Western Desert.

Fang Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a jade green forest.

There was a blue lake, it was like a sapphire in a sea of yellow sand, it was extremely beautiful.

This was a small oasis, there was a natural spirit spring here.

Oases like this were usually the foundation of a mortal clan. If a Gu Master stayed here and preserved the spirit spring, if it developed well, it could become a mid size or even a large size oasis.

Humans chose environments that were suitable for living, and at the same time, they would modify the natural environment to suit their needs.

This was the coexistence between people and nature in Western Desert.

However, now, this newly formed oasis was going to be destroyed.

Because Fang Yuan and the rest would destroy all the traces left behind when they left for a new location.

Even though they were hit by Heavenly Court's killer move, they had to guard against enemies in Western Desert, especially when heaven's will was plotting all the time.

"This deduction finally has some results." Fang Yuan let out a breath of air, feeling slightly happy.

Ever since he saw the power of inextinguishable star target, he started to resolve this problem.

Immortal killer move self cleansing was good, it had to be used time and time again with fixed durations, but Fang Yuan could modify it to be a lasting move.

Fang Yuan had the foundation for this.

Because he was a wisdom path grandmaster, and self cleansing was a wisdom path killer move, he could modify it.

And he had a crucial Immortal Gu.

It was because of this Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan had great confidence.

This Immortal Gu was Perseverance.

Rank seven perseverance Immortal Gu's effect was to supplement other Immortal Gu or killer moves in their duration. For example, when Fang Yuan became an ancient sword dragon, his sword light dragon breath had to be breathed out each time. But if he used perseverance Immortal Gu, he could use the sword light dragon breath continuously, until his throat reached its limit.

Perseverance Immortal Gu was suited for the modification of self cleansing.

Recently, Fang Yuan had been moving around while deducing, he had finally gotten some results now.

He succeeded in making Immortal Gu Perseverance the second core of this self cleansing killer move.

This way, self cleansing could be used for longer durations, it would get rid of Fang Yuan's unfavorable dao marks continuously.

"But this would not be enough to clear all the dao marks." Fang Yuan had a deep gaze, he did not relax.

He knew that another tough problem was coming.

Even if self cleansing could be used continuously, Fang Yuan did not have the time to wait.

He was currently being pursued, even though Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals were nowhere to be seen, they might be tailing him already.

At any time, it was possible for Fang Yuan and the rest to be pursued and sneak attacked.

Using self cleansing, it would take a month at least to get rid of Fang Yuan's inextinguishable star target dao marks.

In this month, he had to use the killer move non-stop.

Inextinguishable star target was hard to deal with, the more dao marks removed, the faster they regenerated.

Fang Yuan had done his best to reach this stage, he could not raise self cleansing's effect anymore.

"According to the situation, I need to be on the run at all times, it is impossible for me to get a month's time. And even if I have a month, what about the others? They were also hit by inextinguishable star target."

There was no chance of doing so.

Fang Yuan's biggest worry was that Heavenly Court would come out and ruin everything when he was about to succeed.

If that happened, he would have expended a lot of immortal essence without getting rid of inextinguishable star target. Next, if he fought the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals or escaped, inextinguishable star target would regenerate, the dao marks would grow and Fang Yuan's efforts would be in vain.

"And self cleansing is an immortal killer move, using it would expend not only a lot of immortal essence, but to sustain it, I need to use up a lot of mental energy on it."

"I have not used this killer move much, I am not proficient with it. Including the times when I will fail, not only will I waste immortal essence and need to heal myself, even without Heavenly Court's interference, I will weaken greatly if this goes on."

"Escaping to Lang Ya blessed land is impossible too. Not only I am under Heavenly Court's surveillance and would expose Lang Ya blessed land's location, the journey is too long, there is too much danger in going there, there is not only Heavenly Court and heaven's will, Northern Plains even has Longevity Heaven."

Of course, there were difficulties and also solutions.

Fang Yuan soon thought of a counter measure for this.

He had enough strength to execute this plan as well.

That was to use formation path.

He needed to modify the killer move, self cleansing, into an immortal Gu formation.

This was not out of this world.

As mentioned earlier, Gu formations were in essence killer moves, but they were formation path killer moves.

If Fang Yuan had a self cleansing Gu formation, it would be much easier. He would need to expend much less immortal essence and mental energy to sustain the Gu formation compared to using killer moves.

Furthermore, the killer move self cleansing was effective on Fang Yuan alone, other Gu Immortals needed to learn the move to use it themselves later.

But if it was an immortal Gu formation, then Shadow Sect's Gu Immortals could enter the formation and get rid of the inextinguishable star target dao marks on their bodies.

"Thus, not only do I need to modify the killer move and turn it into an immortal Gu formation, I also need Gu worms like formation plate Gu, formation flag Gu, or formation chart Gu, and it would be great if they were Immortal Gu."

Immortal level formation plate Gu, Lang Ya Sect had one.

This Immortal Gu's effect was to use all sorts of Gu worms to set up a Gu formation on its own. The Gu Immortal only needed to provide immortal essence for it, they did not need any formation path attainment.

Formation flag Gu was used to manage a Gu formation that was already set up. When Gu Immortals use formation flag Gu, they can choose a Gu formation and directly keep it inside formation flag Gu.

Next, within their line of sight, the Gu Immortal can bring formation flag Gu and teleport away.

After finding a suitable location, they can activate formation flag Gu to set up the Gu formation again at a new location.

As for formation chart Gu, it was a type of consumable Gu.

Formation chart Gu recorded the information of a Gu formation, it has a similar effect to formation plate Gu, but the chances of error were much smaller compared to formation plate Gu.

These three Gu worms suited Fang Yuan greatly.

Tremor desert.

This special desert would have intense tremors from time to time.

Deep under tremor desert, an immortal Gu formation was slowly activated.

Han Li walked in with a nervous expression, he encouraged himself: "This is the final test of the formation path true inheritance left by Gu Immortal Zhen Yuan Zi. Han Li, work hard!"

-x-X-x-

This was a bronze hall.

At the center of the hall, there was a metallic lamp hanging on a crane neck. The neck was long and curvy, at the tip of its beak, there was a flame that was the size of a peach.

This flame shone over the entire hall.

The flame was weak, the corners of the bronze hall were still covered in darkness.

A thin young Gu Master was standing on a huge concrete tile of the palace. There was a huge pillar beside him, it was red and thick, to encircle it, three grown men would need to stretch their arms out.

When the light shined, the pillar blocked a huge portion of it, the young Gu Master's body was half concealed in darkness and shadows.

It was Han Li.

Han Li was currently covered in sweat, he was uncertain in his heart.

"I was too overconfident!"

"This senior Zhen Yuan Zi might be a righteous path Gu Immortal, but someone like me has no qualifications to take his true inheritance."

"I could get to this point after exerting all my energy, some of the steps were through pure luck!"

Han Li had gone through a lot, he was clear about the danger of this bronze hall.

Thinking about it, he felt great lingering fear.

Actually, righteous path inheritances were usually not dangerous, demonic path was the one with vicious set-ups and schemes.

Although Zhen Yuan Zi's inheritance test had its dangers, they were nothing of concern for Gu Immortals. But for the Gu Master Han Li, it was too dangerous.

Han Li was someone with great luck, and because his luck was connected to Fang Yuan, he had endless fortuitous encounters, he had rank four cultivation level now.

Such cultivation speed, at this age without any Gu Immortals helping him, was really rare.

Han Li stood on the spot, he did not take a step ahead, he tried to turn around and look at the path he had walked on, he wanted to retreat.

This Zhen Yuan Zi's Gu Immortal true inheritance was too high level for him, even though it was alluring, Han Li had already woken up and faced reality.

He thought for a while before moving his right leg towards the back.

At the next moment, his field of vision changed.

"I went ahead instead?"

Han Li looked around, his expression turning pale.

He found that the red pillar was far behind him, he had advanced by more than ten steps ahead.

He had become much closer to that metallic crane neck lamp now.

As long as he can get there, Han Li would be able to inherit Zhen Yuan Zi's true inheritance.

But right now, Han Li had already decided on retreating.

His advancement was just because of pure chance, he had accidentally done it. His true intention was to leave the place, but he actually went forward instead.

