"According to The Legends of Ren Zuu, hatred Gu and lightning Gu can cooperate and amplify each other's power to form a terrifying killer move that directly destroyed immemorial blue heaven?"
Fang Yuan read it carefully again as he wondered, did this mean that these two Gu worms could counter heaven path?
Where were heaven path dao marks most gathered in?
Undoubtedly, the immemorial nine heavens.
Besides them, there was Fang Yuan's body.
"This seems to be an avenue to resolve my current predicament." Fang Yuan pondered: "But only lightning Gu is here, it won't work without hatred Gu. Where is this Gu worm? Is there currently such an Immortal Gu in existence? If not, how do I refine it? If it exists, the situation is even more troublesome as I will need to scheme and plan to seize it."
"In fact, even if I have these two core Immortal Gu, it is still a mystery on how to form them into that killer move. u003cu003cThe Legends of Ren Zuu003eu003e is too vague about it."
Just at this time, Qin Ding Ling personally sent a letter through treasure yellow heaven.
Fang Yuan opened and read it, the letter Gu directly talked about Forest Lightning grotto-heaven's matter. Qin Ding Ling was very eager about lightning Gu, and even wanted Qi Sea Ancestor to stop researching the qi harvest fruits for the time being and lead his subordinates to cooperate with Heavenly Court in fighting for lightning Gu.
"Why is Heavenly Court so anxious?" Fang Yuan's eyes shined with bright light: "Also, they obtained the information too quickly. Looks like they have arranged some spies on Wu Shuai's side."
Qin Ding Ling was not Fairy Zi Wei after all, she was slightly hurried in doing things, which allowed Fang Yuan, who had deep wisdom path attainment to deduce some possibilities.
"Since that is the case…" Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, Heavenly Court's urgent letter made him come to a decision.
Forest Lightning grotto-heaven.
Xiao He Jian's expression changed slightly, he had received Wu Shuai's command.
His gaze turned cold as he shouted: "Alliance Leader sent the command to kill Forest Lightning Grotto Lord without worrying about lightning Gu. It is nothing to lose a mere rank eight Immortal Gu. We must execute all the Gu Immortals of Forest Lightning grotto-heaven and then attempt to get rid of the qi harvest fruit. Don't worry about the grotto-heaven's resources, use all your strength to complete the task in the shortest time possible!"
"What?!" Hearing these words, not only Forest Lightning Grotto Lord, even Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord were astonished.
This was a future rank nine Immortal Gu, Wu Shuai gave up on it so resolutely?
For an instant, none of the three immortals made a move due to the shock.
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord was Heavenly Court's mole, he naturally thought of helping to preserve Forest Lightning Grotto Lord to harm Wu Shuai's alliance.
And Lady Cold Ash was basically Spectral Soul, he also thought of preserving this point of conflict that would incite a fierce battle between Wu Shuai and Qi Sea Ancestor. As long as there was chaos, he could gain many chances to act.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord suddenly shouted: "Xiao He Jian, such audacity, you actually gave a false command. Wu Shuai is expanding his strength, how can he give up on the future rank nine Immortal Gu? As someone who joined recently, you truly have ill intentions!"
Xiao He Jian's expression turned cold from Forest Lightning Grotto Lord's incrimination.
He did not retort, instead glaring at Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord: "This is our alliance leader's command! Are you going to believe a traitor or me? Attack!"
Saying so, Xiao He Jian did not wait for the two and charged in by himself.
Bam bam bam…
Killer moves were let out, destroying a large portion of the lightning forest.
"Charge!" The alliance immortals who were above ground also received Xiao He Jian's order and came over, besieging this lightning forest.
Since the situation became like this, Lady Cold Ash and Night Heavenly Wolf Lord could not care about their own schemes, they sighed and joined the group in attacking.
"Wu Shuai, you are really cruel! You are so narrow-minded, you will definitely die miserably!" Forest Lightning Grotto Lord knew he was going to die and let out a vicious curse while exerting strength to destroy lightning Gu.
"In your dreams." At the next moment, Lady Cold Ash suddenly appeared behind him.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord stiffened, Lady Cold Ash took the chance and actually seized lightning Gu from his hands!
"What method is this?" The immortals were astonished.
