Chapter 2286: Derivation's Immortal Might | Reverend Insanity

The shocking change to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable who was inside the two heavens ruined the plans of the venerables again. Eastern Sea. Fang Yuan raised his head and used his investigative killer move. He saw that the icy flame had covered half of the immemorial two heavens, everywhere it went, all life was extinguished. Even immemorial desolate beasts could not last long. This was definitely a slaughter. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable benefited greatly from this, his entire body had grown to a hundred times of when he was in Crazed Demon Cave! He had over ten thousand black pillar-like arms now. His terrifying aura and killing intent permeated the entire heaven. Although he was motionless in the two heavens, he took the role of the old sun of white heaven, he was now the absolute overlord of the night sky. "Feng Jiu Ge…" Fang Yuan's gaze was deep. He had already found out that the cause of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's huge change was Feng Jiu Ge. Ever since the fate war, Feng Jiu Ge had betrayed Heavenly Court and gone missing. To think that the next time he showed up, he did such a shocking thing. But the suspicious thing to Fang Yuan was that Feng Jiu Ge seemed to still have his pseudo venerable battle strength! This was the only explanation for how he could quickly affect Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and escape successfully. Be it Fang Yuan, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, or Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, they could not use their investigative method on Spectral Soul Demon Venerable all the time. This required thoughts and immortal essence. That was also why Star Constellation Immortal Venerable created the star array calculation formation, it helped her to monitor the whole of Central Continent. "Destiny song…" "It is able to allow Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and the wild fire Gu to coexist, achieving harmony. Feng Jiu Ge's killer move has gotten stronger." Fang Yuan was now a refinement path venerable. In the entire world, aside from the venerables, Feng Jiu Ge was the number one person who deserved Fang Yuan's attention the most! This person's talent was shocking to the world, he was even Feng Jin Huang's father. In the five hundred years of Fang Yuan's previous life, Feng Jiu Ge was plotted against by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and died while attacking Lang Ya blessed land. Now that Fang Yuan thought about it, he could see that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had also paid a lot of attention to Feng Jiu Ge! Precisely because of this, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable plotted and killed Feng Jiu Ge. Otherwise, during those five hundred years, he would have created his own legend and shone brightly like the stars. The weird thing was that although Spectral Soul plotted to kill Feng Jiu Ge in that life, currently, Feng Jiu Ge seemed to be helping the former instead! "So, is the pseudo venerable battle strength that Feng Jiu Ge possesses a result of future self or did he cultivate himself during this period of time?" Fang Yuan pondered deeply. This was a crucial question. If Feng Jiu Ge still had future self killer move, that meant that he still had a close connection to Red Lotus Demon Venerable! In that case, the person behind Feng Jiu Ge would be Red Lotus Demon Venerable, meaning he was plotting from behind the scenes. Fang Yuan knew about the relationship between these two. Back then, after he failed and was reborn, in order to destroy fate Gu, he gave crucial intel to Feng Jiu Ge and allowed him to get his own Red Lotus true inheritance. Why was Feng Jiu Ge helping Spectral Soul Demon Venerable? There was also Heavenly Court's attitude towards him that Fang Yuan had to consider now. Right now, Fang Yuan knew that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had sent Heavenly Court Gu Immortals to hunt down the remnants of Shadow Sect like Fairy Zi Wei. Then, why was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable not going after Feng Jiu Ge? Why did they leave Feng Jin Huang alone, as if they forgot about her? What was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable planning? Spring Autumn Cicada could not be used anymore, while Fang Yuan did not know of many secrets and hidden information now. And because he lacked effective investigative methods that could be used on the venerables, he had to pretend to be weak and only make guesses blindly. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had already healed, after leaving Heavenly Court, she had been refining Central Continent's wisdom path dao marks these days. At the same time, she was making deductions. "Feng Jiu Ge… destiny song…" "I cultivate wisdom path which controls certainty. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable cultivates luck path which explores uncertainty. This destiny song actually contains both certainty and uncertainty, it involves heaven path and human path!" Star Constellation Immortal Venerable recalled her own experiences, throughout humanity's history, or even the variant human's history, in terms of pure talent, Feng Jiu Ge was definitely top ten. "Feng Jiu Ge met with Fairy Zi Wei and the rest, he might have helped them. Right now, he helped Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, these actions will greatly benefit his destiny song killer move." Heavenly Court's pursuers failed. They could not bring back Fairy Zi Wei and the rest. But through the traces left behind, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable managed to deduce many details of the truth. At this moment, inside Heavenly Court. Derivation formation was currently in operation. Che Wei and several other Gu Immortals stood before the formation and waited. The ten children of human path had left Heavenly Court already, their memories regarding this were deleted. This was done by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable personally, she did not remove their memories carelessly, she had altered them meticulously. In the following period, these ten children of human path would have bursts of 'inspiration' which would allow them to 'create' the respective Gu recipes. Fang Yuan was a vigilant person, but Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was even more vigilant when it came to this. She did the same to anyone who had come into contact with the derivation formation. In this case, as long as one did not have higher wisdom path attainment than her, they would not be able to gain intel about the derivation formation from the ten children of human path. The derivation formation was too important to Heavenly Court. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had to think of ways to protect this secret to the best of her abilities! Ruan Dan flew out from the derivation formation. Che Wei and the rest quickly went up and asked for the results. Ruan Dan's expression soon went back to normal, it was extremely excited: "Amazing, this derivation formation is too amazing! I obtained over a thousand pill path Gu recipes, among which are a hundred Immortal Gu recipes! I've tried to create pill path killer moves for so long without much progress, but now, I obtained more than two hundred killer moves, among which, there are over fifty immortal killer moves!!" Che Wei and the rest were shook. Ruan Dan was the first to enter the formation, to think that the gains would be so immense! Different from the ten children of human path, Ruan Dan was a legendary immemorial desolate beast, it had a long lifespan and countless experiences, its foundation was very deep. "Friend Ruan Dan, although you created pill path, you do not know much about other paths. With this derivation formation, you can come into contact with the research results of other paths by using pill path as the core. After creating a resonance, countless new results would be derived, thus, your gains were so immense!" Feng Da Qi analyzed. She was a Gu Immortal of Heavenly Lotus Sect, this time, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had chosen her to become one of the people entering the derivation formation. Ruan Dan nodded in agreement: "Fairy Feng is right. For a brand new path like pill path, the first step of development is to popularize it. After many generations of Gu cultivators come into contact and cultivate it, through their various life experiences and perspectives, they will slowly build pill path with their unique ideas." "After that, more and more cultivators will emerge, among