It was obvious that if he wanted to advance and chose other directions to move, the result would be disastrous.

Han Li as a lone cultivator had shallow foundations in formation path, he was nearly clueless. To put it nicely, he was an unschooled cultivator with just some cheap tricks.

He could get here because of his intelligence, his calm decisions, and pure luck.

Out of these elements, luck was the most prominent aspect.

And this made Han Li increasingly less confident.

Because luck was not dependable. If a logical person does things solely based on luck, that was just gambling.

"Sigh! I am betting my life now... it seems that moving back towards the right is safer." Han Li observed, at this point, he was clueless, he was moving based on feelings.

So he moved back.

Swoosh.

His field of vision changed again, the result was shocking, because his advancement was even greater now, he was dozens of steps ahead!

The metallic crane neck lamp that represented success was very close to him now, Han Li could barely touch it with his arms outstretched now.

Of course, he was still a small distance from success.

And this tiny distance meant everything.

Han Li hesitated.

Facing this situation, he was sure to waver. After all, success was right in front of him, there was just one step left.

"But is this really correct?" Han Li fell into difficult contemplation.

Time passed quickly, but in his perception, he felt like it was only one instant.

The difficult decision made him sweat profusely. But in the end, his reason surpassed the greed in his heart.

"How can one blindly rely on chance in the road of cultivation?" Han Li let out a breath of air, he relaxed his body, his entire mental state settled.

He started to find the way to retreat.

This bronze hall was just created by the formation space. It was like the palace that Fang Yuan lived in at the Southern Border super dream realm Gu formation.

Han Li was currently at the center of the Gu formation.

However, the path of retreat was very obvious now.

Even Han Li with little formation path foundation could tell.

Han Li had a clear mind, following this path of retreat, he went back and got further away from the metallic crane neck lamp.

"I hope my following journey is as simple and smooth as this." Han Li thought that when his field of vision changed suddenly.

He was shocked to find out that he had directly appeared before the metallic crane neck lamp!

"What, what happened?" Han Li could not understand.

A will slowly woke up in the lamp.

An old voice spoke in Han Li's head in a groggy tone, like it had just woken up: "Not bad, not bad, fated one, you were able to get past the formation and arrive before me, it shows that you are qualified to inherit the true inheritance."

Han Li was extremely embarrassed: "I, I actually wanted to leave."

The voice became clearer and smoother: "Hehe, this was Zhen Yuan Zi's intention when he made the formation. When the metallic crane neck lamp is extremely close to you, any decision of moving forward is wrong. Only a Gu Immortal with incredible wisdom and deep formation path attainment will understand this. The only way forward is backwards. Or perhaps those Gu Immortals who had low formation path attainment but knew when to retreat, they would have a chance of getting the true inheritance because of their wise choice."

Han Li understood finally: "This means that I am the second type. And, aren't you senior Zhen Yuan Zi's will?"

"Of course not, I am formation spirit Immortal Gu. I was created by senior Zhen Yuan Zi, nobody knew about me." The voice continued.

Han Li did not understand: "Formation Spirit?"

"Don't you get it? Blessed lands have land spirits, grotto-heavens have heavenly spirits, Gu formations naturally can have formation spirits... hmm? Why are you a Gu Master? You are not a Gu Immortal?!" Suddenly, the formation spirit shouted.

"I am sorry, I really am here by chance. If I am not qualified to get the true inheritance, can I leave?" Han Li smiled awkwardly.

The formation spirit was confused: "Unbelievable, you are not a Gu Immortal, how did you pass the middle steps? With just luck, how lucky must you be... oh no!"

"Oh no?!" Han Li thought that the formation spirit was going to praise his luck.

The formation spirit said loudly: "This is really bad! Zhen Yuan Zi had planned to pick a Gu Immortal inheritor. You do not have immortal essence, you cannot suppress the immemorial desolate beast green claw ghost winged lion under the formation. You obtained the true inheritance, this Gu formation is going to break apart, but you cannot subdue this green claw ghost winged lion, aren't you going to run? No, you can't possibly run away, right? We're finished, you're finished, to think that my new master who has just obtained the true inheritance is going to die like this!"

"No, there must be a way!" Han Li did not want to give up like this.

"There is no hope, the difference in strength is too great. Sigh..." The formation spirit that had manifested from formation spirit Gu was very pessimistic about this.

Like what it said, the Gu formation started to break apart, the entire bronze hall started to turn hollow.

The lamp floated and landed on Han Li's shoulder.

The true environment showed itself.

This was a huge hole under the desert.

Large amounts of sand started to fall, without the immortal Gu formation's support, this artificially created cave started to collapse.

Han Li had nowhere to escape.

Before him was a huge hill-sized green claw ghost winged lion sprawling on the ground.

It was sleeping now, if he was a Gu Immortal, he would be able to subdue it according to Zhen Yuan Zi's arrangements, even if he could not, he could make it sleep and prevent it from troubling the inheritor.

This was actually part of Zhen Yuan Zi's test too.

The green claw ghost winged lion was an immemorial desolate beast, if the inheritor was skilled enough, they would be able to control this green claw ghost winged lion.

But Han Li was not.

Not just that, he might get eaten by it instead.

Sand continued to fall, landing on the green claw ghost winged lion and waking it up.

Han Li attacked fiercely, but his mortal killer move landed on the green claw ghost winged lion like a gust of harmless wind.

The green claw ghost winged lion leaped forward and opened its mouth, devouring Han Li entirely!

-x-X-x-

A beautiful red cloud was flying in the sky.

"Green ghost desert is ahead." Dancer Hong Yun lay down on her red cloud as she shut her eyes in a relaxed manner.

She had a curvy body and was wearing a red dancing dress with yellow threads, her belly was exposed as well as her arms and legs.

There were golden jade bracelets on her wrists and ankles.

On her fingers, there were many jeweled rings, blue, green, and red, enhancing one another's beauty.

Her eyes had a deep gaze, her brows were thick and long, there was a faint green light in her eyes, even though they were half closed, she was still very alluring.

A translucent red veil was covering half her face, her tall nose and red lips were covered by the veil, it made people have the urge to explore what was truly behind that veil.

Dancer Hong Yun, she was a seductive rank seven female Gu Immortal.

She was once a demoness that roamed Western Desert, but unfortunately she trifled with a righteous path rank eight great expert, during the critical moment, Thousand Transformations Ancestor saved her.

Using that opportunity, Dancer Hong Yun became one of Thousand Transformations Ancestor's concubines.

But unfortunately, she was not his type, even though she was very beautiful and sexy, her status was lower than Fairy Cui Bo in Thousand Transformations Ancestor's heart.

Wild winds were blowing by her ears, the red cloud was soft like cotton but also very bouncy, it was very comfortable for Dancer Hong Yun to lie down on it.

This was Dancer Hong Yun's signature method, immortal killer move — Dancing Red Cloud.

Even though she did not normally have a good relationship with Fairy Cui Bo, they even competed very fiercely in secret, Fairy Cui Bo was in trouble now, Dancer Hong Yun had to go rescue her using her fastest method.

She was unwilling, of course, but now, there was Thousand Transformations Ancestor's will with her.

This will was here not only to help Dancer Hong Yun, but also to supervise her.

As long as this will was around, Dancer Hong Yun would need to do everything to save Fairy Cui Bo.

The red cloud traveled along the way, arriving in the sky above green ghost desert, soon, the weather changed.

Dark clouds started appearing.

Once she entered green ghost desert, dark clouds joined together and became even thicker, covering the sky entirely.

Ordinary deserts were hot and open.

But in green ghost desert, there was barely any sunlight, it was dark and gloomy.

There were many trees in this desert.

Ghost crying trees were one of the types that had the highest numbers.

This ghost crying tree was very twisted in shape and full of natural holes inside. It had deep tree bark markings, resembling the faces of crying humans.

Every time the wind blew on the ghost crying tree, it would shake slightly and emit a shrill scream, or terrifying cry.

Even during the day, this place was cold and dark, soul beasts roamed freely. When it was night time, cold bone-chilling winds would blow as countless ghosts wandered.

Dancer Hong Yun rode on her dancing red cloud as she moved past the dark clouds with a repressed feeling.

She was no longer as relaxed as before, she sat cross-legged and opened her eyes, staying vigilant at all times.