Although Spectral Soul's attainment levels had fallen to a miserable level, he still had plenty of methods. The accumulation of a venerable could not be estimated by ordinary rank eight Gu Immortals.
"Great job!" Xiao He Jian was exulted. He had held no hope in taking lightning Gu, but who could have thought it would truly be seized. This was Lady Cold Ash's merit and his as well. By now, his vice alliance leader position was already half confirmed. The remaining half would be by completing the task given by Wu Shuai!
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord counterattacked madly.
To preserve lightning Gu, Lady Cold Ash had forcibly endured his attacks and got injured.
"Retreat and guard lightning Gu!" Xiao He Jian quickly came to help, he blocked Forest Lightning Grotto Lord for Lady Cold Ash.
To prevent interference, other immortals began to plunder resources while watching Xiao He Jian fight Forest Lightning Grotto Lord alone.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord had already fought with Lady Cold Ash before, his condition was not optimal and almost all of his methods were exposed.
Based on the superficial strength shown, Xiao He Jian was stronger than Lady Cold Ash as well.
This battle held no suspense, and soon, Xiao He Jian defeated Forest Lightning Grotto Lord.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was not resigned to being defeated and was still thinking of escaping.
But the surrounding Gu Immortals had been observing the battle and encircled Forest Lightning Grotto Lord with no way for him to flee.
Forest Lightning Grotto Lord was beheaded and Forest Lightning grotto-heaven was destroyed. The alliance's experiment on the qi harvest fruit failed this time as well.
Moreover, because Wu Shuai asked for the battle to be finished as quickly as possible, most of the resources in Forest Lightning grotto-heaven were destroyed. The participating Gu Immortals could only collect very few resources.
The greatest gain was that wild rank eight lightning Gu. But it was clear this was going to be handed to Alliance Leader Wu Shuai.
Fang Yuan thought for a good while before finally deciding to deal with the problem directly, getting rid of Forest Lightning grotto-heaven so that the conflict could not grow.
Wu Shuai's fast decision not only astonished the alliance members, it even destroyed Heavenly Court's plan.
Qin Ding Ling had obtained first hand information from Night Heavenly Wolf Lord and immediately contacted Qi Sea Ancestor.
Fang Yuan received the letter; in the letter, Qin Ding Ling was still insisting on seizing lightning Gu even though it had already fallen into Wu Shuai's hands. Even if they could not seize lightning Gu, they had to destroy it!
"Looks like Heavenly Court is determined to get lightning Gu. Heavenly Court should have lightning Gu's Immortal Gu recipe, they can refine it themselves if this Gu is destroyed."
Fang Yuan was even more curious, why was Heavenly Court so anxious to get lightning Gu? Why did such the powerful Heavenly Court have such pressing needs for this Immortal Gu? Lightning Gu was not fate Gu after all!
Fang Yuan did not understand Heavenly Court's scheme, but Qin Ding Ling's attitude made Fang Yuan's previous plan fall through.
Fang Yuan made Wu Shuai destroy Forest Lightning grotto-heaven without any regards for the safety of lightning Gu to strangle the possible conflict to death and prevent a war between the two sides.
But Heavenly Court held an attitude akin to asking for battle, Fang Yuan also could not refuse it easily.
After all, Qi Sea Ancestor was allied with Heavenly Court.
How should he deal with this?
-x-X-x-
Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
Capital city, Su clan.
There was a book house erected inside a certain guest room's courtyard.
This book house was a mortal Gu House, it had the form of a tree house, covered with green leaves and branches.
Right now, Li Xiao Bai was sitting cross-legged inside the book house.
A beautiful girl was standing in front of him, she was Su Qi Han. Su Qi Han's expression was somewhat serious: "Xiao Bai, have you really thought it through? A vital Gu cannot be changed easily."
Li Xiao Bai nodded with a smile: "Qi Han, don't be too worried. I have thought it through properly, I am most interested in composing poems. So to me, poetry Gu is the most suitable vital Gu. It was just that I was not qualified to change my vital Gu before. But since this book house has extraordinary might and has the function of assisting me in changing vital Gu, how can I let go of such a chance?"
Su Qi Han sighed: "Since you have decided, I won't urge you anymore. I will guard you from outside."