which, geniuses will create new advancements and breakthrough, obtaining huge research results." "But now, the derivation formation has taken the place of all these steps. Using all sorts of exceptional Gu Immortal inheritances, the historical characters are helping us in this development. In just a short period of time, we can accumulate a vast amount of pill path foundation." After hearing the analysis, Che Wei and the rest had increasingly heated gazes. "I will go next." Che Wei was the second person to enter the formation. Several days later, he came out. His gains were as huge as Ruan Dan! The immortals continued their analysis. Ruan Dan said: "Friend Che Wei, although you have only created weapon path for a short time unlike me, you are a purebred human with the strongest spirituality. Therefore, your gains are equal to mine. If you had created this path for a longer time, your gains will even exceed mine." Che Wei shook his head in response: "I do not agree with this conjecture." "Any path that reaches grandmaster attainment can learn about any path using their own as a foundation. Through their path, they can mimic the expertise of other paths. For example, one can use fire path Gu worms to create a move with water path abilities." "The derivation formation might be a forceful type of mimicry." "The vast number of true inheritances stored in the immortal formation were described through Ruan Dan's pill path and my weapon path. For example, the iron rod Gu recipe that I obtained is the result of converting metal path into weapon path. There is also leather whip Gu which is the resulting derivation by combining transformation path and weapon path." Che Wei's words made the immortals' understanding of derivation formation deepen again. It was Feng Da Qi's turn. She only had rank seven cultivation level but was Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable's bloodline descendant. After entering the formation, she only spent a day and night before getting out. After returning, she had a smile on her face. "I've obtained painting path research results, next, I will refine painting path Immortal Gu and change my vital Gu to painting path." The immortals congratulated her. The use of the derivation formation was not just to help develop human path, pill path, and weapon path, it could also extract the specific essence of the various paths to create new branches of an existing path. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable did not leave any painting path inheritance for his descendants. But through the derivation formation, Heavenly Court could directly nurture their own painting path Gu Immortals! Gu are the essence of heaven and earth, man is the spirit of all living beings. There was no point in discussing the strongest Gu worm, only the strongest Gu Immortal mattered. The way of Gu involved nurturing, use and refinement, these were all integral. Limitless Demon Venerable used rank nine derivation Immortal Gu and other cores to create his Crazed Demon formation. He created the truthful floating ice and tried to utilize his eternal life research results but failed in the end, more than half of the truthful floating ice was lost. The remaining portion was split into three by Fang Yuan and the two venerables. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable used derivation Immortal Gu to create the derivation formation, allowing the various paths to develop rapidly. A vast amount of research results were produced, saving a lot of time and also preventing these results from leaking to the outside world, which was a huge drawback of development. If Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had such a method, he would not have needed to make his Blood Sea clone distribute blood path inheritances worldwide.

Chapter 2287: Spectral Heaven | Reverend Insanity

For the three venerables, the shocking change to Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was only beneficial to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Longevity Heaven. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable let out a breath of turbid air as he sat cross-legged with a bare upper body. Muscles could be seen on his strong upper body, his black chest hair gave off a manly aura. "My injuries have healed." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable let out a sigh of relief. If Spectral Soul Demon Venerable continued to fight against fire Gu, the two of them would suffer heavy injuries, causing the venerables to fight over them again. However, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's injuries were more severe than Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. If he chose not to participate, he would lose the opportunity. But if he went with such injuries, he would be at a disadvantage. Not long ago, because of the contest over light Gu, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable face pressure from two venerables. He even had to protect his son Light Emperor, causing him to pay a huge price in the end. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable healed long ago while Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had only just recovered. Due to Feng Jiu Ge's action, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable became much stronger, forcing Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Great Love Immortal Venerable to continue observing. Thus, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable benefited from this. The feeling was very familiar to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable as it was experienced in his previous life. He was a luck path cultivator who explored the uncertainty. The stronger he got, the more advantages these uncertain situations would bring to him. After preparing for a while, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable activated his luck path investigative killer move. But this time, he did not inspect the venerables, he checked himself. After Star Constellation Immortal Venerable refined Heavenly Court's wisdom path dao marks, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable reduced the number of times he inspected others, he started to focus on himself. His luck was not good. "I successfully obtained rank nine light Gu but my luck is still bad. Just what is causing this bad luck?" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable frowned. "Don't tell me the reason is because rank nine light Gu does not suit me? Furthermore, it is currently injured and is being nurtured inside Light Emperor's body?" Giant Sun Immortal Venerable guessed. Rank nine light Gu was injured after Fang Yuan used his crippled refinement killer move. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not have any method to heal it, but Light Emperor was more specialized in light path, he thought of the only solution to this. That was to use his light body to refine and nurture it, eventually converting light Gu into his vital Gu, allowing him to make use of it. If this was a normal wild rank nine light Gu, Light Emperor would have no way of refining it. But light Gu was injured, its will was heavily affected, together with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's help, Light Emperor saw a chance of success. This had its flaws. For a long period of time, Light Emperor would lose all mobility, he even needed assistance in eating and drinking. Longevity Heaven immediately lost a pseudo venerable battle strength expert. But Longevity Heaven could not do anything else. They could not give light Gu to Fang Yuan and ask him to repair it! This was a rank nine Immortal Gu. While Fang Yuan was someone with no bottom-line. Giant Sun and Light Emperor were not stupid enough to ask Fang Yuan for help. Looking at his poor luck, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable sighed helplessly: "If I had obtained a rank nine luck path Immortal Gu instead of light Gu, no matter which luck path Gu it is, the situation will be much better now." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was also very familiar with this situation. Although many sudden events would often benefit him in the end, most of the time, they were not things that he needed. After all, this was uncertainty, not certainty. Currently, if Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had a rank nine luck path Immortal Gu, he would be able to create a rank nine investigative killer move and find out who was his biggest threat. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not have a rank nine luck path Immortal Gu, thus, when he used an investigative killer move amplified by Longevity Heaven's dao marks, he could only see the general trend of the luck. The contest of three venerables, the rampage of the senseless Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, the interference of pseudo venerables like Feng Jiu Ge, as well as the possible plotting of other venerables in the background. All of these types of luck intertwined together and prevented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable from seeing the specific details, he could only see a trend. Rank nine Immortal Gu was very important. It signified a qualitative change! No matter how much the amplification of dao marks became, it was only a quantitative boost. "I may be the person with the most progress among the three venerables. Looking at this luck, it is likely that the other venerables will attack me because of rank nine light Gu. This will cause their luck to collectively suppress mine." "Of course, there is another possibility — someone surpassed me! I've already lost my advantage. But if that is the case, who is the one hiding so deeply?" Like what Fang Yuan did when he thought about Feng Jiu Ge and Heavenly Court, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could only make a guess, he could not see the truth immediately. Now, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had to leave Longevity Heaven and continue to refine Northern Plains' dao marks. After thoroughly refining Northern Plains' luck path dao marks, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would expand his base from Longevity Heaven to the entire Northern Plains. There were many benefits in this. For example, if Giant Sun Immortal Venerable got attacked by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Great Love Immortal Venerable again. He would not need to escape to Longevity Heaven, as long as he was inside Northern Plains, he would receive the amplification of power. Naturally, the amplification would be weaker than being in Longevity Heaven, but it would be enough to resist two venerables. At the same time, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's control over Northern Plains would increase, he would be able to specially nurture Gu Immortal descendants. He would not need to worry about a certain shameless venerable who could slaughter the Huang Jin tribes while disregarding his status, who Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did not have a good way to stop. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable understood that as time dragged on, the venerables would continue to get stronger, and as they progressed, the immortal essence storage would also become more abundant. At the initial stage of development, the venerables lacked immortal essence. At this time, it would be the best opportunity to refine the natural dao marks of the world. If he missed this opportunity, it would get tougher. If one was interrupted when refining natural dao marks, their progress would be very small. If other venerables took the lead, it would be even worse. For example, if Star Constellation Immortal Venerable first refined the wisdom path dao marks of an area, then her strength would be much higher there. By then, if Giant Sun Immortal Venerable wanted to refine the luck path dao marks of that area and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable attacks, his best option would be to retreat. Excluding the senseless Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, among the three venerables, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had the clearest advantage. He had refined the most luck path dao marks. Once he refined all of Northern Plains' luck path dao marks, he would not allow the other venerables to attempt the refinement here. Be it Star Constellation Immortal Venerable who would want to refine Northern Plains' wisdom path dao marks or Fang Yuan who would want to refine Northern Plains' refinement path dao marks, they would have to face Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's all-out retaliation! Thus, now was the best timing to refine natural dao marks. After some time, the difficulty would rise greatly. Other than this reason, there was another crucial secret that forced the venerables to quickly refine these dao marks. That was, one had to completely refine all the natural dao marks in the world to maintain their supreme grandmaster attainment level! Spectral Soul Demon Venerable emitted a cold flame and slaughtered the lifeforms of the two heavens while the three venerables refined their respective natural dao marks, the five regions' Gu Immortal world experienced temporary peace for the moment. Countless beast groups were escaping from the fused two heavens, landing in the five regions. The super forces of the five regions were extremely busy, they had to move out to defend their territories. As most of the beast groups were killed by the icy flame, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's body continued to expand as his aura surged like the boundless sea. Some time later, his icy flame covered the entire two heavens. As the three venerables and countless lifeforms of the five regions watched, the blue fire burned for two days and night. The white heaven and black heaven fragments in the fused two heavens melted and joined together in this blue fire, becoming one entity. A new heaven had appeared! People named it — spectral heaven. With immemorial black heaven as the foundation and white heaven being completely conquered and absorbed, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable who had devoured black heaven's heavenly spirit became the ruler of the new heaven. His body was colossal, on par with the previous sun. As the blue fire slowly extinguished in spectral heaven, only Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's body was left burning, even the smallest spark of fire on his body was tens of feet tall. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable became the greatest source of light in spectral heaven, he emitted a cold and chilly killing intent at all times, spreading his aura to the five regions. This was an unprecedented change! Even in the five hundred years of his previous life, Fang Yuan did not see such a phenomenon. The entire Gu cultivation world's environment was slowly changed by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable. Light path was suppressed while dark path was amplified. Conflicts and deaths arose all around the world, most lifeforms including Gu Masters could not avoid the influence of the immense killing intent. Soul beasts started to appear all over the world. At the same time, heaven's will also stabilized. Eastern Sea. A rank five female Gu Master looked at spectral heaven and the majestic figure at the center of it. She looked for a while before quickly lowering her head, retracting her gaze entirely. In just this short time, the killing intent in her heart accumulated to her limit, almost exceeding her endurance. If the killing intent overwhelmed her, she would need to perform a massacre to calm down. The female Gu Master was very old, she was ninety-three years old. Her name was Hua Ben Ku, she had just passed down the role of clan leader in Eastern Sea's Hua clan. She stared at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable intentionally. After the killing intent dissipated, she started the greatest attempt of her life. Immortal ascension! First step, breaking the aperture. Heaven and earth qi surged and formed grand calamities and tribulations. Hua Ben Ku had a solemn expression, although she had the information provided by Hua clan, facing the calamities and tribulations now, she was still shook internally. Second step, taking in qi. Heaven, earth, and human qi surrounded Hua Ben Ku as she focused to try and balance all three qi. At the same time, natural inspiration occurred! Regarding the external calamities and tribulations, Hua clan's Gu Immortals took action to defend her. This was the benefit of being a super force. Third step, putting in the Gu. Her vital Gu was placed into the lump of three qi as an explosion occurred, creating a new small world! At this time, Hua Ben Ku's rank six immortal aperture was formed, her immortal ascension succeeded. A high grade blessed land. But there was no extra heaven and earth qi to refine a vital Immortal Gu. But Hua Ben Ku was satisfied. She could barely calm down. During the natural inspiration, she had huge gains. Her lifetime accumulation included her proudest killer move, it had received a qualitative transformation, becoming an immortal killer move. As long as she used this move, she could sit on top of an Immortal Gu House and cry, it would cause the target to suffer heavy damages and even reduce the reputation of the Gu Immortals inside.

