan glanced at Pan Ping and Zhu Zai; these two both had somewhat unsightly expressions right now.
107
108Fang Yuan did not care, instead he sent an order: "These insect groups are often more difficult to deal with than beast groups. All of you, listen to my arrangement, and we will be able to reduce the losses and deal with this easily."
109
110Everyone promptly agreed. Under Fang Yuan's command, they attacked in segments, drawing away the insect group and exterminating them.
111
112After a dozen or so breaths of time, most of the insect groups had been drawn away and the originally tight defense line now had a huge gap.
113
114Pan Ping said in joy: "Lord Wolf King is truly amazing! All of our eyes were obscured, exterminating the insect groups is not important, the main thing was to open a passageway. With this, we will have plenty of time."
115
116Zhu Zai also sighed: "Having Lord Wolf King to lead us is our fortune."
117
118But Fang Yuan's next words shocked them: "You guys stay here to hold back the insect groups, don't make a mistake. I will make a trip inside."
119
120With that, he suddenly rushed to the starlight door with the wolf group.
121
122"Thi… This… Lord Wolf King…" Zhu Zai's expression paled, he had not expected Fang Yuan to act so selfishly in the open.
123
124Pan Ping's eyes also opened wide as his heart filled with anger at the injustice.
125
126Under everyone's gazes, Fang Yuan first sent an azure wolf to investigate the inside and seeing there were no dangers, he rode an azure wolf king and entered the door.
127
128Of course, he left behind a large number of azure wolves to form a defensive line around the entrance to protect his escape route.
129
130"Didn't they say Wolf King was proud and aloof, how could he be so shameless?"
131
132"He is truly too overbearing, this inheritance was clearly discovered by us first, but now it was snatched by Chang Shan Yin!"
133
134"Chang Shan Yin has let down the name of the grand Wolf King, he actually left us out here…"
135
136The people present were all furious but they did not dare to express their anger.
137
138"Lord Pan Ping, should we also charge in?" A rank three Gu Master rolled his eyes, then turned towards Pan Ping and urged him.
139
140Pan Ping snorted and sent this Gu Master flying with a kick, shouting fiercely: "If you want to go in, feel free. What, you want me to test the water?"
141
142"Lord, you misunderstood, how could I dare!" The rank three Gu Master immediately retorted.
143
144"Get lost!"
145
146Pan Ping angrily rebuked while clenching his fists tightly.
147
148He rigidly looked at the starlight door with sharp light flashing past his eyes.
149
150The gap that had been cleared was now jammed with azure wolves. There were two myriad wolf kings, dozens of thousand wolf kings, over 300 hundred wolf kings, and even over two hundred guarding the air.
151
152Pan Ping could not charge through this scale of wolves.
153
154His thoughts turned around and he then looked at Zhu Zai, speaking in a faint ridiculing tone: "This is the result of you wanting Wolf King to uphold justice?"
155
156Zhu Zai coldly glanced at Pan Ping, immediately seeing through Pan Ping's thoughts.
157
158He snorted inwardly with disdain: 'This Pan Ping is still young and has been infected by hastiness gained from the recent fame. He actually wants to entice me to ally with him to break the wolf group's defense line, too naive! Is Wolf King so easy to deal with? Even if Wolf King only left behind one ordinary night wolf, I would not dare to make a move. This brat simply overestimates his own abilities!'
159
160Pan Ping furiously snorted as he saw Zhu Zai not answering him, and could only swallow the words that he had been about to speak.
161
162----------
163
164Fang Yuan arrived before a courtyard after entering the starlight door.
165
166The style of the courtyard was peculiar, it was completely constructed out of blue metal and its shape was strange and abstract, not belonging to any style of the five regions.
167
168Fang Yuan pushed upon the gate and entered. The courtyard was covered in a layer of thin light cotton, and appeared mysterious, quiet and magnificent.
169
170At first, Fang Yuan moved cautiously, but after searching around once, he did not find any mechanisms for tests or traps.
171
172The courtyard had six rooms, and Fang Yuan explored all of them.
173
174"So over a hundred years ago, this was the residence of northern plains' great poet Du Min Jun." Fang Yuan received the entire inheritance left behind by the courtyard master and learned this person's identity.
175
176Du Min Jun was a rank five Gu Master, he travelled alone and had never married in his whole life. He was called Vagrant Lone Star by people. He was the famous Poet Immortal in northern plains and his verses mostly portrayed the starry sky, his longing towards his hometown and his powerless struggle against fate.
177
178He was proud and noble, and separated himself from mortal affairs. He had been pursued by many northern plains' women throughout his life and there were even men who pursued him, but they were all heartlessly rejected by him.
179
180Future generations evaluated and praised him: He was immersed in his own world, although he was in northern plains, his mind was in the starry sky. He was not a northern plains' man, he was a poet, he was a Poet Immortal who was denounced to the mortal world from the starry sky!
181
182"So Du Min Jun eventually chose to suicide at this place." Fang Yuan sighed.
183
184Du Min Jun was not able to endure the melancholy in his heart in the end; he built his final residence in Xing Jiu peak and ended his life of his own accord. What he had left behind were countless poems to be read and admired by the later generations.
185
186Du Min Jun had outstanding talents and his inheritance was also extremely valuable.
187
188First of all was a emotion poetry Gu. Emotion poetry Gu was especially used to store emotions and along with painting idea Gu, was a wisdom path Gu. It was extremely rare and very expensive.
189
190Then, there were large numbers of star path Gu worms of all types. It basically had all the star path Gu of northern plains.
191
192Fang Yuan was amazed at this.
193
194"It seems Du Min Jun had a fortuitous encounter, otherwise how could he have so many and such complete star path Gu worms? Hmm? He actually innovated an entire set of star Gu recipes?"
195
196Fang Yuan flipped through the recipes and realized how shockingly talented Du Min Jun was.
197
198He founded a set of new Gu, from rank one 'a bit of star Gu' to rank two 'brilliance of two stars Gu', rank three 'three stars in the sky Gu', rank four 'four stars cube Gu' to rank five 'five stars aligned Gu'.
199
200This set of Gu worms was especially targeted star path Gu and could raise star path Gu's effects by a huge degree; it was equivalent to a non-mainstream amplify effect Gu. But this set of Gu worms had much higher success rate than amplify effect Gu, moreover their refinement materials were extremely common. This meant, if this set of Gu recipes was spread, it would definitely lead to a huge rise in popularity of star path Gu and would have some amount of influence towards all Gu Master paths!

210
211
212
213
214"Although I am not a star path Gu Master, if I refine this set of star Gu, it would be a huge help in opening the stargate and linking to Hu Immortal blessed land."
215
216Fang Yuan could not help but feel a bit of joy in his heart.
217
218He had invested heavily earlier to nurture a batch of starlight firefly Gu in his Hu Immortal blessed land. He also got many air bubble fish to increase the starlight firefly Gu's growth.
219
220But even so, the starlight firefly Gu's expenditure was greater than its production.
221
222Every time the stargate was opened, large numbers of starlight firefly Gu would be used. But to nurture starlight firefly Gu, a lot of time was needed.
223
224It was easier for Fang Yuan back in northern plains, when he could use the starlight in the sky for one of the two sides of the gate. But in Imperial Court blessed land, there was no starlight in the sky. Thus, to open the stargate, he would needed to expend even more starlight firefly Gu.
225
226But if he could refine this set of Gu that could amplify the power of star path, one starlight firefly would be able to achieve the effects of a few, that way, he would have several times less expenditure than currently.
227
228"Furthermore, this Gu recipe is interesting, the thought process and viewpoint is different from the norm, it is like a deduction done using Earth's science and math. To think that Poet Immortal was so knowledgeable, having such incredible ideas."
229
230Fang Yuan could see a portion of Poet Immortal's wisdom from this Gu recipe.
231
232Taking all that was valuable in these few rooms, Fang Yuan returned back to where he came from.
233
234Du Min Jun was a righteous path Gu Master, his inheritance was naturally a righteous path inheritance, there was only one trial and was not difficult.
235
236When Fang Yuan returned to the mountain peak, the worm group that was troubling everyone had dispersed.
237
238"Lord Chang Shan Yin, you are finally back! I wonder what gains lord had made inside?" Pan Ping's expression was ominous as he walked up to Fang Yuan. His intention was obvious: You Wolf King took the meat, you have to at least leave us the soup right!
239
240"Hahaha, congrats Lord Wolf King, with this inheritance, you are like a tiger who gained wings." Zhu Zai cupped his fists and spoke, not mentioning anything related to splitting the gains.
241
242Fang Yuan nodded lightly: "This inheritance was set by Poet Immortal Du Min Jun, there are still a lot of beautiful treasures left inside. You can go take it."
243
244Saying so, he sat on the azure myriad wolf king and flew into the sky.
245
246Pan Ping saw him leaving and immediately shouted: Sir Chang Shan Yin! We restrained the worm group for you painstakingly, yet you took all the best things inside the inheritance, according to the rules, you have to give us some compensation."
247
248"Compensation?" Fang Yuan stopped his wolf, floating in the air as he looked at this Sole Blade General with a half-smiling expression.
249
250"What compensation do you want?" Fang Yuan asked.
251
252Pan Ping expressionlessly requested: "We can't determine what compensation to get yet. Why don't lord show us the inheritance you obtained, so that we can evaluate it?"
253
254"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed, looking at Pan Ping amicably: "Look at this compensation, are you happy with it?"
255
256Saying so, he willed and the azure wolf group surrounded Pan Ping from the ground and the sky tightly.
257
258Pan Ping's expression changed, he held onto his scimitar as he shouted: "Lord Wolf King, what are you doing?"
259
260Fang Yuan sat on the wolf back, looking down at Sole Blade General, snickering.
261
262Howl!
263
264The azure wolf group moved and charged at Pan Ping.
265
266Pan Ping's expression turned into shock as he blocked left and right, unleashing all his moves.
267
268He was a rank four peak stage cultivation, after getting much gains in the battles, he had high quality Gu worms that were a complete set, his battle strength far surpassed his previous state.
269
270But the azure wolves were not ordinary wolves. Each one was at least a hundred beast king, this meant that they each had large numbers of wild Gu in them.
271
272After Pan Ping killed several azure wolves, he could not hold on anymore, bleeding profusely as he got into a desperate situation.
273
274"Lord Wolf King, you are too overbearing. We are of the same army, are you trying to kill me?!" He shouted loudly, trying to suppress Fang Yuan using righteousness.
275
276The other Gu Masters had no idea what to do.
277
278Fang Yuan's overbearing attitude made them uncomfortable. But because of his strength, they did not dare to say anything.
279
280"Lord Wolf King, please calm down. Pan Ping did not know what was good for him, he verbally insulted lord, but lord is such a grand hero, why is there a need to put yourself at his level?" Zhu Zai urged quickly.
281
282Pan Ping was Hei Lou Lan's beloved general, it is said that he was already part of Hei tribe. If he died here, when Hei Lou Lan pursues the matter, he might not do anything to Chang Shan Yin, but he Zhu Zai would be doomed.
283
284Since Zhu Zai joined Hei tribe alliance army, he naturally wanted to join Hei tribe!
285
286"Zhu Zai, you're overthinking this, I am not angry." Fang Yuan smiled at Zhu Zai lightly, but the azure wolves were attacking even more fiercely under his manipulation.
287
288Zhu Zai's heart was anxious, but he was secretly shocked by Fang Yuan's ruthlessness.
289
290Over there, Pan Ping was in a critical state, he activated sole blade Gu but could only defend himself, he could not break out of the wolves' encirclement.
291
292"Lord Wolf King, please have mercy. Pan Ping is going to die!" Zhu Zai showed an expression of fear as he urged once again.
293
294Fang Yuan finally stopped his attack, sighing at Zhu Zai: "Sigh, I am not violent, but this junior does not know how to respect his seniors. If I do not teach him a lesson today, is he going to dance on my head in the future?"
295
296"Yes, yes, yes, lord is absolutely right!" Zhu Zai quickly answered.
297
298Fang Yuan waved his hand and the azure wolves stopped attacking, they moved back but the encirclement was still present.
299
300Without the pressure of the wolves, Pan Ping collapsed on the ground.
301
302He was bathed in blood and covered in injuries, he breathed roughly as he stared at Fang Yuan with eyes filled with hatred.
303
304Fang Yuan saw his expression and laughed: "It seems you have not had enough? Maybe my lesson wasn't severe enough, Zhu Zai, what do you think?"
305
306Zhu Zai shuddered, he could see the overwhelming killing intent hidden in Fang Yuan's calm gaze. He quickly waved his hand: "Enough, it is enough. Pan Ping had received a sufficient lesson. Pan Ping! Quickly apologise to Lord Wolf King!"
307
308Pan Ping clenched his fist, he gritted his teeth as he took a few deep breaths, closing his eyes and saying with much pain: "Lord Wolf King, I… I am sorry!"
309
310He howled in his heart however: ' Today's humiliation, I will return it to you a hundred fold! Wolf King, remember this! I am not someone you can humiliate as you please!'
311
312Pan Ping was a vigilant and low-profile person, but after the Imperial Court contest, the pride in the deep parts of his heart burst out. Especially in the battle against Liu tribe, he was first killed by three heads six arms, but was revived by Tai Bai Yun Sheng later using man as before Gu.
313
314Such a revival process made his nature change slightly, making him feel like he was a 'person blessed by the heavens'.
315
316'According to the rules, I should be allowed to check the gains from the inheritance. Wolf King, you are too overbearing, you will definitely regret all that you did today! Although you are strong now, it is only because you started cultivating several earlier than me. One day, I will catch up to you, surpass you, and return all this humiliation right back at you!' Pan Ping screamed internally.
317
318Fang Yuan naturally had no idea what he was thinking, but he was not interested either.
319
320"If I kill him here, Hei Lou Lan would not pursue the matter with me. But this is a demonic act, it clashes with my identity. Furthermore, it does not benefit my future plans at all. I might as well leave this Pan Ping for the future…"
321
322Pan Ping only had one sole blade Gu which Fang Yuan had some interest in.
323
324If he was killed now, Fang Yuan would probably not receive the Gu.
325
326Thus, Fang Yuan said: "Since you admitted your mistake, that is very good, it means you have noticed my hard work. A junior should behave like a junior, do you understand now?"
327
328"Un… understood…" Pan Ping shut his eyes, he was furious but he squeezed out the words.
329
330Fang Yuan snickered, he understood his feelings but he did not expose him, only continuing to say: "Very good. Since that is the case, compensate me. In order to educate you, I made quite a loss, look at my wolves, fifteen corpses are lying here."
331
332"What?!" Pan Ping opened his eyes out of pure rage.
333
334"What, are you unwilling?" Fang Yuan smiled lightly, looking at Pan Ping with an obvious expression of mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse.
335
336"I, I am willing to!" Pan Ping breathed in deeply, nodding his head as he accepted his fate.
337
338"Mm, this is the attitude of a junior indeed." Fang Yuan chuckled, smiling gently and kindly. But in everyone's view, he looked extremely scary.
339
340"It was all thanks to lord." Zhu Zai was smiling at the side.
341
342"Mm, of course." Fang Yuan nodded in agreement, smiling as he accepted this hypocritical flattery. He then looked around: "What about you guys? Do you need some lessons too?"
343
344Everyone quickly rejected him with pale expression, they were shuddering, obviously scared out of their wits.
345
346Fang Yuan laughed loudly, extorting all of Pan Ping's Gu recipes and several of his Gu worms.
347
348Pan Ping was extremely furious, the few Gu that Fang Yuan chose were critical to his Gu set, without them, his strength would fall by at least two levels.
349
350After toying around with Pan Ping, Fang Yuan felt the fun turning into boredom as he patted the wolf head, rising into the sky: "That will be all, there are still rather good things inside, they are unique. Go ahead and take them."
351
352Everyone heard this and were revitalized. Many people thought: Lord Wolf King is truly righteous, it was natural for him to take the bulk of the meat, Lord Pan Ping was simply too small-hearted.
353
354Only until Fang Yuan and the azure wolf group vanished into the sky did everyone start moving towards the starlight door.
355
356According to seniority, Zhu Zai and Pan Ping were the first two to charge in.
357
358The two first entered a small courtyard, but only found Du Min Jun's original poems. As for Gu worms, Gu recipes, they were all swept away by Fang Yuan, not a trace of them were left.
359
360"Lord Wolf King was right, these are really unique treasures." Zhu Zai held the poems in his hand as he laughed bitterly.
361
362Pan Ping who was hopeful and wanted to get some benefits to recoup his losses had a dark expression.
363
364Puu!
365
366Suddenly, he threw up a mouthful of blood as he fainted from anger.
367
368Several days later.
369
370"With my current speed, the sacred palace should be closeby." Fang Yuan rode on the azure myriad wolf king's back, pondering to himself.
371
372Soon after, his gaze became fixed at an area on the ground below him.
373
374"Eh? This terrain is so familiar, don't tell me…"
375
376ChibiGeneral ChibiGeneral
377
378He saw a cliff.

382
383
384
385
386Fang Yuan looked at the ground.
387
388He saw that there was a mound protruding high up above the ground.
389
390There were no forceful contours on the mound, there was an opening on it that showed a huge hole, like a tunnel underground.
391
392As for the surroundings of this mound, it was a huge swampy area.
393
394There were sparse trees in the swamp.
395
396On the southwest side, there was a river. The river water was not clear, but it was a very long river, both the start and end of the river were beyond Fang Yuan's field of vision.
397
398"Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow." Looking at this scene, Fang Yuan could not help but think of this phrase in his mind.
399
400"Is this Di Qiu inheritance ground?" Fang Yuan had a flash of inspiration as he felt dazed.
401
402Back then, he had obtained information about Di Qiu inheritance from a fake grey-white stone slab. The painting idea Gu on the grey-white stone slab etched this map into his brain.
403
404Thus, Fang Yuan had a clear memory of it, he could not forget it even if he tried.
405
406He flapped his wings and flew around it in the sky, confirming that this terrain was exactly as he remembered.
407
408"So this is it. I was wondering before, an inheritance using terrain as a clue was not reliable. If this was outside in northern plains, the terrain could be easily changed or destroyed. But in Imperial Court blessed land, that would be a different case." Fang Yuan thought.
409
410This Imperial Court blessed land opened once every ten years. The victors of the Imperial Court contest would enter and might change the terrain due to battles.
411
412However, when Imperial Court blessed land closes, the terrain slowly recovers.
413
414Until ten years later, it would reopen after being restored to its original state.
415
416"Di Qiu inheritance… since it was set up inside Imperial Court blessed land, and even had an innovative idea of using a fake grey-white stone slab to do it, the owner definitely put in huge effort and time for this. The inheritance should not be bad."
417
418With such thoughts, Fang Yuan slowly flew to the mound, after observing the mound's entrance for a while, he summoned several azure wolves, and entered the dark hole.
419
420Fifteen minutes later, the azure wolf returned to Fang Yuan unscathed.
421
422This deep hole looked pitch black from the outside, but once someone entered, they would realize that it was full of glowing moss, it was not dark at all.
423
424There was nothing inside the hole, the air was moist and there were only rocks and moss.
425
426Fang Yuan personally entered to check it out, but still found nothing.
427
428He frowned slightly, leaving the place. He was prepared for this result long ago: "This inheritance is not simple, if it can easily obtained, others would have gotten it long ago. Of course, I cannot rule out the possibility that someone else got it before me."
429
430But Fang Yuan analyzed and realized that the possibility of that was very low.
431
432"To come here, there are two conditions, one is to obtain the clue to the inheritance, and decipher the grey-white stone slab, a Gu Master skilled at appraisal is needed to do it. Secondly, they need to enter Imperial Court blessed land, that means they need to survive the Imperial Court contest, thus they need to have a keen eye, in order to be part of the victors."
433
434"This inheritance is not simple at all. It seems that to get it, I will need to interpret the cipher." Fang Yuan concluded.
435
436Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow.
437
438What was this cipher trying to say?
439
440Fang Yuan thought about it but he got no answers. Even though he had many thoughts, none of them lead to any conclusive ideas.
441
442"Nevermind, I'll leave it at that. There is still some time left inside Imperial Court blessed land."
443
444Fang Yuan flapped his wings and flew, bringing the wolf group with him towards the blessed land's central sacred palace. That was the most important part of his plan, he spent so much time disguising himself, it was all in order to enter Imperial Court blessed land.
445
446Obtaining landscape as before Gu was his top priority, but other than that, it was the inheritance of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
447
448Not must him, most of the strong Gu Masters would choose to go to the sacred palace.
449
450The sacred palace was the central area of Imperial Court blessed land, it was the essence of the blessed land.
451
452The sacred palace was one of the four resting chambers of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it was also his most important resting chamber. His other chambers were in eastern sea, western desert and southern border.
453
454In central continent, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had an even larger and grander resting chamber in the sky, it was situated within Longevity Heaven.
455
456In history, there were ten rank nine Gu Masters, known as 'Immortal Venerable' and 'Demon Venerable'.
457
458These ten existed across the long river of time, from the immemorial antiquity era to the remote antiquity era, to the olden antiquity era, to the medieval antiquity era, and finally, the late antiquity era. Each one of them was the absolute expert of their time, they were unparalleled and invincible in the world. At the same time, they each had their specialities and unique abilities, they were all very different.
459
460The bloodthirsty Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, the mysterious Red Lotus Demon Venerable, the knowledgeable Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, the peaceful Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable…
461
462Similarly, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was also a person full of legends and incredible stories.
463
464He was a demonic path Gu Master born of northern plains. He was always lucky and fortunate in his life, having lots of good events. Not only could he avoid dangers, he could even turn them into blessings.
465
466After he became a demonic path Gu Immortal, he was a casonova and toyed with women everywhere, no one could restrain him. Even the number one fairy of Spirit Affinity House in central continent back then, one of the top ten sects, became his wife.
467
468Because of that, he became an external supreme elder of Spirit Affinity House, and converted over to the righteous path.
469
470Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had a dissolute nature, after becoming an Immortal Venerable, and ascending to the Immortal Court, he became the fourth generation Immortal King. He next build five great resting chambers, and had over several tens of millions of concubines.
471
472He was extremely energetic, when he was a thousand years old, he was still taking in young girls from all over the world to expand his harem.
473
474Thus, among all of the venerables, he had the most offsprings.
475
476He had too many children, he could not even remember most of their names.
477
478These children were spread all over the five regions. Right now, they were mostly concentrated in northern plains, and those Gu Master who had Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's bloodline, were collectively known as the Huang Jin family.
479
480"Women are like clothes while brothers are like our hands and feet.""Hereditary monarchy!""Beauty is the natural dowry of a woman.""I wish I could marry every single woman in the world!" All these were his catchphrases.
481
482Even though time flowed mercilessly, and eras changed, he still left behind a dazzling proof of his glorious existence in history.
483
484Especially in northern plains, Huang Jin family controlled nearly the entire region, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was still influencing every generation thus far.
485
486Sacred palace, the central control hall.
487
488Night.
489
490The silvery brilliant light shone on Hei Lou Lan's face.
491
492He raised his head as he looked at a plaque on the central control hall. His giant bear-like body stood upright under the silver light.
493
494As the alliance leader, with the Huang Jin bloodline flowing in him, once he entered Imperial Court blessed land, he would automatically arrive in the sacred palace.
495
496This plaque in the central control hall was huge. It was sixty meters long, twenty-five meters wide, and there were two huge words on it — Hereditary Monarchy!
497
498The golden light shining off it was clear and dazzling.
499
500The central control hall was huge and grand, like the house of a giant. Under this plaque, even Hei Lou Lan's fat body seemed tiny.
501
502"Hereditary monarchy huh…" He looked with a complicated expression, there was pain and hatred, admiration, anger, and aloofness.
503
504"Lord." Cunning Gentleman Sun Shi Han came over, calling out softly.
505
506"What is the matter?" Hei Lou Lan turned around, his expression had been completely sealed away, he returned to his usual arrogant, boorish, and irritable attitude.
507
508Cunning Gentleman did not feel anything amiss as he took out a letter from his pocket, reporting: "This is Sole Blade General Pan Ping's letter. He said in the letter that Wolf King Chang Shan Yin devoured an inheritance alone, extorting him in public and made very vile actions. He hopes lord can seek justice for him."
509
510"Oh?" Hei Lou Lan stretched out his fat right arm.
511
512Cunning Gentleman quickly passed the letter to him with both hands.
513
514"Lord, I am not trying to be nosy, but this Chang Shan Yin is getting more overbearing. He actually bullied and humiliated his own alliance mate. Sigh, Lord Pan Ping was too kind hearted, he thought about old relationships and wanted to share an inheritance with Chang Shan Yin. But the result was that he was treated like this. Wolf King Chang Shan Yin has great merits indeed, but this does not mean he can act as he wish. Otherwise, if everyone was like him, wouldn't we be in complete chaos?"
515
516Cunning Gentleman carefully chose his words while Hei Lou Lan was reading the letter.
517
518Hei Lou Lan snorted, stretching out his hand: "Hand it over."
519
520"Ah, lord you mean…" Cunning Gentleman was shocked.
521
522"This is only Pan Ping's side of the story, Zhu Zai should've sent a letter too." Hei Lou Lan had a sharp gaze.
523
524Cunning Gentleman quickly laughed: "Lord is truly wise and mighty, I am in complete awe."
525
526Hei Lou Lan took the second letter and swept through the content, he was expressionless and Sun Shi Han could not read his intentions at all.
527
528This letter was merely Zhu Zai seeking credit for his actions, combined with the first letter, Hei Lou Lan understood what had happened.
529
530He squeezed with his hand and the two letters were corroded into nothingness by a dark light.
531
532"After Pan Ping and the others arrive, go to the supply camp and give them some compensation." Hei Lou Lan instructed.
533
534"Yes, lord." Cunning Gentleman bowed, but after a while, he raised his head in confusion as Hei Lou Lan did not speak further: "Are we not punishing that Wolf King Chang Shan Yin?"
535
536"Punish? What a joke!" Hei Lou Lan laughed: "Why do I need to punish him? If it was me, I would've done the same time. Except I would not do it in such an ugly way."
537
538Sun Shi Han was indignant, urging: "Lord, I am different opinions. This Wolf King Chang Shan Yin regards himself highly and is untamable, we cannot tolerate his actions. Although he has great achievements, without lord's tribe funding him, would he have such a huge wolf group? He is a northern plains hero, he has great reputation. If lord does not punish him, he is just going to become more overbearing. In fact, he might even overthrow you and in the end, everyone would know the name of Chang Shan Yin, but not lord's name."
539
540"Hahaha."
541
542"Lord, why are you laughing?"
543
544"Shi Han, you're overthinking it. After this happened, what reputation would Chang Shan Yin still have? Bullying the weak because he is strong, greedily taking an inheritance for himself, it would ruin his reputation. Furthermore, he does not have the Huang Jin bloodline, without a guest token, he cannot enter the True Yang Building."
545
546After pausing for a while, Hei Lou Lan continued: "From this matter, we can see that Chang Shan Yin is only a mortal. He has desires, and greed, that makes things easy. Moreover, I have Chang tribe and Ge tribe in my hands now. He is already rank five peak stage, such a genius like him would definitely want to progress further. But I will only reveal to him the method to reach Gu Immortal realm after he joins Hei tribe."
547
548"I know you hate Chang Shan Yin, but later, I still need him when challenging True Yang Building. Do not bother me in the future with such tiny matters. Do you understand?"
549
550"Yes lord." Cunning Gentleman lowered his head, his voice slightly trembling.
551
552"Mm, you may leave."
553
554"This subordinate takes his leave." Sun Shi Han brought his disappointment with him as he left the central control hall.