"Mm." Li Xiao Bai did not stand on ceremony, directly closing his eyes.
After he obtained this Book House inheritance, he returned to the capital city and reunited with Su Qi Han. Although he lost in the poetry competition, he had already proven himself. Su Qi Han invited him to stay temporarily in Su clan, no one opposed to it, instead, this became a beautiful story.
Li Xiao Bai was not stingy, after staying in Su clan, he shared this Book House inheritance with Su Qi Han. The two spent almost every day in the book house, continuously cultivating, researching, and communicating intimately with each other.
Although the two had undergone intimate activities because of a coincidence, they did not have close feelings for each other. Su Qi Han's previous actions came from her own high moral character.
But over these days of contact, Su Qi Han increasingly appreciated Li Xiao Bai's talents and started to feel an attraction to him.
Li Xiao Bai obtained this fortuitous encounter but did not conceal it from Su Qi Han and shared it with her. From this, Su Qi Han saw that Li Xiao Bai's character was pure and kind, willing to give her anything, he was definitely not a heartless scholar.
Although the two had not been officially engaged, Su Qi Han had already treated Li Xiao Bai as her sole lifelong partner.
Su Qi Han walked out of the book house with worry: "This book house has high value and contains many branches of information path like verses, ditties, odes and songs. However, these branches are limited to Gu Master cultivation and there are no ways to advance to Gu Immortal. I have already hinted Xiao Bai many times that as long as he marries into and lives in my Su clan, he can obtain Su clan's Calligraphy Immortal cultivation technique. Unfortunately, he has no interest in calligraphy and is wholeheartedly focused on poems. Oh, since he likes it, I have no way to persuade him otherwise. If he accomplishes nothing in the future and stays as a Gu Master, I will work hard to become a Gu Immortal and an official of the Imperial Court. I will protect and take care of him for the rest of my life. I will watch him compose and recite poems, as long as he is happy, I am also happy."
Profound Literature grotto-heaven had an Imperial Court.
The high ranking officials of the Imperial Court were all Gu Immortals. Su Qi Han was Su clan's most beloved daughter and the apple of their eye, her aptitude and talents were astonishing as well, so it was natural for her to come in contact with Su clan's immortal cultivation technique.
"Young miss, you should take a rest, you will be tired if you keep on standing. With us here, Great Scholar Li's safety is guaranteed." The guards and the maids urged Su Qi Han.
Su Qi Han shook her head: "Stand guard outside the courtyard. I will personally guard him here."
The book house started shaking, gentle light spread from the inside to the outside through the windows.
A few minutes later, the book house turned silent, the leaves and the branches were no longer shaking.
Inside the book house, Li Xiao Bai opened his eyes slowly.
The process of changing vital Gu went smoothly, Li Xiao Bai looked inside his aperture and saw a Gu worm that looked like a heart; it had a red jade-like texture and was covered by a layer of light gold radiance.
It was his new vital Gu, rank five Gu worm — Poetry.
Poetry Gu was classified in information path and belonged to a side-branch of information path cultivation. The most common form of information path cultivation were oaths and vows, like sea oath Gu, mountain pledge Gu, promise Gu, black and white paper Gu. Second was transmitting information like goose Gu, paper crane Gu, butterfly letter Gu, flying sword letter Gu, messenger dove Gu, and so on. Thirdly was watching, listening, reading, and writing, for example, water text Gu belonged to the writing category. Beast language Gu was related to reading and speaking.
Verses, ditties, odes, songs, and so on were simply not mainstream.
Li Xiao Bai had made such a decision, it was no wonder Su Qi Han was worried about his future prospects.
But she did not know Li Xiao Bai's true intention.
"This grotto-heaven's environment is special as it is under the effect of the killer move, assisting literary talents. As long as I create great poems, I can obtain rewards and advance quickly. The five regions chaotic war is drawing close, such a way that can quickly increase one's strength with no side-effect is priceless. Although Su Qi Han can get in contact with Gu Immortal cultivation methods, she does not know the outside world's situation."
"I have changed my vital gu to poetry Gu, next, I will practice poetic Gu and emotion poetry Gu, use gather poem Gu to gather poems externally and advance poem wall Gu. Additionally, I should also practice poem boundary Gu, this is an extremely outstanding Gu worm which effect is similar to a battlefield killer move."