Green ghost desert was a famous place of danger in Western Desert.

It was related to a Demon Venerable in history.

That was the famed Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.

Before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable became a venerable, he had fought with a super clan here, he murdered all of the Gu Immortals in this Western Desert wood path clan overlord that were here.

The aftermath of the battle turned area this into green ghost desert.

This place seemed to be filled with the hatred and anger of the losers, they were filled with unhappiness and grief towards their horrible fate.

This was an ominous land.

There were a vast number of soul beasts living here. Even immemorial soul beasts were not rare.

After a hundred thousand years, there were many Western Desert Gu Immortals who died here.

Dancer Hong Yun had the guts to travel here, it was not because of her rank seven cultivation level or battle strength, it was because she had Thousand Transformations Ancestor's will and rank eight Immortal Gu.

And her travel route was just a corner of green ghost desert, she did not truly enter it deeply.

Thus, she chose to advance like this.

The cloud continued flying ahead, across the dark sky, it was very eye-catching.

Howl—!

There was a long howl resembling a wolf's cry, a huge hill-like soul beast appeared above Dancer Hong Yun, emerging from the deep dark clouds.

This was an ancient soul beast, it thought of Dancer Hong Yun as prey, opening its mouth and pouncing at her.

Dancer Hong Yun's pupils shrunk, she gritted her teeth and was about to strike.

At this time, Thousand Transformations' will spoke: "Let me handle it, Hong Yun, just advance."

Dancer Hong Yun heard this and became overjoyed, she listened to him.

Dancing red cloud did not stop at all, it continued forward without changing directions.

The rank eight Immortal Gu activated, as a strange resonance targeted the ancient soul beast.

The ancient soul beast opened its mouth, its huge body covered Dancer Hong Yun under its shadow, but at the crucial moment, its attack stopped eerily.

Next, its head exploded as a monkey jumped out, its claws turned into vines, its fur turned into grass, and from its flesh, countless crocodiles jumped out.

At once, the ancient soul beast broke apart and turned into countless random things.

Next, they fell from the sky, it was like a drizzle.

"So, so impressive, this is the power of rank eight mutation Immortal Gu?" Looking back, Dancer Hong Yun was filled with shock.

Killing an ancient desolate beast like killing a chicken.

It was too simple.

Dancer Hong Yun was aware that if she had to act personally, she would need to fight for a hundred rounds to force this ancient soul beast to retreat, if she was lucky, she might be able to kill it.

Once the ancient soul beast died, the ancient soul beasts near its territory became stirred up, they emerged from the dark clouds.

Thousand Transformations' will snorted coldly, he stopped concealing it as the rank eight Immortal Gu aura leaked out.

Feeling this aura, many ancient soul beasts returned to their hiding spots in the dark clouds, they did not want to mess with this troublesome foe.

Of course, a portion of the ancient soul beasts still wanted to attack Dancer Hong Yun, they were not deterred.

This was not a rank eight Gu Immortal's aura, after all, it was just a rank eight Immortal Gu.

Soul beasts did not have high intelligence, but after killing all the ancient soul beasts that attacked, Dancer Hong Yun felt relieved and increasingly relaxed.

After experiencing her power, the remaining ancient soul beasts left her alone.

These wild soul beasts had survival instincts, after feeling a life-threatening danger, they would choose to back off.

Roar—!

Just as Dancer Hong Yun relaxed her mind slightly, a loud beast roar resounded in her ears like thunder.

A huge lion with grey-white ghost wings on its back pounced at her fiercely.

Seeing this, Dancer Hong Yun's heart shook as she shouted: "Oh no, this is a green claw ghost winged lion, an immemorial desolate beast!!"

-x-X-x-

Green claw ghost winged lion!

This lion had a huge size, it ate souls as food.

Currently, this type of immemorial desolate beast was very rare. During Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's era, it was very common.

In fact, back then, green claw ghost winged lions were a huge hurdle for Spectral Soul in his youth.

After all, this immemorial desolate beast countered soul path. And even before Spectral Soul became a Demon Venerable, he used soul path as his main method.

However, in the end, Spectral Soul was superior, not only did he kill green claw ghost winged lions, he even excavated and obtained their innate talent.

Thereafter, when Spectral Soul had rank eight cultivation level, he often captured green claw ghost winged lions and finally managed to create the unprecedented soul devouring method!

The green claw ghost winged lion was very famous, when it appeared in front of Dancer Hong Yun, the latter could not help but be shocked.

But at the crucial moment, Thousand Transformations' will told her: "Don't worry, this lion's ghost wings are not outstanding, it is still very weak. This shows that it is not in a good condition, we can fight it."

Dancer Hong Yun heard this and calmed down instantly.

She took a look, indeed, the ghost wings of the green claw ghost winged lion were very thin, they were rather unfitting with the green claw ghost winged lion's huge body.

Dancer Hong Yun felt slightly ashamed, thinking: "Husband's will only has one rank eight Immortal Gu and a great amount of immortal essence, he has no investigative immortal methods, but he could expose the green claw ghost winged lion's weakness immediately. In contrast, I had the methods but was stunned and petrified, that should not have happened."

As she calmed down, she rode on the dancing red cloud and flew in an arc to avoid the green claw ghost winged lion.

Soon, she pulled some distance away from it.

"Hehe, this green claw ghost winged lion is really not in good condition, if it was even at thirty percent of its prime, you would not have been able to escape."

Thousand Transformations' will laughed, floating out and appearing beside Dancer Hong Yun.

Thousand Transformations' will directed its immortal essence into the rank eight Immortal Gu.

The Immortal Gu aura suddenly became extremely dense.

A mystical wave suddenly shot out, landing on the green claw ghost winged lion.

At the next moment, the green claw ghost winged lion screeched in pain as its tail turned into a venomous python.

The python had a long body, it coiled around the green claw ghost winged lion's body and bit on its face with its venomous teeth.

The green claw ghost winged lion quickly waved its black claws towards the python's body and head.

But the python was very tough, it actually went into a deadlock with the green claw ghost winged lion.

At once, the green claw ghost winged lion flapped its wings as it moved about in the sky, fighting with the python.

Dancer Hong Yun sat on her red cloud as she rose into the sky, staring at the battle vigilantly.

Thousand Transformations' will was beside her, using that mysterious rank eight Immortal Gu on the green claw ghost winged lion continuously.

With the mystical wave, soon, on the fur of the green claw ghost winged lion, tree buds started growing.

These were the ghost crying tree's buds.

The roots of the ghost crying trees started to grow in the flesh of the green claw ghost winged lion, absorbing nutrients.

The green claw ghost winged lion screeched in pain, it went berserk as it smashed the buds growing on its face and also destroyed the head of the python.

Even though the python's body was still coiled around the green claw ghost winged lion, it had thoroughly died with no strength remaining.

The green claw ghost winged lion was in a terrible state, its injuries were severe now.

"This is Thousand Transformations' signature Immortal Gu, Mutation! It can mutate everything, the green claw ghost winged lion's fur and tail became trees and python respectively."

"The green claw ghost winged lion destroyed them, but it was actually damaging itself since they had the same origin."

Dancer Hong Yun watched the battle as her heart shook, even though she had some understanding towards mutation Immortal Gu, after seeing this battle personally, she was still deeply impacted.

Thousand Transformations' will said solemnly: "As expected, this green claw ghost winged lion is not normal, it has deep injuries in its body, it only has ancient desolate level battle strength, and its ghost wings are useless. Strange... it should not lack food inside green ghost desert."

Even though he was suspicious, Thousand Transformations' will did not stop attacking.

Rank eight Immortal Gu Mutation activated again.

This time, the green claw ghost winged lion's right eye mutated, it turned into a venomous bee.

The bee did not fly away, it raised its venomous stinger and stabbed into the green claw ghost winged lion's eye socket, before piercing into its brain.

Howl!

The green claw ghost winged lion screamed desperately, causing huge sound waves to push away the dark clouds above it.

But its torture had not ended.

Soon, under the might of rank eight Immortal Gu Mutation, its claws and teeth grew rapidly, into ancient desolate plants.

The green claw ghost winged lion moved its wings rapidly and rushed down, trying to escape.