559Chapter 553: Imperial Court Sacred Palace
560
561
562
563
564The wind was blowing past the ears.
565
566In the golden sky, brilliant rays were shining down.
567
568The azure wolf group moved in the sky, as Fang Yuan rode the azure wolf king, allowing the wind to blow his hair backwards.
569
570His gaze was solemn, he was pondering internally. These days, he had been trying to decipher the quote from Di Qiu inheritance, but he was making no progress.
571
572A glorious palace gradually appeared in his vision, emerging from the plain horizon.
573
574Sensing this, Fang Yuan looked over as he swept the scattered thoughts in his mind away.
575
576A trace of relief flashed past his face.
577
578Sacred palace, he was finally there!
579
580As Fang Yuan got closer, the large palace slowly showed its full features.
581
582It had eight levels, each was about two kilometers tall. The first level, which was the bottom level, had the greatest surface area. The second level was above the first level, and so on.
583
584Each level had walls around it, forming a hollow tube.
585
586The snow-white walls were nine meters thick, the walls were joined together with no gaps. On the walls, there were rainbow colors towers at set intervals. Each tower had different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, respectively.
587
588After many levels were stacked together, the entire sacred palace looked like a tall mountain.
589
590As Fang Yuan got closer, it was as if the sacred palace was rising from the ground, shooting up and piercing the heavens!
591
592Grand and spectacular, the sacred palace!
593
594Even with Fang Yuan's depth of knowledge, he was gasping in admiration when he saw this.
595
596"What's that thing flying in the sky 1  ?" 
597
598"Wolf King has arrived!"
599
600"Just like what the information said, that should be the azure wolf group."
601
602Fang Yuan's arrival attracted the attention of the Gu Masters inside the sacred palace.
603
604At this point, there were almost ten thousand people in the sacred palace. These people were lucky, after entering the blessed land, they landed close to the sacred palace. Thus, they were earlier than Fang Yuan.
605
606Hei Lou Lan had given instructed already, thus the Gu Master tasked to welcome him quickly reacted.
607
608When Fang Yuan landed, there were already people standing at the huge gate of the first level.
609
610The moment Fang Yuan's myriad wolf king touched the ground, the escort Gu Master came to greet him: "Lord Wolf King, you have arrived. It is my honor to bring you into the city. Your place is residence is on the eighth level, we have already prepared the room for you."
611
612"Mm, no rush, bring me around the place first." Fang Yuan said lightly, getting off the azure wolf. As a form of respect to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Gu Masters were not allowed to ride their steed inside the sacred palace, they could only walk.
613
614"As you wish lord, this is my honor."
615
616Fang Yuan followed the escort Gu into the sacred palace.
617
618Inside the sacred palace, there were large numbers of pavilions and terraces, palaces and courtyards. Looking from outside, the edges of the roof were curved outside, they were silver and golden in color, looking magnificent and grand.
619
620All sorts of buildings were interconnected. At some places, there was lots of free space and buildings were huge. At some places, the pathways were intercrossed and halls were everywhere, making it easy to get lost.
621
622As for the interior of the pavilion hall, be it the pillars or the main support, they were carved with lots of beautiful images and decorations, it radiated an aura of prosperity.
623
624"Lord, this is entertainment palace, the noble ancestor Giant Sun would hold a grand music festival here in this palace daily when he lived here. According to history, during each festival, there would be large numbers of concubines fighting to present their dance, in order to get ancestor Giant Sun's attention."
625
626"Lord, this is spring soup hall, it has the largest hot spring in northern plains. Ancestor Giant Sun would come here weekly with a thousand concubines, to soak in the water and have fun."
627
628"This is floating scent yard, ancestor Giant Sun had once moved the legendary 'wine pool' and 'meat forest' here. Every morning, the meat forest would produce all sorts of delicious meat fruits. At night, the wine pool would produce lots of fragrant wine."
629
630The escort Gu Master introduced each area they went to, he was very eloquent.
631
632Fang Yuan walked casually, looking around, he found it very interesting.
633
634At the sacred palace's fourth level, the escort Gu Master brought Fang Yuan into the main palace.
635
636"Lord, this is one of the eight main palaces of sacred palace, drawing palace. Ancestor Giant Sun was very talented, he was very skilled at drawing beauties. All of the drawings inside this palace were done by him alone. Please come this way."
637
638The escort Gu Master opened the side door of the palace, inviting Fang Yuan in.
639
640The eight main palaces of sacred palace had main doors, but only Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could use them. Although he was dead already, this rule was passed down, and his descendants followed this rule as a form of respect and reverence towards Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
641
642Once they entered the palace, a large wall of drawings filled Fang Yuan's vision.
643
644There were nothing in this drawing palace, but huge walls. On these walls, there were all sorts of beauties, alluring ones, innocent ones, smiling ones, or those deep in thought. They were in all sorts of postures and positions, there were eighty thousand drawings!
645
646"Those that were drawn here were well-liked by ancestor Giant Sun for a period of time. Of course, it is a woman's greatest honor to be hand-drawn by a venerable. Ancestor Giant Sun had lots of concubines, but those recorded here were the cream of the crop, they could be preserved eternally here."
647
648The escort Gu master said with a look of admiration.
649
650Fang Yuan did not speak, he only looked and thought to himself: "I wouldn't call this eternally. At least in my previous five hundred years, Imperial Court blessed land was destroyed by central continent Gu Immortals, and the sacred palace became history. Sigh, true immortality is something that not even someone as strong as an Immortal Venerable could achieve…"
651
652When people came here, they would be stunned by the sacred palace's grand and imposing aura, even if they were not overwhelmed, they would feel great admiration.
653
654But Fang Yuan could sense a trace of decay and rot in this brilliance.
655
656Without eternal life, so what if you were as strong as a venerable?
657
658Even the casanova Giant Sun had turned into ashes now. His traces were still here, proving his existence, but in Fang Yuan's opinion, such a proof was filled with the mockery of failure, it was truly pitiful.
659
660His interest had waned.
661
662"Let's go, bring me to the eighth level's accommodation." Fang Yuan sighed, instruction.
663
664The escort Gu Master got out of his daze and said hesitantly: "But lord, sacred palace has a lot of famous sites, we just started! Other than these, there are also beauty palace, young girl palace, alluring palace, innocent palace, and unique scent palace. Back then, female variant humans lived there, there were even hairy men. There is also jade statue palace, meant to sculpt beauties, and offer them to the ancestor."
665
666The escort Gu Master was anxious, all these places that he mentioned were not accessible with his status.
667
668He wanted to use this chance to satisfy his curiosity.
669
670But Fang Yuan did not fulfill his wish.
671
672During Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's final years, he rarely went to the mortal realm to stay in sacred palace. He lived in Longevity Heaven, in a reclusive manner.
673
674As for northern plains, large numbers of girls would be chosen for him to fill the sacred palace.
675
676The last time Giant Sun Immortal Venerable came to the sacred palace, he did not meet these girls, instead he built the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and established the rules for the Imperial Court contest, before vanishing from this world completely.
677
678The sacred palace thus faded out of history and those beautiful yet pitiful women became sparrows trapped in cages.
679
680Although Imperial Court blessed land was huge, it had no freedom, it was a prison even though the place was large.
681
682Eventually, they stayed there obediently and exhausted their lifespan. They could not escape, and no one had the guts to save them either.
683
684Under Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's glorious and noble light, countless women were buried in pain, grudge, and sadness.
685
686In Fang Yuan's eyes, the sacred palace did not have high value.
687
688It was merely Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's inheritance, no Gu Masters dared to set up their inheritance here. As for the precious resources he left behind, they had been taken by previous generations of Gu Masters already. Even the central continent Gu Immortals who came later could not find anything valuable.
689
690The only thing valuable in the sacred palace, was also the entire Imperial Court blessed land, no, more accurately, the most valuable thing in northern plains.
691
692That was at the peak of the eighth level — Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
693
694As Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had suggested, the Gu house made by Long Hair Ancestor personally.
695
696Rank eight Immortal Gu!
697
698But now was not the time.
699
700At the peak of the eighth level, it was complete emptiness. Only when the ten year blizzard strike would the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building show up.
701
702In the following days, Fang Yuan lived in seclusion, cultivating as he waited for True Yang Building to open.
703
704The azure wolf group was taken care of by others, he did not need to bother with it.
705
706During this period, Hei Lou Lan sent people to invite him, and revealed the intention to recruit him.
707
708To join Hei tribe, and become an external elder?
709
710Towards this suggestion, Fang Yuan said he needed to consider it. Although he showed a moved expression, he would definitely refuse this in this heart.
711
712Human skin Gu could disguise him as Wolf King, but it was a mortal Gu, the investigation of an Immortal Gu could expose him.
713
714The recruitment of external elders was a common trick used by northern plains' super forces. This way, demonic path Gu Immortals could become become righteous, and it would help the Huang Jin tribes greatly in managing northern plains.
715
716As for the incident on Xing Jiu peak, Hei Lou Lan did not mention a word about it. There was a rumor growing however, that Wolf King was extremely overbearing, describing his actions on Xing Jiu peak as vile and evil, using his strength to suppress the weak, the description was extremely biased but it sounded very convincing.
717
718Fang Yuan laughed in his heart, someone was obviously trying to ruin his reputation behind the scenes.
719
720"It is likely to be Pan Ping or Sun Shi Han who has motives to do this, or even Hei Lou Lan. But so what if my reputation turns sour?"
721
722Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had a terrible reputation, he was a demonic Gu Master who toyed with women all over the region. But now? He was a revered Immortal Venerable!
723
724When he expanded his harem, how many women's lives and happiness were ruined by him?
725
726But now, no one publicly accused him of anything.
727
728In this world, strength was everything.
729
730On Earth, one had to be mindful of rumors, it was easy to ruin a person's life with some malicious lies. But that was because they were all mortals, the laws of the world was different, individuals could not surpass the power of society.
731
732But here, it was different.
733
734That was one of the reasons why Fang Yuan loved this world.
735
736Half a month later, there was a water-like ripple in the golden sky.
737
738The entire land started shaking.
739
740Out of nowhere, there was wind as a piercing light shone at the peak of the sacred palace.
741
742The light lasted for forty-five minutes, as it gradually dispersed. A tower appeared at a previously barren area.
743
744Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
745
746ChibiGeneral
747
748Unique scent palace, female hairy men, Giant Sun is truly a man of culture.

751Chapter 554: Plotting is difficult, Living is tough
752
753Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
754
755
756
757
758It was a tower.
759
760Like a spring bamboo shoot, it was tall and slender and was upright.
761
762The tower's shape was vague with all kinds of gorgeous colors, like a body of colorful ink in the shape of a tower as it continually shook.
763
764"This is the initial appearance of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and only when the storm and snow covers the northern plains, and all the small towers of Imperial Court blessed land sink to the ground, will each layer of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building stabilize. Only then can one enter inside and explore." Fang Yuan stood at the entrance of his residence and looked to the direction of the dome.
765
766At this moment, there were shouts of jubilation and surprise in sacred palace. Gu Masters were cheering in high spirits while many mortals kneeled on the ground, praising the might of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
767
768"But even when Eighty-Eight True Yang Building takes form completely, I won't be able to enter because I am not a descendant of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and don't have his bloodline. If I want to enter inside, I would need Hei Lou Lan to get me a guest token. Well, there is no hurry, is True Yang Building so easy to rush into? Hei Lou Lan will need external help like me sooner or later."
769
770After a while, Fang Yuan retracted his gaze and walked back to his room.
771
772As the door of the room closed, the sound of cheers from the outside immediately softened.
773
774Fang Yuan entered a secret room specially meant for cultivation and sat upright on a cushion.
775
776"Both of my apertures have now already reached rank five peak stage. In regards to enslavement path, I have azure wolf group, while with regards to strength path, I have killer move four arm wind king. Combined with my battle experience, I am already at the peak among the mortals. But to deal with a Gu Immortal…"
777
778Fang Yuan's brows slowly started to furrow.
779
780He was well aware of the enormous gap between immortal and mortal; a mortal going against an immortal was as hard as ascending to heaven.
781
782To him, the best situation right now would be Tai Bai Yun Sheng already having the recipe for Immortal Gu Landscape As Before in his mind.
783
784It would not have been good for Fang Yuan to make a move outside in northern plains, but it would be very convenient for him to do so in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
785
786Using Gu to plunder river as before and mountain as before Gu from Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and then plunder the Immortal Gu recipe from his mind.
787
788With such ample conditions, Fang Yuan could jump out of the chessboard and directly kill Tai Bai Yun Sheng who had yet to become an immortal, and then use the third refinement opportunity to request Lang Ya land spirit to refine landscape as before Gu.
789
790However, the possibility of Tai Bai Yun Sheng, a mortal, possessing the Immortal Gu recipe of Landscape As Before was next to nothing.
791
792Moreover, according to the vague rumors in his previous life, when Tai Bai Yun Sheng became a Gu Immortal, heaven and earth reacted and Dao marks attracted each other, making the two rank five Gu spontaneously merge together to form rank six Immortal Gu Landscape As Before.
793
794Fang Yuan had a prudent nature, and would never place all his hopes on an indistinct future.
795
796"If the situation is messed up, then I will have to deal with the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng. At that time, I can only rely on myself. Azure wolf group and four arm wind king clearly won't be enough."
797
798Fang Yuan's strength was already at the peak among mortals. Despite cultivation of both enslavement and strength path having the greatest unresolved issue, he was still among the first class of rank five experts.
799
800If compared to southern border, he was in the same level as Shang clan's genius clan leader Shang Yan Fei and Wu clan leader Empress Wu Ji.
801
802Using the experiences of his past lives, the advantage of rebirth and taking a series of risks, struggling at death's door several times, Fang Yuan achieved such rapid growth that it would shock the world.
803
804But even so, in front of a Gu Immortal, even if it was a newly advanced Gu Immortal, this strength was not enough.
805
806"To resolve this huge issue, there are only about three ways."
807
808"First is to search Eighty-Eight True Yang Building for the strongest Gu worms or unique methods."
809
810"Second is to secretly make arrangements against Tai Bai Yun Sheng as much as possible so that there will be ample preparation when I have to truly make a move."
811
812"Third is to resolve the problem of enslavement and strength dual cultivation and raise my battle strength further."
813
814Fang Yuan silently pondered.
815
816He was fully aware that he had exhausted almost all his previous life's foundation in creating four arm wind king. After all, he had specialized in blood path in his previous life and had only dabbled in enslavement and strength paths.
817
818The so-called plots and traps against Gu Immortals were too inferior to be even mentioned and were not reliable. Fang Yuan had advanced to Gu Immortal in his previous life, thus he knew when a mortal transformed to a Gu Immortal, from their head to toe, inside to outside, they would go through baptism, and even their appearance would change.
819
820The only thing that he could truly place high hopes on was Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
821
822Days passed by, the golden light and silver light in the sky continued to switch between one another.
823
824Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was still gradually forming, its sunset hues gradually rose and covered most of the sacred palace in its light.
825
826Cool wind breezed through Imperial Court blessed land with birds singing and the fragrance of flowers filling the air. But at the outside world in northern plains, snow had continued to fall for over a month already.
827
828Blizzard was spreading over the northern plains in full force with its bone-chilling cold wind and snow.
829
830Both the sky and ground were a scene of white, and mist covered one's vision.
831
832Trees had already started dying and were frozen into pillars of ice. Mounds and hills were covered with thick layers of snow and large piles had formed in valleys as well.
833
834Beast groups died in large numbers and even weeds with vigorous life force were also frozen into ice.
835
836Even when one spat, the saliva would instantly turn into ice.
837
838But heaven never blocked all paths, somehow, there would always be a trace of hope left.
839
840In each region of northern plains, there were remnants of tribes. Some were small and some big, and relying on geographically advantageous places like warm pond valley, they were able to resist the wind and snow and survive in the blizzard.
841
842Man tribe who occupied Hong Yan valley was one of them.
843
844Hall of affairs.
845
846The elders divided into two rows with Man tribe leader sitting high at the main seat.
847
848Rank three external elder Shi Wu kneeled on the ground: "Lord tribe leader, I come forward to beg for forgiveness."
849
850"Oh, what is your fault?" Man Tu asked with a slight smile.
851
852"Reporting to lord tribe leader, I was in charge of looking after spirit spring D, but it suddenly froze and dried up yesterday, it is now ruined." Shi Wu respectfully replied.
853
854"Hehehe, not a problem." Man Tu lightly waved his hand; as a matter of fact, he had already known this news.
855
856"Elder Shi Wu, stand up, it is the ten year disaster now, there is a chance of every spirit spring suddenly freezing and drying up. This is not your fault."
857
858'Lord tribe leader's kindness knows no bounds, I am ashamed!' Shi Wu was moved to tears and sighed inwardly.
859
860His surname was Shi and was half an outsider to Man tribe. Although he had married into Man tribe, but he had still been pushed aside.
861
862A problem occurred in the spirit spring he had been put in charge of, this matter could have been big or small. Fortunately, this generation's Man tribe leader was open-minded and did not look into it.
863
864"However, anything concerning spirit springs are major affairs of the tribe. Man Duo, how many spirit springs do we have left now?" Man Tu's brows slightly furrowed as he asked.
865
866Man Duo was Man Tu's third son; thin and small in physique but was shrewd and crafty, and had been assisting Man Tu in handling internal affairs of the tribe till now.
867
868He immediately replied: "Lord father, Hong Yan valley now still has seven spirit springs marked A, B, C, E, F, G and H. Among them, G and H spirit springs are already close to drying up and will only last less than a month."
869
870"Alright." Man Tu nodded, "That is to say, a month later, we will only have five spirit springs. Elders, what do you think?"
871
872"Lord tribe leader, this thing is very difficult to deal with. This is a natural disaster, it is almost impossible for humans to reverse the situation, we might as well cut down on the primeval stones given to Gu Masters."
873
874"Hong Yan valley's eight spirit springs were accumulated bitterly over these ten years by our tribe. The situation of our tribe this year is much better than the previous times. It is all thanks to Lord tribe leader's wise guidance that we don't need to worry, other tribes are in a much more worse situation."
875
876"Even if all the spirit springs dry up, it won't be much problem. Wait till this ten year snow disaster passes, and at that time, new spirit springs will emerge one after another; when fortune arises after extreme suffering."
877
878Elders expressed their thoughts one after another.
879
880Man Tu calmly listened to them and nodded: "Spirit springs are very important for a Gu Master's cultivation and cannot be neglected. It is difficult for a Gu Master's cultivation to progress without primeval stones. The blizzard has just started, snow monsters will start roaming about soon. The main defense of the Hong Yan valley will still rely on Gu Masters."
881
882He paused before mumbling: "Let's do it like this, take out one spring egg Gu from the tribe warehouse and plant it. This new spirit spring shall be titled D."
883
884"Lord tribe leader, spring egg Gu is a rank five Gu." An elder objected in heartache.
885
886Man Tu raised his brows: "So what if it is a rank five Gu? You all know that only with a spirit spring's supply of primeval stones can our tribe's Gu Masters advance forward continually. They can then preserve their strength and prepare themselves when resisting snow monsters. As long as there is not a huge loss of our Gu Masters, our tribe can preserve its strength. And when the blizzard passes and spring blossoms, it will be time for our tribe to realize our ambitions!"
887
888Realize our ambitions…
889
890The elders' eyes brightened at these words.
891
892Man Tu had been putting all his efforts in developing the tribe and under his leadership, Man tribe had continually expanded and swallowed many small tribes over these years. Now, Man tribe was occupying Hong Yan valley, it could already be said to be a ruler of a region.
893
894But from his words, everyone could hear this Man tribe leader still wanted to progress further. The current Man tribe was still not able to satisfy his ambitions!
895
896The elder who had objected quickly apologized: "Lord tribe leader is wise and resolute, I am willing to lay down my life at tribe leader's command."
897
898"We are willing to give our lives for tribe leader!" Soon after, the other elders spoke together.
899
900"Having everyone with me, we can seek supremacy." Man Tu laughed loudly, then his expression concentrated and he ordered, "Elder Shi Wu will be in charge of the new spirit spring D."
901
902Everyone present gazed at Shi Wu with envy.
903
904Looking after a spirit spring was a lucrative job.
905
906Shi Wu was truly moved this time, his eyes reddened as he said: "I am fortunate to have tribe leader's trust, I will definitely do my best to repay the tribe!"
907
908The discussions continued for a while longer before everyone dispersed.
909
910Shi Wu did not leave, instead following Man Duo to the tribe warehouse and took a spring egg Gu.
911
912"This is spring egg Gu?" Shi Wu held the Gu in his hand and gazed at it strangely, his tone trembling.
913
914His expression quickly concentrated and he then bowed towards Man Duo: "Third young master, please enlighten me on how to activate this Gu."
915
916Man Duo smiled as he saw Shi Wu adapting to circumstances: "I do not dare to give you advice. This spring egg Gu is a rank five Gu and has extremely high demand on primeval essence, even a rank five middle stage Gu Master cannot activate it at one try. Elder Shi Wu, you have a rank three cultivation, and as such you would need to use lasting Gu and continuing Gu to activate it. But this way, the quickest it will take for you to plant the spirit spring is close to a month. Elder, you don't need to worry, I will help you by the side during this time."
917
918"I am very grateful to third young master." Shi Wu promptly expressed his thanks.

926
927
928
929
930The location to create the spirit spring had already been decided.
931
932Shi Wu brought the spring egg Gu and went with Man Duo, after making the preparations, he starting using his primeval essence and sent it into the lasting Gu and continuing Gu, before injecting it into the spring egg Gu.
933
934The spring egg Gu floated in the air, absorbing primeval essence as it moved up and down slowly.
935
936For the next eighteen days, Shi Wu slept three hours a day, rushing to eat his meals and settle his excretion. Although it was tough, the effects were showing.
937
938As he continued to inject primeval essence, the spring egg Gu was shining with a brilliant light.
939
940These days, Man Duo had come to inspect again, and upon seeing this, he was overjoyed: "We are almost there. There are mild cracks on the spring egg Gu already, once it breaks, we will succeed. It has been tough on elder Shi Wu."
941
942"Not at all, not at all." Shi Wu refined the Gu while humbly replying.
943
944He was mentally fatigued, his body had gotten thinner. With his cultivation, forcefully activating a rank five Gu was very tiring. But if he succeeded, it would be a huge service to the tribe.
945
946Man Duo continued: "During this elder meeting, lord father had specially mentioned it. Lord Shi Wu's hard work is evident in everyone's eyes, if you have any requests, we will try to satisfy it."
947
948Shi Wu was extremely grateful: "I am ashamed, with lord tribe leader's care, how can I go overboard and request for more. But I have a question."
949
950"Oh? Please speak."
951
952"Young master Man Duo, I feel that Hong Yan valley had been getting colder these days. The surrounding vegetation and beasts have been freezing to death."
953
954Man Duo's expression turned ugly. Hong Yan valley was indeed facing a problem. It had been mentioned during the last few tribe meetings. The result was, the underground magma supporting Hong Yan valley had been reduced due to unknown reasons.
955
956This was different from historical records.
957
958In the earlier meeting, tribe leader Man Tu flew into a rage, wanting everyone to think of a solution. At the same time, they had to conceal this matter to prevent their morale from sinking.
959
960"Elder Shi Wu is at a crucial moment of refining the spirit spring, I should not tell him this bad news, or his mind will waver and ruin this important matter."
961
962Thinking so, Man Duo lied and reassured Shi Wu.
963
964Shi Wu did not sense anything wrong, he was about to speak but suddenly, his expression changed, shouting: "Oh no, it's the flying hand snow!"
965
966Man Duo turned around and was shocked: "How can there be flying hand snow in Hong Yan valley?!"
967
968Only to see that in the sky, fierce winds were blowing as palm-sized snowflakes carrying the aura of rank five Gu descended slowly.
969
970"Oh no, come quickly and protect the spring egg Gu!" Man Duo shouted, calling the nearby Gu Masters over.
971
972But the blizzard was powerful, the wind cut like razors and the might of heaven and earth descended, after resisting it for a while, everyone starting to fall into a disadvantage.
973
974"Snow monster!"
975
976"Snow monsters have appeared!"
977
978Trouble comes in pairs, the blizzard gathered and formed into a six meter tall snow monster.
979
980The defense of the Gu Masters was easily broken. In the sky, large numbers of flying hand snow gathered into a huge palm. Under everyone's furious and indignant, while completely helpless stares, the giant snow hand grabbed the spring egg Gu in the air and squeezed.
981
982Crack!
983
984With a light sound, the snow hand disintegrated.
985
986The snowflakes landed on the ground, the rank five spring egg Gu inside had vanished already.
987
988　　...
989
990The silver light shone like a miasma gently raining down on Imperial Court blessed land.
991
992Howl howl…
993
994Azure wolf group sprinted on the ground, some ran in the air, while others were dashing with their claws.
995
996Even though there were Gu masters feeding them in the sacred palace, these wolves still desired freedom. They wanted to be ferocious beasts roaming the sky, and not canaries trapped in cages.
997
998As their master, Fang Yuan let them do as they wished. He himself was spreading his eagle wings as he flew in the sky, looking at the ground below him.
999
1000It was Di Qiu inheritance.
1001
1002"Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow… what does this sentence mean?" Fang Yuan pondered.
1003
1004He had been coming over to explore the inheritance grounds every few days.
1005
1006Instinct told him that this Di Qiu inheritance was not simple.
1007
1008Thus, every time he went out, he used the excuse of walking his wolves, to train them and practise his manipulation skills.
1009
1010But even so, he could not stay for long.
1011
1012Fang Yuan was now a person with high status, second to only Hei Lou Lan. His every movement was scrutinized by everyone. He was no longer as invisible as before.
1013
1014This time, he had no findings, and to prevent suspicion, he could only leave for now.
1015
1016Even though he could completely occupy this entire area using his status now, Fang Yuan did not do that.
1017
1018If this inheritance had high value, even if he had great strength, others would compete with him.
1019
1020He did not have Huang Jin bloodline, to enter Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he needed Hei Lou Lan's guest token.
1021
1022However, he had been sending people to scout the area.
1023
1024The reason was naturally the azure wolf group.
1025
1026Everytime he went out to hunt with the azure wolf group, there would be a route. Before moving out, he would send Gu Masters to scout out the path for him, and go to the path that had the most prey.
1027
1028There were five to six routes to choose from each time, but each one of them would be close to Di Qiu inheritance.
1029
1030One must act flawlessly, Fang Yuan followed the route that he planned and continued hunting with the azure wolf group.
1031
1032There were a lot of beasts and resources inside Imperial Court blessed land. Especially near the small towers, there were swarms of worms and countless wild Gu.
1033
1034Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was something only a small number of Gu Masters had the chance to enter. Most Gu Masters would roam in the huge blessed land, subdue wild Gu, or find inheritances.
1035
1036Fang Yuan followed the trail and found many Gu Masters.
1037
1038As for the area near Di Qiu inheritance, there were naturally many Gu Masters passing by.
1039
1040Fang Yuan was not afraid that Di Qiu mountain would get taken by someone. In fact, he was hoping that someone would find it and trigger it. He would get news of it by then and would be able to strike easily.
1041
1042After all, he had already used his strength to snatch an inheritance back on Xing Jiu peak.
1043
1044Rumble rumble…
1045
1046There were some loud sounds coming from the ground.
1047
1048Fang Yuan rode the azure myriad wolf king, and looked down, seeing a small tower shining with a bright light, sinking into the ground slowly.
1049
1050Fang Yuan was not surprised.
1051
1052In the progress of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's gradually appearance, the small towers in Imperial Court blessed land would slowly sink into the ground.
1053
1054These small towers were like nests that were filled with all the wild Gu that had grown in the last ten years.
1055
1056Many people guessed: The wild Gu in these small towers were the energy source to form Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. In a way, these small towers were a portion of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1057
1058This guessed had never gotten confirmation.
1059
1060Gu Immortals who could confirm this were unable to enter Imperial Court blessed land. And those mortals who could enter were way too weak compared to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they could not decipher it.
1061
1062But Fang Yuan was an exception.
1063
1064"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has an intriguing design, it is truly a work of heaven. These small towers are indeed a portion of True Yang Building." Fang Yuan was far more knowledgeable than other Gu Immortals in this aspect, because he controlled the most complete information regarding Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1065
1066This source of information was Lang Ya land spirit. The land spirit in his life was the rank eight Gu Immortal Long Hair Ancestor who created the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1067
1068"Eh? Wait!" Fang Yuan's body shook, a flash of inspiration appeared in his heart, sweeping away the confusion in his heart.
1069
1070This moment, he finally found the strange thing about Di Qiu — there was no small tower near Di Qiu!
1071
1072"Indeed, that is the case." Fang Yuan's eyes shone with brilliance, in the last few times he brought the azure wolves to hunt, he would either be in the sky near Di Qiu, or the ground near it.
1073
1074Now that he recalled it, he realized the peculiarity of Di Qiu.
1075
1076"By logic, every eight li should have a small tower. And every small tower corresponds to the regions in northern plains. But near Di Qiu, there is nothing!"
1077
1078Thinking so, Fang Yuan got excited.
1079
1080This was a huge breakthrough!
1081
1082Following this lead, he could potentially unravel the mystery of Di Qiu inheritance.
1083
1084But Fang Yuan did not turn back.
1085
1086Rushing over in an excited manner like this was asking to be suspected.
1087
1088He controlled his excited emotions, and continued on the route he had prepared. The azure wolves moved out from the sacred palace, and after one round, returned.
1089
1090The sacred palace was like a mountain peak, the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building at its peak was still nurturing. The aurora it emitted was covering the entire sacred palace. The grand and beautiful sacred palace was shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura.
1091
1092Fang Yuan went out to hunt every six or seven days with the azure wolf group.
1093
1094But plans cannot keep up with circumstances, three days later, the aurora gathered into one point and starting taking form.
1095
1096The first layer of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had formed!
1097
1098This was a joyful news, causing the sacred palace to go into a commotion. At once, everyone's hot topic was about this building.
1099
1100Of course, most of the Gu Masters could only watch.
1101
1102Hei Lou Lan went in excitedly, several hours later, he returned in a pathetic state, wounds covering his body.
1103
1104His injuries were not light, but they could not conceal the shock in his eyes.
1105
1106During the second expedition, he brought many Hei tribe Gu Masters.
1107
1108Hei tribesmen had the bloodline of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they could freely enter and exit True Yang Building without restriction.
1109
1110During such times, tribesmen were the most reliable. Why was there a need to share with outsiders what one could devour alone?
1111
1112When Hei Lou Lan returned, he looked extremely tired. As for the Gu Masters who went in, only sixty percent returned.
1113
1114Thereafter, all sorts of rumors and information spread, they were all regarding True Yang Building.
1115
1116Some said that the True Yang Building was a work of heaven, it was spectacular; some said that it was difficult to explore, every step was precarious; some said that the rewards for passing it was very enticing…
1117
1118By now, everyone was moved.