Chapter 2288: Trend of Immortal Ascension | Reverend Insanity

After spectral heaven formed, it gradually stabilized. The beast groups that escaped earlier returned and lived in the new heaven again. All the various grotto-heavens' doors were tightly shut as they condensed into one spot, although there were some losses, they had managed to survive at least. Despite Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's dominance of spectral heaven, he rarely moved. The two heavens' grotto-heavens tried not to open their doors and connect to the outside world, otherwise, it was possible that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable might approach them. Fang Yuan, Star Constellation, and Giant Sun were busy refining natural dao marks, they were competing with each other as they fell into another deadlock. While the venerables had ceased fire and everyone gained some respite, a large number of Gu Immortal seeds started to prepare for the attempt at immortal ascension! Central Continent. Heavenly Lotus Sect's headquarters. "Mu Huai greets first supreme elder." A newly advanced rank six Gu Immortal knelt on the ground and greeted. Heavenly Lotus Sect's first supreme elder nodded and gave Mu Huai some words of encouragement before telling the immortal beside him: "Wu Zhang, you nurtured Mu Huai so you will be the one making arrangements for him now." "Understood." Wu Zhang answered as he brought Mu Huai out of the hall. Wu Zhang was the fifth supreme elder of Heavenly Lotus Sect, long ago, he had created the Five Virtues Sect in Central Continent under his own name. Five Virtues Sect had the five virtues elders, among them, Mu Huai was the wood virtue elder. This time, he took a risk to undergo immortal ascension and succeeded, obtaining a medium grade blessed land. Wu Zhang brought him to Heavenly Lotus Sect as he gained the first supreme elder's recognition. From now on, Mu Huai was a member of Wu Zhang's faction. Days later, in Northern Plains. An immortal ascension had just ended. Ouyang Bi Sang only had half of his body remaining, but he barely survived. "Second brother, you succeeded!" Mo Shi Kuang shouted loudly as he ran forward in excitement. Ouyang Bi Sang could only smile as he could not speak, he looked towards Liu Wen Wu with a grateful gaze. If not for Liu Wen Wu's help, Ouyang Bi Sang would have definitely died. Right now, all thanks to Liu Wen Wu's immortal killer move, Ouyang Bi Sang managed to survive. Liu Wen Wu was once Liu tribe's Gu Immortal seed, he was the sworn brother of Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang, they had participated in the Imperial Court contest. Liu Wen Wu was already a Gu Immortal, with his help, Ouyang Bi Sang also succeeded. Liu Wen Wu understood what Ouyang Bi Sang was thinking, he smiled gently: "Second brother, go ahead and rest. With me here, you will be safe." Ouyang Bi Sang did not even have the strength to nod, he shut his eyes and fell asleep. This showed how much trust he had in Liu Wen Wu. "Big brother! Second brother has already succeeded in the immortal ascension, I can do it too. When are you going to help me? I want to try it too." Mo Shi Kuang showed a heated gaze and spoke in an anxious tone. Liu Wen Wu smiled bitterly: "Third brother, calm down. You've seen what happened to your second brother, the immortal ascension is very dangerous, he almost failed to balance the three qi and nearly failed completely." "With just my help, it is very unreliable to try and go through the unpredictable immortal ascension calamities and tribulations." "We were lucky this time because the calamities and tribulations were within my abilities. But you need to know that there are all kinds of tribulations, by the time you undergo immortal ascension, we may not be so lucky." "This…" Mo Shi Kuang scratched his head. Liu Wen Wu added: "Let's wait a while for your second brother's cultivation level to stabilize. Once he has some immortal methods, we can work together to help you, that will be safer." "Brother, you are right, I'll wait." Mo Shi Kuang agreed with the words and changed his decision. But he did not know that Liu Wen Wu was sighing internally. Long ago, Liu Wen Wu was just a Gu Master, he did not have such a wide vision, thus, he became sworn brothers with Mo Shi Kuang. But after becoming a Gu Immortal, he realized that the world was ruled by humanity, all variant humans were marginalized. Mo Shi Kuang's inkman identity was increasingly sensitive. After Liu Wen Wu helped Ouyang Bi Sang to become an immortal, the latter would become Liu tribe's external supreme elder. He would be Liu Wen Wu's supporter and stand on the same political side as him. Even though Ouyang Bi Sang was a purebred human, Liu tribe's other factions still attacked them — Why was Liu Wen Wu helping an external member instead of nurturing Liu tribe's own Gu Masters? If Mo Shi Kuang became an immortal through Liu Wen Wu's help, it would be an even worse situation when he becomes a member of his political faction. This would be a weakness for the other factions to target! Sometimes, Liu Wen Wu envied the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent. The supreme elders of these ancient sects were able to create their own sects under their personal name to gather and distribute Central Continent's resource points. If they were able to nurture Gu Immortals, then those would become their subordinates or companions. This was a superb political method by the ten great ancient sects to control Central Continent. But this could not work in the super clan dominated regions. Creating one's own force was too much of a taboo. Like in Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's lifetime, he wanted a hereditary monarchy, he wanted to unify and rule the entire world. Eastern Sea's Hua Ben Ku, Central Continent's Mu Huai, and Northern Plains' Ouyang Bi Sang… With the deep foundation of the super forces, they knew the secrets behind immortal ascension, thus, many of their Gu Immortal seeds were quickly using the opportunity to ascend. Southern Border. "Oh no!" Yi Peng had a grim expression, he watched as the heaven, earth and human qi lost their balance. Within the qi lump, Gu Master Yi Chong failed the immortal ascension, by the time the three qi lump dispersed, he was almost reduced to a stick, his arms and legs were gone, his entire body was a bloody mess. Calamities and tribulations could be resisted by allies, but the balancing of three qi was something that only the Gu Master could handle, no one else could help. "Sigh, you were too immersed in the natural