But Dancer Hong Yun did not let it go, she brought Thousand Transformations' will along with her.

Eventually, the green claw ghost winged lion crashed into the desert, creating a huge dust cloud several tens of feet in height.

When the dust settled, the mangled green claw ghost winged lion was motionless on the desert, it was dead.

"Go clean up the battlefield." Thousand Transformations' will informed as it went back into Dancer Hong Yun's body along with the Immortal Gu.

Dancer Hong Yun's eyes shone, she almost pounced at the green claw ghost winged lion's corpse.

"I'm rich!"

"This is the corpse of an immemorial desolate beast, rank eight immortal materials are rare even in treasure yellow heaven, it can refine rank eight Immortal Gu."

Dancer Hong Yun started to process the corpse with difficulty.

Even though she was a rank seven expert, faced with the corpse of an immemorial desolate beast, she could not dissect it easily.

After a lot of effort, Dancer Hong Yun managed to dissect half of it.

"It is a pity that the mutated portions of the green claw ghost winged lion cannot be used, they have no value. Hmm?"

When she tore open the green claw ghost winged lion's stomach, Dancer Hong Yun unexpectedly found Han Li.

Han Li had already fainted, he was barely alive.

"Why is there a mortal Gu Master here?" Dancer Hong Yun found it strange, she laughed: "Should I call you lucky or unlucky? You met an immemorial desolate beast, but it was the green claw ghost winged lion that devoured souls, because you have a physical body, you survived until now inside its stomach. If this was a normal immemorial desolate beast, you would have turned into meat paste already."

Dancer Hong Yun stretched her arm out and soul searched Han Li.

It was strange that a mortal Gu Master appeared here out of nowhere. Dancer Hong Yun was curious and wanted to know information about Han Li.

"Hmm? This fellow is called Han Li? Even though he has no background, his luck is really good."

"This... is Zhen Yuan Zi's formation path true inheritance?!"

Suddenly, Dancer Hong Yun's pupils expanded, her eyes shined brightly as her breathing became rough.

-x-X-x-

Dancer Hong Yun primarily cultivated cloud path, but because of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, soul searching methods became easy to learn, almost every Gu Immortal knew them.

Right now, as she soul searched Han Li, she learned about his experiences, and also his time inside the Gu formation.

"Interesting!" Dancer Hong Yun grabbed Han Li and went beneath the desert, quickly arriving at the underground cave.

The cave was nearly collapsed, but Dancer Hong Yun found that a small Gu formation was at a corner of the cave.

She arrived in front of it, a path opened to the Gu formation, the formation spirit was inside, saying: "Master!"

The formation spirit was calling for Han Li, of course.

"What a formidable formation spirit! The Gu formation had broken apart earlier, but it managed to assemble it again, this must be the work of the formation spirit." Dancer Hong Yun was moved.

"This way, Zhen Yuan Zi's true inheritance is also intact. Haha, this immortal opportunity is mine!" Dancer Hong Yun was extremely happy as she laughed.

Bright light shone across her eyes, carrying Han Li, she said: "Little fellow, I saved your life, in return, you will hand this true inheritance over to me completely."

Han Li opened his eyes: "Alright."

"You heard him, formation spirit, your master has given everything to me." Dancer Hong Yun turned around and said to the formation spirit.

"This..." The formation spirit was hesitant.

"What? You want to defy your master's orders?" Dancer Hong Yun frowned slightly.

The formation spirit was silent.

Dancer Hong Yun sneered: "Formation spirit, your original owner was Zhen Yuan Zi, he created the true inheritance to pass it down to future individuals, now that Han Li has met the requirements to become your new master, are you going to go against that?"

"Of course not." The formation spirit said without hesitation.

"Then will you listen to your new master Han Li's words?" Dancer Hong Yun asked.

"I will." The formation spirit said without hesitation again.

"In that case, Han Li is giving you to me to repay my act of gratitude, will you resist?" Dancer Hong Yun pressured.

The formation spirit was silent for a while, it felt that something was amiss, but it did not know what.

In the end, it sighed as it said: "No denying it, you are my new master."

"Hahaha, that is it, submit to me without any resistance." Saying this, Dancer Hong Yun injected her immortal essence.

The formation spirit did not resist, it was refined easily by the immortal essence.

It was the core of this Gu formation, it could manipulate the formation in place of the Gu Immortal, as long as there was enough immortal essence storage.

The formation spirit submitted to Dancer Hong Yun, the other Gu worms also went along with it, the immortal Gu formation quickly changed owners.

Dancer Hong Yun received several Immortal Gu, a large number of mortal Gu, as well as Zhen Yuan Zi's complete formation path true inheritance from the formation spirit.

The immortal formation was completely open to Dancer Hong Yun without any concealment now.

Dancer Hong Yun laughed loudly, she did not go in immediately, instead, she waved at Han Li.

Guh.

With a soft sound, Han Li turned into a pile of flesh, he was completely dead, even his soul was decimated.

It turned out that Han Li did not actually wake up, Dancer Hong Yun used her immortal level methods to instill her will and manipulate Han Li, having him agree to hand over the true inheritance to her.

It was very difficult to take Immortal Gu.

But Han Li was a mortal, while Dancer Hong Yun was a Gu Immortal.

The difference between immortal and mortal was too big, Dancer Hong Yun completely suppressed him with her strength, he could not resist at all.

Of course, if a mortal truly owned an Immortal Gu, it would not be easy for the Gu Immortal to take their Immortal Gu.

If they were not careful, the mortal will destroy the Immortal Gu with them, there would be nothing to gain.

Dancer Hong Yun's situation was very special.

Even though Han Li passed the test and became the true inheritance's inheritor, because of the green claw ghost winged lion, he did not refine the formation spirit or any of the other Gu worms.

Thus, the Gu worms left by Zhen Yuan Zi were still filled with Zhen Yuan Zi's will.

This was a loophole that Dancer Hong Yun made use of.

There was another special reason, it was the formation spirit.

Formation spirit Immortal Gu was a unique creation of Zhen Yuan Zi, he replicated land spirits and heavenly spirits, to create a formation spirit for the Gu Immortal, to assist in manipulating it.

Formation spirit Immortal Gu was a one time consumable Gu worm, the Immortal Gu would vanish after using it once, instead, a formation spirit would be born.

In the future, if a Gu Immortal wanted to use formation spirit Immortal Gu again, they would need to refine a new one.

The formation spirit had a certain level of intelligence, it was similar to land spirits and heavenly spirits, it could not lie, it was quite artless.

This gave Dancer Hong Yun the chance to lie and deceive it, attempting to convince it.

If there was no formation spirit and only a bunch of Gu worms, they could not talk to Dancer Hong Yun, she could not convince them.

But all in all, Dancer Hong Yun inherited Zhen Yuan Zi's formation path true inheritance.

"Zhen Yuan Zi was a Gu Immortal from the super force Che clan, to think that as a righteous path member, he actually left his true inheritance here instead of giving it to his clan." Thousand Transformations' will sighed: "It seems that the rumors were true, Zhen Yuan Zi was not on good terms with the clan, he was pushed aside by their Gu Immortals."

"This was all thanks to you, husband, that we could obtain this fortuitous encounter." Dancer Hong Yun smiled.

"Mm, after we save Cui Bo, and return to myriad statue desert, you will hand the true inheritance over to my main body. Don't worry, you will get your benefits." Thousand Transformations' will said plainly.

Dancer Hong Yun's felt some loss, she knew that if the true inheritance was handed over, the essence of it would be taken by Thousand Transformations Ancestor, it was uncertain how much would be left to her.

But she had to give it to him.

Throughout the process, Thousand Transformations' will was with her, watching everything.

Dancer Hong Yun had good strength, but against a rank eight existence, she had no strength to resist.

"But in the first place, if I was alone, I would not have taken this risk. We could encounter Zhen Yuan Zi's true inheritance because of husband's will."

Thinking of this, Dancer Hong Yun's mind became more peaceful.

She inspected her gains, there were three Immortal Gu, two were formation path Immortal Gu. Even though it was just a few, they were all rank seven.

And the formation spirit was considered half an Immortal Gu.

If not for the fact that this Gu formation broke apart once, Dancer Hong Yun would have even greater gains.