1130
1131
1132*Bam!*
1133
1134Hei Lou Lan raised his leg, kicking his tribesman Hei Qi Sheng to the ground.
1135
1136"Useless thing!" The black fatty cursed, the muscles on his face twitched as he revealed a ruthless and savage gaze.
1137
1138The hall was silent, all of the Hei tribe Gu Masters did not dare to speak a word.
1139
1140Hei Lou Lan was called 'Black Tyrant', it was due to his famous ruthless and cruel personality. Especially when he was obstructed six times by the 54th round, his anger was ignited like a barrel of gunpowder.
1141
1142"Lord tribe leader, it was my inability, I deserve death!" Hei Qi Sheng sprawled on the ground, begging for forgiveness while prostrating.
1143
1144"Idiot! Why is there such a useless idiot in our Hei tribe?!" Hei Lou Lan gritted his teeth, kicking Hei Qi Sheng several times. Seeing that he was coughing blood due to the kicks, Hei Lou Lan's anger subsided slightly.
1145
1146The surrounding elders were silent, not daring to say a word.
1147
1148Last time, the elders who pleaded for Hei Qi Sheng were beaten until they received heavy injuries by Hei Lou Lan, they were still bedridden now.
1149
1150Hei Lou Lan temper had been curbed slightly during the Imperial Court contest. But now that they were in the blessed land, his poor temper and cruel nature were back at full force.
1151
1152"You are also all idiots, useless trash! Why are you all standing here? Speak, tell me a good method to break through the 54th round. Otherwise, I will dock your salary. The tribe does not feed useless people! I gave you primeval stones, I gave you a luxurious life, raising your status, what was it all for? Now is the time to perform your duties!!" Hei Lou Lan screamed, the windows were shaking from the force of his voice.
1153
1154The elders were sighing bitterly internally. They were like drooping eggplants, lowering their head and communicating with their expressions, but no one dared to speak first.
1155
1156Hei Lou Lan stared and looked around, fixing his gaze on elder Hei Pei.
1157
1158As the most senior and experienced first elder Hei Pei, he gritted his teeth and walked out, bowing in respect: "Lord, the way I see it, this 54th round is a test of enslavement path, it is very difficult and it cannot be passed without master level enslavement attainment. Although elder Hei Qi Sheng is an enslavement path Gu Master that we nurtured, he is not a master. To pass this round, we need Lord Wolf King's strength."
1159
1160"Hmph, you are asking me to seek outside help? You want to let the whole world see us Hei tribe as a joke, as a weakling that needs outside reinforcements?" Hei Lou Lan's gaze was filled with ruthlessness as he screamed fiercely.
1161
1162Hei Pei's heart was shivering, but he bowed deeply and responded: "Lord tribe leader is strong and intelligent, you are an amazing leader, the Lord of the Imperial Court. With your presence, whoever dares to think that Hei tribe is useless would be the number one fool in this world. This is not outside reinforcement to be exact. This Wolf King Chang Shan Yin is part of the alliance army, he is your subordinate. Using him for this is but natural. I am sure Chang Shan Yin would be very grateful to lord, after all, he is an outsider but he given the chance to enter True Yang Building, it is his greatest honor."
1163
1164Hei Lou Lan heard this and his anger expression softened.
1165
1166The elders watched this as they praised Hei Pei's eloquence internally, he was indeed skilled to be the first elder.
1167
1168Hei Lou Lan walked slowly, he was very indignant.
1169
1170Currently, he had two guest tokens, they were obtained from the 12th and 46th round respectively as a reward from True Yang Building.
1171
1172It was not that he did not want to waste the tokens, but once he invited Wolf King, the reward for clearing the 54th round would go to Chang Shan Yin.
1173
1174If it was his tribesmen, Hei Lou Lan could use the authority of the tribe leader to make all of the rewards his. But according to the rules, these rewards should be given to the reinforcement.
1175
1176The rewards in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was extraordinary, even Hei Lou Lan was deeply moved.
1177
1178Be it Gu recipes, Gu worms, or others, each item could allow a Gu Master to rise up despite an ordinary background.
1179
1180Hei Lou Lan walked for several steps, sighing lightly.
1181
1182He knew that there was no point in forcing Hei Qi Sheng. Hei tribe had nurtured three enslavement path Gu Masters, one died in the Imperial Court contest, while Hei Qi Sheng was the stronger one out of the two left.
1183
1184But he was not an enslavement master, any master needed sufficient talent, it was not something that could be nurtured through abundant resources.
1185
1186Hei Lou Lan stopped walking: "Where is Hei Shu?"
1187
1188"Subordinate is here." Hei Shu was standing outside the hall, he was Hei Lou Lan's personal Gu Master attendant, hearing Hei Lou Lan's summon, he came in to greet him.
1189
1190"Go invite Wolf King here." Hei Lou Lan instructed.
1191
1192Hearing this, the elders in the hall sighed in relief. Hei Qi Sheng who was lying on the ground relaxed his body — this nightmare was over!
1193
1194"Yes lord tribe leader." Hei Shu left after receiving his orders.
1195
1196*Bam!*
1197
1198Hei Lou Lan kicked Hei Qi Sheng again: "You trash, why are you still lying here? You want Chang Shan Yin to see how pathetic our Hei tribe is after he comes here?"
1199
1200"Lord, lord I was wrong!" Hei Qi Sheng quickly apologised profusely.
1201
1202"Get lost and nurse your injuries!!" Hei Lou Lan screamed.
1203
1204"Yes, yes, yes lord!" Hei Qi Sheng struggled to get up, leaving in a wobbling state.
1205
1206Not long after, Hei Shu reported back with an apologetic look: "Lord tribe leader, Lord Wolf King is not in the sacred palace, he is out feeding his wolves."
1207
1208"What?" Hei Lou Lan's volume became louder, his brows were raised as his calm expression showed anger again.
1209
1210The elders were terrified, the first elder Hei Pei accused Hei Shu: "You junior, you do not know how to do your job. Even if Wolf King was not around, how could you return empty-handed? Could you not send a letter over, and state your intention, that Wolf King will come crawling back immediately!"
1211
1212"Lord, it was not my fault!" Hei Shu cried out innocently: "I already sent a letter over, but Wolf King replied already. He said that he was leading his wolves to hunt, it was a habit and he did not want to cut it in the middle. He wants us to wait, if we cannot wait, we can call Tang Miao Ming and the others instead."
1213
1214At once, everyone was shocked.
1215
1216First elder Hei Pei stared with his eyes wide opened, he did not believe it: "How can anyone be so indifferent? Did he really say that?!"
1217
1218"I have concrete evidence! Lord tribe leader, this is the letter Gu that Wolf King Chang Shan Yin sent back!" Hei Shu said, handing a star letter Gu to Hei Lou Lan.
1219
1220This was a star path Gu, it was rank four and gave the fastest replies. But it shone in the air as it flew, it created huge commotion and was easy to intercept.
1221
1222Of course, in Imperial Court blessed land, there was no such worries.
1223
1224Hei Lou Lan's mind entered the star letter Gu, as he snickered continuously: "This Wolf King has good temperament, he is able to control his desires so well."
1225
1226"Lord, Wolf King is an arrogant loner, everyone knows that. The way I see it, he is already laughing secretly, but is trying to put up a front." First elder Hei Pei analyzed, as the others elders nodded in agreement.
1227
1228"Hmph, of course he is being haughty. He is an enslavement master, and also a flying master. If you guys were masters, would we need to ask an outsider for help?" Hei Lou Lan screamed, causing the elders to shut up as some of the elders lowered their head even more.
1229
1230Honestly speaking, Fang Yuan was really not placing his attention on True Yang Building.
1231
1232He looked at Di Qiu below him, his heart palpitating: "There really isn't a small tower here. According to the terrain, this area should have a small tower, directly above Di Qiu, but now, this is just a pitch black hole… impressive, the Gu Master who made this inheritance is very impressive!"
1233
1234The Imperial Court blessed land had a small tower at every eight li interval. Actually, all of them were a part of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1235
1236Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was an Immortal Gu house that Long Hair Ancestor had refined back in the day, it was as high as rank eight.
1237
1238Next, after Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's preparations, it was a mirror of northern plains. The small towers were all over Imperial Court blessed land, they could be seen everywhere. Each of the towers had thousands of wild Gu, no one dared to target them or they would die.
1239
1240But now it seems that, the Gu Master who set up Di Qiu inheritance not only moved the small tower, he even set up this inheritance on that spot. Such methods and courage, such abilities, it made Fang Yuan confirm that this mysterious Gu Master was not a simple person.
1241
1242"No, rather than Gu Master, I might as well call him Gu Immortal! Even with the long time that had passed, and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's setup might have weakened, but it is not something mortals can alter. Only Gu Immortals can make minor changes to these arrangements, and create such a place." Fang Yuan's eyes were shining with uncertainty.
1243
1244He had accidentally gotten Di Qiu inheritance, but it was a Gu Immortal inheritance!
1245
1246Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow. What did this really mean?
1247
1248What sorts of treasures would be inside a Gu Immortal's inheritance.
1249
1250"Will there be an Immortal Gu?" Fang Yuan guessed daringly.
1251
1252If there was an Immortal Gu, it could match against the first floor of True Yang Building. Because even in the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the final round of every floor might not have an Immortal Gu reward.
1253
1254"Even without an Immortal Gu, Di Qiu inheritance was created with so much effort, there had to be an Immortal Gu recipe at least."
1255
1256Without Immortal Gu, an Immortal Gu recipe was also a huge reward. A complete Immortal Gu recipe was something not sold inside treasure yellow heaven.
1257
1258Gu Immortals would sell remnant recipes mostly. Even if they had complete Immortal Gu recipes, they would break it up and add in some mistakes before selling it.
1259
1260Complete Immortal Gu recipes could only be exchanged. And there were few instances of this happening throughout history.
1261
1262Fang Yuan curbed his imagination, and began to think calmly.
1263
1264With a crucial clue, his current train of thought had improved rapidly.
1265
1266He pieced together all sorts of clues, deciphering the time of Di Qiu inheritance's creation. It should be very long ago, at least, it should've existed since Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's time.
1267
1268But the more he thought, the more questions he had.
1269
1270Let's call this person Gu Immortal Di Qiu for now, who were they? Why did they set up an inheritance here? As a Gu Immortal, how did they get in? Most importantly, how did they know about the setup here, and the true principle behind the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building?
1271
1272If they were like Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and advanced to Gu Immortal realm inside Imperial Court blessed land, then there would be new explanations for what happened…
1273
1274Fang Yuan felt a headache as he stopped thinking.
1275
1276One star letter Gu tore through the sky and flew towards him.
1277
1278Fang Yuan received it, and saw that it was Hei Lou Lan urging him to return.
1279
1280"Nevermind, I shall go to True Yang Building first, and come back later. Gu Immortal Di Qiu most likely made use of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's setup flaws, once I enter True Yang Building, I might be able to find some clues and understand the mystery behind this!"
1281
1282Thinking so, Fang Yuan replied with the letter.
1283
1284Since Hei Lou Lan wrote a letter personally to rush him, Fang Yuan stopped acting arrogantly anymore, he immediately returned.
1285
1286"I will need to rely on Wolf King's strength this time." Hei Lou Lan saw Fang Yuan and laughed.
1287
1288He was very anxious in his heart.
1289
1290There was not much time inside Imperial Court blessed land. Once the ten year blizzard outside subsides, Imperial Court blessed land would close, and they would need to leave.
1291
1292Before that happens, Hei Lou Lan not only needs to complete the mission given by his tribe's Gu Immortals, he also needed to find a strength path Immortal Gu for himself.
1293
1294After Wolf King returned, Hei Lou Lan quickly organised the group again.
1295
1296The gang got to the building, as Hei Lou Lan handed Fang Yuan an ancient token: "This is the guest token. Wolf King does not have Huang Jin bloodline, you are an outside in the building's perspective. To enter it, you will need a guest token each time."
1297
1298Fang Yuan received the token and laughed lightly without any concern, saying: "I can't wait to witness the splendor of True Yang Building!"
1299
1300At this point, Hei Lou Lan did not push the door open, instead, he 'crashed' into the door.
1301
1302Fang Yuan followed suit, as the guest token shone in his hand, he imitated Hei Lou Lan and entered True Yang Building as well.

1310
1311Chapter 557: Three grades of evaluation, clearing with high grade?
1312
1313
1314
1315
1316Fang Yuan felt his body stiffen as a strong sense of pressure assaulted him as he entered the building.
1317
1318But soon after, the pressure lifted.
1319
1320He had entered True Yang Building completely, there was a lake in front of him.
1321
1322The sky was blue, there was ripples on the surface of the lake, and the surroundings were shrouded in vague foggy mountain shadows.
1323
1324The guest token in his hand turned into a puddle of cold molten iron, flowing down the gaps between his fingers.
1325
1326Each guest token could only be used once.
1327
1328Fang Yuan shook off the liquid from his hand, until they were all gone.
1329
1330He looked around, finding himself on an island at the center of the lake. There was someone beside him, it was Hei Lou Lan.
1331
1332"This is the 54th round." Hei Lou Lan did not look at Fang Yuan, instead facing forward: "Look, that is the problem brother Shan Yin has to deal with."
1333
1334Fang Yuan looked at the same direction, and saw that not far away, there was another island.
1335
1336On the island, there was a group of water snake lions.
1337
1338These water snake lions had a body of bright blue fur, they were extremely smooth. Its limbs were not claws, but were webbed feet like that of frogs. Their tails were poisonous snakes, coiling around the water lion's back or standing straight up, hissing with their tongues.
1339
1340Without Hei Lou Lan's introduction, a barrage of information from a mystical source entered Fang Yuan's brain at the same time —
1341
1342"Use the hedgehog fish on the island and break past the water snake lions' defense, occupy the island over there."
1343
1344Fang Yuan retracted his gaze, turning to look at the island around him.
1345
1346In the jade-blue water around the island, he saw the shadows of hedgehog fish swimming.
1347
1348At this time, Hei tribe elders came in one by one, standing beside Hei Lou Lan.
1349
1350"Be it water snake lions or hedgehog fish, they are wild beasts from the medieval era. Right now, they can only be found in the deep areas of eastern sea." An elder sighed.
1351
1352"In my opinion, this round is extremely unfair. The water snake lions are very strong, one of them can compete against five or six hedgehog fish. But the number of hedgehog fish we have here is only about twice of the water snake lions." A Hei tribe elder looked at the island ahead as he explained the situation to Fang Yuan.
1353
1354"No need to worry brother Shan Yin, we are here today for practice." Hei Lou Lan patted Fang Yuan's shoulders.
1355
1356After all, Fang Yuan enslaved wolf groups. But now, it was a fish group, and it was even an extremely rare, nearly extinct hedgehog fish in northern plains.
1357
1358Hei Lou Lan had failed about eight to nine times already, his best result was only killing thirty percent of the water snake lions. This made Hei tribe Gu Masters understand the difficulty of this round.
1359
1360Although Chang Shan Yin was an enslavement master, this was the True Yang Building set up by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
1361
1362Fang Yuan looked for a while and frowned.
1363
1364He estimated, with his abilities, controlling these hedgehog fish to kill the water snake lions was not hard. In fact, it was almost a guaranteed success.
1365
1366But although this round seemed simple, it was very elaborate.
1367
1368Back when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable set up the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the purpose was to leave an inheritance for descendants, and reward the outstanding ones. Thus, every round in True Yang Building would be split into low, middle, and high grade.
1369
1370Getting through with low grade would reward the least rewards, they would directly go to the next round.
1371
1372Getting through with middle grade would have twice the reward of low grade, during the next round, they would receive information about it.
1373
1374As for getting through with high grade, not only would they get twice the reward of middle grade, they would even be transported into a deep part of True Yang Building, a place called treasure room.
1375
1376This treasure room was filled with countless treasures, there were even several true immortal inheritances by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
1377
1378But the things inside the treasure room cannot be taken away easily, the person who cleared the round would need to exchange for them.
1379
1380Be it Gu worms, Gu recipes, or even their own cultivation experience, all these could be used for exchanging the items within.
1381
1382When the person finishes the exchange, they would go to the next round.
1383
1384Hei Lou Lan only needed a low grade pass to get to the 55th round, that would satisfy him. But Fang Yuan's goal was different.
1385
1386He needed high grade pass to enter the treasure room. Only within the treasure room can he be alone, to use the methods he had prepared to obtain the greatest benefits!
1387
1388"Low grade pass is easy as breathing. But middle and high grade, I do not know what are the conditions for those. I can only try now!"
1389
1390Thinking so, Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, and nodded at Hei Lou Lan, indicating for him to start.
1391
1392Hei Lou Lan took out a token and waved it at the sky.
1393
1394This token was different from the guest token, it was the the owner token. When Hei Lou Lan first entered Imperial Court blessed land, this token appeared before him, signifying his prestigious status.
1395
1396The owner token vibrated, as ripples formed in the air, dozens of fish enslavement Gu appeared, of rank one, two, and three.
1397
1398When Fang Yuan received these Gu worms, he easily refined them, the other people were immobilized by an invisible gentle force, no one could assist him.
1399
1400Only Hei Lou Lan could still speak, he advised: "Brother Shan Yin, mind the time. You have only fifteen minutes."
1401
1402Fang Yuan nodded, and waved his hand, as the fish enslavement Gu in his hand flew out with dozens of mystical lights.
1403
1404Everyone saw Fang Yuan's casual action and was shocked in their hearts.
1405
1406If it was Hei Qi Sheng, he would need to enslave them one by one, being extremely careful. When using enslavement Gu, the Gu Master would definitely face the resistance of the fish group. If they were careless, the enslavement would fail. If it was severe, the Gu Master would suffer some backlash on his soul.
1407
1408"Was Wolf King too overconfident?"
1409
1410"I've never seen such an enslavement method before!"
1411
1412"He's in troub…"
1413
1414Everyone's heart was pounding.
1415
1416But immediately after, they stared with huge eyes as the fish group swam away towards the island immediately after the enslavement. It was as if they belonged to Fang Yuan from the start, not a single enslavement failed.
1417
1418The water snake lions were alerted by this, they stopped their lazy actions and sat up, the lion head roared as the snake head hissed.
1419
1420Many of the water snake lions jumped into the water, setting up their defense lines.
1421
1422Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was standing upright, his arms behind his back as he did not waver at all. The enslavement attainment as well as foundation of the soul he displayed made almost everyone praise him in secret.
1423
1424"Oh heaven, he did it!"
1425
1426"Just this alone was an eye opener."
1427
1428"Wolf King is an enslavement master indeed, he is different from ordinary people."
1429
1430"A master is a master, maybe he can succeed this time, who knows."
1431
1432Everyone's eyes began to show a look of anticipation. Even Hei Lou Lan was looking with a hopeful expression.
1433
1434But the wish group did not attack the water snake lion group like they wished, instead they were swimming around the area, surveilling the place.
1435
1436"This… what is Wolf King thinking?"
1437
1438"Wolf King is being careful, it seems he is trying to get familiar with the fish's habits!"
1439
1440But as time passed, the fish continued to swim. Everyone did not get to see the fight between fish and lion as they wished.
1441
1442By now, even Hei Lou Lan was a bit anxious, he urged: "Brother Shan Yin, there isn't much time left."
1443
1444"No rush." Fang Yuan was calm as he replied casually.
1445
1446The water snake lions saw that the fish group did not attack, some of the water snake fish crawled out of the water, onto the island. The strong defense around the island weakened.
1447
1448After a moment, Hei Lou Lan urged again:" Brother Shan Yin, half the time has already passed!"
1449
1450"No rush." Fang Yuan waved his hand, his eyelids drooping, as if he was very sleepy.
1451
1452Even more water snake lions went onshore. The old lion king even sprawled on the ground, shutting its eyes in slumber.
1453
1454Everyone was greatly disappointed, they were cursing in their minds.
1455
1456"This Wolf King is merely strong on the outside, to think I thought so highly of him earlier!"
1457
1458"So what if he is a master level, this is True Yang Building…"
1459
1460"It seems that this time, Chang Shan Yin's goal is to get familiar with the fish group, to accumulate experience for the next assault!"
1461
1462Seeing that the time was going to be used up, everyone's remaining bit of hope was expended.
1463
1464"What a waste of a token, expended like this."
1465
1466"What shall I eat for dinner tonight?" 1
1467
1468"After failing this time, I wonder how lord tribe leader will deal with Chang Shan Yin?"
1469
1470Just as everyone were thinking about random things, Fang Yuan suddenly laughed, manipulating the fish group to charge, attacking the water snake lion group from all directions.
1471
1472"As expected!" Hei Lou Lan's eyes shone with brilliance.
1473
1474He had guessed in his heart already: "Chang Shan Yin wants to save his efforts for the next attempt, then this time, he would definitely familiarise himself with the fish group and their attacking pattern. He would also need to probe the strength of the lion group!"
1475
1476The fish group's sudden attack caught the water snake lion group off guard.
1477
1478The hedgehog fish group was like a hungry shark, devouring the small number of water snake lions in the water in an instant.
1479
1480"So that's it! Chang Shan Yin was training the fish group earlier while making the lion group let their guard down."
1481
1482"This attack has already taken down thirty percent of the lion group, as expected of master level!"
1483
1484"What breathtaking beast enslavement attainment, Hei Qi Sheng is like a baby compared to Chang Shan Yin."
1485
1486Everyone stared intently, shocked by Fang Yuan's amazing talent.
1487
1488Howl!
1489
1490Seeing that its subjects were being slaughtered, the old lion king roared, leading the lion group into the water to take revenge on the hedgehog fish.
1491
1492But what was peculiar was that Fang Yuan stopped his powerful assault, and under his manipulation, the fish group retreated.
1493
1494The lion group chased after him, but at when they got to one area, the group fell into chaos.
1495
1496"What happened?" Everyone was perplexed.
1497
1498"So there was a hidden whirlpool here!" Hei Lou Lan mumbled.
1499
1500Immediately after, the elders' eyes shone: "I get it! Wolf King was making the fish scout the area, it was not just to train them, he also wanted to investigate the terrain!"
1501
1502"That's right! When beast groups fight, it is like war between two armies. Not only would they need to consider both of the armies, they also need to care about the terrain." Many Gu Masters saw this and almost wanted to pat their legs and scream.
1503
1504The water snake lion group was trapped by the whirlpool, as the fish group turned around and attacked.
1505
1506The lions had huge bodies, they were more affected by the water currents. As for the fish group, they were barely affected by it due to their small size.
1507
1508An exceptional battle strategy unfolded before the crowd.
1509
1510The strong water snake lion group was as fragile as a piece of water. Under Fang Yuan's manipulation, the fish group was like an elite troop, they cooperated well and attacked and retreated at will, taking down their opponents one by one.
1511
1512The fish group gathered and spread at will, attacking fiercely. At times they scattered, causing the lions' attacks to miss.
1513
1514"He has them dancing in the palm of his hands!"
1515
1516"Amazing, incredible!! In just a dozen breaths' time, Wolf King became victorious!"
1517
1518"We got through, we got through!"
1519
1520Hei tribesmen were shocked and exhilarated, their gaze towards Fang Yuan revealed admiration, amazement, and fear etc.
1521
1522"Good, what a great Wolf King!" Hei Lou Lan laughed as he clapped.
1523
1524Fang Yuan also laughed heartily, because when he finished killing the lion group, an information went into his head — high grade evaluation!
1525
1526The next moment, Fang Yuan vanished on the spot.
1527
1528"What happened?" Hei tribesmen were shocked at this, their eyeballs also fell out.
1529
1530"He got a high grade evaluation!!" Only Hei Lou Lan was shouting in his heart.

1537Chapter 558: Giant Sun’s great scheme, treasure within the crystal ###
1538
1539Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
1540
1541
1542
1543
1544Fang Yuan was in a long crystal hallway.
1545
1546Light was flashing in all directions, the four walls were made of shiny crystals, one could see their own reflection in them.
1547
1548Fang Yuan gazed around, behind him, and to his left and right were walls, he could only move forward.
1549
1550"I am finally inside the treasure room." Fang Yuan's lips curled into a smile, as he walked forward with huge strides.
1551
1552The crystal hallway was long and clear, in about five steps, Fang Yuan saw that Gu worms or Gu recipes started appearing on the crystal walls to his left and right. They were like insects sealed in amber, motionlessly fixed in the crystal walls.
1553
1554These were all the precious treasures in the treasure room, to obtain them, he needed to exchange them with an equivalent item.
1555
1556"Oh? There's a Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus here." Fang Yuan halted his steps, he found a familiar looking Gu sealed in the crystal wall before him.
1557
1558This Gu was like a blue and white lotus, as large as a face. It had an amazing origin, it was created by Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable.
1559
1560They were a series, the rank three Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, the rank four Heavenly Essence Treasure Monarch Lotus, rank five Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, and rank six Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
1561
1562Among them, Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was ranked sixth among the top ten Immortal Gu, its value was equivalent to Spring Autumn Cicada, and was held in the hands of Lang Ya land spirit now.
1563
1564Fang Yuan had once used a Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, it made up for his lack of aptitude during that period, and was a huge help to him. But to advance the Gu, Fang Yuan lacked the relevant recipes, and the refinement cost was too huge, a natural spirit spring had to be used, and it had to be full of primeval energy as well. Old spirit springs that were running dry could not be used. Once he succeeds, the spirit spring would be destroyed.
1565
1566Rank four Heavenly Lotus needed seven spirit springs. Rank five needed nine. To reach rank six, it needed eleven.
1567
1568This sum was counted using southern border's level of spirit springs. If northern plains' spirit springs were used, he would need 60% more of them.
1569
1570Back then, it was too difficult for Fang Yuan to advance the Heavenly Lotus, and after his aptitude improved greatly, he gave up on the heavenly essence treasure lotus Gu.
1571
1572But now, he was moved by this rank five Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus.
1573
1574"The series of Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus are known as mobile spirit springs. Once refined, they can produce primeval essence naturally. There's no point in using the rank three Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus anymore, but the rank five Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus is suitable for my current condition."
1575
1576But to get his Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, Fang Yuan would need to exchange for it using an equivalent treasure according to the rules.
1577
1578"Let's exchange then." Fang Yuan was rather rich now, having a blessed land was like having the foundation of a Gu Immortal.
1579
1580To exchange for the Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, others might have to use all of their assets to get it, but for Fang Yuan, it was a question of what to give up.
1581
1582"What should I use for the exchange?"
1583
1584Fang Yuan's mind entered his two apertures.
1585
1586The strength and enslavement path Gu worms inside his apertures were not exchangeable. His first aperture's vital Gu Spring Autumn Cicada was the same.
1587
1588Other than them, there were still quite a lot of Gu worms in his possession.
1589
1590The individual value of these Gu worms were obviously lower than Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, but if one was insufficient, he could put two, or even three in.
1591
1592"Oh? Why are there eighteen spring egg Gu?"
1593
1594Fang Yuan was shocked to find a batch of precious rank five Gu inside his first aperture.
1595
1596But he quickly understood the reason: "I almost forgot, this is the reward for getting past the round with a high grade evaluation. It was directly sent into my aperture by True Yang Building."
1597
1598Normally, a Gu Master's aperture was the basis of their cultivation, it was their biggest secret. But True Yang Building was truly made by Old Hair Ancestor, with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's setup, it had great power and could directly send Gu worms into a Gu Master's aperture.
1599
1600Spring egg Gu was obviously inferior to Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, but it was still a rank five Gu.
1601
1602The spring egg Gu looked like a white goose egg, it could be obtained by killing a strong eggman emperor. Placing the spring egg Gu deep underground would give birth to a new spirit spring.
1603
1604Spirit springs were the foundation for Gu Masters' cultivation. Many large tribes or clans would collect spring egg Gu to strengthen their foundation, in case of need. Even Gu Immortals would often buy them and plant them inside the blessed land, forming a spirit spring and nourishing their inhabitants.
1605
1606Fang Yuan took out one spring egg Gu and looked at it.
1607
1608This Gu was not in good shape, the surface was full of cracks, and there were primeval essence traces inside the Gu, someone had used it before.
1609
1610Fang Yuan's eyes shone with brilliance, he sneered: "It seems that this Gu was snatched by the flying hand snow while it was activated. The rewards in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building are all of such sources."
1611
1612In order to fulfill his dream of 'hereditary monarchy', Giant Sun Immortal Venerable set up a huge scheme painstakingly while making sure his descendants had the upper hand.
1613
1614First was the Imperial Court contest, to weaken other tribes. Next, he used the ten year blizzard to send all sorts of treasures and materials from northern plains into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1615
1616After all, a Gu Master's cultivation was heavily reliant on resources.
1617
1618Giant Sun Immortal Venerable set up the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it was a fatal blow. After the resources were taken, he would give them to his bloodline descendants, destroying the hopes of success for other tribes.
1619
1620In Fang Yuan's previous five hundred years, central continent Gu Immortals attacked and destroyed Imperial Court Blessed Land using this specialty of the True Yang Building.
1621
1622They sent pawn pieces into Imperial Court Blessed Land. They then purposely scattered Gu worms and allowed the flying hand snow to take them. Eventually, True Yang Building faced destruction from the inside, causing a fatal loophole to appear.
1623
1624After central continent Gu Immortals destroyed Imperial Court Blessed Land, they exposed all of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's evil deeds, telling the whole world about his schemes, causing a huge commotion in northern plains as all the mortals went into a frenzy.
1625
1626But commotion aside, northern plains was still the second strongest region in terms of battle strength, only inferior to central continent. All sorts of super forces, Huang Jin family tribes worked together and caused northern plains to remain stable.
1627
1628After all, Huang Jin family had controlled northern plains for so many years, they had deep foundations and roots, it could not be easily shaken by public opinion.
1629
1630However much they reacted, without strength backing them, there was no point.
1631
1632Fang Yuan placed the spring egg Gu in his hand closer to the crystal wall, towards the wall that sealed the Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus.
1633
1634As it got closer to the crystal wall, there was a light red light, turning into orange, before finally glowing in yellow.
1635
1636After the three lights shone, there were no more changes.
1637
1638Fang Yuan took out another two spring egg Gu, placing them near the wall.
1639
1640This time, there was a green light shining. But the green light was not strong, it was suppressed by the other three lights.
1641
1642Fang Yuan sneered as he took out a fourth spring egg Gu, placing it at the crystal wall.
1643
1644This time, the green light burst out, being balanced with the other three colors.
1645
1646The crystal wall turned hollow as it vibrated. The Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus inside flew out slowly, while the four spring egg Gu in Fang Yuan's hands left his control and flew into the crystal wall, replacing the Heavenly Essence Treasure King lotus' position.
1647
1648The Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus landed in Fang Yuan's hands, and Fang Yuan instantly refined it using his primeval essence.
1649
1650Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was truly amazing, it allowed Gu Masters to instantly refine Gu inside the building.
1651
1652"Red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, black… it seems that inside this treasure room, there are eight categories. The more lights there are, the more valuable the treasure. Rank five Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus was only a green light item. This was only mid-tier among the range of treasures in this place."
1653
1654Fang Yuan evaluated in his heart as his assessment of the treasure room's value rose and his knowledge of it deepened.
1655
1656He stretched out his hand, touching the crystal wall.
1657
1658He could feel an icy feeling on his palm, inside, there were four spring egg Gu, the ones he had used for exchange.
1659
1660Fang Yuan tried to control them, but there was no effect.
1661
1662He sighed in amazement in his heart.
1663
1664To speak the truth, in this current world, Fang Yuan was easily among the top three people in terms of his understanding of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1665
1666That was because he had the detailed information given to him by Lang Ya land spirit.
1667
1668The more Fang Yuan's understanding of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building increased, the more he felt the genius mechanics of this building, it was really amazing.
1669
1670Forget the others, just look at this crystal wall ahead of him, it had a huge origin.
1671
1672This crystal wall was made back then by Long Hair Ancestor using tens of thousands of Gu Masters. Using a secret technique, he extracted their apertures. Using their aperture walls as the material, he used profound ice Gu, ice wall Gu, grand jade Gu, slow down Gu, vitality Gu, and others to refine it.
1673
1674This crystal wall was the best spot to seal Gu worms, the Gu inside would go into deep slumber, they could be stored for hundreds or thousands of years without the slightest harm.
1675
1676According to his information, a newly refined crystal wall would shine with ripples like that of a water surface, one would walk into it feeling like it was an illusory dream.
1677
1678But now, the crystal wall no longer had that glamor, but it was still crystal clear.
1679
1680With enough time, water could pierce through rock.
1681
1682The power of time was one of the most noble heavenly powers.
1683
1684Even a rank nine venerable could not defeat the power of time. Although True Yang Building was an Immortal Gu house, it opened every ten years, there was still some expenditure incurred.
1685
1686If not, during Fang Yuan's previous life, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would not have been taken down and destroyed.
1687
1688Right now, the luster of the crystal wall was no more, in fact, there was a thick layer of powder at the corner of the walls.
1689
1690Fang Yuan continued moving forward.
1691
1692In the crystal wall, there were all sorts of Gu worms, Gu recipes and special refinement materials sealed, but even more were the cultivation experiences of past generations of Gu Masters.
1693
1694These experiences were extremely precious. Those who could enter the treasure room were geniuses who passed with high grade evaluation, the things they left behind were definitely top quality.
1695
1696After walking for a little longer, Fang Yuan stopped his footsteps.
1697
1698The hallway ahead of him looked endless. But a stele was blocking Fang Yuan's path.
1699
1700The stele was squarish and smooth, it was about the height of Fang Yuan's knee. There were two words written in northern plains' script— guest halt!
1701
1702Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was set up by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, in consideration of his descendants. But those who entered the treasure room might not necessarily be Gu Masters who had the bloodline of Giant Sun.
1703
1704Giant Sun Immortal Venerable considered this point, and thus he placed the most precious resources behind the stele, outsiders like Chang Shan Yin could only watch helplessly.
1705
1706But Fang Yuan was not Chang Shan Yin.
1707
1708"Guest halt? Hmph." Fang Yuan laughed coldly in disdain.
1709
1710He tried walking past the stele, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
1711
1712"After so many years, although Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had some expenditure, the guest halt stele is still working properly, I cannot force my way through." After testing it for a while, Fang Yuan sat down facing the stele.
1713
1714He had planned this for so long, he was naturally well prepared.
1715
1716Immediately, he took out a Gu worm, and it shot into the stele.
1717
1718The first step to refining Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has started!
1719
1720#### *![ChibiGeneral][]* ChibiGeneral ####
1721
1722Technically Fang Yuan did stop, to refine the stele itself.