Just as Li Xiao Bai was thinking, the door was opened slowly and Su Qi Han entered with a concerned look.
"Xiao Bai." Su Qi Han spoke softly.
Li Xiao Bai gave a light smile and nodded towards her: "Everything went smoothly."
Su Qi Han smiled, her beautiful watery eyes revealed delicate concern: "That's good."
Boom—!
Suddenly, the sky shook and an explosion resounded throughout the grotto heaven.
"What's going on?" Li Xiao Bai and Su Qi Han were alarmed and rushed out of the room, they looked at the sky but it was clear and blue. A gust of wind blew past them.
The wind only lasted for a very short period of time, and after it passed by, there was no other abnormality.
The mortals, Gu Masters, and even Gu Immortals living in the capital city sensed this suddenly appearing and disappearing abnormality. Most of the people were baffled, but a few Gu Immortal officials who knew the inside details were joyous.
"Success!" In a certain area of Profound Literature grotto-heaven, Old Immortal Hua Yu bowed deeply towards Qi Sea Ancestor in excitement: "Congratulations to Ancestor for successfully handling the qi harvest fruit calamity. Ancestor has saved the whole of Profound Literature grotto-heaven, this favor is the same as giving us new life! From now on, if you have any orders for me, I will undoubtedly use all my strength without question!"
Qi Sea Ancestor laughed heartily, lifting Old Immortal Hua Yu up: "No need to be so courteous."
The immortals standing at the side were extremely happy.
"Ancestor has divine might!"
"Wu Shuai's side tested repeatedly and destroyed so many grotto-heavens. Ancestor tried for the first time and succeeded, Wu Shuai can never match you."
"I wonder when Ancestor can resolve our qi harvest fruit problem?"
"Yes, our grotto-heavens' qi harvest fruits have already become extremely large and are getting closer to self-detonation."
Gu Immortals praised loudly while also urging Fang Yuan to continue his work.
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "This test was a success but I sensed some flaws in it. I need to be in closed cultivation for three days to solve this issue. At that time, I will clear up the danger for everyone, wouldn't that be even better?"
The immortals were exulted: "We shall listen to Ancestor's arrangements!"
Fang Yuan smiled, a sharp light flashing across his eyes.
Heavenly Court.
Soon, Qin Ding Ling received this news and immediately showed joy: "Good, good! My choice to cooperate with Qi Sea Ancestor was indeed correct."
Qi Sea Ancestor did not let down their expectations, not only creating a method to resolve the qi harvest fruit problem, but even succeeding after using it once. According to the information, Profound Literature grotto-heaven's qi harvest fruit was not only safely removed, the fruit also burst and formed a harmless qi tide that swept past the whole grotto-heaven and raised the grotto-heaven's foundation by a good amount.
Qin Ding Ling was in a great mood.
Over this period of time, Heavenly Court had already walked out of the shadow of defeat in the fate war. With Qin Ding Ling and the other Heavenly Court immortals' schemes and efforts, good news came one after another.
Firstly, the variant human forces were restrained, secondly, Qing Chou was captured, and now, the qi harvest fruit's danger was eliminated.
"But now, should we get rid of the qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court first or try to fight for lightning Gu?"
Qin Ding Ling could not come to a decision by herself and gathered the Heavenly Court immortals for a meeting.
"Qi Sea Ancestor is worthy of being a qi path great expert, with this method, his force will be stable and in an impregnable position."
"Wu Shuai's alliance is still experimenting with various methods, their qi path attainment is too shallow."
"As long as Qi Sea Ancestor defers for some time, there might not even be a need to start a fight and Wu Shuai's alliance will break apart by itself."
Qin Ding Ling shook her head at this optimistic plan: "Wu Shuai is a formidable person. Even a rabbit will bite if it is forced to a corner, let alone this dragonman. Once he obtains this news, he might immediately lead his troops to fight Qi Sea Ancestor."
"That's right. Qi Sea Ancestor can safely remove the qi harvest fruits, but Wu Shuai cannot. The longer their fight is delayed, the more unfavorable it is to Wu Shuai. It is very likely for Wu Shuai to send his troops."