After changing her location, Dancer Hong Yun internally cursed at Han Li for being trash, a mere mortal who dared to try getting a Gu Immortal true inheritance, he truly deserved death!

-x-X-x-

"Master, you cannot dismantle the Gu formation. Once this Gu formation is destroyed, I will also be destroyed." At this time, the formation spirit said to Dancer Hong Yun.

Dancer Hong Yun nodded.

This formation spirit was really useful.

When the Gu formation collapsed earlier, without anybody controlling it, it should have just broken apart entirely. But because of the formation spirit, a portion of the Gu formation was salvaged and made into a smaller incomplete formation, it managed to last until now.

Just like how land spirits could fix their blessed lands when they had holes, formation spirits could do the same.

Dancer Hong Yun was not going to give up such a useful formation spirit.

The formation spirit said again: "Thankfully, there is a formation flag Gu in the Gu formation. Master should first use formation flag Gu, keep this Gu formation in formation flag Gu, before placing it into your immortal aperture."

Back then, since Zhen Yuan Zi created formation spirit Immortal Gu, he naturally understood its limitations, thus, he created formation flag Gu to supplement it.

Earlier, when the Gu formation collapsed, the formation spirit first salvaged formation flag Immortal Gu, thus, Dancer Hong Yun only needed to learn to control it now.

Some days later.

The night sky was filled with bright stars.

The air was cold, there was fog.

In Western Desert, on a very ordinary sand dune, the light on Fang Yuan slowly faded.

Eventually, all of his aura was concealed as the light turned into tiny specks that got drowned in the darkness of the night.

Fang Yuan let out a breath of air and suddenly opened his eyes.

"I wonder what is the final effect of this immortal killer move, fixed luck..."

These last days, while Fang Yuan was escaping, he had been using this immortal killer move from time to time.

He obtained fixed luck from Ma Hong Yun.

Fang Yuan found fixed luck from Ma Hong Yun's soul, of course, it meant that the killer move, fixed luck, was a part of all living beings luck from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's true inheritance.

Fixed luck was very suitable for Fang Yuan.

Its effect was to make one's luck unwavering and not easily influenced.

All along, Fang Yuan had been afraid of the weakness of Connect Luck.

After all, back then when he used Connect Luck on Han Li, Hong Yi, and Ye Fan, it was because they had strong luck. But things changed, after obtaining Dog Shit Luck, Fang Yuan's luck was superior to them.

This meant that Fang Yuan had to split his good luck to Han Li and the others.

This was detrimental to him.

Especially when using burning soul bursting luck, the luck he gained would not fully benefit him, a portion would be split to the rest of them.

In the past, Fang Yuan did not have a choice, but after killing Ma Hong Yun, he had a method now.

Fixed luck was the solution.

The core of this killer move was stubborn Immortal Gu, and rule path Immortal Gu 'Main'. But after Fang Yuan's modification, this killer move used precaution Immortal Gu and rule path Immortal Gu 'Big' instead.

Fang Yuan had precaution Immortal Gu long ago, while 'big' Immortal Gu was obtained from Purple Mountain True Monarch.

Purple Mountain True Monarch was a miniman Gu Immortal. After using 'big' Immortal Gu, his body would expand and he would become a human Gu Immortal.

However, Fang Yuan's luck path attainment was not at grandmaster level, the modification of the move only succeeded partially.

This killer move still had some flaws, when activating it, even if Fang Yuan made no mistakes, there was still a chance of failure.

That was the say, this killer move, fixed luck, was not reliable upon activation.

Fang Yuan knew the weakness, but because of his low attainment level, he could not fix it or modify it properly.

In the past, Fang Yuan had been desiring break luck Immortal Gu, but now, even though he did not have break luck Immortal Gu, he had fixed luck, he could defend his own interests.

Fixed luck's effect could not be seen physically, he was unsure of the effect.

But according to the content of all living beings luck, Fang Yuan knew: When two people had a close relationship, their luck would be joined together. If two people were on the same side, their luck would unify, they would rise together or go down together. This was what it meant to enjoy fortune and endure misfortune together.

However, through Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's research, he found that even if luck was unified, there were subtle profound differences.

Even though fortune could be shared, and misfortune could be endured together.

Some people would get more fortune and suffer less misfortune.

Why?

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable realized that the person with greater luck between these two would gain more benefits, the one with weaker luck would suffer more hardship, and even bring great benefits to the other person when they gain benefits themselves.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable named this relationship as the main luck and sub luck, creating their respective luck path Immortal Gu. However, Fang Yuan did not have main luck Immortal Gu and sub luck Immortal Gu now.

Even without them, Fang Yuan could fix his own luck and create differences between his own luck and others, becoming the main luck.

After resting for a while, Fang Yuan put fixed luck behind him as he went back to modifying the killer move, self cleansing.

In terms of formation path, Fang Yuan was much more confident, after all, he was a formation path grandmaster.

With his advantage, his progress in this aspect was rapid.

Thus, turning the entire self cleansing killer move into a Gu formation was only a few steps away from finishing.

Success was around the corner, but Fang Yuan's worry was that he lacked the crucial formation path Immortal Gu.

Lang Ya Sect's formation plate Immortal Gu could be borrowed, but it was only rank six. Meanwhile, the self cleansing immortal formation was at rank seven.

Using rank six formation plate Gu for a rank seven immortal formation, the chances of failure were high.

There was another point, the formation plate Gu recorded the sub-main teleportation Gu formation of Lang Ya Sect, if Fang Yuan wanted to use it to make the self cleansing formation, he would need to erase the content of the sub-main teleportation Gu formation.

Next, he would need to set up the formation using formation plate Gu, after one success, formation plate Gu would have the ability to set up the self cleansing formation itself.

This was a problem.

Fang Yuan had negotiated with Lang Ya land spirit before.

The sub-main teleportation formation was too important to Lang Ya land spirit and Lang Ya Sect, it affected their development.

Lang Ya Sect had no formation path Gu Immortals, the teleportation formations were created relying on this formation plate Immortal Gu.

If Fang Yuan wanted to erase the information in formation plate Immortal Gu and put in new details, it would mean that Lang Ya Sect would lose the ability to set up the sub-main teleportation Gu formation.

This was unacceptable to Lang Ya land spirit.

They did not have information path methods to extract the information recorded in formation plate Gu.

Simply looking at the process of formation plate Gu setting up the immortal Gu formation could not explain all of its profundities, there were many hidden details like instilling immortal essence, or the cooperation of Gu worms.

Fang Yuan had to reassure Lang Ya land spirit that as a formation path grandmaster, he could recreate the sub-main teleportation formation.

Lang Ya land spirit was hesitating now.

-x-X-x-

Fang Yuan was helpless.

He could not force Lang Ya land spirit to do anything.

Right now, he was stuck here, even if he wanted to continue deducing the self cleansing formation, without the crucial Immortal Gu, it would not work.

"And most importantly, I need to borrow Lang Ya Sect's strength to refine Gu."

Fang Yuan obtained Purple Mountain True Monarch's inheritance, he lacked many Immortal Gu, he had a bunch of plans for what Immortal Gu to refine next.

If Lang Ya land spirit thought about it for a long time and still rejected him, what would he do?

Fang Yuan had considered this problem.

He always did things by considering the worst possible outcome first.

"If Lang Ya land spirit refuses to lend formation plate Immortal Gu, I will need to use other people's immortal apertures."

Fang Yuan had a lot of dao marks, it was hard to get into the immortal apertures of the other Shadow Sect Gu Immortals.

Unless they placed their immortal aperture to form a blessed land with deep foundation, then it would be possible.

After Fang Yuan entered another immortal aperture, he could use time path methods to expand the tributary of the River of Time and increase the rate of time inside.

That way, one day in the outside world would be half a month inside the immortal aperture.

This would allow him to obtain a huge amount of precious time to work with.

Next, he would set up the self cleansing immortal Gu formation in the blessed land, and Fang Yuan would enter it to cleanse his detrimental dao marks.

This was the plan that Fang Yuan would use if he had no alternatives left.

Because its flaw was equally big.

After placing the immortal aperture, the position would be fixed, by then, it would be dangerous if Feng Jiu Ge pursued them. Did Feng Jiu Ge have any method to break into an immortal aperture?

It was possible.