1726
1727Chapter 559: Immortal Venerable’s Will
1728
1729
1730
1731
1732Refining Eighty-Eight True Yang Building might sound like an absurd idea, but it was not wishful thinking.
1733
1734In truth, Fang Yuan was not the 'first person' to refine Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1735
1736In his former five hundred years, when central continent Gu Immortals attacked Imperial Court Blessed Land, they first sent some Gu Masters to infiltrate Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's treasure room.
1737
1738After they succeeded, they released the entire procedure after recording it with Gu worms, announcing it to the world.
1739
1740Imperial Court Blessed Land was the spiritual symbol for northern plains Gu Masters, it had great importance. The recording of Imperial Court Blessed Land being taken down was spread over the five regions, it not only displayed central continent's strength, it was also a poisonous needle intended to destroy northern plains Gu Masters' mental support!
1741
1742Most importantly, this recording also proved that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had snatched Gu worms all over northern plains, in order to benefit his descendants.
1743
1744Once the recording was released, northern plains was in huge turmoil, as the masses went into an uproar.
1745
1746Although the Huang Jin tribes suppressed the situation, and the internal chaos did not reach the level that central continent Gu Immortals hoped, it did create a northern plains where the people's hearts wavered and undercurrents were flowing.
1747
1748Central continent Gu Immortal Song Qie Xing, after seeing this video, gave an accurate prediction: "Once this video is spread all over the region, the spirit of freedom in northern plains would be released from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's prison!"
1749
1750Fang Yuan naturally had a vivid memory of this video.
1751
1752After his rebirth, he immediately realized the huge value of this video.
1753
1754For this trip to northern plains, saving Dang Hun mountain was merely one of his objectives.
1755
1756Fang Yuan was a careful person, he often considered failure before success.
1757
1758"How can there be something as good as 'success as one wishes' in this world? If I fail to save Dang Hun mountain, I can at least seek other forms of compensation inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building."
1759
1760The video of central continent Gu Immortals taking down Imperial Court Blessed Land had great reference value for Fang Yuan.
1761
1762But just this clip was not enough.
1763
1764Fang Yuan could only see what happened on the surface from this clip. But luckily, Fang Yuan had obtained first hand information from Lang Ya land spirit.
1765
1766Because of this, by fusing theory with practice, Fang Yuan had much greater confidence in refining Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1767
1768"With my current cultivation level, it is impossible to fully refine Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. But I can refine a portion of it."
1769
1770Fang Yuan was very clear of the reality.
1771
1772He was only a mortal Gu Master, one had to be at least a rank eight Gu Immortal to refine the Immortal Gu house.
1773
1774In Fang Yuan's plans, he only wanted to refine a portion of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1775
1776Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had existed for a very long time, it was worn down and had loopholes secretly. It was too grand, too majestic, like a giant wooden cage.
1777
1778Fang Yuan was like a termite compared to it.
1779
1780The strength of a termite could not destroy the entire wooden cage. But it could devour the edges, the difficulty of the two was as great as heaven and earth.
1781
1782The guest halt stele in front of him, after a specialized Gu worm entered it, gave off a faint yellow light.
1783
1784Fang Yuan stretched out his palms in the meantime, injecting his aperture's primeval essence into it.
1785
1786At the same time, his will entered the guest halt stele, following the primeval essence.
1787
1788Gu Masters refine Gu, it was to occupy the Gu worm's body with their will. And during this process, primeval essence was the perfect carrier.
1789
1790Fang Yuan's brows were tightly knotted as his mind entered the stele.
1791
1792The guest halt stele was only a portion of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1793
1794Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was a rank eight Immortal Gu house, it was way too big.
1795
1796Once Fang Yuan's will entered, he felt that he was in a sea of darkness.
1797
1798In this endless darkness, there was a sun-like existence. It gave off a weak light, which moved in waves like that of breathing.
1799
1800"This is Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will?" Fang Yuan's mind went into high alert.
1801
1802Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's property, since he refined it, his will was naturally inside the Immortal Gu.
1803
1804Although Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's body had perished long ago, this will that he injected had survived while slumbering within this shell.
1805
1806"Such a will is really grand, I feel like I am facing a real sun! Immortal Venerables have unthinkable strength, this is merely a small portion of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will, left behind and weakened after such a long time."
1807
1808"Thankfully, this will is currently unconscious, if I move carefully, it should not be alerted. I must not wake it up, otherwise, what happened to those two central continent Gu Immortals whose souls were dispersed in the video will happen to me."
1809
1810The vast dark space represents the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
1811
1812Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's remnant will was like the sun, in the center emitting a weak light as it slept.
1813
1814Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's will was like a sesame compared to it. He also gave off a weak light, but he was lurking at the furthest corner of the entire area.
1815
1816Fang Yuan continued to inject primeval essence, slowly and carefully.
1817
1818As the primeval essence entered the guest halt stele, the amount of his will that was inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building increased.
1819
1820In the dark corner, the light that represented Fang Yuan was expanding, gradually repelling a portion of the darkness, gaining some territory for itself.
1821
1822Time passed second by second.
1823
1824Fang Yuan was very careful, his forehead was soon full of sweat.
1825
1826"To think that refining this stele would be so difficult. With my two rank five peak stage apertures at ninety percent capacity, it was still not enough. If not for the Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, I might have faced even more trouble."
1827
1828Four hours passed, Fang Yuan finally breathed out a sigh as he pulled back his palms from the stele.
1829
1830He was extremely tired, mostly from the mental stress, it was more precarious than walking on a tightrope.
1831
1832"I finally succeeded."
1833
1834Fang Yuan looked at the guest halt stele before him, a sense of closeness emitted from the stele into the deep parts of his heart.
1835
1836But the joy of success quickly faded, as Fang Yuan frowned even more deeply.
1837
1838"There were indeed many deleted scenes in the video that was shown in my previous life. I spent so much primeval essence, but the Gu Master in the clip was only rank five middle stage, yet he did not take any breaks in the middle, only spending an hour to refine it."
1839
1840Maybe the Gu Master had some assistance Gu worms in his aperture, but Fang Yuan was more inclined to believe that there was more than meets the eye.
1841
1842The reason why central continent Gu Immortals released this video was to deal a crushing blow to the Huang Jin tribes, to release the spirit of freedom in other northern plains tribes.
1843
1844Deep into the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there were definitely gains or methods that could not be publicly shown.
1845
1846At the same time, to make the video more concise and interesting, so that people would watch it, the boring and mundane parts were definitely deleted, that had certainly happened.
1847
1848But this was bad news to Fang Yuan.
1849
1850Refining the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was a very dangerous act, if he was misled by the video, one mistake would end his life!
1851
1852"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is truly phenomenal, I spent so much time, but I have not even refined half a percent of it."
1853
1854Fang Yuan sighed as he patted the guest halt stele, standing up.
1855
1856If he looked at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building as a hundred percent, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's remnant will would occupy thirty percent of it.
1857
1858Out of a hundred percent, after refining the guest halt stele, Fang Yuan's refinement of the building was still less than half a percent.
1859
1860"But even so…" Fang Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
1861
1862He turned around, talking a few steps back and casually came to a crystal wall that had sealed some treasures.
1863
1864His gaze concentrated as he stretched out his arm towards the wall.
1865
1866If it was before, the crystal wall would be like an ice wall, blocking his hand. But now, the guest halt stele shone slightly, and the crystal wall turned hollow.
1867
1868Fang Yuan's arm successfully entered the wall like it had gone into a water wall, taking the treasure out from inside.
1869
1870Once he refined the guest halt stele, any treasure inside this section of the crystal wall could be taken out at will, Fang Yuan did not have to pay any price!
1871
1872"Oh? This must be the rush thunder stone…"
1873
1874Looking at the treasure in his hand, Fang Yuan had to appraise it carefully before confirming his guess.
1875
1876Rush thunder stone was quite a rare Gu refinement material. It was nearly extinct now, it was very rare even inside treasure yellow heaven, only sold once in a while.
1877
1878This stone was created from the essence of lightning and thunder when the thunder in the nine heavens exploded together.
1879
1880But ever since the immemorial era, seven of the nine heavens fell, only white and black heaven were left. The chances of these two heavens' thunder and lightning clashing were very low. Thus, after the immemorial era, the production of rush thunder stones fell drastically.
1881
1882When thunder path was flourishing, large numbers of rush thunder stones were used to refine Gu.
1883
1884Thus, the remaining stock of rush thunder stones now was low.
1885
1886"Heaven and earth is ever-changing, as time passed, thunder path also changed and no longer needed rush thunder stones. Only those Gu Masters or Gu Immortals who wanted to research immemorial thunder path Gu worms would be interested in rush thunder stones."
1887
1888The value of the treasure room was extremely high, just a casual treasure that Fang Yuan took was a rush thunder stone.
1889
1890But soon after, Fang Yuan returned the rush thunder stone back to the crystal wall.
1891
1892Small greed ruins big plans.
1893
1894Because exchange was needed to obtain treasures, the total treasure amount in the crystal walls was always the same.
1895
1896Every item here was recorded by all the super forces, or even large-sized Huang Jin tribes.
1897
1898If someone obtained high grade evaluation and came here later, they would find that treasures were missing, that would lead to great suspicion and shock!
1899
1900Fang Yuan felt no pity, after testing for a while, he walked towards the deeper parts of the crystal path.
1901
1902Arriving at the guest halt stele once again, his footsteps became slower.
1903
1904A few hours ago, the invisible wall that blocked him had vanished. But this did not mean that he could enter safely.
1905
1906Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was created by Long Hair Ancestor, it obviously had other defensive measures.
1907
1908But Fang Yuan was prepared for them.
1909
1910He willed and at once, five to six mystical Gu worms flew out of his aperture, turning into lumps of colorful smoke as they surrounded him.
1911
1912Fang Yuan checked again, and after ensuring that he was fully covered, he walked past the guest halt stele.
1913
1914Smoke of all colors rumbled as they formed into a flash of blood light, spreading out.
1915
1916Fang Yuan looked around, finding that the treasures in the crystal walls were better than the previous segment by a tier.
1917
1918"Oh? This is…"
1919
1920Fang Yuan's gaze froze for a second as he saw a rank five strength path Gu worm inside the crystal wall.
1921
1922He was overjoyed.
1923

1930
1931Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
1932
1933
1934
1935
1936Fang Yuan had just taken a step past the guest halt stele and a pleasant surprise welcomed him.
1937
1938A borrow strength Gu appeared in front of him.
1939
1940This was a rank five strength path Gu, it was almost completely extinct and was even more rare than all-out effort Gu. It could not be used by itself, but instead had to be used together with other Gu worms.
1941
1942When matched with sky strength Gu, it could allow the Gu Master to borrow the strength of the sky. When matched with earth strength Gu, the Gu Master could borrow the strength of the earth. With fire strength Gu, it allowed the Gu Master to borrow strength from fire. With water strength Gu, the Gu Master could take gain strength from water flow.
1943
1944"My killer move four arm wind king uses wind overlord Gu and tyrant strength Gu. The combination of these two Gu was a substitute for borrow strength Gu, but their effects are not even fifty percent of borrow strength Gu. With this borrow strength Gu, I can raise my killer move to a whole new level!" Fang Yuan was truly happy.
1945
1946Of course, borrow strength Gu still needed to be matched with other Gu worms.
1947
1948By now, sky strength Gu was already extinct. But earth strength Gu, fire strength Gu, water strength Gu, wind strength Gu and so on were still widely circulated.
1949
1950However, the usage of these Gu worms had already side-tracked from their original use.
1951
1952Earth strength Gu was now frequently used to raise the fertility of the soil to help the Gu Masters in agriculture, or was used together with wood path Gu. 
1953
1954Fire strength Gu was used by some fire path Gu Masters as a support Gu that could slightly increase the strength of fire path Gu worms. Water strength, wind strength, lightning strength and so on were also used similar.
1955
1956Fang Yuan approached the crystal wall and took out close to ten spring egg Gu to exchange for the borrow strength Gu.
1957
1958Past the guest halt stele, he could only exchange for the treasures he wanted.
1959
1960Fang Yuan continued to walk forward.
1961
1962The treasures in the crystal wall here were clearly a level or two higher than before.
1963
1964Meteor rain Gu, star lightning speed Gu, wind fog hair Gu, stellar fire prairie Gu, water curtain skyflower Gu…
1965
1966Rank five Gu which were extremely rare in the outside world could be seen everywhere here. Instead, it was rank four Gu that were very rare in here. But any rank four Gu that appeared here were bound to be very rare and precious among the rank four Gu, their value and strength comparable to common rank five Gu.
1967
1968Fang Yuan's gaze swept through the treasures, the blood flame light covering him was wearing down non-stop.
1969
1970This blood flame light was a barrier protecting him. Once it completely disappeared, he would be detected by Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and be eradicated instantly.
1971
1972"Before this protection disappears, I need to find that owner token!"
1973
1974As time passed, Fang Yuan gradually started to feel anxious.
1975
1976These Gu he used to disguise his identity and deceive Eighty-Eight True Yang Building were not easy to refine, moreover the costs in refining them were considerable. One of the main material was a thousand jin of Huang Jin family blood which required ninety-eight long steps of purification.
1977
1978Now, Imperial Court contest had already ended; it was even more difficult for Fang Yuan to get these blood in large amounts.
1979
1980What was even worse was a fork actually appeared in this long crystal corridor!
1981
1982Fang Yuan could not help stopping to think about it carefully.
1983
1984Which path was the one he needed to take?
1985
1986At this moment, the image of the central continent Gu Immortals attacking Imperial Court blessed land in the previous life became a great help to Fang Yuan.
1987
1988He chose the left path and moved rapidly through it.
1989
1990Here, the treasures that appeared in the crystal wall were of a level higher in their worth. There were only rank five Gu with no more rank four Gu to be found, and at the same time, there were rare rank five Gu as well.
1991
1992Fang Yuan quickly walked forward while sweeping his gaze over the treasures, suddenly his gaze stopped: "Found it!"
1993
1994An owner token was sealed in the crystal wall, just at the knee height of Fang Yuan.
1995
1996This owner token was the doing of central continent Gu Immortals.
1997
1998A tall tree attracts the wind; Imperial Court blessed land had existed tall till now which had already attracted the attention of Gu Immortals of all regions. Central continent Gu Immortals had begun their plan hundreds of years ago.
1999
2000The owner token was generally held by the alliance leader and would self-destruct once it left Imperial Court blessed land.
2001
2002Close to a millennium ago, central continent Gu Immortals spent a lot of effort to scheme from the dark, not only did they bribe that time's alliance leader, it is rumored that they also used an Immortal Gu.
2003
2004Using the power of the Immortal Gu, they tampered with the owner token which then hid inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, becoming a key for the future, waiting for the opportunity to use it.
2005
2006In Fang Yuan's past life, central continent Gu Immortals first started the five regions battle and were able to create the opportunity not long after, finally breaching Imperial Court blessed land.
2007
2008Imperial Court blessed land was an arrangement set by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, breaching this place was much more difficult than breaching other blessed lands.
2009
2010But Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already passed away while central continent Gu Immortals had painstakingly brewed their scheme for close to a millennium, achieving some success in the end.
2011
2012However, in this life, this owner token landed in Fang Yuan's hand.
2013
2014The process of exchanging for this owner token was extremely smooth. But it would not be easy to make the token usable for him.
2015
2016This was the final, crucial step.
2017
2018Fang Yuan's expression turned solemn as he sat cross-legged on the ground and concentrated.
2019
2020Gu worms after Gu worms moved at his will and struck the owner token non-stop.
2021
2022Ding ding ding…
2023
2024A pleasant music sounded from the collision, and the owner token gradually floated into the air. Every strike would create a layer of halo over the owner token.
2025
2026When it was covered with thirty-eight halo, the dull color on its surface suddenly dispersed and revealed the words - 'owner token'.
2027
2028The halo then started to burst like air bubbles.
2029
2030The owner token lost its buoyancy and fell down, and was immediately caught by Fang Yuan.
2031
2032He quickly bit his finger and let the blood drip onto the owner token.
2033
2034The moment his blood seeped into the owner token, the metallic token suddenly became a translucent glass. Fang Yuan had seen Hei Lou Lan's owner token and was able to immediately be aware that there was a great difference between his token and the original owner token.
2035
2036"The methods I used just now was in reference to my past life's video, awakening the true appearance of this owner token. It seems this is very possibly the strength of an Immortal Gu and also, only Immortal Gu can tamper with owner token while avoiding the detection of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building." Fang Yuan looked at the glass owner token and sank into contemplation.
2037
2038After a dozen or so breaths, the blood flame light covering him thoroughly dispersed.
2039
2040The world seemed to have gone mute at this moment as Fang Yuan could clearly hear his heartbeats.
2041
2042"Safe and sound." The sound of his heartbeats gradually disappeared, Fang Yuan slowly stood up and let out a breath of turbid air.
2043
2044"Success." He mumbled while clenching his left fist in excitement, but he found his voice was somewhat hoarse. At the same time, his whole body was soaked with sweat and he felt some dizziness.
2045
2046Truly activating this owner token and making it recognize him was not easy at all. It was even more difficult than refining a rank five Gu.
2047
2048If there was even a slight mistake, it might have very well been impossible to reprieve.
2049
2050Fang Yuan endured the enormous mental pressure and finally succeeded.
2051
2052"Now, as long as I hold the glass owner token, I can freely enter the treasure room. There is no need for any high grade evaluation!"
2053
2054Holding the owner token was equivalent to being in control of a small part of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2055
2056Fang Yuan tested the owner token and almost instantly, Hei Lou Lan's group's figures appeared in his mind.
2057
2058After crossing the fifty-fourth round, they had already charged to sixty-first round. Right now, they were having a fierce fight with a golden-white tiger phantom.
2059
2060A true golden-white tiger was a desolate beast level existence. 
2061
2062The golden-white tiger phantom possessed the aura of a desolate beast and was pressing down Hei Lou Lan's group.
2063
2064Hei Lou Lan had numbers on his side, but their defeat was imminent.
2065
2066Fang Yuan looked closely for a while and inwardly commented: 'If there is no accident, Hei Lou Lan and his group will only be able to last for less than forty-five minutes, before they have to retreat. I don't have a lot of time!"
2067
2068Although Fang Yuan entered the treasure room, as long as the possessor of the owner token walked out of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he would also have to leave.
2069
2070Fang Yuan might have the glass owner token now, and could stay or leave according to his will. But it was not good to expose it at present.
2071
2072"Just the glass owner token is still far from enough. I still need to find that loophole and completely blow it up; this will create a great hole in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and I will then be able to freely take away the treasures in the crystal wall."
2073
2074The glass owner token shook slightly, and the next moment, Fang Yuan disappeared on the spot.
2075
2076"This should be the central control room!"
2077
2078When Fang Yuan opened his eyes, he had arrived at a secret room.
2079
2080The secret room was round with its walls flickering with starlight, and a white jade round table on the center. There was an exquisite model of the whole Imperial Court blessed land on the round table, just like a military sand table.
2081
2082Not only did it depict mountains and rivers and the sacred palace at the center, even the small towers in the blessed land were clearly visible.
2083
2084Fang Yuan sent out a Gu worm which flew to air and turned into black smoke that fell down to the sand table.
2085
2086The sand table was contaminated by the black smoke and rapidly turned into black color.
2087
2088The black color gradually condensed, forming into a large patch of sticky liquid that slowly flowed on the sand table.
2089
2090Fang Yuan looked at a spot where the black liquid had formed a funnel shape and as if there was a hole below, the surrounding black liquid was slowly entering it.
2091
2092"Found it, this is that hole! Now, I just need to enlarge this hole and refine the glass owner token into a one-edge owner token. With a one-edge owner token, I can even control a floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building at will! Eh?"
2093
2094Right at this time, Fang Yuan's movements paused as his eyes rigidly stared at the hole on the sand table.
2095
2096The whole sand table was covered by the thick black oil like sticky liquid, thus Fang Yuan had not been able to see immediately. But now that he had looked for a while, he suddenly discovered this hole was none other than Di Qiu inheritance site!
2097
2098"What is going on here? Could it be Di Qiu inheritance is also a concealed move set up by central continent Gu Immortals before like the glass owner token?!"
2099
2100Fang Yuan was shocked.
2101
2102But he quickly calmed down and became aware of the shortcomings to this assumption.
2103
2104"No, wrong. If this was a concealed move prepared to breach the blessed land, then how do I explain that cipher and the clues from the grey-white stone slab? These clues are clearly the clues to the inheritance."
2105
2106Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with bright light.
2107
2108Right now, the scene in his previous life could not give him any help.
2109
2110"Could it be that central continent Gu Immortals also discovered this inheritance, but they could not decipher the secret phrase and so are using the inheritance this way? No, this is wrong too. Thinking from their side, if they discovered this inheritance which very likely contained an Immortal Gu, they would definitely be moved. If that is so, then that means that they did not obtain any clues to the inheritance but only discovered this hole?"
2111
2112"Of course, there is also another possibility that they were not able to decipher the secret of the inheritance, but as breaching the blessed land was an important matter, they chose to break this hole in the end. But if so, Di Qiu inheritance would also be destroyed!"
2113
2114Fang Yuan thought of this and that, feeling the existence of these two probabilities. But he did not have conclusive evidence now so he could not confirm them.
2115
2116He hesitated.
2117
2118In case he used the methods in his previous life's scene and burst open this hole, then Di Qiu inheritance would definitely be destroyed.
2119
2120But if he did not do so and chose to preserve Di Qiu inheritance, his plans for Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would stop here.
2121
2122"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's worth is much higher than Di Qiu inheritance. This is hopeless, I can only abandon Di Qiu inheritance. But the person who made this arrangement is really amazing, to actually be able to tamper with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangement… hmm? Wait a second!"
2123
2124Fang Yuan's mind suddenly shook as he thought of an extremely crucial problem!

2132
2133
2134
2135
2136This was a very obvious problem, but normal people would easily overlook it.
2137
2138Why did this mysterious Gu Immortal go through such great trouble, brave enormous risk, tamper with and use Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangement to set up their inheritance?
2139
2140"Thinking from their perspective, if I was this Gu Immortal, why would I insist on digging out Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's loophole to set up my inheritance? I could set up one by myself perfectly by just spending a little effort!"
2141
2142"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is a rank eight Immortal Gu house and was personally arranged by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. There was truly an enormous risk in using its loophole. If I wanted to wholeheartedly leave behind an inheritance, there would be absolutely no need to go so far and intentionally take risks. Unless…"
2143
2144Fang Yuan's eyelids drooped as a cold light flashed quickly past his dark pupils.
2145
2146"Unless — the inheritance required such an arrangement!"
2147
2148The moment he thought of this, the fog in Fang Yuan's mind seemed to be pushed aside by two large hands.
2149
2150Humans always have objectives in doing things.
2151
2152Only an enormous objective could make a Gu Immortal take such huge risks!
2153
2154Maybe this Gu Immortal did not like Giant Sun Immortal Venerable or had hatred against him. But Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already passed away for countless years, so this possibility was close to zero.
2155
2156Removing the factor of emotions, then there was only the factor of benefits.
2157
2158"For this benefit, the mysterious Gu Immortal was willing to brave the fatal danger of messing with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangement. What in the world did they intend to use Eighty-Eight True Yang Building for?"
2159
2160Fang Yuan involuntarily thought of the information Lang Ya land spirit gave him.
2161
2162He had already studied this information hundreds and thousands of times. Even on the day before the large battle of the Imperial Court contest, he had been studying non-stop.
2163
2164Even after reading so many times, every time he read it again or recalled it, he could not help having a feeling of admiration.
2165
2166Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was indeed of exquisite workmanship, its design was spectacular.
2167
2168This was a fantasy turned into reality, it was a miracle!
2169
2170Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was essentially an Immortal Gu house.
2171
2172Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable made plans for his descendants and took the initiative to find Long Hair Ancestor, requesting him to refine an everlasting inheritance treasure.
2173
2174Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's demand was too great, and as such Long Hair Ancestor had to rack his brains and think painstakingly for a hundred or so days to meet the standard.
2175
2176One day, he suddenly had an inspiration and took an alternate way, coming up with a unique method.
2177
2178The Immortal Gu house was truly overly enormous. Long Hair Ancestor could only settle for the second best option, and divide it into countless sub-bodies which were the small towers.
2179
2180The quantity of these small towers reached untold numbers and attracted wild Gu worms for ten years.
2181
2182As the ten year period neared its end, they would sink one after another, sacrificing the wild Gu inside and simultaneously resonate with the blizzard outside to form a heavenly power.
2183
2184The heavenly power condensed bit by bit to generate a qualitative change, condensing into a floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2185
2186As layers and layers formed, they would finally become the complete Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
2187
2188From a different perspective: every time Eighty-Eight True Yang Building formed, it was the process of a new refinement.
2189
2190Long Hair Ancestor was indeed worthy of being known as the number one refinement path immortal of all times, his Gu refinement attainment had already crossed the realm of mortal into a realm of divinity. It was already not easy for ordinary Gu Masters to refine a Gu successfully. It was the same for Gu Immortals as well when they refine Immortal Gu.
2191
2192But Long Hair Ancestor had already surpassed the limits of the normal Gu refinement to a level of perfection.
2193
2194So did Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's refinement succeed?
2195
2196In truth, the refinement was not a complete success.
2197
2198If a general standard was applied, the truly complete Eighty-Eight True Yang Building would be a tower that would exist for eternity in the blessed land, towering over the sacred palace.
2199
2200However, this standard was too difficult to fulfill.
2201
2202Back when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had mentioned it, Long Hair Ancestor's brows had furrowed deeply and had immediately said: If the refinement truly succeeds, then this Immortal Gu house would be at rank nine realm!
2203
2204What was the meaning of a rank nine Immortal Gu?
2205
2206The Gu in legends like strength Gu, wisdom Gu, fate Gu and so on were all rank nine Immortal Gu. These Immortal Gu were priceless even among the priceless and had already vanished, their radiance only being revered in <>.
2207
2208Just like rank nine Gu Immortals who were given the title of 'venerable'; throughout the boundless history, only ten of them appeared.
2209
2210There had never been a rank nine realm Immortal Gu house, but Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not give up on his request.
2211
2212Long Hair Ancestor could only agree to the request, fearing the might of an Immortal Venerable.
2213
2214Finally, he thought of a solution that was not a solution, to create a 'rank nine Immortal Gu house that could only exist for a short period of time' — thus, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building ended up being at rank eight realm.
2215
2216Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had not been pleased with it, but his attitude changed after inspecting it, and was full of praise as he said: Eighty-Eight True Yang Building itself holds the secret of a mortal becoming a Gu Immortal!
2217
2218Why did he say that?
2219
2220The reason was that a mortal had to cross over the hurdle of the three elements to become a Gu Immortal.
2221
2222Element of heaven. Heaven above, with immeasurable might, mysterious and mighty.
2223
2224Element of earth. Earth below, virtuous, stable and profound.
2225
2226Element of man. Man in the center, the spirit of all beings, exerting oneself to soar above.
2227
2228Mortal were like tiny insects, and only by connecting with heaven and earth, could they be free of their mortal state and make themselves go through a fundamental evolution.
2229
2230And Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's formation made use of these three elements.
2231
2232The Imperial Court contest was to spread the element of man. The ten year blizzard was a cruel and vicious element of heaven. The small towers sinking into the ground were borrowing the blessed land's element of earth.
2233
2234The three elements combine into one, and a mortal becomes an immortal.
2235
2236The three elements combined to form Eighty-Eight True Yang Building that plundered northern plains' resources to give rise to Huang Jin family's super tribes, and allowed Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's influence to be inextinguishable for countless years.
2237
2238"Wait a moment, don't tell me?!"
2239
2240Fang Yuan's body shook slightly as a bright light blossomed in his eyes.
2241
2242"The small towers are a part of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the mysterious Gu Immortal who set up Di Qiu inheritance broke this small tower and created a hole."
2243
2244"When the hole formed, according to the principle of the refinement of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, there should be a backflow of heavenly power to condense into a new small tower."
2245
2246Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was a rank eight Immortal Gu house and was very difficult to destroy. But the small towers could be easily destroyed, this was like the difference between a Gu Immortal and mortals. Thus, when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable arranged these small towers in the blessed land, he used the strength of Imperial Court blessed land to protect them tightly and isolate them from most sources of damage.
2247
2248Long Hair Ancestor was the number one immortal in refinement path, so he naturally had considered the situation of the small towers being destroyed. Thus, every ten years, during the time of the formation of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's main body, the condensed heavenly power would first flow back to repair the gaps in the small towers before condensing into the main body.
2249
2250However!
2251
2252"Di Qiu inheritance had already been set up for many years, but the small tower over it has still not been repaired. Moreover, this mysterious Gu Immortal used some method to seal up this gap and deceive Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. I understand now, the reason they did this should be none other than to make use of the heavenly power that condenses into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
2253
2254"Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow… it seems this secret phrase is the method of Gu refinement!"
2255
2256In fact, Fang Yuan had guessed this before.
2257
2258However, he did not have conclusive evidence back then.
2259
2260Now, although it was still a guess, but after testing and probing it, Fang Yuan was much more confident.
2261
2262Time always seemed to move faster when one was pondering deeply.
2263
2264Hei Lou Lan and his group were defeated by the golden-white tiger phantom, and were sent out of the tower. To not attract any suspicion, Fang Yuan could only use the glass owner token to get out of the tower.
2265
2266A group of people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the first floor of the tower.
2267
2268"They have appeared, the lords have returned!"
2269
2270"Subordinate greets lord tribe leader and all the lords."
2271
2272The guards sitting there, who were of Hei tribe's direct line of descent, immediately came forward to greet.
2273
2274Hei Lou Lan and the group all looked battered and exhausted or were covered in blood.
2275
2276Although they had failed, they had made much progress and gains as they were even able to push forward for over ten rounds.
2277
2278However, the situation this time was special, Hei Lou Lan and others' gazes landed on Fang Yuan, revealing the intent of probing, curiosity, doubts and investigating.
2279
2280"Hahaha, everyone worked hard and contributed highly for this expedition, especially Wolf King who can be said to be the number one in contribution this time. After returning, organize a banquet immediately, we will celebrate for three days!" Hei Lou Lan laughed loudly and lightly patted Fang Yuan's shoulder, showing off their close relationship.
2281
2282High grade evaluation made Fang Yuan's worth rise by another level in his heart.
2283
2284"I gained some insight from this trip, I need to undergo closed cultivation to consolidate them. I hope Lord Hei Lou Lan would not blame me." Fang Yuan lightly smiled and directly turned down Hei Lou Lan.
2285
2286Hei Lou Lan's smile froze before immediately recovering the next moment and said it was not a problem, showing the disposition of a magnanimous leader.
2287
2288As for how furious he was inwardly, or how much the others were envious, Fang Yuan did not care. He wanted to return now to study the secrets of Di Qiu inheritance meticulously.
2289
2290Six days later.
2291
2292Fang Yuan pushed open the window and looked down at the sacred palace, his eyes flashing with a light of joy.
2293
2294He had fully solved the secret of Di Qiu inheritance.
2295
2296One only required a correct direction for such riddles and it would only be a matter of time.
2297
2298Just as Fang Yuan guessed before, the cipher was a recipe for refining Immortal Gu.
2299
2300The mysterious Gu Immortal who arranged the inheritance used the loophole of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, borrowing the power which would condense into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to refine an Immortal Gu.
2301
2302As long as one followed the words of the secret phrase and refined the Gu step by step, even a mortal Gu Master could refine it successfully.
2303
2304It was because the Immortal Gu refinement was not relying on the mortal Gu Master's power, but was borrowing from the strength of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2305
2306But as for what this Immortal Gu was, Fang Yuan did not know and could only make conjectures from the secret phrase.
2307
2308"This Gu Immortal should very likely be from central continent. The Gu refinement method is filled with central continent's style. And adding on my previous life's video, this inheritance should be in the form of a chain and what I obtained was likely only a part of it." Fang Yuan estimated in his heart.
2309
2310In Fang Yuan's past life, central continent Gu Immortals planned to use this loophole to breach Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. They should have discovered some preceding clue to this inheritance.
2311
2312This was not strange.
2313
2314Many Gu Masters, when setting inheritances, would arrange them step by step, and leave behind clues after clues. If the fated ones had enough ability, they could inherit the whole inheritance. If their ability was not up to par, they could only receive a part of the benefits.
2315
2316Central continent Gu Immortals should have obtained the preceding clues to this inheritance and should not have known the latter part of the secret phrase.
2317
2318Otherwise, they definitely would not waste the chance of obtaining an Immortal Gu.
2319
2320And what Fang Yuan accidentally obtained was only the latter part. Without the preceding clues, it became extremely incomprehensible. If not for Fang Yuan having the intel of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and his previous life's memories, he would not have been able to comprehend it even if he was given ample time.
2321
2322ChibiGeneral ChibiGeneral It still sounds like gibberish to me.