inspiration. I already told you not to be greedy!" Yi Peng landed beside Yi Chong and sighed regrettably. Yi Chong did not move, after a few breaths of time, he died. Half a month later. On an unknown mountain in Central Continent, Ben Duo Yi succeeded in the immortal ascension. "I've finally become a rank six Gu Immortal." He had a complex emotion, while he felt joy and excitement, there was also regret. In order to resist the calamities and tribulations while balancing the three qi, he gave up on the chance of natural inspiration. Ben Duo Yi's master was Yu Mu Chun, a refinement path quasi-great grandmaster, and also a member of Shadow Sect. From this aspect, Ben Duo Yi was also a remnant of Shadow Sect. He was chosen by Yu Mu Chun due to his exceptional talent. Ben Duo Yi was more witty than the average hairy man, he had clear thoughts and did not lose to humans in terms of spirituality. This successful immortal ascension also proved that Yu Mu Chun had great foresight. After cleaning up, Ben Duo Yi quickly left the mountain. Not long after, a Gu Immortal arrived at this place. "This is it." "The star array calculation formation showed that someone underwent tribulation here." "Oh? Seems like a lone cultivator." After inspecting, this Gu Immortal obtained some clearer clues. His eyes started to shine. The immortal ascension of lone cultivators was very difficult, since they succeeded, it meant that they were very valuable. "If I can recruit this person successfully, I will earn a huge sum of contribution points. This person can also be in my faction in the future." Places with people would have competition for benefits, leading to conflict. As long as the internal conflict of a sect was well managed, it would be a great system for eliminating the weak and nurturing the strong. The sect higher-ups were willing to see this. However, this Gu Immortal did not know that the person undergoing tribulation was not a purebred human but a hairy man. Ben Duo Yi's immortal ascension was just one of countless others. First, the five regions' super forces' Gu Immortal seeds made their attempt, afterwards, lone immortals and demonic cultivators also gave it a shot. Gradually, the trend of immortal ascension was formed. The immortal ascension trend involved the righteous path, demonic cultivator, and even lone cultivators. Many lone cultivators like Ben Duo Yi emerged and showed themselves, surprising the world with their appearance. The super forces of the five regions were also involved. Among super forces, there was even some hidden competition! Tie clan's Tie Ruo Nan became a rank six metal path Gu Immortal. Shang clan's Shang Xin Ci succeeded in her immortal ascension. Two of Western Desert's Lin clan's Gu Masters became immortals at the same time. Eastern Sea's Nan Gong clan did not fall behind, in just seven days, two Gu Masters took a risk and succeeded, they both had considerable gains. Next, Southern Border's Tie clan spread joyous news again. The revived Tie Mu Bai and Tie Bai Qi both succeeded in their immortal ascension. The one that shocked the five regions' Gu Immortal world the most was Southern Border's Wu clan. Wu clan's Zhong Yi, Wu Shen Tong, Divine Doctor Sheng Shou, Wei Shen Jing, and others became rank six Gu Immortals, there were a total of nine people who succeeded, this was the number one record in the five regions! Wu clan was lacking Gu Immortals previously, but under Wu Yong's reform, they took in a large number of external elders. With these Gu Immortals' presence, Wu clan immediately became the Southern Border's super force with the most number of Gu Immortals! Immediately, all sorts of congratulatory letters from various forces were sent to Wu Yong via treasure yellow heaven or information path Gu worms. Wu clan gained a huge amount of fame but Wu Yong only snickered coldly without feeling happy at all. "Such celebrations are just a form of self-consolation for the chaotic future under the rule of the venerables. So what if we have more Gu Immortals, can we be safe? Against the venerables, we are all ants." "Moreover, in terms of numbers, Heavenly Court, Longevity Heaven, and the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance definitely have the most number of immortal ascensions. They are huge and possess too many super forces under them." Wu Yong was extremely clear of the situation. He knew that the true trial was not the number of successful immortal ascensions, it was the huge impact that these new external supreme elders would cause after joining Wu clan, when they go against the traditional factions that had been long established through time. As the first supreme elder of Wu clan, Wu Yong needed to maintain the stability of the clan, if there was too many internal conflicts, they would weaken themselves. In that case, he might as well not implement this change. Central Continent. Xiao Qi Xing descended from the sky. There was some dust on his white robe. His eyebrows were sharp like swords, his body was straight like a spear, his expression was cold and he gave off an aura of pride. "Good, good, good." Gu Immortal Xiao Bai Hong laughed as he stroked his beard, looking at Xiao Qi Xing with a gaze of appreciation: "As expected of my beloved great-grandson. You went through the immortal ascension without external help." Xiao Qi Xing replied: "Great-grandfather, this is nothing to be proud of. Many lone cultivators could achieve it, so why can't I? Rank six is merely the starting point." "Hahaha, well said!" Xiao Bai Hong's laughter became even louder. Next, Xiao Qi Xing asked the other nine children of human path. "What? Sun Yuan Hua, Gu Ting, and the rest became rank six Gu Immortals but did not refine their vital Gu into an Immortal Gu?" "Hehe, they are really trash!" Different from the others, the immortal ascension of the ten children of human path were kept secret. They were the key to developing human path in Central Continent, they were the future pillars of human path. Before they grew to a certain level, it was better to let them grow safely. Some succeeded in their immortal ascension, some died while taking risks. Some made their ancestors proud, their names were spread throughout the world, while some kept quiet and developed earnestly, keeping a low profile. Some did not try to undergo immortal ascension, like Feng Jin Huang. Some did not even have the qualification to try, for example, Southern Border's Xia Cha and Ba Shi Ba. There were also some who were preparing to undergo immortal ascension, like Western Desert's Mo Li, and sovereign immortal aperture's Gu Yue Fang Xiang.