Even if Feng Jiu Ge did not, he was backed by Spirit Affinity House and Heavenly Court, they would not let him have this limitation.

There was another important point, once the time path method was used, the tributary of the River of Time would change. And this modification could not be adjusted against for a period of time.

For example, if Fang Yuan made the time in Hei Lou Lan's immortal aperture accelerate, for a few months, he would not be able to change the tributary size again.

Inside Hei Fan's time path true inheritance, be it days pass like years or months pass like years, they had this problem when trying to modify the tributary of the River of Time to affect the rate of time.

Because these killer moves were one time activation moves with lasting effects. If one tries to influence the tributary of the River of Time consecutively over a short period, time path dao marks would be disrupted, the tributary would be in disastrous turmoil.

Fang Yuan already knew the time of arrival for the Gu Immortals' calamities and tribulations, after calculating, he realized that if he used this method, one of them would need to undergo their immortal aperture's tribulation.

This was troublesome.

All along, heaven's will has been trying to find ways of killing Fang Yuan.

Even though Fang Yuan could choose other people's immortal apertures, heaven's will could see everything, and everyone that is linked to Fang Yuan. During the tribulation, heaven's will would definitely use all its power to kill the Gu Immortal undergoing tribulation.

Fang Yuan and the rest could collaborate to deal with the calamities and tribulations.

But Heavenly Court had pursuers.

Looking at the time and their speed, placing the immortal aperture would not be able to get rid of the investigative killer move at once. That way, Fang Yuan would need to endure an immortal aperture's tribulation and face the assault of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals together.

It was too risky!

If Fang Yuan used his sovereign immortal aperture for it, it would be even more dangerous.

Fang Yuan had another concern: "Last time, only Feng Jiu Ge came, I wonder how many Heavenly Court Gu Immortals would show up next time!"

Thus, during this period, Fang Yuan had been moving around, not giving these Heavenly Court Gu Immortals a chance to encircle him.

Western Desert was so huge, while Heavenly Court had to enter another region to fight, with Fang Yuan and the others using Omni-directional Travel, it was very difficult to find and kill him.

When time was up, several figures flew towards him in the sky.

They were Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan and the others.

Usually, when Fang Yuan cultivated or made deductions, they would spread out and guard the surroundings for him.

"Fang Yuan, when will that immortal Gu formation be completed? How long must we continue to run around?" At this moment, Bai Ning Bing flew down, frowning as she asked impatiently.

Fang Yuan did not need to look around, he could feel that the rest of the Gu Immortals had looked towards him because of the questions.

"Wait a bit more." Fang Yuan said plainly.

Bai Ning Bing snorted coldly, her expression was of displeasure.

She was the most impatient person among them, this type of lifestyle was not exciting, she felt extremely bored.

"Aren't you able to create that immortal Gu formation? Set up another one and kill all of the Heavenly Court pursuers again." Bai Ning Bing suggested.

Fang Yuan shook his head: "Do you think the immortal Gu formation is easy to set up? We need a tributary of the River of Time."

The immortal Gu formation used to harm Feng Jiu Ge earlier came from Hei Fan's true inheritance.

Hei Fan created this formation to defend against immemorial year beasts.

Because the use of years flow like water Immortal Gu would attract immemorial year beasts that would enter the Gu Immortal's immortal aperture through the tributary of the River of Time, Hei Fan used this immortal Gu formation on the tributary, so that when an immemorial year beast entered and the Gu Immortal could not deal with it, they could detonate the formation and destroy the tributary of the River of Time, forcing that immemorial year beast back into the river.

Of course, this method was a trump card that could only be used when there were no other options.

With the destruction of the tributary of the River of Time, the immortal aperture's time would freeze, it would be extremely difficult to draw in another tributary, they would need one from the outside world.

"I have the same feelings as you, I do not like being hunted down."

"But I would rather accumulate the hatred in my heart, to wait for a proper time to counterattack and deal a fatal blow to those people."

"Isn't that what you want, the excitement of the future?"

"Hmph." Bai Ning Bing stopped speaking.

"Alright, let's move. This place is not safe anymore." Fang Yuan had just said that when the expressions of Bai Ning Bing and the others changed.

In the sky, a red cloud descended, Dancer Hong Yun was on it.

Her face was pink and rosy, her gaze was on Fang Yuan and gang who were near the sand dune.

"Concubine Cui, who are these people? Why are you with them?" Dancer Hong Yun asked in a reprimanding tone.

Concubine Cui was naturally Fairy Cui Bo.

"Hong Yun?" Ying Wu Xie was surprised, before showing an appropriate joyful expression, asking: "Why are you here?"

The red cloud descended slowly, as Dancer Hong Yun observed this 'Fairy Cui Bo'.

Ying Wu Xie was currently using the body of Fairy Cui Bo, which he had possessed with his soul. There were naturally flaws now, after all, his soul was not completely compatible with the body.

If it were an ordinary Gu Immortal possession, Dancer Hong Yun would be able to see the flaws, but this was Ying Wu Xie she was looking at.

Who was Ying Wu Xie?

He was a split soul of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, his soul foundation was many times that of Fang Yuan.

Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was the creator of soul path, he had countless split souls with many identities, they lurked in the five regions and created a force, without showing any flaws. Ying Wu Xie naturally had ways to conceal his possession method.

As expected, after Dancer Hong Yun used her investigative methods, she did not find anything amiss with 'Fairy Cui Bo'.

Her expression became warmer: "You were in huge trouble, your life tablet Gu and soul lantern Gu were affected, thus, I came to help you. But it seems that you are in good shape, husband and I were worried for nothing."

Next, Dancer Hong Yun asked again: "Who are they? Hmm, they seem familiar."

Dancer Hong Yun's gaze turned to Fang Yuan.

Suddenly, her expression changed, she was shocked: "Liu Guan Yi?"

Dancer Hong Yun was backed by Thousand Transformations Ancestor, her intel was far wider than normal Gu Immortals. After the battle of Reverse Flow River, Liu Guan Yi's appearance was known to the world, as time passed, more and more Gu Immortals knew about him.

And Liu Guan Yi's appearance was the original appearance of Fang Yuan in his sovereign immortal body.

This time, Dancer Hong Yun came very abruptly, Fang Yuan did not manage to change his appearance.

"That is me, how should I address you?" After being exposed, Fang Yuan asked coldly and calmly.

Dancer Hong Yun did not answer yet, she first rode the red cloud and moved back by a distance.

Facing Liu Guan Yi, she had a heavy expression, feeling great pressure in her heart.

This was someone who could fight with rank eight existences!

Some time ago, his name became renowned in the world, gaining the same status as Feng Jiu Ge.

"Thankfully, I have husband's will and his rank eight Immortal Gu, otherwise..." Dancer Hong Yun felt relieved while her eyes darted around as she said: "Concubine Cui, despite husband's and my concern, you mixed with Gu Immortals from other regions and worse, you did not even send us a letter."

Dancer Hong Yun had her own objective, she was saying this to sow discord between Thousand Transformations Ancestor and Fairy Cui Bo.

Thousand Transformations Ancestor doted on Fairy Cui Bo normally, Dancer Hong Yun was very jealous, she would not give up this chance to attack Fairy Cui Bo.

Her words were addressed to Ying Wu Xie, but it was meant for Thousand Transformations' will.

Fang Yuan's gaze became solemn, while Bai Ning Bing and Hei Lou Lan subtly looked at each other.

Dancer Hong Yun's words were simply disregarding Liu Guan Yi, she had this level of confidence, she was definitely relying on more than just her battle strength.

Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan understood this, but Ying Wu Xie, Fairy Miao Yin, and Lady White Rabbit did not realize this.

"Alright, tell us your encounter, Concubine Cui, I am very curious." At this time, Thousand Transformations' will emerged from Dancer Hong Yun's body.

"There was a trump card indeed." Ying Wu Xie thought.

"This is the crucial moment, let's see how Ying Wu Xie gets through this!" Bright light shined in Fang Yuan's eyes.

Bai Ning Bing and the rest were slightly worried.

Ying Wu Xie had grown quickly, but he was still young, his acting was inferior to Fang Yuan, it would be quite hard for Thousand Transformations' will to not sense a flaw in his acting!

Could he do it?