"In that case, we have to move ahead of time and ask Qi Sea Ancestor to resolve the qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court."
"You are right. Once the battle starts, Qi Sea Ancestor will not be able to deal with too many matters, he will definitely have to bear the full force attack from Wu Shuai. The situation is already like a conflict between fire and water, the fight won't be stopped easily once it starts, and it might really be a life and death battle."
Qin Ding Ling looked at Nine Spiritual Fairy: "How is the refinement of hatred Gu going?"
Nine Spiritual Fairy shook her head: "There has been a breakthrough just recently. Hatred Gu's condition is extremely strange, it has already merged into Qing Chou. We found a method to refine hatred Gu just recently. It will take quite long to refine hatred Gu. But the good news is that if we succeed, we can manipulate Qing Chou as well."
Qin Ding Ling nodded: "Since hatred Gu has yet to be obtained completely, there is no need to hurry in seizing lightning Gu. We will conceal this news as much as possible and invite Qi Sea Ancestor to come to Heavenly Court secretly and deal with the qi harvest fruit. After finishing this matter, we will then fight with Wu Shuai."
The immortals did not have any objections.
"But how should we reward Qi Sea Ancestor?" A Gu Immortal asked.
"This is not difficult. Qi Sea Ancestor is very interested in the qi path Immortal Gu in my Heavenly Court's treasury. In the previous letters, he had repeatedly asked to borrow these qi path Immortal Gu, but I did not agree and kept on making excuses." Qin Ding Ling smiled.
Another Gu Immortal added: "We also need to be on guard against another person, Demon Immortal Qi Jue!"
Qin Ding Ling nodded: "I have also considered it. This demon is also a qi path great expert, if he collaborates with Wu Shuai, it will balance the situation of both sides again, he is a huge threat."
"It is difficult to track Demon Immortal Qi Jue, who knows where he has gone now. He has just revived and is not familiar with the various paths of the present age. He is currently purchasing qi path immortal materials in treasure yellow heaven and exchanging for inheritances of every path, he is taking even Gu Master inheritances. Wu Shuai has chips to transact with him!"
Qin Ding Ling stressed once again: "So the current plan is to immediately invite Qi Sea Ancestor to Heavenly Court while hiding the information and striving for every second we can get!"
-x-X-x-
Within Dragon Palace, the atmosphere was heavy.
"The situation has become like this, what do you all think about it?" Wu Shuai was the only person seated, he had already gathered the alliance's immortals and explained to them the actions that Qi Sea Ancestor took inside Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
Heavenly Court tried all ways to conceal the information but at the same time, Wu Shuai informed all of the Gu Immortals within the two heavens alliance.
After hearing this nightmarish news, the response was huge as all of the immortals' expressions changed.
"Is this for real?" Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch asked immediately before reacting to what he had said, his face turned pale: "I am not questioning Lord Alliance Leader, but this is truly too sudden and surprising."
Wu Shuai snorted coldly: "Do I need to lie to you?"
"This is not good!" Xiao He Jian's expression was solemn: "Qi Sea Ancestor is a qi path great expert, since Demon Immortal Qi Jue was able to use a qi harvest fruit to revive, then there is also a high chance that Qi Sea Ancestor can get rid of the threatening qi harvest fruits. If the enemy has a method to get rid of the qi harvest fruits, they will have a complete upper hand in this situation."
"Indeed, indeed."
"What do we do now?"
"My tribe's grotto-heaven's qi harvest fruit has already grown to a huge size, if we do not get rid of it, it will explode soon."
"But our experiments have not succeeded once, we already ruined many grotto-heavens."
"It is impossible for us to come to a peaceful truce with Qi Sea Ancestor, we should be wary of them using this chance to attack us!"
The immortals discussed as their tone contained fear and panic.
Spectral Soul who was acting as Lady Cold Ash stood among them, cheering secretly. He wanted the war to start as soon as possible, if there was chaos, he would gain a great opportunity to take action.
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord showed the same attitude as the rest but he was happy on the inside. He had already joined Heavenly Court, this situation was very advantageous to him.
"Panicking to this degree, what a disgrace!" Gu tribe's leader suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked towards him.