2332--------------------
2333
2334"Speaking of it, this central continent Gu Immortal is truly amazing, seeing through Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's hole and also using such an idea. Clearly, they were also a refinement path master… no, to reach this step, they have to be at least a grandmaster in refinement path!"
2335
2336"They actually left behind an Immortal Gu as an inheritance. This is truly an immortal treasure! They put the clue in fake grey-white stone slabs, such creativity and innovation was really amazing. I wonder what kind of successor they want to choose…"
2337
2338The most crucial problem of the secret phrase was resolved, but even more questions popped out.
2339
2340Fang Yuan shook his head and cleared up his disorganized thoughts.
2341
2342"No matter what, this inheritance is related to an Immortal Gu, I need to give it a try with all my effort. Now, it should take over half a month at least to prepare the relevant Gu worms…"
2343
2344Light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow — these four phrases might be simple, but Fang Yuan would not have been able to decipher them without his refinement path master attainment.
2345
2346Based on Fang Yuan's current comprehension, he needed over two hundred Gu worms to borrow the force of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and refine the mysterious Immortal Gu; among them were twenty-eight rank four and rank five Gu worms.
2347
2348And this number was only enough for one use.
2349
2350Fang Yuan, in preparing the Gu refinement, would have to make at least three times the preparatory materials to prevent any errors during the Gu refinement process which could lead to failure. And in case he failed, he would require spare Gu worms.
2351
2352Sixteen days later.
2353
2354In the hall, Hei Lou Lan showed the demeanor of the 'Black Tyrant' to the fullest, shouting fiercely and wantonly venting out the anger in his heart.
2355
2356The elders who were scolded and even beaten by Hei Lou Lan could not raise their heads and were quiet out of fear.
2357
2358Ever since Hei Lou Lan entered Imperial Court blessed land, his temper had been getting increasingly violent. After Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opened, this change intensified and his temper became like a barrel of gunpowder, berating and beating his subordinates at the slightest pretext. As of today, there were already three Hei tribe elders who were heavily beaten by him and were still bedridden.
2359
2360"Lord tribe leader, it is not us slacking in our duty, but this seventy-eighth round is truly too difficult. The golden-white tiger phantom guardian is too strong and has thirty percent of the desolate beast's powers. With our mortal bodies, no matter how much we try, we can only harass it and have no way to harm it heavily. Moreover, if the golden-white tiger goes on the offense, our Gu Masters would not be able to resist it."
2361
2362Hei Pei, the head of the elders, waited for Hei Lou Lan to finish venting his anger, before cautiously speaking.
2363
2364Hei Lou Lan glanced at him and cursed: "Your words are bullshit! Golden-white tiger phantom might have strong attacking prowess, but as long as we all unite and disregard the sacrifices, we can definitely defeat it before the time limit! You guys are all afraid of difficulties, tarnishing my Hei tribe's reputation of bravery!"
2365
2366The elders shrunk their heads after being scolded, not daring to say anything.
2367
2368Hei Lou Lan's words were actually not without reason.
2369
2370It was already not the first time in dealing with the golden-white tiger phantom.
2371
2372If they truly disregarded sacrifices, and people were willing to be cannon fodder and fought to give others an opportunity, even at the cost of their own lives under the claws of the golden-white tiger phantom, then Hei tribe's offense, although powerless, would accumulate with time, and could be like groups of ants biting an elephant, eventually defeating the golden-white tiger phantom.
2373
2374But the truth of the matter was when the golden-white tiger phantom attacked, everyone feared for their life and was afraid of going forward, causing Hei Lou Lan's advancement in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to stop at this round, unable to progress any further.
2375
2376Hei Lou Lan's shouts kept on resounding in the hall.
2377
2378Right now, no one dared to antagonize this furious Black Tyrant who did not spare even his tribesmen.
2379
2380After Hei Lou Lan vented his anger once more, he sat down on the main seat with a gloomy expression.
2381
2382His heart was filled with pent-up fury, especially when he looked at these silent elders, he felt sick to his stomach.
2383
2384Besides anger, he felt helplessness.
2385
2386During the Imperial Court contest, these Hei tribe elders had fought bravely and had no fear. But in this place, they were worried for their safety, where did their courage go?
2387
2388Actually, Hei Lou Lan understood.
2389
2390During the Imperial Court contest, rewards and punishments were openly issued; people fought to be the first, competing for fame and fortune, to be stronger and to survive.
2391
2392However, in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the rewards for passing the stages would go to the tribe leader which caused everyone to have very little incentive to charge through the rounds.
2393
2394The most important reason was that they had already won the Imperial Court contest and there were no more threats to their survival, and there were also many inheritances outside the sacred palace. As long as they survived this period of time, they were bound to have an even more radiant future when they exited Imperial Court blessed land.
2395
2396Only fools would do things like abandoning their lives and acting as cannon fodder to help someone else!
2397
2398Hei tribe's elders were all extremely crafty.
2399
2400Preserving their lives was most important, and besides that, so what if they were scolded and beaten by Hei Lou Lan? Even if Hei Lou Lan heavily injured them and they had to lie on the bed, it was nothing compared to dying.
2401
2402Hei Lou Lan was aware of the elders' thoughts.
2403
2404'Even if I am a rank five expert, I cannot control their will. Once there is no unity, it will not be easy to lead even if the tribe is stronger. Never mind…'
2405
2406Hei Lou Lan sighed inwardly and spoke: "Since it is so, then I can only open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and gather everyone's strength to charge through the rounds."
2407
2408Requesting outside help required guest tokens.
2409
2410But right now, besides Hei tribe, there were also other Huang Jin tribes like Ye Lui tribe, Ma tribe and so on in Imperial Court blessed land.
2411
2412One could imagine that once Hei Lou Lan opens up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to them, these people would definitely charge forward madly. With this, they could be the cannon fodder.
2413
2414After hearing Hei Lou Lan's words, the elders exchanged veiled communication with each other through their gazes. This method allowed them to stay away from the vanguard position, but they were somewhat unwilling.
2415
2416The first elder Hei Pei stepped forward: "Lord tribe leader, this is a clever method but we need to keep up our guard. These people might have the old ancestor's bloodline running through them, but they are not of our Hei tribe. When they pass the rounds and get the benefits, I am afraid they won't hand over anything."
2417
2418"That's right, lord." Elder Hei Qi Sheng also added, "Our Hei tribe racked our brains and suffered great difficulties before we were able to emerge as the winner in this time's Imperial Court contest. This Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is ours, why should we share it with outsiders?"
2419
2420"There are precedents of such actions, but when looking at history, those were all weak tribes who won by fluke and did not have the ability to get through the stages, so they had no choice but to mobilize other Huang Jin tribes. Our Hei tribe is strong and has many competent experts, how can we seek other's help?"
2421
2422"Hmph!" Hei Lou Lan raised his brows, "Since our troops are strong, why are we not able to challenge even one golden-white tiger phantom? You group of dogshit trash, only cherishing your lives dearly, but when I want to bring in outsiders to stake their lives for us, you are afraid of them taking the benefits? Do you think there is such a good thing in this world?"
2423
2424Different from these elders, Hei Lou Lan was already feeling very anxious.
2425
2426He was the possessor of Great Strength True Martial physique and must obtain a strength path Immortal Gu to advance to Gu Immortal.
2427
2428Only by becoming an immortal, could he alleviate this threat to his life.
2429
2430However, whether Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had any strength path Immortal Gu or which floor the strength path Immortal Gu was on, both were unknown.
2431
2432As such, he wholeheartedly wanted to break the conventions and bring in the situation where the Huang Jin tribes cooperate to get through the rounds. Each round he passed would allow the owner token with him to advance and make it more convenient to proceed onwards.
2433
2434Although they were defeated repeatedly at this round, Hei Lou Lan thought of it as a good opportunity.
2435
2436He took the chance to create difficulty and shouted once again.
2437
2438His furious shouts resounded in the hall, causing everyone's ears to hear buzzing.
2439
2440Due to Hei Lou Lan's might and terrifying reputation, the elders could only choose to compromise.
2441
2442The first elder Hei Pei said with worry: "Opening Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to others is like letting in a torrent, once its momentum increases, it will definitely cause disastrous losses. I suggest we place some limits. Wolf King Chang Shan Yin was a lesson that is right before us."
2443
2444These words immediately caused an intense commotion among the elders.
2445
2446Someone said with a bitter tone: "Right, Wolf King is really a hoodlum, he is hogging the benefits all to himself. Right now, he is in closed-door cultivation, maybe inwardly laughing to himself!"
2447
2448Someone scoffed with disdain: "Eighty-Eight True Yang Building belongs to Hei tribe, we let him participate to tackle the round because we thought highly of him. But he repays us like this, hmph, what dogshit northern plains hero, he is just an ungrateful thief!"
2449
2450Someone said with a cold and gloomy gaze: "In my opinion, when we open up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building this time, we should not bring Chang Shan Yin in. This will teach him a lesson!"
2451
2452Hei Lou Lan coldly snorted, he was naturally greatly dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's behavior. If it was someone else, he would have already taken action.
2453
2454But Chang Shan Yin was not a measly character, his bearing in the decisive battle of the Imperial Court contest was still deeply engraved in Hei Lou Lan's mind.
2455
2456If he said he was not afraid, he would be lying.
2457
2458However, openly excluding Chang Shan Yin was not appropriate as well. Not only would that be a display of narrow-mindedness, in case Wolf King was offended, even if Chang Shan Yin did not make a move, he still had the azure wolf group.
2459
2460"First elder Hei Pei, since you mentioned this, then let's hear it." Hei Lou Lan spoke.
2461
2462Hei Pei slightly smiled and said with confidence: "There is no problem in opening Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to the outside from tomorrow. But before entering the building, no matter who it is, they would need to pay a fee. There will only be a quota of eight hundred entrants every day and the fee for entrance will increase according to the order of the entrants. At the same time, they must use poison vow Gu and agree to give fifty percent of all their gains to Hei tribe."
2463
2464He paused before continuing: "As for outsiders that want to enter the tower, they need to pay a high price to purchase our guest tokens!"
2465
2466Every elder present at the scene immediately had bright gazes as they praised this suggestion.
2467
2468Hei Lou Lan swept over the scene once before leaning back on his chair, slowly closing his eyes: "Alright, this matter shall be done as Hei Pei says."
2469
2470Hei Pei was exulted: "Lord tribe leader is wise and powerful, thank you lord tribe leader for your appreciation."
2471
2472The news of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opening to the outside spread and immediately caused a huge sensation in the sacred palace.
2473
2474Countless people rushed to the place of registration; one side cursed Hei tribesmen for their ruthlessness in asking such a greatly high fee, while another side paid generously and even fought others for a quota to enter.
2475
2476Fang Yuan observed indifferently, but he was inwardly happy.
2477
2478Right now, inheriting Di Qiu inheritance was of the utmost priority to him.
2479
2480Even if Hei Lou Lan took the initiative to invite him, he would not have been very willing. While the others had their attentions on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building now, it was the perfect time for him to make his move on the inheritance!

2486
2487
2488
2489
2490The night sky of Imperial Court blessed land was covered in silvery light, like silk or fog, it shone down on the land like a vast veil.
2491
2492A group of azure wolves were running freely in the sky, chasing birds in the air or hunting animals on the ground. They were not hunting for food, it was merely leisure.
2493
2494Fang Yuan stood above Di Qiu, slowly opening his eyes.
2495
2496These days, not only did he prepare for the Gu refinement, he even expanded his wolf groups.
2497
2498Not just the azure wolf group, the land based ordinary wolves, including turtleback wolf, water wolf, night wolf etc, had reached two hundred thousand in numbers.
2499
2500"The wolf group has previously been spread around a radius of a hundred li, it can be a good method of deterrence. Moreover, the azure wolf group in the sky has already become the symbol of Wolf King, most Gu Masters would understand that Chang Shan Yin is hunting here when they see the wolves, thus they will choose to take a detour."
2501
2502If they did not detour, it meant that they had ill intentions.
2503
2504Once these Gu Masters were discovered by the wolves, they would be attacked by them.
2505
2506Of course, there were innocent people who entered by accident, but Fang Yuan could not care less about them, it is their bad luck if they get killed by wolves.
2507
2508Fang Yuan turned his gaze towards the sacred palace, although he was far away, he could see the dazzling aurora in the sky.
2509
2510The sacred palace was shining in bright light once again, it was a beautiful sight — and also the sign that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was going to materialize the second floor.
2511
2512This had another meaning in Fang Yuan's case.
2513
2514The towers sink and countless wild Gu are sacrificed in order to become the mystical power that forms the Immortal Gu house.
2515
2516This aurora was the accumulation of such power, and it had already reached the point of reaching a qualitative change.
2517
2518In order to open Di Qiu inheritance, Fang Yuan needed to borrow the strength of this mystical power, and cause it to flow backwards.
2519
2520"In order to get through the stages, Hei Lou Lan intentionally opened the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to the public, causing everyone to get excited and all Gu Masters to feel moved. Once the news spread, all the Gu Masters outside the sacred palace came and gathered here. Everyone's attention is on the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building now, this is the perfect time for me to open the inheritance!"
2521
2522Fang Yuan's gaze shone as he smiled, without hesitation, he struck.
2523
2524"Go." He patted his belly, and thirty-six Gu worms flew out of his aperture.
2525
2526These Gu were of peculiar shapes. Their bodies were tiny and were half the size of a fingernail, they were like five-pointed stars, giving off a milky white light.
2527
2528These were rank one little light Gu, a very famous light path assistance type Gu.
2529
2530As Fang Yuan willed, these little light Gu flew into Di Qiu's cave. At once, the darkness in the cave was lifted.
2531
2532Fang Yuan summoned another thirteen light fences Gu.
2533
2534This Gu was rank three, also from the light path. Once activated, they can turn into fences and restrain the target.
2535
2536The light fences Gu flew into the cave and mixed with the little light Gu, but there were no changes.
2537
2538Fang Yuan smiled lightly, he waved his hand and three rank five light path Gu came out.
2539
2540These three Gu were lightning flash Gu that increased speed, unlimited spring light Gu that healed, as well as the attack type heaven blazing spark Gu.
2541
2542Lightning flash Gu gave off a blue light, it shone like lightning as it flew into the cave.
2543
2544The motionless Di Qiu finally had some changes.
2545
2546As if a mechanism was unlocked, the ground and soil around Di Qiu started to expand and connect.
2547
2548The blue lightning destroyed the little light Gu from before, and became a light-blue glow, having an extremely powerful aura.
2549
2550But at the same time, the light fences Gu connected with each other and formed light fences that kept the blue lightning in.
2551
2552The blue light was about to break out, but at this time unlimited spring light flew in and gave off an unlimited jade-green aurora, it was gentle as water, suppressing the blue light and forming a stalemate.
2553
2554Eventually, the blazing heaven spark Gu flew in and turned into a bright red light, it pierced the green aura and the blue light, going deeper into the cave.
2555
2556With some loud sounds, the cave entrance slowly closed. In the deep parts of the land, three lights were mixing together, engaging in a mysterious transformation that Fang Yuan could not describe.
2557
2558Fang Yuan saw this and his heart settled, he knew that he was right. This was the "light in the soil" part of the quote.
2559
2560Although he was eighty percent sure, he was worried about mistakes. After all, he only had the latter half of the inheritance's clue, the first half was held in the hands of central continent Gu Immortals' hands.
2561
2562But this latter half described the method to open this inheritance.
2563
2564Fang Yuan used his foundation as a refinement master, and together with Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's information, he forcefully interpreted this code and gained the chance to snatch the inheritance midway.
2565
2566About an hour later, the sounds from under the ground became softer.
2567
2568But the ground became hotter, even though Fang Yuan was wearing northern plains' deer leather shoes, it could not isolate this heat.
2569
2570The hole in the ground slowly opened, as the light was gone, leaving pure darkness inside.
2571
2572Fang Yuan saw this and he became elated.
2573
2574After 'light in the soil', it was 'shine up to a hundred thousand feet high'. If interpreted literally, it would be a huge mistake.
2575
2576This quote was a test, to test the refinement ability of the Gu Master.
2577
2578The quote was regarding refinement path, 'shine up to a hundred thousand feet high' was not just a description of the scenery, it also described the steps for the refinement process!
2579
2580Fang Yuan was not flustered or worried, he threw two defensive rank five shine back spike Gu, three investigative type high observation Gu, one attack type ten thousand heart piercing arrow Gu, and nine assistance type nine feet flame Gu.
2581
2582Only to see that inside the cave, grey-yellow smoke was rumbling but did not ooze out. The sounds of chirping birds or flying arrows, shrieking sounds that pierced the air came from within the smoke.
2583
2584This scene lasted for seven minutes, until darkness returned again.
2585
2586The ground closed again, as the cave vanished.
2587
2588This time, Di Qiu no longer gave off heat, but instead cold air was seeping, causing Fang Yuan's legs to turn stiff from the cold.
2589
2590Fang Yuan breathed out a sigh, turning his gaze towards the sacred palace.
2591
2592"If my guess is correct, the sacred palace is going to become chaotic now…"
2593
2594At this moment, in the sacred palace.
2595
2596At a side hall, the secret door concealed by trees opened.
2597
2598An elderly man with snow-white hair walked out with a middle aged Gu Master.
2599
2600"Old sir, please take care." First elder Hei Pei brought Tai Bai Yun Sheng out from the secret door and patted his chest: "Don't worry, with me here, you are sure to have a guest token!"
2601
2602Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed: "Since elder Hei Pei is making a promise, I am sure it will succeed. Of course I am assured, you do not have to send me off, goodbye."
2603
2604"Goodbye." First elder Hei Pei placed his fist by his chest as he bowed, seeing Tai Bai Yun Sheng turn around the corner and vanishing from his vision under the concealment of the trees.
2605
2606"The allure of an Immortal Venerable inheritance is really huge, to think that even Tai Bai Yun Sheng came to bribe me." Hei Pei sighed.
2607
2608Ever since Hei Lou Lan opened up the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, elder Hei Pei who was in charge of this matter became extremely popular. Every day, all sorts of people came to visit him in secret, some used their relationships while others talked about and tried to obtain friendship, there were people who bribed him and people who tried to attract him sexually.
2609
2610But Tai Bai Yun Sheng's visit was a shock to Hei Pei.
2611
2612Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a huge reputation, he was the number one healer in northern plains, he saved countless people and was an extremely righteous man with great character, his influence was great.
2613
2614Hei Pei had not expected Tai Bai Yun Sheng to bribe him of all people.
2615
2616"In the end, Old Sir Tai Bai is still a mortal. There are only so many guest tokens, if it was me, I would not be able to resist it either." Hei Pei laughed, raising his head subconsciously towards the top of the sacred palace.
2617
2618There, an aurora of dazzling lights had condensed into a thick fog.
2619
2620Within the thick fog, the second layer of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was already visible.
2621
2622"In no time, the second layer will materialize." Not far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng raised his head and looked.
2623
2624The colorful aurora shone on his white hair and his wrinkled face.
2625
2626Tai Bai Yun Sheng was in a daze, an event deep within his memories resurfaced.
2627
2628That day, the sunset was bright like a fire, burning in the sky.
2629
2630This was the fourteen year old Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who had just met the old beggar who changed his life forever.
2631
2632"Young lad, you gave me a bowl of water, you saved this old beggar's life. What do you want, say it, I will try my best to fulfill your wishes!" The old beggar had messy purple-red hair, he was slightly insane at times, while unconscious sometimes. But when he was awake, his gaze was deep as the ocean, he gave off a disposition that could be etched into a person's memories.
2633
2634"I want to be a Gu Master!" The young Tai Bai Yun Sheng said.
2635
2636"What kind of Gu Master do you want to be? Hehehe, I have three complete inheritances! The first can allow you to bathe in flames and step on fire, surpassing mortals. The second can allow you to control wind and the air, roaming the world freely. The third can surpass life and death, allowing you to help the people in the world." The old beggar laughed and his rotten yellow teeth were exposed.
2637
2638The young Tai Bai Yun Sheng frowned and thought about it, before choosing the third inheritance…
2639
2640As he snapped out of his daze, returning from the trip to his memory lane, Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed bitterly, muttering: "In the end, I am a person that is afraid of dying."
2641
2642When he was young, he did not have such feelings, in fact, he became indifferent after witnessing many situations of death.
2643
2644When Tai Bai Yun Sheng got old, his healthy body slowly became weak and feeble, he started reminiscing about the times in his youth.
2645
2646Often, people's thoughts changed with their circumstances.
2647
2648On Earth, one could not surpass the limits of life and death, they had no choice but to accept it. But here, as long as there was a trace of hope, they would struggle and fight!
2649
2650Only when he was faced with such a situation, when Tai Bai Yun Sheng became closer and closer to death did he become aware of this great terror!
2651
2652Because of this, he secretly observed and waited for several rounds, before clearly understanding the situation, deciding to participate in this Imperial Court contest and enter Imperial Court blessed land.
2653
2654"If I can obtain lifespan Gu from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, I would be able to increase my lifespan. Although lifespan Gu is hard to find, and even harder to buy or sell, I'm sure there are some inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. If in the end, I cannot obtain a lifespan Gu, I can only attempt to ascend to Gu Immortal realm." Tai Bai Yun Sheng evaluated in his heart.
2655
2656The inheritance the old beggar gave him was outstanding, it was an entire inheritance that allowed one to cultivate all the way to rank six Gu Immortal realm!
2657
2658The inheritance stated very clearly the method for a mortal to ascend to Gu Immortal realm.
2659
2660Thus, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was very clear of the risks he had to take to reach Gu Immortal realm.
2661
2662To advance to Gu Immortal realm, one needed to gather and fuse the elements of heaven, earth, and man. If either of the three aspects were insufficient, they would die and their soul would dissipate.
2663
2664If he was not desperate, Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not want to ascend to Gu Immortal realm. That was because even if he ascended to Gu Immortal realm, it could not raise his lifespan.
2665
2666But in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's inheritance, there was hope left for him.
2667
2668But this hope was very difficult to obtain, he needed to succeed in advancing to Gu Immortal realm for there to be a possibility.
2669
2670These years, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had been searching for lifespan Gu, but lifespan Gu were created from heaven and earth, they could not be located easily and were hard to catch, Tai Bai Yun Sheng made no progress.
2671
2672"There should be lifespan Gu inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, I can definitely find lifespan Gu there!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's figure as he cheered for himself secretly.
2673
2674But the next moment, his pupils expanded as he saw an unbelievable scene!

2682
2683
2684
2685
2686The whole sacred palace fell into shock and fear.
2687
2688After a while, a large commotion suddenly rose up.
2689
2690"This… what the hell is going on?!"
2691
2692"What happened, why is the aurora shrinking?"
2693
2694A scene that had never occurred before was happening in everyone's sights.
2695
2696The second floor that had been gradually condensing into form was slowly becoming fainter. Great amounts of the thick aurora were reducing and becoming lighter at a visible speed.
2697
2698"What happened?!" Hei Lou Lan's brows furrowed into a knot as he grabbed elder Hei Pei's collar with his thick arm and pulled towards him.
2699
2700His expression was twisted and his eyes opened with fury as he shouted: "Investigate it! I must know what the hell happened!"
2701
2702Hei Lou Lan possessed one of the ten extreme physiques - great strength true martial physique. Only by becoming an immortal, could he avoid the pressure of death.
2703
2704However, for ten extreme physiques to become immortal, they required the help of relevant Immortal Gu.
2705
2706Hei Lou Lan placed his hopes on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to find the key to become immortal — a strength path Immortal Gu, so how could he let an accident happen to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building?
2707
2708Elder Hei Pei's body shivered in fright, Hei Lou Lan asked him to investigate the details, but he was only a mortal, how could he investigate it? What could he investigate? In a sobbing tone, he answered: "This… this subordinate does not know, there were no instances of this happening in historical records…"
2709
2710"It is getting lighter, it is becoming even more light!" Someone shouted while pointing at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2711
2712The aurora became smaller, and the thick light, dimmer.
2713
2714Many Gu Masters looked up in a daze, panic quickly spreading everywhere.
2715
2716"Is Eighty-Eight True Yang Building damaged?"
2717
2718"This is something our Immortal Venerable old ancestor personally arranged."
2719
2720"Could it be that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building also cannot compete against the flow of the river of time?"
2721
2722Some had pale expressions while even more covered their heads, their gaze filled with fear.
2723
2724"They are in chaos." From far away, Fang Yuan looked with an eerie gaze and a cold smile on his face.
2725
2726Even if he was far away, the panicked shouts in the sacred palace still reached his ears.
2727
2728The culprit behind this terror glanced at the sacred palace before looking down at Di Qiu cave below.
2729
2730His gaze shone with a strange light as he praised: "Amazing, truly amazing!"
2731
2732Fang Yuan had originally estimated that only ten percent at most would be absorbed, but he had never thought when he activated the mechanism, the backflow of the heavenly power would surpass his estimation!
2733
2734Based on just this, Fang Yuan could tell this Gu Immortal's understanding of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was absolutely not beneath his.
2735
2736"Who is this mysterious Gu Immortal? What identity do they have? I had a fortuitous encounter, the advantage of rebirth and also the first hand information from Lang Ya land spirit. But how was he or she able to have such a deep understanding of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building?"
2737
2738Right now, the cave was filled to the brim with light, almost to the point of overflowing, but it was firmly restrained by the layer of black light at the entrance.
2739
2740The aurora surged freely; the intense light that was brewing inside was becoming more and more vigorous.
2741
2742*Crack...*
2743
2744Cracks started appearing on the first floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2745
2746Hei Pei and the other elders went pale as they looked at this scene in a daze.
2747
2748As for the other Gu Masters at the lower floors of the sacred palace, many were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing non-stop.
2749
2750Some shouted, some wept and some begged —
2751
2752"Don't collapse, don't collapse!"
2753
2754"Old ancestor, what mistake did we commit, why are you punishing us like this?"
2755
2756"We beg old ancestor to show mercy, please give another chance to us unfilial descendants!"
2757
2758All these voices entered Hei Lou Lan's ears as he stared at the first floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building rigidly.
2759
2760The cracks were continuously spreading on the first floor.
2761
2762Even if Hei Lou Lan was a rank five Gu Master with an extreme physique, an existence at the peak of mortals, right now he was feeling bewilderment, helplessness, hesitation and weakness!
2763
2764"No, this can't go on! I cannot allow this to happen!!" Hei Lou Lan shouted in fury, his expression malevolent and his gaze filled with hot fury.
2765
2766'I have yet to avenge mother! My vengeance! My strength path Immortal Gu!' He screamed in his heart.
2767
2768*Rumble.*
2769
2770A soft sound was heard, but the earth shook!
2771
2772Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's first floor, which was completely condensed, collapsed completely and turned back into the free aurora light.
2773
2774The light was like a flood that had broken the dam as it gushed out and spread rapidly; in just a few breaths of time, it enshrouded the whole sacred palace and dyed the horizons.
2775
2776*Puff!*
2777
2778Hei Lou Lan's gaze lost its focus as suffocation filled his stomach, he involuntarily spurted out stagnated blood that had flowed in reverse towards his throat.
2779
2780"No! I won't allow this! Form back right now! Come back!" He opened up his palms and tried to grab the aurora.
2781
2782And as if it was responding to his effort, the aurora that were gushing out gradually reduced and the surrounding lights also started falling back.
2783
2784Hei Lou Lan's gaze flashed, a spark of hope had just ignited in him, but was completely gone the next moment.
2785
2786The aurora light might have gathered back together, but it did not condense back to the image of the first floor. The light continue to reduce as if a giant incorporeal beast was swallowing it.
2787
2788"No, don't…" Far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled, his expression becoming spiritless.
2789
2790"Do the heavens want my Hei tribe dead?" First elder Hei Pei clutched his hair.
2791
2792A problem occurred in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building in Hei tribe's hands, this meant Hei tribe was completely finished. Other super forces and Huang Jin tribes would not let them go.
2793
2794"Heavens, what happened? Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is actually…" Ye Lui Sang grabbed his chest in fear. Near his heart resided the fire path Immortal Gu which was lent by Ye Lui tribe's Supreme Elder Ye Lui Lai before the Imperial Court contest. Right now, this fire path Immortal Gu was trembling non-stop.
2795
2796Almost at the same time, Fang Yuan's expression also had a slight change.
2797
2798In his aperture, Spring Autumn Cicada revealed its true body, trembling continuously and was emitting its Immortal Gu aura, causing his rank five aperture to creak from the pressure.
2799
2800"This is the resonance of the Great Dao in heaven and earth." Fang Yuan was well aware of this.
2801
2802Man was the spirit of all living beings, Gu was the essence of heaven and earth, a vessel of the Great Dao. If a mortal Gu was said to hold only a tiny fragment of the law of heaven and earth, then an Immortal Gu would hold a corner of the Great Dao, an intact piece of the rules of heaven and earth.
2803
2804Because of this, there could only be one Immortal Gu of its kind.
2805
2806Every time an Immortal Gu was born, other Immortal Gu in the surroundings would tremble and respond.
2807
2808The more closely related or conflicting the law inside Gu worms' bodies are, the stronger the resonance between them, and the greater the extent they would tremble.
2809
2810"From the extent of Spring Autumn Cicada's trembling, this Immortal Gu that is about to be born is not of the time path." Fang Yuan estimated, but his gaze was tightly looking at the cave without the least bit of negligence.
2811
2812Inside the cave, the aurora from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was continuously being absorbed before fading away as it nurtured the intense light within.
2813
2814This intense light was becoming more and more flourishing; the black membrane at the entrance was starting to show signs of not being able to restrain it.
2815
2816"That'll do. If I don't make a move now, the black membrane will burst and the aurora will shoot to the sky and expose me. It is still a small matter if Hei Lou Lan and the rest are the ones that discover me, but in case it awakens Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's hibernating will, then it will just take one thought from the Immortal Venerable's will to turn me into ashes."
2817
2818Fang Yuan had endured the impulse to make a move several times before, and now the timing was fully ripe, he made his move, throwing in large numbers of Gu worms.
2819
2820Gu worms from rank one to rank five from all paths sprinkled down like rain.
2821
2822This situation looked disorderly and complex, but it actually had a special profoundness to it. The Gu worms were not only divided into separate groups, they even had particularly specific distances from each other, to the extent that some Gu worms fell slightly slower while some fell faster.
2823
2824This was a high grade technique of Gu refinement called the sprinkler. Gu Masters with natural talent and aptitude could master enslavement path and flying skills. But even the Gu Masters with higher natural talent required thousands of tries before they could display a decent use of the sprinkler technique.
2825
2826Fang Yuan's attainment in this technique was beyond the level of just a decent performance, and was enough to make other refinement path masters exclaim in surprise.
2827
2828After the Gu worms sprinkled down, the aurora slowly changed color into that of blue water or the sky, before becoming still.
2829
2830In the blue light, countless white lights flew like birds and swam like fish. Specks of white light would occasionally gather into a heap and from time to time scatter like stars. Just glancing at this for a moment caused Fang Yuan to feel dizzy.
2831
2832He quickly moved his gaze towards the sacred palace.
2833
2834The clamors in the sacred palace had already decreased. After the aurora light enshrouding the sacred palace decreased by around half, the speed of its reduction slowed.
2835
2836Seeing that no one was paying attention here and the scattered wolf groups were also not sending any battle signals, Fang Yuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
2837
2838"Everything is going smoothly, it should be the final step now." He was extremely cautious and did not even have the slightest intent of being conceited, instead he was even more vigilant.
2839
2840Whether it was the history of this world or on Earth, how many cases were there of people failing at the last hurdle?
2841
2842Moreover, this final step would create a huge commotion and was the step where a problem was most likely to appear.
2843
2844Fang Yuan slightly flicked his wrist and and a smelly fart Gu that he had been holding lightly flew into the cave.
2845
2846Immediately a *peculiar fragrance* spread out of the cave.
2847
2848The *peculiar fragrance* flew even without wind, soon spreading out.
2849
2850"Stopped, it has stopped!" After a while of shock and fear, the Gu Masters in the sacred palace became wild with joy.
2851
2852"Lord, the aurora has stopped reducing and has begun to slowly increase again!" A Hei tribe elder shouted excitedly, and was kicked by Hei Lou Lan.
2853
2854"I can see that!" Hei Lou Lan kicked the elder to the ground, his gaze was ruthless but the deep voice could not conceal his joy.
2855
2856However, his heart was extremely nervous.
2857
2858The reduction of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's aurora and even the collapse of the floor had never happened before.
2859
2860What had happened?
2861
2862Hei Lou Lan's mind was filled with doubts.
2863
2864He did not know why there was a problem, it caused him to worry greatly. What made Hei Lou Lan even more helpless and indignant was that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the work of an Immortal Venerable —"even if I knew where the problem was, I probably would not be able to solve it with just my ability…"
2865
2866If he was to know that it was all caused by Fang Yuan single-handedly, then he would probably risk his life and tear off the seal placed on him by Immortal Gu Dark Limit, to pit his life against Fang Yuan.