-x-X-x-

"This was basically what happened..." As mild wind blew across the sand dune, 'Fairy Cui Bo' explained her side of the story.

According to her, she was trying to find Western Desert Zombie Alliance's inheritance, but she met with Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals.

The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals seemed to be familiar with her, knowing that she was Thousand Transformations Ancestor's concubine.

Even though Fairy Cui Bo used his name as deterrence, their animosity grew deeper.

In the process of fighting, Fairy Cui Bo was hit by the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals' killer moves, most of her Gu worms were destroyed.

Fortunately, she met with Liu Guan Yi and the others.

It turned out that Heavenly Court was chasing after Liu Guan Yi.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend, Liu Guan Yi thus saved Fairy Cui Bo and fought to escape from Heavenly Court's pursuit.

But because they were hit by Heavenly Court's investigative killer move, during this period, they had been escaping. They could not split up as the enemy would just attack them separately.

All in all, Ying Wu Xie described it with great detail, and some of his words almost could make others feel they personally experienced the situation.

The truth was, ever since Fang Yuan and the rest captured Fairy Cui Bo, they had excavated most of the information about Thousand Transformations Ancestor from her soul, Fang Yuan and the others came up with many plans to deal with all the possible situations.

Ying Wu Xie's description was a mix of truths and lies, Fang Yuan and the others turned from enemies to benefactors, while Feng Jiu Ge also appeared, his description was very realistic and did not have much tampering in it.

The story was flawless, because Fang Yuan and the others had thought about it intensely.

The only problem was, Fairy Cui Bo had lost all of her Immortal Gu and a large portion of her mortal Gu in battle.

This was too coincidental.

But there was no choice.

If Thousand Transformations' will wanted Ying Wu Xie to show his Immortal Gu, that would be a disaster.

After all, the Gu worms that Fairy Cui Bo had were filled with her will, Ying Wu Xie could not use them.

The truth was, when Fairy Cui Bo got captured by Bai Ning Bing, she had already detonated all of her Gu worms.

Leaving no resources to the enemy!

Thus, Fang Yuan and the rest had to say this to make up for the huge flaw.

Dancer Hong Yun had a shocked expression on her face.

She looked at 'Fairy Cui Bo', not expecting her to have met with such incredible danger.

And the truth was, Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan and the others were very surprised.

Because Ying Wu Xie's acting was excellent, he showed no flaws, it was natural and believable.

"When did Ying Wu Xie acquire such a skill?" Hei Lou Lan was slightly surprised.

Only Fang Yuan was not surprised at Ying Wu Xie's performance.

Because he had already lent attitude Gu to Ying Wu Xie. With this rank eight Immortal Gu, Ying Wu Xie's acting was naturally flawless.

Especially when he was up against a rank seven Gu Immortal and the will of a rank eight.

If Thousand Transformations Ancestor was here personally, it might be a problem, but Ying Wu Xie could completely handle these two right now.

Success!

Be it Dancer Hong Yun or Thousand Transformations' will, they did not doubt Ying Wu Xie's words.

Fang Yuan saw this and said: "Lord Thousand Transformations and Fairy Hong Yun, Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals came after us, but Fairy Cui Bo was saved by us, that is the truth, right?"

He spoke plainly with no expression, he showed the arrogance of an expert, even against a rank eight existence, he displayed no fear.

Fang Yuan did not have attitude Gu, but his acting was profound and skillful, he could easily do it.

He was the cause of Fairy Cui Bo's death, but he ended up acting like her benefactor.

This was shameless, but Fang Yuan acted like it was the truth.

Thousand Transformations' will went silent.

Even though Fang Yuan had rank seven cultivation level, the fame of Liu Guan Yi allowed him to speak on equal terms with Thousand Transformations' will.

If Thousand Transformations Ancestor was here personally, Fang Yuan might not have such a status.

But Thousand Transformations' will and Thousand Transformations Ancestor were two different things.

After thinking about it, Thousand Transformations' will broke the silence: "How do you want to be rewarded?"

Fang Yuan's lips curled up, he smiled.

His smile was bright like the sun, he was truly handsome, even Dancer Hong Yun was dazed as she looked at him.

"I do not need a reward, but I have a suggestion." Fang Yuan said.

"What is it?"

"Alliance." Fang Yuan said.

"Alliance?" Thousand Transformations' will went silent again.

Fang Yuan urged: "Thousand Transformations Ancestor, you obtained Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's true inheritance, you are an eyesore to Heavenly Court. Their attitude towards you is clear from their attack on Fairy Cui Bo."

"Because of Reverse Flow River, I was chased by Heavenly Court until I got here. We have a common enemy, that is Heavenly Court."

"Helping each other is helping ourselves, isn't that true?"

"I have a good time path method in my possession, I can slow down the rate of time in Lord Thousand Transformations' immortal aperture, to delay your tribulations."

"Furthermore, I have a luck path true inheritance. Ma Hong Yun died in my hands, I have his portion of all living beings luck. This is Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's true inheritance."

"Husband?" Dancer Hong Yun was greatly moved by Fang Yuan's glib tongue.

"Lord husband, I think that we can make an alliance." Ying Wu Xie said, trying to convince Thousand Transformations' will as well.

Eventually, Thousand Transformations' will spoke, but this was what he said.

"We can have an alliance."

"But our cooperation must be gradual."

"Liu Guan Yi, you want to make use of me to deal with the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, why would I not know your plan?"

"We can cooperate mildly first, before we deepen it slowly. If our cooperation goes well, I can go and block the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals for you. If our cooperation is less than satisfactory, I will need to see your sincerity before we continue working together."

Thousand Transformations Ancestor was a rank eight Gu Immortal, he was not easy to deceive.

He was an old schemer, not only did he expose Fang Yuan's plan, he even used the pressure of Heavenly Court to force Fang Yuan to relinquish some benefits.

"Sincerity?" Fang Yuan smiled: "Sincerity goes both ways, we saved Fairy Cui Bo, that is our biggest sincerity. What is yours?"

Fang Yuan avoided the topic of Heavenly Court, and retaliated against Thousand Transformations' will.

Thousand Transformations' will thought for a while, "We can cooperate first, like making transactions, what do you need, I will try to satisfy you."

-x-X-x-

"Transactions?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He instantly understood the intention of Thousand Transformations' will.

Thousand Transformations Ancestor obtained Reckless Savage's true inheritance, after so many years of development, he definitely had the foundation to transact with Fang Yuan, even though he had great losses in his recent tribulation.

But because of the tribulation, Thousand Transformations Ancestor did not want to fight. If he agreed to ally with Fang Yuan, he would need to face Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals.

Thousand Transformations Ancestor was not stupid, how could he become the shield of Fang Yuan and the others now?

But...

Fang Yuan's suggestion was extremely tempting.

Be it the time slowing methods in Hei Fan's true inheritance, or his luck path true inheritance, they were rare ways to alleviate his problem of impending tribulations.

Thousand Transformations Ancestor had just suffered a terrible loss from his tribulation, he had a huge need for such methods.

Thinking about it, Thousand Transformations' will felt that working with Liu Guan Yi was beneficial. But this benefit would become a huge problem in the future when Liu Guan Yi faces Heavenly Court, and Thousand Transformations Ancestor did not want to be a part of that problem.

He was heavily injured now, if he engages in fierce fight, he would expose his currently weakened state.

Thus, Thousand Transformations Ancestor wanted to transact with Fang Yuan, it was another form of cooperation.

This way, he would fund Fang Yuan and the others, not only will he repay the favor of saving Fairy Cui Bo, he would even improve his relationship with Fang Yuan.

There were clear benefits in this.

Firstly, his concubine was saved by him, he had to reward him for it. Otherwise, who would help to save Thousand Transformations Ancestor's friends or family in the future?

Secondly, after improving his relationship with Fang Yuan, in the future, if he needs help, he can use this incident as a reason.

Rank eight Gu Immortals were all old schemers, even if this was just Thousand Transformations' will, he had great wisdom and calculated his own gains and losses clearly.

Fang Yuan was silent for a while before nodding: "Okay, I need formation path Immortal Gu now, do you have any?"

Actually, Fang Yuan bore little hope in this.

But Dancer Hong Yun was stunned.