Even though Gu tribe's leader joined the two heavens alliance, he had always been silent. But everyone knew that he was the closest person to Wu Shuai. In terms of Wu Shuai's trust, he surpassed Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian, who were both vice alliance leaders!
Gu tribe's leader suddenly spoke, Xiao He Jian shook internally as he realized something. Before he spoke, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch had already taken the initiative: "With Lord Alliance Leader here, we have nothing to fear. At this crucial juncture of life and death, I am willing to follow Lord Alliance Leader and listen to your commands."
Xiao He Jian cursed internally but he quickly followed: "I will listen to Lord Alliance Leader's decision!"
Wu Shuai nodded slightly, snorting: "The current situation is critical, if we sit and wait here, we will definitely perish, there is no exception. We have to fight with all our strength now for a hope of survival. They are able to eliminate the qi harvest fruit because of Qi Sea Ancestor's method. As long as we do our best and kill Qi Sea Ancestor, we will gain complete victory. Even if we cannot kill him, as long as we gravely injure him, the situation will also be alleviated."
After Wu Shuai said that, Gu tribe's leader immediately shouted: "Alliance Leader is wise!"
Wu Shuai looked at Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian, these two vice alliance leaders immediately shouted: "Alliance Leader is wise, this plan is superb!"
"What ideas do you all have? If anyone has a better suggestion, you can tell us now." Wu Shuai purposely asked the other Gu Immortals.
But what ideas could these people have?
In fact, Wu Shuai said he was going to attack the enemies because he had no other choice now, this was their only hope. Other than this, could they surrender to Qi Sea Ancestor?
It was not that they did not know this, but nobody had the guts to say it. Forest Lightning grotto-heaven was the best example, everyone saw that pitiful end, who would still dare to follow in its footsteps?
"Since everyone agrees, we will discuss about the way we will send our troops, we will use our time efficiently and catch the enemy off guard." Wu Shuai said as he decided with lightning speed.
Gu tribe's leader added: "Lord Alliance Leader is right, every second we waste now will mean the enemy gets an additional second of advantage."
Immediately, the immortals started to discuss their offensive strategy.
This discussion lasted nearly an hour before they came up with a refined plan.
Wu Shuai opened the door of Dragon Palace, ordering the immortals to make preparations, they would move out in seven days.
Night Heavenly Wolf Lord returned to Night Wolf grotto-heaven, he mobilized his forces and gathered more troops while quickly informing Heavenly Court of this new development.
After Qin Ding Ling received the information, she summoned the Heavenly Court immortals for a meeting.
"The situation has changed, it seems that Wu Shuai has some spies around Qi Sea Ancestor."
"Like I said before, we cannot underestimate Wu Shuai."
"Since Wu Shuai is going to take the initiative to attack, let's use this chance to take him down!"
"That will be hard, they have Dragon Palace and Di Zang Sheng to defend them. Unless we can awaken some immortals from the graveyard, we will not have sufficient strength to deal with the enemies."
"Time is too pressing, we have seven days and the situation will occur far away in Eastern Sea."
"We can only inform Qi Sea Ancestor now and ask him to make preparations while pretending to be ignorant. When Wu Shuai attacks, he will definitely suffer a setback."
"Did you forget that Wu Shuai has spies around Qi Sea Ancestor? If Qi Sea Ancestor learns this information from us, it will also likely alert Wu Shuai."
Prince Feng Xian suddenly spoke at this time: "Why must we inform Qi Sea Ancestor?"
The discussions suddenly stopped.
"Qi Sea Ancestor is our ally, if we do not tell him about this, it will not benefit our alliance."
Prince Feng Xian shook his head slowly as he smiled: "As long as we keep quiet, why would Qi Sea Ancestor find out that we know this? Our spy in the two heavens alliance has always been kept as a secret, if we tell him now, the spy might get exposed."
"We ally with Qi Sea Ancestor because we need his strength to resolve Heavenly Court's problem of the qi harvest fruit, we also want to use him as our pawn to gather an external force that can resist the variant human forces from getting stronger."
Prince Feng Xian continued to speak: "And thirdly, if possible, we want to recruit Qi Sea Ancestor into becoming a Heavenly Court member."
Qin Ding Ling looked at Prince Feng Xian: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?"