Chapter 2289: Natural Inspiration | Reverend Insanity

Southern Border. Deep within a certain Earth Trench. Kong Ri Tian made the final inspection of the Gu formation and confirmed that it was operational. For the last ten or so days, he had purposely picked this location and set up several Gu formations in the vicinity of over ten li. "Although I am not specialized in formation path, I can still create some simple mortal formations. With these formations, you will be able to quickly notice any peculiarities in the surroundings." "You have my guidance, your chance of success at immortal ascension is high." Kong Sheng Tian's will was inside Kong Ri Tian's mind, he said with some confidence. Kong Ri Tian nodded: "Ancestor, is there anything else I need to know?" Kong Sheng Tian thought about it and said: "Don't be greedy during the natural inspiration, but remember to make good use of it. Since you cultivate qi path, ask heaven's will questions about qi path related matters, don't go after the secrets of other paths, it will not be worth it." "Natural inspiration has its limits, you can't receive an infinite amount of information." "Furthermore, when asking qi path related questions, don't be too broad or demand too much. Don't ask for rank eight or nine qi path Immortal Gu recipes, you won't receive a complete one. Even if you obtain an incomplete recipe, it may not even have five percent of the content!" Kong Ri Tian kept these words in his mind as he nodded: "Then I'll ask qi path related questions that are problems that I currently face." "That is the right thing to do." Kong Sheng Tian laughed loudly. Kong Ri Tian shattered his aperture and started the tribulation. Heaven and earth qi surged in the surroundings, forming a three days flying ring tribulation. The flying ring was powerful and soared in the sky, lasting for three days and night. Kong Ri Tian resisted with difficulty, eventually becoming a rank six Gu Immortal with a high grade blessed land. Kong Sheng Tian's will sighed: "Your luck is very poor to have encountered such a tribulation. This tribulation is very special, it will last for three days and nights, even if you destroy the ring, it will regenerate." "To protect you, I expended almost all my immortal essence." "I told you not to provoke that Xiao Yan." Kong Ri Tian was confused: "What does this have to do with Xiao Yan?" Kong Sheng Tian said: "Xiao Yan's innate luck is comparable to you before obtaining Sheng Tian true inheritance. Most importantly, he is Shang Xin Ci's subordinate. This girl has incredible luck, going against Xiao Yan will cause your luck to be expended against Xiao Yan and Shang Xin Ci." "Now that your luck is low, when undergoing tribulation, the three days flying ring tribulation appeared to waste all of my remaining immortal essence." Kong Ri Tian had an unsightly expression. Back then, he attacked Xiao Yan and wanted to frame it on the demonic path Gu Master Bao Tong. In the end, an accident occurred as he did not expect the tap fire to contain an immortal material flame. Kong Ri Tian was not a Gu Master then, he did not want to waste the precious immortal essence for Kong Sheng Tian to use his immortal method, thus, an intense battle broke out and the tap fire was dispersed, causing the immortal essence flame inside to explode. The immortal material flame burned the entire mountain and could not be stopped, Xiao Yan and Bao Tong were both trapped in the fire. Kong Ri Tian managed to escape with the help of Kong Sheng Tian's will. To think that the backlash of that decision would influence Kong Ri Tian's immortal ascension. Kong Sheng Tian sighed: "I underestimated that Shang Xin Ci. Unless your cultivation level and battle strength surpasses her completely, do not provoke her anymore. Do not even touch anyone who is close to her." Kong Ri Tian gritted his teeth: "Ancestor, are you exaggerating this?" "Hmph, foolish child. Innate luck[1. There are a lot of ways to write luck in Chinese, this one is written as 'qi variable', which is why qi path is involved.] is profound and mystical, back in my days when qi path dominated the world, many geniuses were able to catch a glimpse of it profundity." "Do not underestimate the variance of luck." "Look at Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. I believe this person must have used innate luck as a reference when he created luck path." "You have already become a Gu Immortal, you should learn more. Gu cultivation paths are not independent of each other, they influence and affect each other in a connected way. The connection between qi path and luck path is this innate luck." Eventually, Kong Sheng Tian's will convinced Kong Ri Tian after a lengthy talk. "Gu Immortal cultivation is far more profound and deep than Gu Master cultivation. I am lucky to have your help, ancestor, otherwise, I would have to undergo immortal ascension without knowing anything!" Kong Ri Tian sighed. Next, he consulted: "What do I do now, what is the most important thing?" Kong Sheng Tian's will did not hesitate: "Little fellow, although you become an immortal, there is not enough heaven and earth qi to help you refine your vital Gu into an Immortal Gu." "This qi path Gu worm is crucial to the entire Sheng Tian true inheritance." Kong Ri Tian understood at once: "So now, I need to refine that Immortal Gu?" Kong Sheng Tian's will snorted coldly: "Hehe, the ignorant have no fear. Do you think you can refine an Immortal Gu? Even if you go bankrupt, you will still have no chance of success." "Do you know that most rank six Gu Immortals do not even own one rank six Immortal Gu? Most rank seven Gu Immortals spend their lives trying to get a rank seven Immortal Gu. This is true even for venerables. Go and think about how hard it is for a Gu Immortal to refine an Immortal Gu that suits them!" Kong Ri Tian was tongue-tied, he felt shocked: "This is too hard, isn't it?" Kong Sheng Tian's will sighed: "Gu Immortal cultivation is tough, it is much risker than being a Gu Master. Kid, you need to learn to survive now. Each calamity and tribulation is a test. You have a higher starting point than many others, but you cannot act rashly. Especially in trying to refine an Immortal Gu, it can make you bankrupt without any gains in return." Kong Ri Tian was troubled: "What do I do now? Ancestor, you told me that I should make my vital Gu an Immortal Gu, but you also told me that I cannot refine Immortal Gu. So what should I do? Stop beating around the bush." Kong Sheng Tian's will snorted again: "Kid, are you willing to listen to me now? earlier, I told you time and again not to provoke that Xiao Yan, but what did you do? You are just too young!" "Yes, yes." Kong Ri Tian quickly apologized: "Ancestor, from now on, I will listen to you." Seeing that his descendant had given in, Kong Sheng Tian's will stopped wasting time, he said: "You are quite lucky to have a refinement path venerable like Fang Yuan in your era. Go make a transaction with him if you want to refine Immortal Gu." "Wait, you want me to transact with him in treasure yellow heaven? Aren't you afraid…" Before Kong Ri Tian could continue, Kong Sheng Tian rebuked him: "Do you think a grand venerable will care about a rank six Immortal Gu? I know what you are afraid of, aren't you afraid that Fang Yuan is still connected to Shang Xin Ci? But you did not do anything to her either." Kong Ri Tian heard this and thought about it, feeling a little hurt internally. Kong Sheng Tian's will was not wrong. In Kong Ri Tian and Shang Xin Ci's encounters, he had always suffered a loss. Last time, he was chased after by Shang Xin Ci and Wu Ji because of Sheng Tian true inheritance. Afterwards, he also suffered losses during his tribulation after provoking Xiao Yan. Shang Xin Ci was having a great life now, while Kong Ri Tian was suffering more now. "Let's go to treasure yellow heaven, we will talk to Fang Yuan's will." Eventually, Kong Ri Tian said. Back in Western Desert. The sandstorm stopped. Mo