Thousand Transformations' will smiled: "This is very coincidental, I do not cultivate formation path so I did not have any. But on the way here, we obtained a Gu Immortal true inheritance, it was left by a formation path expert."

"Oh?"

"Hong Yun, take out your gains and let Liu Guan Yi choose." Thousand Transformations' will informed.

He was clear about Zhen Yuan Zi's formation path true inheritance. The formation path Immortal Gu was useless to the main body, it was perfect for this purpose.

Dancer Hong Yun would not defy Thousand Transformations' will.

Even though she was upset, she did not hesitate, she took out that incomplete immortal formation from her immortal aperture and placed it on the sand dune.

Fang Yuan and the others were shocked.

This immortal formation could actually be moved.

This was very rare.

Because this was the framework of an Immortal Gu House!

Immortal Gu Houses were the essence of formation path, they were immortal killer moves and also mobile immortal Gu formations.

Fang Yuan's heart jumped, seeing this, he felt like something good was about to happen.

Indeed, from Dancer Hong Yun's description, Fang Yuan learned that this incomplete immortal formation actually contained formation flag Immortal Gu!

Rank seven Immortal Gu Formation Flag, this was one of the Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan needed!

"Amazing!"

"With this Gu, I will not need to negotiate with Lang Ya land spirit, or borrow formation plate Immortal Gu."

"It will be very convenient to set up the self cleansing immortal Gu formation, in time, all of the investigative killer move dao marks will be cleansed."

At this moment, Fang Yuan saw hope in the future.

But he was still very calm on the surface, he only exposed a bit of joy.

He looked at Thousand Transformations' will as he said: "This incomplete immortal Gu formation is not bad. To speak the truth, I need such a Gu formation to defend against the pursuit of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals, and gain a safe location to rest. I am willing to pay a huge amount of immortal materials in exchange for this incomplete immortal formation."

"What?" Dancer Hong Yun's expression changed: "Liu Guan Yi is so greedy, he wants the entire immortal Gu formation?"

Next, Fang Yuan thought about it and gave a list of immortal materials to Thousand Transformations Ancestor.

"Lord Thousand Transformations, there are only a few immortal materials in my list, but that cannot be helped, this is all I can give, and I really need this immortal formation!"

"If this transaction goes through, I will remember this forever. In the future, if you have any needs, I will do my best to help."

Fang Yuan spoke earnestly.

Dancer Hong Yun also took a look at this list, she was so furious, on the edge of exploding, she looked towards Fang Yuan with deep animosity.

She was very unhappy: "This Liu Guan Yi is too shameless! He actually said such things."

But Thousand Transformations' will agreed after some consideration: "Alright, I will accept the immortal materials, you can have the incomplete Gu formation. We have no debt to each other, your saved Fairy Cui Bo, and I did this transaction with you, this is our connection."

After some pause, Thousand Transformations' will continued: "Liu Guan Yi, even though you are a junior, I have heard of your name long ago. You will definitely be extraordinary, there is no harm in befriending you. This is my information path Gu worm, if you want to make any deals in the future, contact me directly. Goodbye."

"Lord Thousand Transformations is truly magnanimous, I am in awe! This is my information path Gu worm, I hope you will keep it." Fang Yuan changed his tone, not only was his expression sincere looking, he even gave his information path Gu worm.

"Concubine Cui, let's go." Thousand Transformations' will said.

Ying Wu Xie looked at Fang Yuan deeply as he smiled at the rest: "Thank you for the concern these last few days."

"See you again."

They departed.

Fairy Cui Bo sat on the dancing red cloud and soon flew into the sky.

When Dancer Hong Yun and the rest left Fang Yuan's vision, he retracted his gaze with deep battle intent in his eyes.

"Ying Wu Xie has already sent back the information, they are returning through the same path, their destination is myriad statue desert. Come, let's execute our plan." Fang Yuan said.

Lady White Rabbit went into Fang Yuan's immortal aperture as Hei Lou Lan, Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing, and Fairy Miao Yin remained behind.

Ancient battle formation — Omni-directional Travel!

With a sharp light, at the next moment, Fang Yuan and the rest appeared in green ghost desert.

Fang Yuan started to set up his formation while Fairy Miao Yin and Lady White Rabbit helped him out.

Hei Lou Lan was patrolling the area, preventing wild soul beasts from causing trouble.

Bai Ning Bing flew into the sky, in the blink of an eye, she went out of Fang Yuan's vision, she was going after Dancer Hong Yun.

Dancer Hong Yun returned on the same route, but Fang Yuan and the others had used Omni-directional Travel, they were already ahead of her.

An immortal formation from Purple Mountain True Monarch's inheritance was rapidly set up.

Fang Yuan moved proficiently while Fairy Miao Yin and Lady White Rabbit cooperated with him with great chemistry.

This immortal formation had been used multiple times already.

Ying Wu Xie could not be discarded.

Not only because of his strong battle strength due to the killer move, lead soul into dream, but also because of Sixth Hair.

If Ying Wu Xie died, Sixth Hair would not work with Fang Yuan this closely. He might even think that Fang Yuan tried to get Ying Wu Xie killed, and would disregard his own safety to try and get Fang Yuan killed at all costs.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan needed Sixth Hair to refine Gu for him.

And there was another thing, the mental state of his allies.

If Fang Yuan gave up on Ying Wu Xie now, he would also give up on Lady White Rabbit and Fairy Miao Yin in the future. Even if they showed no response to it externally, they would definitely be full of doubts and suspicion in their hearts.

Fairy Miao Yin and Lady White Rabbit were not like Hei Lou Lan. Fang Yuan did not have strong control over them.

Using Omni-directional Travel to ambush Thousand Transformations' will and Dancer Hong Yun, luring them into the immortal formation to kill them, that was the plan.

Of course, this plan was based around Ying Wu Xie getting the trust of Thousand Transformations Ancestor first.

Other than this plan, Fang Yuan had many other plans to deal with other situations.

The more prepared he was, the greater the chances of winning.

Be it Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan, or Ying Wu Xie, they were not going to fight unprepared.

However, when Fang Yuan finished sixty percent of this immortal formation, Bai Ning Bing transmitted: "No need to set up, Ying Wu Xie has already succeeded!"

Fang Yuan and the rest stopped setting up the formation as they got to Bai Ning Bing's side.

Over there, in the sky, there was a huge dream realm floating in the air.

"Hahaha, Ying Wu Xie did very well this time!" Bai Ning Bing laughed: "He took down Thousand Transformations' will and that rank seven Gu Immortal, Dancer Hong Yun, without fighting, incredible, exciting!"

Fang Yuan also smiled lightly.

This was a scheme.

They had planned it long ago.

Be it Thousand Transformations Ancestor or anyone else, as long as they gained their trust, this plan would work.

The method used was not lead soul into dream.

This killer move could not conceal its aura, once activated, it would be found out immediately.

Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies were the best tools for a sneak attack.

Back then, Fang Yuan used the immortal bodies to force the Immortal Gu House of Southern Border's Yi clan to escape.

One skill to dominate the world!

Even rank nine Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower did not dare to enter the dream realms.

When everyone's research of dream path was still at the initial stage, using dream path methods against enemies was unstoppable.

Because being at the forefront of this era had huge advantages.

Even Thousand Transformations Ancestor's main body would have no answer to it, not to mention his mere will.

Going back to two hours ago.

On the dancing red cloud, 'Fairy Cui Bo' suddenly started laughing.

"It seems that Concubine Cui got some benefits, otherwise, you would not laugh like this." Thousand Transformations' will said.

"Husband understands me best. Even though I lost my Immortal Gu, my gains were huge. Husband, Hong Yun, look at this." Ying Wu Xie took out a Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body.

"This is... dream path?" Thousand Transformations' will was shocked: "Concubine Cui, where did you get this?"

"Heavenly Court is mainly pursuing Liu Guan Yi for this immortal body, it seems. I obtained this by chance, Liu Guan Yi and the others have no idea." Ying Wu Xie said coquettishly: "Lord husband, I made such a huge contribution, how will you reward me?"

Dancer Hong Yun scolded: "Shameless slut!"

Thousand Transformations' will laughed loudly: "I really need to reward you well."

Boom!

The Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body exploded at once.

All of them were engulfed by the newly created dream realm, none flew out or escaped.