2881
2882--------------------
2883
2884Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's shocking change was a traumatic experience for everyone in the sacred palace, countless people were worried, scared and helpless.
2885
2886Fortunately, the situation stabilized not long after Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's first floor collapsed.
2887
2888The aurora no longer reduced and was instead beginning to increase again.
2889
2890Maybe because it was provoked, the speed of this aurora's increase was somewhat faster than before.
2891
2892Several days later, the thick as water aurora condensed back to the first floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2893
2894After it had completely formed, Hei Lou Lan and the others immediately entered it anxiously. Their entry to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building proceeded smoothly.
2895
2896This made Hei Lou Lan greatly relieved and he gradually calmed down.
2897
2898Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was extremely significant to him, he needed to become a Gu Immortal to avenge his mother. As the possessor of one of the ten extreme physiques, Great Strength True Martial physique, his only hope of becoming an immortal was to obtain a strength path Immortal Gu from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2899
2900This was depicted in <>.
2901
2902For humans to live, it was okay if they did not have strength or even wisdom, but they could not lose hope.
2903
2904Hei Lou Lan regained the hope of saving his life, his mood gradually turned better as he started to plan his next breakthrough of the hundred rounds.
2905
2906The first floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had formed anew, so the checkpoints had reset, making Hei Lou Lan's previous efforts turn into smoke; he needed to overcome everything again.
2907
2908To Hei Pei and the other elders, this was a very good thing.
2909
2910"This is joy after extreme sorrow, going through the rounds again will allow us to get even more rewards!"
2911
2912"Maybe that was a small joke by old ancestor Immortal Venerable…"
2913
2914"Every floor in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has a hundred rounds with the difficulty increasing sharply at the later rounds. Looking at history, there were very few Imperial Court winners who were able to cross through every round, we should not be optimistic in being able to overcome the final round. As long as we can put all our efforts in passing the earlier rounds, our tribe's strength will rise greatly!"
2915
2916The elders were filled with joy, but this was bad news to Hei Lou Lan.
2917
2918There were only two ways for him to obtain a strength path Immortal Gu from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2919
2920First was to get a high grade evaluation and enter the treasure room, then use his bloodline identity to exchange for the Immortal Gu inside.
2921
2922Second was to pass the final round of every floor which could give him the chance to obtain an Immortal Gu.
2923
2924To Hei Lou Lan, the first method required him to bring out an equivalently valuable treasure to exchange, and thus was not practical. The only probability of success was in the second method.
2925
2926Passing through the last few rounds would be extremely difficult. The rounds were reset now; they would have to overcome these rounds again, which no doubt would waste his precious time.
2927
2928Time waits for no man, once their time was up, they would be sent out of Imperial Court blessed land. If he could not get a strength path Immortal Gu before this happens, Hei Lou Lan would not only be unable to take revenge, but would also have to welcome his death.
2929
2930For this reason, Hei Lou Lan stubbornly maintained his stance in spite of others' wishes and started recruiting other tribes' Gu Masters, completely opening up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
2931
2932Everyone could casually enter or exit Eighty-Eight True Yang Building free of charge. Other than Hei tribe elders, everyone in the sacred palace was celebrating in joy.
2933
2934"Hei Lou Lan has a grand demeanour, doing something that no other Lords of Imperial Court have done before. I, Ye Lui Sang, am in deep admiration!" Ye Lui Sang was the first to enter Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, his face covered in a joyful glow.
2935
2936He was the current tribe leader of Ye Lui tribe and had been a popular candidate to win the prior Imperial Court contest; the tribe's Gu Immortals supported him greatly, not even stinting on lending a fire path Immortal Gu to him.
2937
2938But he lost in the end and to preserve the fire path Immortal Gu, he had no choice but to side with Hei Lou Lan.
2939
2940They finally won and succeeded in entering Imperial Court blessed land, but as one of the super forces, he felt that it was a disgrace to be a subordinate of Hei tribe. He was sure to be treated coldly, abandoned and even punished when he returned to the tribe.
2941
2942"If I can have good gains in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, then I can make up for the earlier mistakes and return grandly to the tribe!" Ye Lui Sang's emotions surged.
2943
2944"Chang Shan Yin, don't be proud of yourself. As long as you don't become an immortal, I will have a chance. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is my cornerstone to rise up!" Chang Biao had a cold look in his eyes. He was also among the first batch of experts to enter the tower.
2945
2946He was not moving alone and had a companion beside him.
2947
2948It was Sole Blade General Pan Ping.
2949
2950Previously at Xing Jiu mountain peak, Pan Ping's opportunity had been openly seized by Fang Yuan, which created a lot of indignance in his heart.
2951
2952Chang Biao learned of this situation and intentionally approached Pan Ping; the two hit it off, becoming partners.
2953
2954"Go, go, become the vanguards to open my path, use your lives to broaden my way." Hei Lou Lan sneered inwardly, using his owner token while calmly looking at the grand flow of people entering the tower.
2955
2956After the flow of people had gradually become sparse, Tai Bai Yun Sheng ,with his simple and aged appearance, tall and sturdy physique, clothed in a white robe, he appeared at the top floor of the sacred palace.
2957
2958"Old Sir Tai Bai." Hei Lou Lan greeted him.
2959
2960"Lord tribe leader has astonishing mettle, this old man is overwhelmed." Tai Bai Yun Sheng exclaimed in admiration.
2961
2962He had an elegant demeanour and leisurely attitude. Since everyone could casually enter and exit now, they were not restricted by the quota. He also did not anxiously enter the tower immediately since the rounds which might give lifespan Gu as the reward would definitely be the later rounds.
2963
2964The two exchanged a few words before Tai Bai Yun Sheng entered the tower.
2965
2966"There is strength in numbers." Hei Lou Lan was feeling overwhelmed in his mind.
2967
2968From the information sent by the owner token; in just a short period of time, because of the enormous quantity of Gu Masters, they had successively gotten through the first thirty rounds.
2969
2970However, at the fortieth round and above, just numbers would not work, they required specific Gu Master experts to cross those rounds.
2971
2972Pan Ping, Chang Biao, Ye Lui Sang and Tai Bai Yun Sheng made their moves one after another, and were able to push to the fifty-third round. But here, their momentum came to a stop, they encountered a problem; they needed an enslavement path master to pass this round.
2973
2974"Looks like we must have Wolf King to pass this round." Tai Bai Yun Sheng muttered while stroking his snow-white beard.
2975
2976In this Imperial Court contest, Fang Yuan's performance left behind an extremely deep impression on everyone. The glorious title of the number one enslavement path Gu Master of this generation in northern plains was already given to him.
2977
2978Thus, as they encountered this problem, everyone's first thought was Fang Yuan.
2979
2980"Strange, why don't I see Chang Shan Yin?" Ye Lui Sang looked around him, but could not find Chang Shan Yin.
2981
2982"Wolf King has been taking his wolves out for hunting these few days." Soon, someone replied.
2983
2984"Chang Shan Yin is indeed an extraordinary person, we can casually enter and exit Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, but his heart is actually not moved!" Sighs and admiration could be heard among the group.
2985
2986Pan Ping snorted, speaking in a gloomy tone: "Everyone, please don't forget that our Lord Wolf King has already entered the tower before. According to a reliable source, he passed with high grade evaluation. After he exited the tower, he immediately went to closed-door cultivation and even refused many invitations from tribe leader Hei Lou Lan."
2987
2988The crowd here knew of the conflict between him and Fang Yuan, and as no one wished to offend this uprising Sole Blade General, the praises and admiration towards Fang Yuan immediately stopped.
2989
2990Everyone sank into a momentary silence.
2991
2992Many Gu Master experts also had a slight change in expressions as they showed a somewhat unexpected look on their face.
2993
2994Pan Ping had a sinister motive in mentioning Fang Yuan had obtained a huge benefit before, leaving it to everyone's ample imagination as to what reward it was, and with this, succeeded in inciting jealousy in their hearts.
2995
2996If it was before when these people did not have any experience of the enormous benefits provided by Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it would have been slightly better. But now that they had experienced it as they passed the rounds, the fire of envy was lit up in the depths of their hearts!
2997
2998At this moment, a young Gu Master's voice broke the silence: "Since Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is opened for everyone, everyone can obtain benefits. Lord father being able to obtain the benefits was due to his own ability!"
2999
3000The crowd's gazes quickly moved towards the source and discovered it was none other than Chang Shan Yin's own son — Chang Ji You.
3001
3002Immediately, Pan Ping's expression turned sharp as he viciously gazed at Chang Ji You.
3003
3004Although Chang Ji You was somewhat weaker than Pan Ping, his heart was filled with reverence towards his father, so he did not back down and instead returned Pan Ping's gaze with his own furious gaze.
3005
3006Killing intent surged in Pan Ping's mind, but he did not dare to make a move. He was unexpected put on the spot by Chang Ji You, a junior!
3007
3008The person with the most complicated feelings right now was Chang Biao.
3009
3010He was Chang Ji You's own blood father, but right now, he had to look on at his own son defending his greatest enemy.
3011
3012Grievance and hatred were surging up non-stop in his heart!
3013
3014"Cough cough." Tai Bai Yun Sheng stood up to alleviate the tension, "Everyone, let's concentrate on this round."
3015
3016"At this point, we can only request Lord Wolf King's assistance."
3017
3018"Among us, Old Sir Tai Bai has the highest reputation; as long as you personally send a letter, Wolf King will definitely accept the request."
3019
3020The Gu Masters spoke one after another, but Chang Biao and Pan Ping glanced at each other, their hearts filled with worry.
3021
3022If Wolf King comes, he was sure to pass this round.
3023
3024But with this, not speaking of the rewards he would get from passing the round, his prestige would increase even more. This was a situation these two were not willing to see.
3025
3026Pan Ping wanted to speak up but hesitated.
3027
3028He had the mind to prevent this, but it was not easy getting a chance to interrupt Tai Bai Yun Sheng and make him back down. If Chang Ji You again interrupted here, his face might be lost completely!
3029
3030Chang Biao was secretly observing Pan Ping's expression and saw Pan Ping opening his mouth several times but did not manage to speak in the end. He inwardly cursed Pan Ping for being a coward, then looked around and signalled a planted agent among the crowd.
3031
3032This planted agent immediately comprehended the signal and shouted out: "In my opinion, Lord Wolf King is occupied with important matters, it probably won't be easy to invite him. Why don't we request Lord Tang Miao Ming instead? Her enslavement path attainment is already very close to master realm."
3033
3034Tai Bai Yun Sheng's thoughts could not help being shaken.
3035
3036He did not have much interaction with Fang Yuan, but he knew deeply of the latter's 'arrogance'. Instead of taking the risk of facing embarrassment from being refused, it might truly be better to let Tang Miao Ming try first.
3037
3038Flap flap flap….
3039
3040Groups after groups of blissful snow bats flew from all around like rivers converging into the sea, as they flew towards Di Qiu cave.
3041
3042The peculiar fragrance had spread for a hundred li.
3043
3044It was this rich fragrance that had attracted the blissful snow bat groups.
3045
3046At this stage, the Gu refinement was already approaching the end.
3047
3048"This is using the lives of beasts as sacrifices, it is a wonderful method that is similar to the workings of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. It is just that in case of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the small towers sacrifice the wild Gu to combine their strength."
3049
3050As he personally put it into practice, Fang Yuan gained an even more profound understanding of this Gu refinement.
3051
3052The peculiar fragrance gradually dissipated, and without its temptation, the small number of remaining blissful snow bats flew away in disorder.
3053
3054"It is about to finish!" Fang Yuan's breathing turned rough and his gaze staring at the cave fixatedly, unable to conceal his excited expression.

3071
3072--------------------
3073
3074By this point, Fang Yuan was overwhelmed with awe.
3075
3076This mysterious Gu Immortal who created Di Qiu inheritance was definitely a grandmaster in terms of refinement attainment. The entire process was using Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's heavenly power, it was innovative and daring.
3077
3078Although Fang Yuan was the executor, his role was really that of an assistant.
3079
3080Refining Gu was hard, refining an Immortal Gu was even harder, it was harder than ascending to heaven!
3081
3082For a comparable example, a rock has been pushed onto the peak of a cliff by a mysterious Gu Immortal. Fang Yuan is only giving it a final push, easily sending this rock flying towards the ground and crashing, that would be success.
3083
3084Swish swish swish…
3085
3086The cave had already formed into a black water spiral. The spiral continued to spin, letting out a weird noise.
3087
3088Soon after, the tower's tip appeared, followed by its body and base. From within the spiral, a brand new small tower appeared with seemingly countless Gu worms inside.
3089
3090"Incredible! With the appearance of this tower, the final loophole is gone. Even if someone comes here due to the commotion, they would not find anything." Fang Yuan praised as he sighed.
3091
3092But…
3093
3094Although the tower was formed, why has the Immortal Gu not appeared yet?
3095
3096Fang Yuan's gaze focused, he found that in the small tower, there was a strong light that flickered. There was a weak feeling of connection with it in his heart.
3097
3098He instantly understood that this was the early stage of the Immortal Gu.
3099
3100He was about to use this connection to lure the Immortal Gu out.
3101
3102When suddenly, this strong light escaped like an intangible shadow, towards the southeast direction.
3103
3104"What happened?" Fang Yuan was shocked in his heart. By now, the four steps of "light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow" had been completed, Fang Yuan did not know what was going on with this sudden change.
3105
3106"Hei Lou Lan opened up the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building after it formed once more, it was truly a huge move. According to logic, I should be heading to the building to challenge it, that is what a normal person would do…"
3107
3108The early stage Immortal Gu had flown to a far away place, as Fang Yuan looked at the sacred palace hesitantly.
3109
3110Although he was outside, he had already made preparations. Be it Chang tribe or Ge tribe, they were sending him real-time information.
3111
3112The longer Fang Yuan was away from the sacred palace, the more suspicion he would attract. If they were stuck at a stage and needed the Wolf King's power, some people might come to find him and…
3113
3114It took time for information to be transmitted.
3115
3116Fang Yuan had no idea that his enemy Chang Biao helped him indirectly.
3117
3118At this moment, Tang Miao Ming took great risks and was able to successfully pass the round, causing a huge wave of cheering inside the building.
3119
3120The Immortal Gu was still the most important matter, Fang Yuan only hesitated for a moment before making up his mind, spreading his wings and chasing after the strong light.
3121
3122This strong light was like a cocoon, it travelled along the ground at an absurd speed. Because of the trees and bushes shielding it from sight, no one took notice of it.
3123
3124Fang Yuan chased it in the air, trying to hide his traces as he abandoned the wolves behind, travelling stealthily.
3125
3126As time passed, this strong light became dimmer, but its speed rose.
3127
3128Although he was rank five peak stage, his speed was not at the peak of the mortal realm, it was very tough chasing the Gu, but he did not lose sight of it.
3129
3130In the end, it was because this early stage Immortal Gu was not created solely by Fang Yuan.
3131
3132Different from when he refined divine travel Gu, Fang Yuan was only an assistant this time, it was all due to the backflow of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's heavenly power. He was a mortal, it was already a huge achievement from much effort to be able to gain a connection to the Immortal Gu.
3133
3134The strong light entered a valley and flew into a waterfall, vanishing.
3135
3136But using the connection, Fang Yuan could sense that the early stage Immortal Gu was still.
3137
3138Fang Yuan penetrated the waterfall but collided on the smooth and wet mountain rock. At once, rocks crumbled as water splashed all over the place.
3139
3140"Weird!"
3141
3142Fang Yuan was confused, the connection in his heart told him that the strong light was inside this water, but he diverted the water flow and even destroyed this waterfall, and yet he could not find a trace of this Immortal Gu.
3143
3144"Was my effort in vain? No, there is a huge trick here!"
3145
3146He flew up and observed the terrain.
3147
3148This small waterfall had already become a pool, it was extremely ordinary. The valley was nameless, it was not a unique location.
3149
3150Fang Yuan placed his sights on this pool.
3151
3152The connection in his heart told him that the early stage Immortal Gu was inside, but even if he went through the waterfall, or controlled the water flow, he could not find it.
3153
3154At this time, the Gu master's investigative Gu worms would be tested.
3155
3156Fang Yuan was obviously unresigned, he tried many investigative methods. Although he did not excel in investigation, he controlled Hu Immortal blessed land and had access to treasure yellow heaven, he did not lack rank five mortal Gu.
3157
3158Only when he tried the fifty-seventh method, after a considerable expense in immortal essence stones did he have a discovery.
3159
3160Only to see that in the pool, there was the silhouette of a pavilion, it looked like the reflection of the moon in the water.
3161
3162He entered the water, but did not enter the pavilion.
3163
3164After trying for several times without success, Fang Yuan gasped, he finally recognised this pavilion after a flash of inspiration struck him.
3165
3166"Is this the long lost Immortal Gu house — Water Pavilion?"
3167
3168Immortal Gu were unique, so were Immortal Gu houses.
3169
3170This Water Pavilion was inferior to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it was only rank seven. But it had a great reputation, it was the signature method of the Gu Immortal Shui Ni.
3171
3172Shui Ni was a rank eight Gu Immortal, the legend that created the water path. She was also the creator of one of the top ten sects in central continent, Spirit Affinity House.
3173
3174In contrast to the grandness of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Water Pavilion could hide itself in the water, becoming like an illusion, it was very mystical. It could move with currents or hide inside mist and fog, flying in the sky. It could even hide in a corner of an iceberg, becoming undetectable.
3175
3176Without the token to enter the pavilion, Water Pavilion could even repel rank eight Gu Immortals.
3177
3178But right now, this pavilion was ownerless, its doors were open. Fang Yuan was kept in the dark earlier, but now that he found out the truth, he had the method to enter.
3179
3180"To enter Water Pavilion, I have to become water. There is a killer move called water spirit transformation, together with a few Gu, I can turn into a water spirit, my battle strength would surge and I would have terrain advantage."
3181
3182Fang Yuan searched through his memories and found a method.
3183
3184But in the end, Hu Immortal land spirit bought a rank five current charge Gu for him in treasure yellow heaven.
3185
3186This Gu could allow a Gu Master to turn into a water current temporarily and charge for a distance. But it was already outdated in the Gu world, that was because when the Gu Master transforms into a current, he might suffer heavy injuries or even die when hit by a fire path Gu worm.
3187
3188But Fang Yuan was not using this Gu to battle, it was to enter Water Pavilion, it was more convenient than using the killer move to transform into a water spirit.
3189
3190With a 'swoosh', Fang Yuan turned into a current and rushed towards Water Pavilion.
3191
3192The pavilion was neither big nor small, it had three layers. It had a rustic flare to it, as the materials used were very ancient, having furniture and drawings.
3193
3194Once Fang Yuan entered, he kept the current charge Gu and went to the third floor, pushing open a door to find the early stage Immortal Gu.
3195
3196Only to see that this early stage Immortal Gu was like a thumb-sized cocoon. It was inside a large red bowl at the moment.
3197
3198This bowl was larger than a water tank, the edges were uneven, looking like a shark's teeth.
3199
3200Inside, there was some blue liquid that was oozing with coldness.
3201
3202"So that's it."
3203
3204Fang Yuan realized at once.
3205
3206Although the four steps allowed the refinement of the early stage of the Immortal Gu, the Gu was still not complete.
3207
3208It needed to further nurture and grow.
3209
3210The mysterious Gu Immortal placed the Water Pavilion here in order to give the early stage Immortal Gu a good place to nurture itself.
3211
3212There were some words on the large red bowl.
3213
3214Fang Yuan looked at them and even with his knowledge, he could only decipher a portion of them.
3215
3216"These are inkman characters, legend says that the splashes of literature water on Book Mountain in Qian Kun Crystal Wall created the first written characters in this world!"
3217
3218These characters had been lost long ago. Even inkmen barely knew them after being chased out of Book Mountain.
3219
3220"The Gu Immortals in treasure yellow heaven must have some research materials regarding the inkman language. After all, many Gu Immortals are interested in Book Mountain, they have been searching for the grey-white stone slab in order to recreate Qian Kun Crystal Wall."
3221
3222Fang Yuan had a thought and immediately contacted little Hu Immortal.
3223
3224The value of Hu Immortal blessed land was displayed again, it allowed a mortal like Fang Yuan to use the precious resource of mobilizing Gu Immortals.
3225
3226The price was hefty, but after exchanging for some information regarding inkman language, Fang Yuan deciphered the words on this bowl on the spot.
3227
3228The result made Fang Yuan become shocked and excited: "So this inheritance was created by Mo Yao!"
3229
3230This Mo Yao was a brilliant person, the thirty-sixth generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House. She had a special identity, she was an inkman.
3231
3232But eventually, she broke the limits of her race, and became a rank seven Gu Immortal.
3233
3234She made tremendous contributions to the righteous path, and used her love to reform a huge demonic character ten thousand years ago, Sword Demon Bo Qing.
3235
3236Bo Qing was a lone cultivator, he had a lowly start but his talent was superb, he created sword path Gu worms singlehandedly, and roamed the five regions without any obstruction or anyone that could match him.
3237
3238He was among the most brilliant rank eight peak stage experts in history. He had great battle strength that shook the heavens, his sword path Gu worms were innovative and special, they had great strength. He was known as 'the pseudo-Immortal Venerable who split the five regions with his sword, it was fortunate for the people in the world that love changed him'.
3239
3240It meant that: This person had great battle strength, only inferior to the Immortal and Demon Venerables of each era. Thankfully, because of love, he changed from demonic to righteous, it was truly a fortunate thing for all life in this world!
3241
3242Back then, Bo Qing was even a hot favorite for the person to advance to rank nine.
3243
3244But eventually, he failed when trying to get to rank nine and turned into ashes. As his wife, Mo Yao resisted with her life, and eventually died with him.
3245
3246"In history, Mo Yao was a true refinement grandmaster. No wonder… back then when Giant Sun Immortal Venerable recruited concubines, the ten central continent sects provided beautiful female Gu Masters. Among them, Spirit Affinity House sent numerous female Gu Immortals into the palaces, as an offering to the Immortal Venerable. Between the concubines that gained Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's favor, a few were from Spirit Affinity House.
3247
3248As an insider, it was no wonder that her understanding of the sacred palace and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building greatly surpassed ordinary people.
3249
3250Mo Yao was the thirty-sixth generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House, she was naturally nurtured fully by Spirit Affinity House, it was easy for her to investigate the hidden secrets about Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3251
3252The origin of the Water Pavilion here could be explained as such.
3253
3254In the inkman words, this Immortal Gu's information was written —
3255
3256Calamity beckoning Gu!