Li had rank six cultivation level, he bowed deeply at the featherman Gu Immortals in front of him. "Friends from Yi clan, thank you for the help. Otherwise, I would not have been able to become a Gu Immortal on my own." Mo Li thanked them sincerely. Ever since the contest in Sand Heap blessed land, he was saved by the mysterious super force, Yi clan, in Western Desert. Mo Li came to Yi clan's headquarters and after interacting with them, he found that they were actually all feathermen. This time, with the help of Yi clan's Gu Immortals, Mo Li became an immortal. Yi clan's Gu Immortal Zhou Yi Kou said: "Friend Mo Li, you are too polite. You are one who obtained Thieving Heaven true inheritance, that means you are his inheritor. Back then, our Yi clan's ancestor was helped by Lord Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and survived. With the help of his method, Yi clan was able to stay hidden for so many years." "Lord Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable is our benefactor, the entire Yi clan believes that Lord Demon Venerable has not died so easily without making a sound!" "By helping you now, we also want to repay the debt we owe to Lord Thieving Heaven." "If one day in the future, Lord Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable revives, our entire Yi clan will follow him by his side." "Thus, we are comrades." Mo Li was deeply moved by the featherman Gu Immortal Zhou Yi Kou's words, he had a warm feeling in his heart. Central Continent. Wei Wu Shang looked at the qi lump in his immortal aperture with a heated gaze. Just earlier, he had succeeded in the tribulation, becoming a human path Gu Immortal. He obtained a high grade blessed land, the remaining heaven and earth qi was enough for him to refine a vital Immortal Gu. His vital Gu was thief Gu, it was already enveloped in heaven and earth qi now. "I heard that Gu Ting, Sun Yuan Hua, and the rest became immortals but did not refine a human path Immortal Gu. I am different from them!" "Recently, while deeply asleep at night, I had the urge to pee and woke up. At that moment, I gained a burst of inspiration and comprehended thief Gu's Immortal Gu recipe." "With this Immortal Gu recipe and so much heaven and earth qi remaining, I can definitely refine thief Immortal Gu. Hahaha, this Immortal Gu recipe is worth waking up to pee at night." Although Wei Wu Shang entered the derivation formation, his memories were altered and caused him to think that it was inspiration that allowed him to create thief Immortal Gu's recipe. But… After fifteen minutes. Wei Wu Shang grunted as he fell to the ground. The heaven and earth qi were completely expended while his vital Gu was heavily damaged. "I failed the Gu refinement?" "Impossible!" Wei Wu Shang could not believe what had happened. "To refine the vital Gu, I used heaven and earth qi. This is borrowing the power of heaven and earth to refine Gu, it has nothing to do with my refinement path attainment. So how did I fail?" Wei Wu Shang could only think of one explanation: "I failed because Immortal Gu is unique?!" Thinking of this, Wei Wu Shang shook his head. In his view, this was even more impossible. It meant that someone else had already refined thief Immortal Gu. "I am the creator of thief Immortal Gu, how can anyone get the recipe before me? Unless… thief Immortal Gu already exists naturally in the world?" "But that's also strange… human path should not have developed this deeply yet." Wei Wu Shang fell into deep confusion as he contemplated.

Chapter 2290: Heaven's Will, Please Scram | Reverend Insanity

Heavenly Court. Another Gu Immortal walked out of the derivation formation. This female immortal wore golden armor, there was a golden cape flowing down her back, extending from her shoulder to the ground. She was taller than normal people and her shoulders were broad, when she walked, her long legs were the most eye-catching as they made her look beautiful and elegant. Her nose bridge was tall, her lips were thin and her eyes were also thin. She had outstanding presence, she was like born royalty that ruled above the common man. When she looked at people, because of her height, she often had to look down. She had an authoritative aura that was fermented naturally within her, people would lower their heads and not dare to look at her directly, it was as if they could only look at her feet in order to not offend her. She was Qin Ding Ling. After walking out of the derivation formation, Qin Ding Ling quickly recovered her senses. She turned around and looked at the derivation formation behind her, her eyes shone with unprecedented brightness. She was very excited! Her entry to the formation gave her great gains. The most exciting thing that she obtained from this derivation formation was the hope for Heavenly Court to defeat Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, and Spectral Soul Demon Venerable! Why was that? Simply because the derivation formation's ability to develop a Gu cultivator's path was just too powerful. Like how Qin Ding Ling obtained huge gains when she entered the formation this time. This was not just her personal growth, it helped to push the entire luck path forward in development. Thanks to her going into the formation, the luck path of the world took a huge stride forward, obtaining huge development. What did this mean? This meant that as long as more luck path Gu Immortals like Qin Ding Ling entered the derivation formation, luck path would develop further. When the number of times accumulate, the quantitative growth would trigger a qualitative transformation. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would be kicked out of his supreme grandmaster attainment level! Supreme grandmaster attainment level meant that the Gu cultivator's understanding of a certain path was equivalent to the world. After Qin Ding Ling entered the formation, she became the core that used the vast number of inheritances in Heavenly Court to deduce many new research results of luck path. These new results were just some accumulation that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable could decipher with just a glance. Because these luck path research results were still under the scope of the current profundity of luck path, it had not exceeded the existing limits. It was a quantitative growth but not a qualitative change. But once the quantity accumulated, there would be a qualitative transformation. Once there was a qualitative change, the entire world's luck path attainment level would rise by a level, while Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's attainment level would lag behind. At that point, he would no longer be a luck path supreme grandmaster! In that case, he would not be a Dao Lord anymore and would not be able to refine natural luck path dao marks. That would be a disastrous blow to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable! "It is a pity that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had been protecting luck path from getting spread widely in the world." "Otherwise, if there are more luck path Gu Immortals like me to enter the derivation formation, we will be able to kick Giant Sun Immortal Venerable out of supreme grandmaster attainment level." Qin Ding Ling expressed her pity towards this. After leaving the derivation formation, she would not be able to enter for a long time. Going in forcefully would not have any gains but instead cause her irreparable harm. It was too late to start nurturing luck path Gu Immortals. Only a peak rank eight Gu cultivator like Qin Ding Ling could promote the advancement of the entire luck path. Of course, it was not impossible for other luck path Gu Immortals or Gu Masters. But they had not reached the apex of luck path, it was simply too hard to exceed the current accomplishments of heaven and earth. For Heavenly Court, this was too costly to try and the gains they could derive from it were just too small. "Next, it is my turn." Fairy Maiden Soul smiled at Qin Ding Ling as she walked past the latter. Fairy Maiden Soul went into the derivation formation and vanished. She was Heavenly Court's soul path great expert from Spectral Soul's era, she was on par with Thunder Ghost True Monarch. This entry into the formation would derive great gains, it would promote the development of the world's soul path. "It is a pity that Heavenly Court currently lacks refinement path great experts. There are many refinement path Gu Immortals in the ten great ancient sects but few are rank eight. Furthermore, none are great experts who have reached a certain height of refinement path." Qin Ding Ling pondered. Heavenly Court's derivation formation showed the terrifying power of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable! But to kick a venerable out of supreme grandmaster attainment level, the difficulty was too high. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's soul path, and Heaven Refining Demon Venerable's refinement path. There was a need to have many Gu cultivators in these three paths. Heavenly Court had the derivation formation but rank nine derivation Gu was not refined by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, thus, it was still wild and took in natural essence on its own. As a result, the derivation formation needed very little immortal essence to operate. But Heavenly Court lacked crucial members. Without enough great experts in these paths, the derivation formation could not kick the venerables out of their thrones. "Maybe, this is the reason why Heavenly Court needs to focus on developing human path?" Qin Ding Ling had a flash of inspiration. She could only see a small part of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's plan, she could not decipher the big picture. Eastern Sea. The sea was calm without any waves. Gu Yue Fang Xiang was at the crucial moment of his immortal ascension. Heaven, earth and human qi had already surrounded him completely. Gu Yue Fang Xiang gritted his teeth as he did his best to balance the three qi, condensing them as much as he could. "I must succeed!" "I need to become a Gu Immortal to save my mother." "Also, I need to become a Gu Immortal and gain more strength to find my father!" Gu Yue Fang Xiang cheered himself on, but soon, most of his attention was diverted to something else. At this moment, he sensed heaven's will. This was the moment for natural inspiration! "You must succeed." The mermaid immortal Lian Ke Xin floated in the air openly as she appeared right beside Gu Yue Fang Xiang. Her eyes did not move at all, she stared at him fixedly. Unfortunately, the process of balancing the three qi could not be interrupted, otherwise, Lian Ke Xin would rather do it for him. This time, she had taken the mission from the mission board to 'accidentally' meet Gu Yue Fang Xiang and coax him to go to a place suitable for immortal ascension. The truth was, Fang Yuan secretly opened sovereign immortal aperture's door to bring Gu Yue Fang Xiang to the five regions. While Gu Yue Fang Xiang was undergoing tribulation, Fang Yuan hid near him but was not idling. He was secretly using a powerful rank nine heaven path killer move. It was not obscured heavenly secret, this was — Stealing Heavenly Secret! After activating this move, one could steal the knowledge of heaven's will when a Gu Master undergoes ascension and experiences natural inspiration. Stealing heavenly secret killer move's first core was the rank nine heavenly secret Immortal Gu, the second core was rank eight great thief Immortal Gu. Back then, when Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable first created rank eight heavenly secret Gu, the initial goal was to use it to sense heaven and earth, attempting to artificially enter natural inspiration. Normally, a Gu cultivator would only have one opportunity at natural inspiration in their life. When a Gu Master undergoes immortal ascension, they would use the opportunity when the aperture turns into an immortal aperture world to gain the recognition of heaven's will and communicate with it. At this time, the Gu Master would be able to ask heaven's will questions, and their inquiries would be answered to a certain extent. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity but the extent of answers was limited. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable succeeded. There were no events in the world that heaven and earth did not know of. Just using rank eight heavenly secret Gu would allow the Gu cultivator to ask heaven's will and get an answer. It was able to expose the secrets of heaven and earth, even without any evidence, the Gu Immortal could reach the truth. By using heavenly secret Gu with other Gu worms, before undergoing tribulation, they would be able to find out the content of the calamities and tribulations to make appropriate countermeasures. And in terms of concealment, obscured heavenly secret was the best example. If Fang Yuan used rank nine heavenly secret Gu alone, he would not be able to get any answers from heaven's will. Because heaven's will did not like him. Fang Yuan was one of the main culprits who destroyed fate Gu, heaven's will had been trying to kill him the entire time. With such a relationship, how could heaven's will give him any answers? Fang Yuan understood the advantages of natural inspiration. Earlier in the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, why did he produce so many powerful killer moves? Other than self deduction, he had also secretly used the natural inspiration of many Gu Masters in his immortal aperture when they ascended, saving him precious time and energy. Without these exceptional killer moves, Fang Yuan would have gotten killed by the two venerables. Thus, natural inspiration was a huge reason why Fang Yuan emerged victorious in Crazed Demon Cave. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable wanted more natural inspiration opportunities, so did Fang Yuan! Every Gu cultivator knew the precious value of natural inspiration. To do this, Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable created rank eight heavenly secret Gu, what about Fang Yuan? He made stealing heavenly secret killer move. This killer move was created long ago, but it was only rank eight then and had limited strength. Honestly speaking, it was worthless. Too much immortal essence was expended for too little gains. He might as well order Gu Masters to ask specific questions during their natural inspiration. But this was in the past. Right now, the situation had changed greatly. The reason was rank nine heavenly secret Gu! Where did rank nine heavenly secret Gu originate from? Truthful floating ice. This was Limitless Demon Venerable's arrangement, he had used the chaos outside the world to fuel the Crazed Demon formation, it was a grand accomplishment from countless years of effort. Starting from the eighth layer, Crazed Demon Cave was isolated from the five regions. Crazed Demon formation was no exception. But Fang Yuan refined rank nine heavenly secret Gu in his own sovereign immortal aperture, it was also isolated from the five regions. This meant that the current Gu cultivation world did not have the recipe of rank nine heavenly secret Gu. By having rank nine heavenly secret Gu, on just this point, Fang Yuan was already above the entire world! Rank eight stealing heavenly secret had limited power but rank nine stealing heavenly secret was above the world, it surpassed even heaven's will! Each time there was a Gu Master undergoing natural inspiration, Fang Yuan would activate rank nine stealing heavenly secret killer move. The gains were simply unimaginably immense! Fang Yuan had a chance to observe everything that happened in the world. In normal situations, the natural inspiration of Gu Masters was limited, this was the restriction set by heaven's will. But Fang Yuan's stealing heavenly secret could directly steal the answer, it did not matter what heaven's will intended to do!