Prince Feng Xian breathed in deeply: "In my humble opinion, we should pretend that we do not know this and act according to our original plan. Now that Qi Sea Ancestor has already secretly moved out, he will arrive in Heavenly Court in three days. By then, we can get him to solve our problem of the qi harvest fruit."
"Heavenly Court is huge and has immense foundation, the qi harvest fruit here is the largest in the world. Qi Sea Ancestor suggested us to create a qi path immortal formation, it will take at least six days to get rid of the qi harvest fruit. We can purposely delay the formation creation time, if Wu Shuai's invasion succeeds, Qi Sea Ancestor's force will suffer a huge loss."
"Qi Sea Ancestor will become anxious and want to return to help them but as the person controlling the formation, how can he leave? Qi Sea Ancestor's force will be without a leader, they will not be able to defeat Wu Shuai. In fact, even if they get wiped out, so what?"
"Our strength will not fall while Qi Sea Ancestor will become a loner. By coming to Heavenly Court secretly and failing to protect his force, causing its destruction, his reputation will fall to rock bottom. Eastern Sea's Gu Immortal world will also look down on him. Who would respect someone who goes missing in battle while helping forces of other regions?"
"At that point, Qi Sea Ancestor will understand that his status in Eastern Sea will never recover. By then, we will have no worries anymore, we can send people to take revenge for him. During the process, we can move him with logic and emotion, by tempting him with future gains, I am sure there is a high chance we can get him to join Heavenly Court."
The immortals were silent, they looked at each other before looking towards Prince Feng Xian.
At this moment, all of the immortals' gazes became different from before.
After hearing Prince Feng Xian's strategy, their impression towards him changed completely!
Prince Feng Xian's arms were behind his back, he stopped speaking as he smiled.
This scheme was vicious, none of the Gu Immortals here thought of it except him, the reason was because of his own life experiences.
Prince Feng Xian came from Spirit Affinity House, he was used as a spy initially to develop in Northern Plains. After many years, he became rank eight and also married into Gong tribe, he was the strongest spy in Northern Plains that came from Central Continent.
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals have been too used to being overlords, their mindsets were also too fixed in place. But all of the immortals here were rank eight elites, they soon understood that Prince Feng Xian's plan was the most advantageous to Heavenly Court.
Even if Wu Shuai claims victory, so what?
Only the grotto-heavens in the two heavens would suffer. Even if Eastern Sea gets involved in the fight, its foundation would not be affected.
Even if Eastern Sea's righteous path was toppled, that would only be one region. Humanity would still be the ruler of the world!
"Alright." Qin Ding Ling looked at everyone's expressions as she said, making a decision: "We will act according to Prince Feng Xian's proposal."
-x-X-x-
Heavenly Court was constantly filled with bright light.
Fang Yuan, who was disguised as Qi Sea Ancestor, had already arrived in Heavenly Court.
He floated in the air as he observed the qi harvest fruit in front of him.
The qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court was large beyond common sense, it was like a towering mountain range, vast and colossal.
"Such a huge qi harvest fruit cannot even fit in an ordinary rank eight grotto-heaven, it will destroy the aperture walls from its sheer size. Only Heavenly Court has such a deep foundation and because of the use of Cang Xuan Zi's space path fruits, the space inside is large enough to accommodate this qi harvest fruit."
Fang Yuan sighed internally.
The last time he came to Heavenly Court, he had participated in the fate war with his original appearance and caused Heavenly Court to lose badly. This time, he was acting as Heavenly Court's friend, he was here to resolve their problem of the qi harvest fruit.
Changes in situations and circumstances were often hard to predict.
"How is it?" Qin Ding Ling stood beside Fang Yuan, asking.
Fang Yuan nodded: "This is the first time I've seen such a huge qi harvest fruit, it shows that your foundation is truly unfathomable, this is truly the number one force in the world."
After pausing for a while, Fang Yuan continued: "After my inspection earlier, even though my method is effective, this qi harvest fruit is too big. We need to set up the immortal formation first, the larger the qi path immortal formation, the more time we can save."
Qin Ding Ling was slightly surprised: "Ancestor, to think that you have already come up with the immortal formation's design."