3270
3271
3272
3273
3274The corners of Fang Yuan's lips curled up into a smile as he read the ink text on the sides of the bowl.
3275
3276This calamity beckoning Gu was a rank seven Immortal Gu, a rank higher than Fang Yuan's Spring Autumn Cicada. Its ability was extremely strange, actually involving the matter of earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations.
3277
3278The middle section of the ink text explained its ability in detail. When a Gu Immortal goes through calamity and invokes disaster, calamity beckoning Gu could detach the earthly calamity and heavenly tribulation from the original target, and draw them to oneself.
3279
3280Fang Yuan's expression could not help but become strange.
3281
3282Such an Immortal Gu, who would dare to use it?
3283
3284What terrifying and destructive strength did earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations have, how terrifying was its heavenly power? Instead of spending one's days to their heart's content, using calamity beckoning Gu to attract these earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations, wasn't this seeking one's own doom?
3285
3286Gu Immortal Mo Yao was the thirty-sixth generation fairy of the grand Spirit Affinity House, why would she refine an Immortal Gu like this?
3287
3288The last section of the ink text provided the reason.
3289
3290It turned out she was really courting death!
3291
3292Back then when she and Bo Qing were deeply in love, they were a famous couple of the righteous path and a romantic tale of their story spread throughout the five regions.
3293
3294Sword Immortal Bo Qing had outstanding talent with no opponents that matched him in the whole world; he was well known as 'the pseudo-Immortal Venerable who split the five regions with his sword, it was fortunate for the people in the world that love changed him'.
3295
3296Even in the whole wide world, looking at his entire life, the only thing in front of him was the one supreme goal of breaking through to rank nine.
3297
3298However, challenging the rank nine barrier was extremely dangerous, even the grand Sword Immortal had a feeling that he was walking on thin ice and only had a fifteen percent chance of success at most.
3299
3300Bo Qing's ambition was lofty, vowing to reach the apex that was rank nine. Mo Yao persuaded him in vain, and as such, she could only tearfully make preparations to assist him.
3301
3302Bo Qing set up his inheritances and arranged for future events. His first attempt of breaking through failed; he was left in a state of heavy injuries for seventy years, bedridden the whole time without being able to even budge, his everyday life was all taken care of by Mo Yao.
3303
3304After his injuries got better, Bo Qing once again desired to break through to rank nine.
3305
3306Mo Yao knew the difficulty level of this, especially during the final trial of breaking through to rank nine when limitless earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations would descend. Bo Qing might have terrifying battle strength but he lacked the sustainability to endure through the trial.
3307
3308To help her husband, she secretly betrayed her sect and started to make plans towards Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3309
3310Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the famous setup created by an Immortal Venerable and the skillful Long Hair Ancestor, the number one Immortal Gu house in the world. Mo Yao had already started her research on it a long time ago and had gained much insight from it which helped her to deepen her grandmaster refinement path attainment.
3311
3312She might be a variant human and did not have Giant Sun's bloodline, but Spirit Affinity House had provided many outstanding girls to Giant Sun to become his concubines during his time. Among them, several female Gu Immortals had gained Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's favor.
3313
3314Thus, Spirit Affinity House was able to obtain many secrets of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable which included detailed information on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3315
3316Mo Yao was able to learn of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's secret from these resources.
3317
3318Imperial Court blessed land was situated at the exact center of northern plains, the space inside was as vast as a world and the time was separated into day and night as well, the good fortune in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was extremely deep. Thus, at every set interval of time, it would attract extremely powerful earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations.
3319
3320Giant Sun Immortal Venerable considered this point and placed a 'divert disaster Gu' when setting up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building which was an important cornerstone of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3321
3322This Gu was a rank seven Immortal Gu and was one of the essence of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path; it could divert the earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations in Imperial Court blessed land to the outside world. Because of this, the earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations formed into the ten year blizzard disaster that spread over the entire northern plains.
3323
3324Conversely, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable used this ten year blizzard disaster to set up a rule which formed into the tradition of the Imperial Court contest.
3325
3326Mo Yao discovered a loophole that was not strictly a loophole in this point.
3327
3328Originally, Imperial Court blessed land co-existed with Eighty-Eight True Yang Building in symbiosis, and as such, every ten years, there would be vast and powerful earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations. At this time, Imperial Court blessed land would open up a small crack in accordance to divert disaster Gu, to send out the earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations.
3329
3330Imperial Court blessed land was set by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable to only allow mortals to enter or exit and did not allow the entry of Gu Immortals. But at the time when it had to divert disaster, there would be a hidden crack in Imperial Court blessed land from which the calamities and tribulations would rush out like a flood, and at this time the setup that prevents Gu Immortals from entering would be ineffective.
3331
3332Mo Yao used this small crack and risked her very life in going against the calamities and tribulations to enter Imperial Court blessed land.
3333
3334She spent close to ten years investigating inside the blessed land and after suffering countless hardships, she was able to find the crucial node through her grandmaster refinement path attainment -—it was the small tower at Di Qiu area.
3335
3336Next, she risked the danger of awakening Giant Sun's will and destroyed this small tower, using the backward flow of the heavenly power to sense divert disaster Gu and create a cave that would foster 'calamity beckoning Gu'.
3337
3338After she succeeded in refining the early stage of the Immortal Gu, she set up the Immortal Gu house Water Pavilion in this nameless valley.
3339
3340Inside the pavilion, Mo Yao completely nurtured the early stage Immortal Gu to its completed form and brought the calamity beckoning Gu outside secretly using the chance when the blessed land was diverting disaster.
3341
3342She did not destroy all these arrangements just in case of any accidents. If Bo Qing failed in his breakthrough again and calamity beckoning Gu was also destroyed in earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations, then she would have to enter the blessed land again to refine calamity beckoning Gu.
3343
3344However, she never returned after this.
3345
3346Sword Immortal Bo Qing's second attempt at breaking through to rank nine failed completely and he was turned into ashes by the vast heavenly tribulations. As for Mo Yao, she perished alongside him.
3347
3348"So it was like that. Breaking through to rank nine involves numerous difficulties and dangers. Mo Yao set up this inheritance secretly beforehand but did not explain the true content of the inheritance; it was because this action was betraying the sect. But she still left the preceding clues for the sect in the end. In my previous life, central continent's Gu Immortals schemed against Imperial Court blessed land and destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building by using the clues she had left behind." As Fang Yuan recalled now, he immediately had a feeling of the fog dispersing in his mind and everything had gotten an explanation.
3349
3350There was a poem left at the ending of the ink text —
3351
3352*The long immortal path is filled with obstacles; encounters occur at faraway places.*
3353
3354*Too long has passed, emotions and hatred have already lasted for a long time.*
3355
3356*My lord thinks about the apex of immortality, while I think of his safety.*
3357
3358*Life and death are separated, I will support my lord's dreams.*
3359
3360This was clearly Mo Yao's work.
3361
3362The path of a Gu Immortal is long and filled with difficulties, however I was fortunate enough to meet with my lord.
3363
3364Unknowingly, emotions and hatred tangled, and I was unable to free myself.
3365
3366Lord's sight was focused on the limit of the immortal path, while my gaze was on my lord himself.
3367
3368The attempt of breaking through to rank nine was a near death situation. I was not willing to be separated with him by life and death, so all I could do was to help my lord realize his dream in my own way!
3369
3370To protect her love, to help Bo Qing walk to the peak of a Gu Immortal, Mo Yao was willing to sacrifice herself, using calamity beckoning Gu to draw the earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations to herself.
3371
3372"A strange woman…" Fang Yuan sighed.
3373
3374Although he would absolute not make such a sacrifice because of love, it did not hinder Fang Yuan from understanding such a person.
3375
3376It was to the extent where his understanding of this was deeper than others.
3377
3378Humans that live in this world had desires, they had their goals and meanings in life.
3379
3380Mo Yao's goal was her lover. Fang Yuan's goal was to chase eternal life.
3381
3382The different desires, different goals and different meanings forged all kinds of lives in this huge world to create heroes that had their own independent character.
3383
3384Fang Yuan's gaze fell towards the center of the giant vermillion bowl.
3385
3386The cocoon had already burst open and calamity beckoning Gu had already completely formed. Its shape was like a silkworm cocoon with a grey body and the size of a little finger. It was currently moving up and down in the water.
3387
3388Calamity beckoning Gu was a genuine self sacrifice Gu and was used to abandon oneself for others.
3389
3390This Gu seemed to have no use to Fang Yuan, but in fact still had an enormous value.
3391
3392First of all, it was an Immortal Gu. Even if he did not use it, he could exchange it for an enormous amount of immortal essence stones in treasure yellow heaven.
3393
3394Secondly, it was a luck path Gu that was able to attract earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations. Calamities and tribulations were powerful, but as long as one was strong and tough enough, then they could use it in a unique way to harm others.
3395
3396Finally, it was formed by borrowing the strength of one of the cornerstones of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building — Divert Disaster Gu. It and divert disaster Gu could be said to be two sides of the same coin; one attracted calamities while the other diverted disaster. This connection would provide huge assistance to Fang Yuan's plans in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3397
3398However, even though there was a connection to it in his heart, there was a condition before Fang Yuan could completely subdue this Gu.
3399
3400Mo Yao had mentioned it in detail in the ink text on the side of the bowl.
3401
3402There was a necessary condition to subdue calamity beckoning Gu. It did not matter whether it was a mortal or immortal, but they had to have the heart of self sacrifice.
3403
3404If they did not have the heart to sacrifice themselves and forcibly tried to subdue calamity beckoning Gu, in the best case, it would lead to a backlash from the Immortal Gu; and in the most serious case, the Immortal Gu would self-destruct and cause harm to the Gu Master's life.
3405
3406In the Water Pavilion, Fang Yuan stood in front of the giant bowl, with no expression on his face.
3407
3408Heart of self sacrifice, did he have it? 　　...
3409
3410"Cough cough cough." Tang Miao Ming covered her lips with a handkerchief, her beautiful brows furrowing deeply in pain.
3411
3412"Big sister!" Tang tribe's third young master Tang Fang called out from the side with a lamenting expression.
3413
3414Tang Miao Ming was lying back in bed; she waved her hand to indicate Tang Fang to not worry.
3415
3416Tang Fang heaved a deep sigh as he looked at the blood on the handkerchief: "Big sister, why did you risk your life? What good is there in passing this round? Father and the others have already passed away, you are my only relative left, what would I do if anything happened to you?"
3417
3418Tang Miao Ming lightly caressed Tang Fang's hair: "Third brother, you are our Tang tribe's tribe leader, you should not be lacking in ambition. Our Tang tribe had suffered heavily in this Imperial Court contest and was almost swallowed by other tribes. Now is a very rare opportunity, we need to use Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to make our tribe prosper again."
3419
3420Tang Fang pouted in a nonchalant manner: "But big sister, you suffered heavy injuries by trying to force your way through the round, the gains do not make up for the losses. I have been very distressed because of this and had no mood to manage the tribe's affairs these days."
3421
3422"What?" Tang Miao Ming's expression turned solemn and she stared at Tang Fang sharply.
3423
3424Without any hesitation, she reprimanded him: "Tribe leader Tang Fang, you have a heavy responsibility upon you, how could you still have the sentiments of a child? Reviving the tribe is your duty, it is the meaning of being the leader of a tribe. From now on, I do not want to hear you complain like this ever again, do you understand?"
3425
3426"Big... big sister, I was wrong." Tang Fang immediately stood up from the edge of the bed and lowered his head to admit his mistake with an ashamed expression. His big sister was the one who loved him the most since young.
3427
3428Tang Miao Ming's gaze gradually softened, sighing faintly: "Third brother, I know your nature, you like travelling and want to be free from this duty, to live a life without any restraints. But you are the last man in our family, you should be brave enough to assume this responsibility. From now on, the meaning of your life will be to revitalize the tribe, do you understand?"
3429
3430"Big sister is right, I understand. Don't get angry big sister, you are still injured."
3431
3432Tang Miao Ming said in a solemn tone: "After returning, copy the first section of chapter three of <> ten times."
3433
3434Tang Fang's heart was immediately filled with warmth.
3435
3436Since young, his big sister's punishment to him was to make him copy books.
3437
3438"Big sister, take a good rest, I will go copy it now."
3439
3440<>, chapter three, first section —
3441
3442Ren Zu's second daughter Desolate Ancient Moon climbed Cheng Bai mountain and searched for success Gu to rescue her father from the door of life and death.
3443
3444But at the final juncture, she failed and lost her sense of self, becoming an ugly and powerful monster.
3445
3446Without his daughter to rescue him, and his eldest son Verdant Great Sun still addicted and dejected, Ren Zu was trapped in Luo Po valley, unable to return to life.
3447
3448Luo Po valley was like a giant maze, its paths twisted and turned. Occasionally, boundless bewilderment fog would spread and cause the soul to slacken; and occasionally, Luo Po wind that was as sharp as a knife would blow and cut down souls.
3449
3450Ren Zu had a spiritual body now and was unable to find the way out of the bewilderment fog. His soul was cut down by Luo Po wind, becoming weaker and weaker, and the situation turned even more dangerous.
3451
3452The soul fragments cut down by Luo Po wind started to converge gradually and turned into a youth.
3453
3454Like this, Ren Zu's third son was born.
3455
3456He was Northern Dark Ice Soul.
3457
3458"My son, thank you for your company. I do not have much time left, having you to accompany me in my final days, father did not have to feel lonely." Ren Zu sighed with deep emotions.
3459
3460Northern Dark Ice Soul had a cold appearance but was warm-hearted, and although he did not speak much, he was very filial to Ren Zu. And as he looked at Ren Zu growing weaker and weaker every day, his mood also became heavier.
3461
3462He decided to rescue Ren Zu.
3463
3464Ren Zu sensed his determination, and felt both happiness and heartache: "Don't be worried my son, I know of your filial heart, I now understand that life and death cannot be forced. Humans will die in the end, this is our fate."
3465
3466Northern Dark Ice Soul said in a sobbing tone: "Father, I know your words are right. I also know my efforts might be in vain. But looking at you growing weaker like this, if I do not make an effort, my heart will feel even more pain. Let me do something for you."
3467
3468Ren Zu sighed and could only let him go.
3469
3470Northern Dark Ice Soul wandered in the vast Luo Po valley; he was born here, as such, Luo Po wind could not cut down his soul and the bewilderment fog could not obstruct his vision.
3471
3472He searched bitterly but could not find the exit.
3473
3474Right as he was becoming more desperate, he came across a Gu worm.
3475
3476"Well, well, to think I would be discovered by you." This Gu was like a ladybug with a chubby spherical body, but it was extremely agile and was flashing around Northern Dark Ice Soul's body.
3477
3478Northern Dark Ice Soul's eyes brightened as he asked in curiosity: "What Gu are you?"
3479
3480"I am known as unexpected." This Gu worm replied.
3481
3482Northern Dark Ice Soul's gaze dimmed down: "So you are unexpected Gu, it is a pity you are not success Gu."
3483
3484Unexpected Gu sneered: "Young man, do not look down on me. I have a love-hate relation with success Gu. The strength of unexpectedness is very powerful. Do you know what your encounter with me here represents?"
3485
3486"What?"
3487
3488Unexpected Gu shook its chubby body and said proudly: "What kind of place is this? This is Luo Po valley, a death realm. You being here means you are already dead. But by encountering me, you have come across an unexpected event in 'death' - that is 'life'. Grab me, I will take you out to the human world and you can be resurrected again."
3489
3490"Really?" Northern Dark Ice Soul was exulted, "Can I bring my father along?"
3491
3492Unexpected Gu shook its head: "It is you who encountered me, not your father, so I can only take you."
3493
3494Northern Dark Ice Soul was extremely disappointed, refusing: "Since I cannot take my father with me, then I will not go. I will accompany my father till his final moment."
3495
3496Unexpected Gu laughed loudly and spoke in a domineering tone: "Unexpectedness in life is beyond your control. Young man, you must come with me!"
3497
3498The moment it finished speaking, unexpected Gu forcibly took Northern Dark Ice Soul and instantly left life and death door, arriving in the human world.
3499
3500Northern Dark Ice Soul obtained flesh body and was feeling extremely bewildered facing this vast world alone.
3501
3502Unexpected Gu disappeared. He suddenly remembered Ren Zu once saying he had an elder sister who was called Desolate Ancient Moon.
3503
3504At this moment, cognition Gu took the initiative to find him: "Young man, do not be suspicious, cognition has always been the friend of humans, I am here to help you."
3505
3506Cognition Gu told Northern Dark Ice Soul about Cheng Bai mountain and also the events detailing Desolate Ancient Moon.
3507
3508Northern Dark Ice Soul decided to first see his elder sister.
3509
3510When he saw Desolate Ancient Moon, his tears fell in sadness.
3511
3512Northern Dark Ice Soul tried to converse with Desolate Ancient Moon, but Desolate Ancient Moon who had turned into a monster kept on repeating questions.
3513
3514"Where is this?"
3515
3516Northern Dark Ice Soul thought for a while and answered: "This is the human world, living beings can move about here. Above us is the heavens and below our feet is earth."
3517
3518"Who am I?" Desolate Ancient Moon asked again.
3519
3520"You are a human, Ren Zu's second child, your name is Desolate Ancient Moon. You are my elder sister." Northern Dark Ice Soul replied.
3521
3522"Elder sister, wake up quickly. Our father is trapped in Luo Po valley, dying, we need to resurrect him soon."
3523
3524"Ren Zu? Desolate Ancient Moon? Resurrect?" The monster shook its head, extremely puzzled, "Why should I resurrect him? Could it be that humans should not die? What disadvantage is there in death? Why do humans live? Why do I live?"
3525
3526This time, Northern Dark Ice Soul was not able to answer.
3527
3528Why do people live?
3529
3530As Northern Dark Ice Soul pondered over this question, bewilderment Gu quietly approached him, making him lose his sense of the surroundings.
3531
3532Subsequently, love Gu and disguise Gu also approached him.
3533
3534Cognition Gu felt a big headache when it saw them. These several Gu were famous for their mischief and would often move together, even cognition Gu did not want to provoke them.
3535
3536"Love, have you not harmed enough people? Why are you not letting them go?" Cognition Gu sighed.
3537
3538"Don't try to speak reason with me, I am completely unreasonable." Love Gu said in a unruly tone, "Get lost, cognition, I do not like you."
3539
3540Cognition Gu could only leave helplessly.
3541
3542"Another human came again? Haha!" Love Gu was extremely happy when it saw Northern Dark Ice Soul, because it had another target to play with.
3543
3544It and disguise Gu were sworn brothers, and on the spot, it used disguise Gu's power to disguise as cognition Gu.
3545
3546"Young man, your elder sister has lost herself. If you want to save her, you need to find meaning Gu."
3547
3548Northern Dark Ice Soul regained his senses and asked love Gu without doubting: "I have seen unexpected Gu, please tell me where this meaning Gu is? How should I look for it?"
3549
3550Love Gu deceived him in a serious tone: "Oh human, you should know, there is a meaning to why you are all living in this world. As long as you find meaning Gu, your elder sister can awaken. Follow the direction I point towards and keep moving forward, you will eventually find meaning Gu."
3551
3552Northern Dark Ice Soul expressed his gratitude before immediately setting off.
3553
3554Love, bewilderment and disguise Gu guffawed as they looked at his receding figure.
3555
3556In this world, how could there be a meaning Gu?
3557
3558There was simply no such Gu, Northern Dark Ice Soul would, as such, not find it no matter how much he searched for it.
3559
3560"Fool, who told you all to anger me? I will let you guys know how terrifying the punishment of love can be! From now on, let's follow him and toy with him in turns."
3561
3562Love Gu's proposal was approved by the other two Gu.
3563
3564Thereupon, the three Gu played tricks on Northern Dark Ice Soul in turns, he suffered so much that words could not describe it. But to find this non-existent meaning Gu, he kept on persevering.
3565
3566Such spirit moved cognition Gu. And when love Gu was not present, cognition Gu approached Northern Dark Ice Soul to help him.
3567
3568"Cognition, what are you doing? We are having a great time." Bewilderment Gu and disguise Gu were extremely displeased with cognition.
3569
3570Cognition Gu laughed: "I am afraid of love, but I am not afraid of you two. Young man, use my strength to come to your senses."
3571
3572Northern Dark Ice Soul used cognition Gu's power to realize the truth; he was no longer bewildered and he had seen through the disguise.
3573
3574Bewilderment Gu and disguise Gu could only leave in defeat.
3575
3576Northern Dark Ice Soul expressed gratitude to cognition Gu: "Thank you cognition Gu. Because of you, I have thought of a way to save elder sister."
3577
3578"Eh? What way is that?"
3579
3580"In this world, there is indeed no meaning Gu. But why can't I create a meaning Gu?" Northern Dark Ice Soul replied confidently.
3581
3582Human life might have no meaning, but they could give a meaning to it.
3583
3584Northern Dark Ice Soul came back to Desolate Ancient Moon's side and personally created a meaning Gu and pressed it into Desolate Ancient Moon's head.
3585
3586"The meaning in my life is to search for success Gu and resurrect father! I understand now, I get it!" Desolate Ancient Moon's eyes brightened. 　　...
3587
3588"Meaning in life huh..." Tang Fang put down his brush.
3589
3590It was late at night, warm silver light covered the land in Imperial Court blessed land.
3591
3592He was deeply moved after repeatedly copying the book.
3593
3594"People will feel bewildered as they live in this world. But as long as they can find their meaning in life, they will find their direction and be able to move forward bravely. At the same time, they will also understand what they want to do and what they do not want to do, and they will not be afraid of sacrifice. Big sister's intent in making me copy the book should be this."
3595
3596He lightly pushed open the window and looked at the beautiful and dazzling sacred palace, thinking of the variety of people in it, some were strong, some were weak.
3597
3598His mood gradually uplifted: "Every person's life has all sort of meaning. And the meaning of my life is to lead the tribe towards prosperity!" 　　...
3599
3600At the same time, in Water Pavilion.
3601
3602"A heart of self sacrifice?" The corners of Fang Yuan's lips curled up into a lofty smile.
3603
3604Without any hesitation, he moved his hand towards the giant bowl and directly picked up the calamity beckoning Gu.
3605
3606As it absorbed his aura, calamity beckoning Gu's body flashed with radiance and soon became Fang Yuan's possession. The whole process was extremely smooth with not the least bit of tremor and backlash.
3607
3608With the identity of a transmigrator and the experience gained in the five hundred years in his past life, Fang Yuan had already seen through life and death; familial feelings, friendship and love were not any his interests.
3609
3610Only eternal life, this majestic and unattainable target, could make the journey of his life become more interesting.
3611
3612This was the meaning he gave to this life!
3613
3614Pursuing eternal life did not mean he was afraid of death or afraid of failure.
3615
3616He calmly accepted death and failure.
3617
3618Whether eternal life existed or not, there was no evidence to prove it.
3619
3620But even if it did not exist, so what?
3621
3622Fang Yuan enjoyed the process. In the process of pursuing eternal life, he found his meaning and felt that this life was quite interesting.
3623
3624The lowly lust and desires of his body, satisfaction of love and hatred, he was already tired of them.
3625
3626Only eternal life was worthy of being his target to pursue.
3627
3628"As a result, the necessary resolve to sacrifice, I already have it." Fang Yuan's gaze shone eerily as he played around with the rank seven Immortal Gu in his hand.

3637Chapter 568: Mo Yao’s Will ###
3638
3639Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
3640
3641
3642
3643
3644Fang Yuan carefully observed calamity beckoning Gu.
3645
3646This Gu was a rank seven Immortal Gu and after going through the nurturing process in the giant vermillion bowl, it had already completely formed.
3647
3648It was the size of a little finger, was completely grey and looked very delicate like a silkworm cocoon.
3649
3650As Fang Yuan played with it and calamity beckoning Gu continued to absorb his aura, he could sense that the connection in the depths of his mind with calamity beckoning Gu was deepening further.
3651
3652Ripples appeared in Fang Yuan's heart.
3653
3654It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
3655
3656In his previous life, he had suffered untold difficulties and slaughtered many lives to refine a rank six Spring Autumn Cicada. And now with the advantage of his rebirth, he had yet to become a hundred years old but had already obtained calamity beckoning Gu which was a rank higher than Spring Autumn Cicada.
3657
3658Although the use of calamity beckoning Gu was extremely peculiar, offering oneself as a sacrifice by attracting earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations, Fang Yuan believed firmly that the use of a Gu depended on the wits of the Gu Master.
3659
3660Like Chainsaw Golden Centipede which would be used in a different manner in the future by a rank four mortal Gu Master 'Chainsaw Mad Demon'. So, why would Fang Yuan not be able to create new uses for calamity beckoning Gu?
3661
3662"Not speaking of other things, just the existence of calamity beckoning Gu proves that the legendary luck path truly exists."
3663
3664Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was extremely lucky his whole life and it was rumored that this was because he had created unique luck path Gu worms.
3665
3666However, there had never been conclusive evidence regarding this rumor.
3667
3668Now, Fang Yuan was holding calamity beckoning Gu, a luck path Gu; an Immortal Gu refined by refinement path grandmaster Mo Yao by interaction with the divert disaster Gu of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3669
3670Divert disaster Gu and calamity beckoning Gu were luck path Gu worms.
3671
3672The ink text in the bowl was a very strong piece of evidence.
3673
3674Mo Yao even directly wrote in the ink text that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path Gu worms could steal other people's good luck and transfer it to himself, and could also transfer his bad luck over, bringing trouble to others.
3675
3676As a complete path, luck path also had a methodical structure, including aspects of offense, defense, movement, healing and others. It was only that what it targeted was the incorporeal and formless luck which everyone possessed.
3677
3678After Giant Sun Immortal Venerable innovated the luck path, he kept it hidden and made great profits without making any commotion.
3679
3680"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable stole luck wantonly and with his death, the luck thief had finally perished." Mo Yao poured her feelings in the text, this strange woman had quite a temperament, daring to criticize an Immortal Venerable like this.
3681
3682She even speculated Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path inheritance was very likely to be in the treasure room of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
3683
3684"If I can obtain this inheritance, could I duplicate Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's success?" Fang Yuan's heart thumped in excitement.
3685
3686He pondered for a while before placing calamity beckoning Gu in the giant vermilion bowl again.
3687
3688Although calamity beckoning Gu had completely taken form, Fang Yuan could not refine it.
3689
3690The connection between them had thickened to the extreme, but there was still a gap before he could truly become the master of calamity beckoning Gu.
3691
3692Fang Yuan was still a mortal currently and did not have immortal essence to refine it.
3693
3694This situation was different from when he refined fixed immortal travel Gu.
3695
3696At three kings blessed land, he was able to refine fixed immortal travel Gu with the assistance of the land spirit, he was the leading refiner. Thus when fixed immortal travel Gu was born, it became his Gu. But he could not use it, and if not for the land spirit's help, Fang Yuan would not have been able to travel to Hu Immortal blessed land.
3697
3698The whole process of refining calamity beckoning Gu, however, was done through the backflow of the heavenly power of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, Fang Yuan was an assistant at best; this was already extremely great considering he did not have the help of a land spirit.
3699
3700"I can only truly refine it when I become a Gu Immortal. Before that, I can only leave it here."
3701
3702Without advancing to Gu Immortal, there would be no immortal aperture to store calamity beckoning Gu. If it was brought out openly, the Immortal Gu aura would spread which was sure to attract countless coveting people.
3703
3704Fang Yuan was not worried about Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the others; he had many wolf groups now and his strength path cultivation was also sufficient.
3705
3706What he was worried about was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will in Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
3707
3708Previously, the Immortal Gu was in its early form and had a weak aura, but now it had already taken shape, so if it was brought out, it might stir up Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will and awaken it.
3709
3710Fang Yuan was not willing to take that risk, more so when his main plan had yet to be completed; he needed to keep on hiding and waiting.
3711
3712"Who would think that this nameless valley holds a rank seven Immortal Gu? But for now, I should first refine a part of this Water Pavilion before leaving." Fang Yuan pondered.
3713
3714Water Pavilion was a famous Immortal Gu house. It looked like Fang Yuan was overestimating himself by trying to refine it as a mortal, but this attempt was greatly feasible.
3715
3716Even the formidable Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had a crack, allowing Fang Yuan to study it in-depth. While Water Pavilion was now a ownerless object, it could naturally be easily exploited.
3717
3718But to talk about this, we need to know about the inherent nature of Gu houses.
3719
3720What is a Gu house?
3721
3722Not mentioning Fang Yuan's past life, after the rebirth alone, he had encountered many Gu houses.
3723
3724The most common among them included the Gu house three star cave. It would turn into a seed when it was collected. After planting the seed, it would grow into an enormous hollow tree with three floors.
3725
3726There was lizard house Gu with the appearance of a lizard, sporting different colors. Its eyes were windows and its mouth was the door; it could move by its own will.
3727
3728There was also the mushroom forest Gu house which was formed by planting a large number of mush room Gu. Many mushroom houses would form into a courtyard.
3729
3730These were mortal Gu, there were also Immortal Gu houses like Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and Water Pavilion.
3731
3732There were too many complicated Gu houses to talk about in their development till this day. But if one were to investigate their origin, the publicly recognized founders were the seven Lui Gui siblings.
3733
3734These seven were demonic Gu Masters of the olden antiquity era, they were born as septuplets, and from birth to death, they moved together.
3735
3736They were experts in defence and each of them was a rank five peak stage Gu Master. They also had a defensive killer move formed by combining their strength called 'turtle house'. Relying on this move, they were able to defend against three attacks from a Gu Immortal, establishing a tale called 'three moves pact' in history.
3737
3738And this turtle house was the first Gu house in Gu Master history!
3739
3740Thus, basically speaking, Gu houses were killer moves formed by the combination and solidification of ten or more various kinds of Gu worms.
3741
3742Mushroom forest Gu house was a model example. It was a courtyard formed by the gathering of large numbers of mush room Gu.
3743
3744Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the apex of examples, possessing the ability to defend, gather, store and other effects. It was formed by countless small towers, divert disaster Gu being one of the main cornerstones. Sacrificing the gathered wild Gu, it created a power that would form the main body.
3745
3746There was also White Bone Chariot.
3747
3748Back then, Proud Bone Demon Lord Shen Jie Ao had outstanding and shocking talent. When he became a rank six Gu Immortal, he lacked a rank six Gu. So he came up with a killer move known as White Bone Chariot.
3749
3750The White Bone Chariot was formed from many rank five Gu, such as the White Bone Wheel, and had power comparable to a rank six Gu!
3751
3752This White Bone Chariot was actually a Gu house!
3753
3754As for three star cave, lizard house and large lizard house, they were all branches developed from simplified forms of Gu houses.
3755
3756Normal Gu houses were formed from the combination of several Gu worms. As three star cave and the others were formed from just one Gu, thus their might was greatly reduced and became commonly used Gu houses.
3757
3758Water Pavilion was a rank seven Immortal Gu house, this signified there was at least one rank seven Immortal Gu among the Gu worms used to create it!
3759
3760"With my current level, I cannot refine Immortal Gu. But refining the mortal Gu is still possible."
3761
3762This was where Fang Yuan's confidence in refining Water Pavilion lay in.
3763
3764There were not many difficulties during the refining process.
3765
3766Water Pavilion was one of the symbols of Spirit Affinity House, wielded by Fairy Mo Yao back then.
3767
3768Mo Yao betrayed the sect for her love and refined calamity beckoning Gu, sacrificing herself. This Immortal Gu house thus became ownerless.
3769
3770As such, to Fang Yuan, Water Pavilion was like a little beauty that had its arms wide open and he was free to play with it.
3771
3772"Amazing, there were actually no less than three thousand Gu worms used in the assembly of Water Pavilion. And every Gu worm was closely interrelated and had a faint resonance between them. The core was rank seven Water Harmony Gu which allows the Gu Master to completely merge and hide in water; as long as the water was not extinguished, they won't die. Besides this, there were also two assisting Immortal Gu - rank six movement Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace and wisdom path Immortal Gu Delight in Water and Mountain."
3773
3774The process of refining was in fact, the process of deepening his understanding of Water Pavilion.
3775
3776Refining an Immortal Gu was far beyond Fang Yuan's ability, so there was no need to attempt it in vain. What he could make a move on were the rank one and rank two mortal Gu.
3777
3778Fang Yuan spent six hours in refinement till he was dizzy, completely refining five hundred rank one and rank two mortal Gu.
3779
3780"I now have ten percent control over Water Pavilion. Even if someone discovers it, this ten percent of authority will be able to block them for a while. This time will be enough for me to be alerted and rush here in time."
3781
3782He refined for another two hours and increased his control authority to thirteen percent.
3783
3784The difficulty of the refinement continued to increase at the later stages.
3785
3786"Unfortunately, I have Spring Autumn Cicada which is like a ticking time bomb. I cannot use time path's instant success Gu and other Gu to help me in the refining process, otherwise my progress would not be just this."
3787
3788Fang Yuan felt his head spinning and knew he had already reached the limit. The primeval essence in his two rank five peak stage apertures was also almost exhausted.
3789
3790But just when he thought of pulling away, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
3791
3792"After such a long time, I finally meet the fated one today."
3793
3794Following the indistinct sigh, the graceful figure of a woman with a slim body, shining dark eyes, and a veil covering her face, appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
3795
3796"This is Fairy Mo Yao's will, when did it enter my mind?!" Fang Yuan was inwardly shocked.
3797
3798So much time had passed, Mo Yao was not a venerable but she was still able to leave behind her will, one could tell how strong a cultivation she had back then.
3799
3800Fang Yuan actually already had taken precautions, but Fairy Mo Yao clearly had some special methods that allowed her will to silently enter Fang Yuan's mind.
3801
3802Such an ability was not trivial.
3803
3804Mo Yao's will had entered Fang Yuan's mind, if she wanted to unceremoniously create difficulties for him, then Fang Yuan would absolutely have to suffer the consequences.
3805
3806Fang Yuan was not a wisdom path expert, only wisdom path Gu Masters had the power to subdue this kind of will.
3807
3808The most crucial thing was that when people pondered, their thoughts would first emerge. These thoughts would clash with each other in the brain and then transform, creating a new thought. This was the process of thinking.
3809
3810Now, Mo Yao's will had entered Fang Yuan's mind which meant she could hear all his thoughts clearly!
3811
3812What would happen once Mo Yao's will learned of Spring Autumn Cicada?
3813
3814"No need to be afraid, fated one, I have no intention of harming you. I only want to ask you a question." Mo Yao's will faintly asked.
3815
3816Fang Yuan did not even need to guess to know what she was going to ask. He told her about the fact of Bo Qing's defeat on the spot.
3817
3818When she heard this grievous news, Mo Yao's will shook to the point of collapsing!
3819
3820Fang Yuan was rejoicing covertly, but he had to be disappointed because Mo Yao's will was able to maintain her form in the end.
3821
3822Her dark as night eyes were filled with tears. Fairy Mo Yao's expression was extremely complex; there was sadness, but there was relief as well.
3823
3824Like she said in her poem *'too long has passed, emotions and hatred have already lasted for a long time'* , her love and hatred with Bo Qing was a long tale that was touching and deeply intertwined.
3825
3826"Fated one, since you can refine calamity beckoning Gu and also found this place and have begun refining Water Pavilion, you should already have a general understanding. Since he is already dead, then let everything go. Sigh… maybe this is the fortune of the living."
3827
3828Mo Yao's will paused before continuing: "I have already let down Spirit Affinity House, my only wish now is to return this Water Pavilion. As compensation, I will impart my life's refinement path attainment insights to you. Besides this, I will also tell you the secret information of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"

3837Chapter 569: Six Arm Heavenly Zombie King
3838
3839
3840
3841
3842The entire sacred palace was shrouded in an aurora.
3843
3844The light was dazzling and shone for the radius of a hundred li.
3845
3846Looking at the top of the sacred palace, two layers of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had already formed, huge numbers of people were entering and exiting daily.
3847
3848Retracting his gaze, Fang Yuan softly closed the windows.
3849
3850Half a month had passed since he refined calamity beckoning Gu and returned from the Water Pavilion.
3851
3852During this period, Hei Lou Lan opened up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and did not charge any fees, allowing people to enter as they wished.
3853
3854Eighty-Eight True Yang Building — Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's inheritance ground, it had incredible attraction to all Gu Masters.
3855
3856Countless Gu Masters with Giant Sun's bloodline entered like torrents of water, even if they could not get through, they wanted to observe the glory of the event.
3857
3858Especially after Eighty-Eight True Yang Building underwent a transformation and formed two layers, it triggered the people's desires to explore.
3859
3860As for outsiders, they could only enter using the guest token.
3861
3862The guest token was a one time expenditure item, it could only be obtained on occasion when getting through a round.
3863
3864Until now, there had only been seven guest tokens obtained. Each fetched an astronomical price, but it did not deter any of the expert Gu Masters who did not have Giant Sun's bloodline.
3865
3866Fang Yuan had the glass owner token now, he could freely enter and exit Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and even enter the treasure room. But in order to conceal himself, not long ago, he still paid a hefty price to buy a guest token.
3867
3868"Young man, I would advise you to prepare the ink transformation killer move that I taught you. That way, once you enter the central control hall, you would have less trouble."
3869
3870A female voice resounded in Fang Yuan's mind.
3871
3872It was none other than Fairy Mo Yao's will who had stealthily sneaked in.
3873
3874Fang Yuan heard this and frowned, in his heart he snorted and replied: "This killer move is too outdated. Some of the Gu worms have already disappeared, if I want to collect them now, it will take quite some effort, how can it be rushed?"
3875
3876Mo Yao's will laughed: "Young man, you are quite fortunate to have Hu Immortal blessed land. You should make good use of treasure yellow heaven, it is not hard to purchase these Gu worms."
3877
3878Fang Yuan frowned even more tightly.
3879
3880He deciphered the code and obtained Di Qiu inheritance, even successfully refining calamity beckoning Gu, but he also gained a huge problem known as Mo Yao's will.
3881
3882Mo Yao's will was now lurking inside his mind, it was a huge threat.
3883
3884When Fang Yuan thinks, thoughts would be generated.
3885
3886Mo Yao's will could read these thoughts and understand Fang Yuan's secrets.
3887
3888In half a month's time, she learnt about many of his secrets, including Hu Immortal blessed land.
3889
3890Right now, Fang Yuan could only use space thought Gu to think.
3891
3892Using space thought Gu as the main component, and other Gu worms to assist it, the thoughts formed had the power of space imbued in them, Mo Yao's will could not read them even if she caught them.
3893
3894But such a situation was only temporary.
3895
3896Will ruled above thoughts, Mo Yao's will was inside Fang Yuan's mind, after interacting with these space thoughts for a long time, she would become familiar with them, and this line of defense would not be able to stop her.
3897
3898"Young man, you are young but you have many secrets. Hehehe, really interesting." Mo Yao's will floated in the air, moving up and down.
3899
3900She laughed as she covered her mouth, her eyes were watery and her posture was alluring, she was truly a past generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House.
3901
3902After staying with Fang Yuan for a while, she became more active, and even more curious, her nature of wanting to probe people's secrets showed itself.
3903
3904Every generation of Spirit Affinity House's fairies was the cream of the crop, one out of ten thousand, she would be talented and beautiful, pure and elegant like a sacred lotus. But Mo Yao was different, her dark pupils contained some craftiness, if she was in the demonic path, she would definitely be a demoness.
3905
3906She created an illusory robe, covering her body while showing the contours, she looked at the bubble-like thoughts as she grabbed one of them.
3907
3908Next, she exerted strength and with a 'pop', this thought exploded with some force.
3909
3910But she did not gain anything, because this thought's content was two words, 'eating dinner'.
3911
3912She gasped lightly, her beautiful lips curving into an arousing angle: "Young man, you are not cute at all. Every time you think about something, you will make up all sorts of random thoughts to conceal the important points. Do you know that this will, in fact, make this big sister even more curious?"
3913
3914"Hmph, with your age, you have the face to call yourself big sister?" Fang Yuan snorted, threatening, "You are dead, you should rest in peace. Don't think that I cannot do anything to you now that you are in my mind. Who knows, I might make your will perish the next moment."
3915
3916"Hehehe, so scary…" Mo Yao patted her plump chest, laughing without any concern: "But during this half a month of time, you attacked me twenty-eight times using nineteen methods. Don't tell me, you are not only a strength-enslavement dual cultivator, but you also cultivate in wisdom path?"
3917
3918"Hmph!" Fang Yuan's heart was surging with killing intent.
3919
3920" Aiyaya 1  , young man, don't be like this." Feeling Fang Yuan's sharp killing intent, Mo Yao waved her fingers: "I am your benefactor, isn't calamity beckoning Gu your Immortal Gu now? You are still a mortal, it is an amazing accomplishment to have an Immortal Gu. Don't worry, don't worry, once you return this Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House, my wish would be fulfilled, and this will would no longer have any reason to exist."
3921
3922Return the rank seven Immortal Gu house Water Pavilion?
3923
3924The juicy meat had already entered Fang Yuan's mouth, why would he spit it out?
3925
3926Fang Yuan did not want to do so, obviously, but he had no other choices.
3927
3928Not mentioning the piece of Mo Yao's will in his mind, there was also a portion of Mo Yao's remnant will inside the Water Pavilion.
3929
3930That meant, this Mo Yao was quite impressive.
3931
3932History said that she was a refinement grandmaster. But in terms of wisdom path and soul path, it seems she was even more skilled in them. Fang Yuan's multitude of mental attacks were all easily dispelled by her.
3933
3934Fang Yuan had a huge headache now.
3935
3936Even though he obtained Di Qiu inheritance, he did not earn much.
3937
3938He took a huge risk and made great investments to carry out Gu refinement. In the end, he obtained calamity beckoning Gu but it was unusable. Mo Yao's will even entered his mind, causing him to refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vase, this was his greatest burden at the moment.
3939
3940"Had I known this, I would not have gone after this dogshit Di Qiu inheritance."
3941
3942This thought was not concealed at all, Mo Yao easily read about it.
3943
3944"Young man, that is not true. The refinement path killer move ink transformation that I taught you over these days is priceless. Didn't you want to make use of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's loophole, hehe, you are so daring, almost at the same level as me. Don't worry, I will help you, as long as you return Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House." Mo Yao urged.
3945
3946"Hmph, calamity beckoning Gu is mine, but I also want Water Pavilion, even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building might become my possession! You are a mere will, how can you stop me, a living person?" Since they had fought for dozens of times already, Fang Yuan rejected her outright.
3947
3948But this time, Mo Yao did not make fun of him, her gaze shone as she recalled something.
3949
3950Her expression was lonely as she sighed deeply: "Sigh, are all men like this? Even if they did something wrong, they would act in such a confident manner, unrelenting in their convictions being right."
3951
3952"In this world, what counts as wrong? Who is right, who is wrong? Everyone's way of life is just different."
3953
3954Mo Yao's expression changed, she laughed cheekily: "Young man, this is an interesting answer. But I've heard another answer, it was much more domineering than yours. He said —'In this world, anything I think or do is right. Those that differ from me are wrong.' Hehehe, is that domineering enough?"
3955
3956Fang Yuan's gaze shone: "Sword Immortal Bo Qing said that? Unfortunately, he did not succeed in that final step."
3957
3958These words made Mo Yao sink into silence, her face was full of sadness as she shut her eyes, memories were pouring in her mind as her long eyelashes were slightly trembling.
3959
3960She hid her figure, vanishing from Fang Yuan's mind.
3961
3962"Damn it, she did this again!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, every time Mo Yao's will hid herself, it would be like she did not exist, no matter how Fang Yuan tried to find her, he would not even see a trace of her.
3963
3964Mo Yao's attainment in soul path and wisdom path greatly exceeded Fang Yuan's. This resulted in her having free reign in his mind.
3965
3966But this time, he was not going to leave empty handed.
3967
3968In his mind, he found one of Mo Yao's will's thoughts.
3969
3970The content made Fang Yuan's heart shudder.
3971
3972This was a killer move, named — Six Arm Heavenly Zombie King!
3973
3974Fang Yuan had been trying to find a way to combine strength and enslavement paths, he thought hard and obtained an initial result, it was his strength path killer move — Four Arm Earth King.
3975
3976Using this move, he went on a killing spree in the final battle of the Imperial Court contest, defeating Ma tribe army and pushing Hei Lou Lan into Imperial Court Blessed Land.
3977
3978But four arm earth king was only a casually created killer move, it was full of flaws and after Fang Yuan improved on it, it became the killer move four arm wind king.
3979
3980After that, he found a crucial borrow strength Gu inside the treasure room of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, allowing the killer move four arm wind king to gain a huge improvement.
3981
3982After Mo Yao's will entered his mind, he purposely exposed a portion of his secrets, among them was this killer move, as well as his thoughts about improving this killer move.
3983
3984"Fantastic!" Fang Yuan praised.
3985
3986With his foundation, and Fairy Mo Yao's attainment, six arm heavenly zombie king was a killer move nearing perfection.
3987
3988It used borrow strength Gu as the core, six types of flying zombie Gu as the supplement, and another thirty-six Gu worms in order to design this killer move with an amazing and specialized structure, Fang Yuan was in great awe.
3989
3990"However, I know about the five great flying zombie Gu, but this killer move needs a sixth flying zombie Gu? What Gu is that?"
3991
3992The killer move in the thought was not complete, it still lacked the final crucial step.

4000**Translator:** ChibiGeneral **Editor:** ChibiGeneral
4001
4002Fang Yuan carefully observed calamity beckoning Gu.
4003
4004This Gu was a rank seven Immortal Gu and after going through the nurturing process in the giant vermillion bowl, it had already completely formed.
4005
4006It was the size of a little finger, was completely grey and looked very delicate like a silkworm cocoon.
4007
4008As Fang Yuan played with it and calamity beckoning Gu continued to absorb his aura, he could sense that the connection in the depths of his mind with calamity beckoning Gu was deepening further.
4009
4010Ripples appeared in Fang Yuan's heart.
4011
4012It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
4013
4014In his previous life, he had suffered untold difficulties and slaughtered many lives to refine a rank six Spring Autumn Cicada. And now with the advantage of his rebirth, he had yet to become a hundred years old but had already obtained calamity beckoning Gu which was a rank higher than Spring Autumn Cicada.
4015
4016Although the use of calamity beckoning Gu was extremely peculiar, offering oneself as a sacrifice by attracting earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations, Fang Yuan believed firmly that the use of a Gu depended on the wits of the Gu Master.
4017
4018Like Chainsaw Golden Centipede which would be used in a different manner in the future by a rank four mortal Gu Master 'Chainsaw Mad Demon'. So, why would Fang Yuan not be able to create new uses for calamity beckoning Gu?
4019
4020"Not speaking of other things, just the existence of calamity beckoning Gu proves that the legendary luck path truly exists."
4021
4022Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was extremely lucky his whole life and it was rumored that this was because he had created unique luck path Gu worms.
4023
4024However, there had never been conclusive evidence regarding this rumor.
4025
4026Now, Fang Yuan was holding calamity beckoning Gu, a luck path Gu; an Immortal Gu refined by refinement path grandmaster Mo Yao by interaction with the divert disaster Gu of Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building.
4027
4028Divert disaster Gu and calamity beckoning Gu were luck path Gu worms.
4029
4030The ink text in the bowl was a very strong piece of evidence.
4031
4032Mo Yao even directly wrote in the ink text that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path Gu worms could steal other people's good luck and transfer it to himself, and could also transfer his bad luck over, bringing trouble to others.
4033
4034As a complete path, luck path also had a methodical structure, including aspects of offense, defense, movement, healing and others. It was only that what it targeted was the incorporeal and formless luck which everyone possessed.
4035
4036After Giant Sun Immortal Venerable innovated the luck path, he kept it hidden and made great profits without making any commotion.
4037
4038"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable stole luck wantonly and with his death, the luck thief had finally perished." Mo Yao poured her feelings in the text, this strange woman had quite a temperament, daring to criticize an Immortal Venerable like this.
4039
4040She even speculated Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path inheritance was very likely to be in the treasure room of Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building!
4041
4042"If I can obtain this inheritance, could I duplicate Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's success?" Fang Yuan's heart thumped in excitement.
4043
4044He pondered for a while before placing calamity beckoning Gu in the giant vermilion bowl again.
4045
4046Although calamity beckoning Gu had completely taken form, Fang Yuan could not refine it.
4047
4048The connection between them had thickened to the extreme, but there was still a gap before he could truly become the master of calamity beckoning Gu.
4049
4050Fang Yuan was still a mortal currently and did not have immortal essence to refine it.
4051
4052This situation was different from when he refined fixed immortal travel Gu.
4053
4054At three kings blessed land, he was able to refine fixed immortal travel Gu with the assistance of the land spirit, he was the leading refiner. Thus when fixed immortal travel Gu was born, it became his Gu. But he could not use it, and if not for the land spirit's help, Fang Yuan would not have been able to travel to Hu Immortal blessed land.
4055
4056The whole process of refining calamity beckoning Gu, however, was done through the backflow of the heavenly power of Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building, Fang Yuan was an assistant at best; this was already extremely great considering he did not have the help of a land spirit.
4057
4058"I can only truly refine it when I become a Gu Immortal. Before that, I can only leave it here."
4059
4060Without advancing to Gu Immortal, there would be no immortal aperture to store calamity beckoning Gu. If it was brought out openly, the Immortal Gu aura would spread which was sure to attract countless coveting people.
4061
4062Fang Yuan was not worried about Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and the others; he had many wolf groups now and his strength path cultivation was also sufficient.
4063
4064What he was worried about was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will in Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building.
4065
4066Previously, the Immortal Gu was in its early form and had a weak aura, but now it had already taken shape, so if it was brought out, it might stir up Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's will and awaken it.
4067
4068Fang Yuan was not willing to take that risk, more so when his main plan had yet to be completed; he needed to keep on hiding and waiting.
4069
4070"Who would think that this nameless valley holds a rank seven Immortal Gu? But for now, I should first refine a part of this Water Pavilion before leaving." Fang Yuan pondered.
4071
4072Water Pavilion was a famous Immortal Gu house. It looked like Fang Yuan was overestimating himself by trying to refine it as a mortal, but this attempt was greatly feasible.
4073
4074Even the formidable Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building had a crack, allowing Fang Yuan to study it in\-depth. While Water Pavilion was now a ownerless object, it could naturally be easily exploited.
4075
4076But to talk about this, we need to know about the inherent nature of Gu houses.
4077
4078What is a Gu house?
4079
4080Not mentioning Fang Yuan's past life, after the rebirth alone, he had encountered many Gu houses.
4081
4082The most common among them included the Gu house three star cave. It would turn into a seed when it was collected. After planting the seed, it would grow into an enormous hollow tree with three floors.
4083
4084There was lizard house Gu with the appearance of a lizard, sporting different colors. Its eyes were windows and its mouth was the door; it could move by its own will.
4085
4086There was also the mushroom forest Gu house which was formed by planting a large number of mush room Gu. Many mushroom houses would form into a courtyard.
4087
4088These were mortal Gu, there were also Immortal Gu houses like Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building and Water Pavilion.
4089
4090There were too many complicated Gu houses to talk about in their development till this day. But if one were to investigate their origin, the publicly recognized founders were the seven Lui Gui siblings.
4091
4092These seven were demonic Gu Masters of the olden antiquity era, they were born as septuplets, and from birth to death, they moved together.
4093
4094They were experts in defence and each of them was a rank five peak stage Gu Master. They also had a defensive killer move formed by combining their strength called 'turtle house'. Relying on this move, they were able to defend against three attacks from a Gu Immortal, establishing a tale called 'three moves pact' in history.
4095
4096And this turtle house was the first Gu house in Gu Master history!
4097
4098Thus, basically speaking, Gu houses were killer moves formed by the combination and solidification of ten or more various kinds of Gu worms.
4099
4100Mushroom forest Gu house was a model example. It was a courtyard formed by the gathering of large numbers of mush room Gu.
4101
4102Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building was the apex of examples, possessing the ability to defend, gather, store and other effects. It was formed by countless small towers, divert disaster Gu being one of the main cornerstones. Sacrificing the gathered wild Gu, it created a power that would form the main body.
4103
4104There was also White Bone Chariot.
4105
4106Back then, Proud Bone Demon Lord Shen Jie Ao had outstanding and shocking talent. When he became a rank six Gu Immortal, he lacked a rank six Gu. So he came up with a killer move known as White Bone Chariot.
4107
4108The White Bone Chariot was formed from many rank five Gu, such as the White Bone Wheel, and had power comparable to a rank six Gu!
4109
4110This White Bone Chariot was actually a Gu house!
4111
4112As for three star cave, lizard house and large lizard house, they were all branches developed from simplified forms of Gu houses.
4113
4114Normal Gu houses were formed from the combination of several Gu worms. As three star cave and the others were formed from just one Gu, thus their might was greatly reduced and became commonly used Gu houses.
4115
4116Water Pavilion was a rank seven Immortal Gu house, this signified there was at least one rank seven Immortal Gu among the Gu worms used to create it!
4117
4118"With my current level, I cannot refine Immortal Gu. But refining the mortal Gu is still possible."
4119
4120This was where Fang Yuan's confidence in refining Water Pavilion lay in.
4121
4122There were not many difficulties during the refining process.
4123
4124Water Pavilion was one of the symbols of Spirit Affinity House, wielded by Fairy Mo Yao back then.
4125
4126Mo Yao betrayed the sect for her love and refined calamity beckoning Gu, sacrificing herself. This Immortal Gu house thus became ownerless.
4127
4128As such, to Fang Yuan, Water Pavilion was like a little beauty that had its arms wide open and he was free to play with it.
4129
4130"Amazing, there were actually no less than three thousand Gu worms used in the assembly of Water Pavilion. And every Gu worm was closely interrelated and had a faint resonance between them. The core was rank seven Water Harmony Gu which allows the Gu Master to completely merge and hide in water; as long as the water was not extinguished, they won't die. Besides this, there were also two assisting Immortal Gu \- rank six movement Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace and wisdom path Immortal Gu Delight in Water and Mountain."
4131
4132The process of refining was in fact, the process of deepening his understanding of Water Pavilion.
4133
4134Refining an Immortal Gu was far beyond Fang Yuan's ability, so there was no need to attempt it in vain. What he could make a move on were the rank one and rank two mortal Gu.
4135
4136Fang Yuan spent six hours in refinement till he was dizzy, completely refining five hundred rank one and rank two mortal Gu.
4137
4138"I now have ten percent control over Water Pavilion. Even if someone discovers it, this ten percent of authority will be able to block them for a while. This time will be enough for me to be alerted and rush here in time."
4139
4140He refined for another two hours and increased his control authority to thirteen percent.
4141
4142The difficulty of the refinement continued to increase at the later stages.
4143
4144"Unfortunately, I have Spring Autumn Cicada which is like a ticking time bomb. I cannot use time path's instant success Gu and other Gu to help me in the refining process, otherwise my progress would not be just this."
4145
4146Fang Yuan felt his head spinning and knew he had already reached the limit. The primeval essence in his two rank five peak stage apertures was also almost exhausted.
4147
4148But just when he thought of pulling away, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
4149
4150"After such a long time, I finally meet the fated one today."
4151
4152Following the indistinct sigh, the graceful figure of a woman with a slim body, shining dark eyes, and a veil covering her face, appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
4153
4154"This is Fairy Mo Yao's will, when did it enter my mind?!" Fang Yuan was inwardly shocked.
4155
4156So much time had passed, Mo Yao was not a venerable but she was still able to leave behind her will, one could tell how strong a cultivation she had back then.
4157
4158Fang Yuan actually already had taken precautions, but Fairy Mo Yao clearly had some special methods that allowed her will to silently enter Fang Yuan's mind.
4159
4160Such an ability was not trivial.
4161
4162Mo Yao's will had entered Fang Yuan's mind, if she wanted to unceremoniously create difficulties for him, then Fang Yuan would absolutely have to suffer the consequences.
4163
4164Fang Yuan was not a wisdom path expert, only wisdom path Gu Masters had the power to subdue this kind of will.
4165
4166The most crucial thing was that when people pondered, their thoughts would first emerge. These thoughts would clash with each other in the brain and then transform, creating a new thought. This was the process of thinking.
4167
4168Now, Mo Yao's will had entered Fang Yuan's mind which meant she could hear all his thoughts clearly!
4169
4170What would happen once Mo Yao's will learned of Spring Autumn Cicada?
4171
4172"No need to be afraid, fated one, I have no intention of harming you. I only want to ask you a question." Mo Yao's will faintly asked.
4173
4174Fang Yuan did not even need to guess to know what she was going to ask. He told her about the fact of Bo Qing's defeat on the spot.
4175
4176When she heard this grievous news, Mo Yao's will shook to the point of collapsing!
4177
4178Fang Yuan was rejoicing covertly, but he had to be disappointed because Mo Yao's will was able to maintain her form in the end.
4179
4180Her dark as night eyes were filled with tears. Fairy Mo Yao's expression was extremely complex; there was sadness, but there was relief as well.
4181
4182Like she said in her poem *'too long has passed, emotions and hatred have already lasted for a long time'* , her love and hatred with Bo Qing was a long tale that was touching and deeply intertwined.
4183
4184"Fated one, since you can refine calamity beckoning Gu and also found this place and have begun refining Water Pavilion, you should already have a general understanding. Since he is already dead, then let everything go. Sigh… maybe this is the fortune of the living."
4185
4186Mo Yao's will paused before continuing: "I have already let down Spirit Affinity House, my only wish now is to return this Water Pavilion. As compensation, I will impart my life's refinement path attainment insights to you. Besides this, I will also tell you the secret information of Eighty\-Eight True Yang Building!"

4190I am as harmless as a butterfly — Mo Yao.Chapter 569: Six Arm Heavenly Zombie King
4191
4192The entire sacred palace was shrouded in an aurora.
4193
4194The light was dazzling and shone for the radius of a hundred li.
4195
4196Looking at the top of the sacred palace, two layers of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had already formed, huge numbers of people were entering and exiting daily.
4197
4198Retracting his gaze, Fang Yuan softly closed the windows.
4199
4200Half a month had passed since he refined calamity beckoning Gu and returned from the Water Pavilion.
4201
4202During this period, Hei Lou Lan opened up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and did not charge any fees, allowing people to enter as they wished.
4203
4204Eighty-Eight True Yang Building — Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's inheritance ground, it had incredible attraction to all Gu Masters.
4205
4206Countless Gu Masters with Giant Sun's bloodline entered like torrents of water, even if they could not get through, they wanted to observe the glory of the event.
4207
4208Especially after Eighty-Eight True Yang Building underwent a transformation and formed two layers, it triggered the people's desires to explore.
4209
4210As for outsiders, they could only enter using the guest token.
4211
4212The guest token was a one time expenditure item, it could only be obtained on occasion when getting through a round.
4213
4214Until now, there had only been seven guest tokens obtained. Each fetched an astronomical price, but it did not deter any of the expert Gu Masters who did not have Giant Sun's bloodline.
4215
4216Fang Yuan had the glass owner token now, he could freely enter and exit Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and even enter the treasure room. But in order to conceal himself, not long ago, he still paid a hefty price to buy a guest token.
4217
4218"Young man, I would advise you to prepare the ink transformation killer move that I taught you. That way, once you enter the central control hall, you would have less trouble."
4219
4220A female voice resounded in Fang Yuan's mind.
4221
4222It was none other than Fairy Mo Yao's will who had stealthily sneaked in.
4223
4224Fang Yuan heard this and frowned, in his heart he snorted and replied: "This killer move is too outdated. Some of the Gu worms have already disappeared, if I want to collect them now, it will take quite some effort, how can it be rushed?"
4225
4226Mo Yao's will laughed: "Young man, you are quite fortunate to have Hu Immortal blessed land. You should make good use of treasure yellow heaven, it is not hard to purchase these Gu worms."
4227
4228Fang Yuan frowned even more tightly.
4229
4230He deciphered the code and obtained Di Qiu inheritance, even successfully refining calamity beckoning Gu, but he also gained a huge problem known as Mo Yao's will.
4231
4232Mo Yao's will was now lurking inside his mind, it was a huge threat.
4233
4234When Fang Yuan thinks, thoughts would be generated.
4235
4236Mo Yao's will could read these thoughts and understand Fang Yuan's secrets.
4237
4238In half a month's time, she learnt about many of his secrets, including Hu Immortal blessed land.
4239
4240Right now, Fang Yuan could only use space thought Gu to think.
4241
4242Using space thought Gu as the main component, and other Gu worms to assist it, the thoughts formed had the power of space imbued in them, Mo Yao's will could not read them even if she caught them.
4243
4244But such a situation was only temporary.
4245
4246Will ruled above thoughts, Mo Yao's will was inside Fang Yuan's mind, after interacting with these space thoughts for a long time, she would become familiar with them, and this line of defense would not be able to stop her.
4247
4248"Young man, you are young but you have many secrets. Hehehe, really interesting." Mo Yao's will floated in the air, moving up and down.
4249
4250She laughed as she covered her mouth, her eyes were watery and her posture was alluring, she was truly a past generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House.
4251
4252After staying with Fang Yuan for a while, she became more active, and even more curious, her nature of wanting to probe people's secrets showed itself.
4253
4254Every generation of Spirit Affinity House's fairies was the cream of the crop, one out of ten thousand, she would be talented and beautiful, pure and elegant like a sacred lotus. But Mo Yao was different, her dark pupils contained some craftiness, if she was in the demonic path, she would definitely be a demoness.
4255
4256She created an illusory robe, covering her body while showing the contours, she looked at the bubble-like thoughts as she grabbed one of them.
4257
4258Next, she exerted strength and with a 'pop', this thought exploded with some force.
4259
4260But she did not gain anything, because this thought's content was two words, 'eating dinner'.
4261
4262She gasped lightly, her beautiful lips curving into an arousing angle: "Young man, you are not cute at all. Every time you think about something, you will make up all sorts of random thoughts to conceal the important points. Do you know that this will, in fact, make this big sister even more curious?"
4263
4264"Hmph, with your age, you have the face to call yourself big sister?" Fang Yuan snorted, threatening, "You are dead, you should rest in peace. Don't think that I cannot do anything to you now that you are in my mind. Who knows, I might make your will perish the next moment."
4265
4266"Hehehe, so scary…" Mo Yao patted her plump chest, laughing without any concern: "But during this half a month of time, you attacked me twenty-eight times using nineteen methods. Don't tell me, you are not only a strength-enslavement dual cultivator, but you also cultivate in wisdom path?"
4267
4268"Hmph!" Fang Yuan's heart was surging with killing intent.
4269
4270" Aiyaya 1  , young man, don't be like this." Feeling Fang Yuan's sharp killing intent, Mo Yao waved her fingers: "I am your benefactor, isn't calamity beckoning Gu your Immortal Gu now? You are still a mortal, it is an amazing accomplishment to have an Immortal Gu. Don't worry, don't worry, once you return this Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House, my wish would be fulfilled, and this will would no longer have any reason to exist."
4271
4272Return the rank seven Immortal Gu house Water Pavilion?
4273
4274The juicy meat had already entered Fang Yuan's mouth, why would he spit it out?
4275
4276Fang Yuan did not want to do so, obviously, but he had no other choices.
4277
4278Not mentioning the piece of Mo Yao's will in his mind, there was also a portion of Mo Yao's remnant will inside the Water Pavilion.
4279
4280That meant, this Mo Yao was quite impressive.
4281
4282History said that she was a refinement grandmaster. But in terms of wisdom path and soul path, it seems she was even more skilled in them. Fang Yuan's multitude of mental attacks were all easily dispelled by her.
4283
4284Fang Yuan had a huge headache now.
4285
4286Even though he obtained Di Qiu inheritance, he did not earn much.
4287
4288He took a huge risk and made great investments to carry out Gu refinement. In the end, he obtained calamity beckoning Gu but it was unusable. Mo Yao's will even entered his mind, causing him to refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vase, this was his greatest burden at the moment.
4289
4290"Had I known this, I would not have gone after this dogshit Di Qiu inheritance."
4291
4292This thought was not concealed at all, Mo Yao easily read about it.
4293
4294"Young man, that is not true. The refinement path killer move ink transformation that I taught you over these days is priceless. Didn't you want to make use of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's loophole, hehe, you are so daring, almost at the same level as me. Don't worry, I will help you, as long as you return Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House." Mo Yao urged.
4295
4296"Hmph, calamity beckoning Gu is mine, but I also want Water Pavilion, even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building might become my possession! You are a mere will, how can you stop me, a living person?" Since they had fought for dozens of times already, Fang Yuan rejected her outright.
4297
4298But this time, Mo Yao did not make fun of him, her gaze shone as she recalled something.
4299
4300Her expression was lonely as she sighed deeply: "Sigh, are all men like this? Even if they did something wrong, they would act in such a confident manner, unrelenting in their convictions being right."
4301
4302"In this world, what counts as wrong? Who is right, who is wrong? Everyone's way of life is just different."
4303
4304Mo Yao's expression changed, she laughed cheekily: "Young man, this is an interesting answer. But I've heard another answer, it was much more domineering than yours. He said —'In this world, anything I think or do is right. Those that differ from me are wrong.' Hehehe, is that domineering enough?"
4305
4306Fang Yuan's gaze shone: "Sword Immortal Bo Qing said that? Unfortunately, he did not succeed in that final step."
4307
4308These words made Mo Yao sink into silence, her face was full of sadness as she shut her eyes, memories were pouring in her mind as her long eyelashes were slightly trembling.
4309
4310She hid her figure, vanishing from Fang Yuan's mind.
4311
4312"Damn it, she did this again!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, every time Mo Yao's will hid herself, it would be like she did not exist, no matter how Fang Yuan tried to find her, he would not even see a trace of her.
4313
4314Mo Yao's attainment in soul path and wisdom path greatly exceeded Fang Yuan's. This resulted in her having free reign in his mind.
4315
4316But this time, he was not going to leave empty handed.
4317
4318In his mind, he found one of Mo Yao's will's thoughts.
4319
4320The content made Fang Yuan's heart shudder.
4321
4322This was a killer move, named — Six Arm Heavenly Zombie King!
4323
4324Fang Yuan had been trying to find a way to combine strength and enslavement paths, he thought hard and obtained an initial result, it was his strength path killer move — Four Arm Earth King.
4325
4326Using this move, he went on a killing spree in the final battle of the Imperial Court contest, defeating Ma tribe army and pushing Hei Lou Lan into Imperial Court Blessed Land.
4327
4328But four arm earth king was only a casually created killer move, it was full of flaws and after Fang Yuan improved on it, it became the killer move four arm wind king.
4329
4330After that, he found a crucial borrow strength Gu inside the treasure room of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, allowing the killer move four arm wind king to gain a huge improvement.
4331
4332After Mo Yao's will entered his mind, he purposely exposed a portion of his secrets, among them was this killer move, as well as his thoughts about improving this killer move.
4333
4334"Fantastic!" Fang Yuan praised.
4335
4336With his foundation, and Fairy Mo Yao's attainment, six arm heavenly zombie king was a killer move nearing perfection.
4337
4338It used borrow strength Gu as the core, six types of flying zombie Gu as the supplement, and another thirty-six Gu worms in order to design this killer move with an amazing and specialized structure, Fang Yuan was in great awe.
4339
4340"However, I know about the five great flying zombie Gu, but this killer move needs a sixth flying zombie Gu? What Gu is that?"
4341
4342The killer move in the thought was not complete, it still lacked the final crucial step.
4343
4344ChibiGeneral
4345The zombie translator Gu. Get me one of those.