Fang Yuan shook his head: "No, the qi path immortal formation that we will set up is only going to amplify my qi path killer moves. The actual way to get rid of the qi harvest fruit is still through the qi path killer moves that I will use."
Qin Ding Ling nodded upon hearing this, the explanation was logical.
She smiled as she took out a qi path rank eight Immortal Gu: "Heavenly Court does not lack qi path Immortal Gu, to resolve the problem of the qi harvest fruit, Heavenly Court is willing to use up our qi path resources. Ancestor, look at this Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan's attention was drawn to this Immortal Gu.
"Don't tell me this is… human qi Immortal Gu?" Fang Yuan's pupils expanded as his expression changed.
Human qi Immortal Gu resembled a bee, it was thumb-sized and constantly moved its wings, floating above Qin Ding Ling's palm, it emitted a cloud-like qi.
Qin Ding Ling handed human qi Immortal Gu to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan extended his hand and held the Gu, he looked at it fixedly and praised: "Good Gu, good Gu. This Gu is related to human path, it has immense potential for development!"
Qin Ding Ling smiled as she took out a second Immortal Gu, handing it to Fang Yuan.
This was earth qi Immortal Gu, it resembled a butterfly, brown in color, it also gave off a cloud-like qi.
Fang Yuan's left hand held human qi Immortal Gu while his right hand held earth qi Immortal Gu, he looked at them with great interest: "Wonderful, wonderful."
"And this is heaven qi Immortal Gu." Qin Ding Ling said as she passed Fang Yuan a third rank eight Immortal Gu.
Heaven qi Immortal Gu resembled a dragonfly, it was green in color and had eight pairs of thin bluish wings, when it moved its wings, its entire body would emit a translucent qi current.
Fang Yuan had a solemn expression: "This heaven qi Immortal Gu is tightly connected with heaven path. Truthfully speaking, the method that I created to get rid of the qi harvest fruit only succeeded after I comprehended a trace of heaven path's profundity. If I had this Gu, I would have succeeded much earlier."
"Gu Immortals cultivate all sorts of paths, human path and heaven path are the most unique. Ancestor, you have already reached the peak of qi path, thus you are able to mimic other paths easily and comprehend the true meaning of various paths." Qin Ding Ling praised before changing her words: "These three qi Immortal Gu are the core of triple qi retraction killer move, they are priceless treasures of Heavenly Court. Only Heavenly Court members can have them."
Qin Ding Ling saw Fang Yuan's expression and felt internally happy, she hinted to him that these Gu worms would be available if he joined Heavenly Court.
After hearing this, Fang Yuan showed a hesitant expression, but he was smiling to himself internally.
All of the expressions he showed were just an act.
If he really cultivated qi path solely, these three qi Immortal Gu would be incredibly alluring. Fang Yuan had tried many times already, these three qi path Immortal Gu were the cores of triple qi retraction, they could not be replaced. If he used other qi path Immortal Gu in place of them, even if he manages to create a triple qi retraction killer move, its value in battle would fall drastically.
Thus, even though Fang Yuan had the complete Primordial Origin qi path true inheritance now, he did not benefit much from it.
Furthermore, Qi Sea Ancestor was just one of Fang Yuan's identities. He also had no lack of rank eight Immortal Gu. Attitude, Mutation, Wisdom Sword, Years Flow Like Water, Soul Beast Token, Regret, Spring, Summer, Big Qi, Region, Addition, Steal Life, Water Refinement, Advance Refinement, Dream Token, he simply had too many of them.
In Fang Yuan's eyes, only rank nine Immortal Gu could truly excite him.
But rank nine Immortal Gu were too rare.
He originally had one, which was wisdom Gu. But this Immortal Gu was tampered by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable long ago, he had no choice but to sacrifice it in the fate war.
Qin Ding Ling lent all three qi Immortal Gu and let Qi Sea Ancestor familiarize himself with them, she also arranged several Gu Immortals to modify the qi path immortal Gu formation with Qi Sea Ancestor.
Having everyone's help, the qi path immortal formation was finalized in a few days.
Fang Yuan and the Heavenly Court immortals started to set up the formation.
This qi path formation's main owner was naturally Fang Yuan.
But in the other formation cores, there would be Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals stationed, they could help him out while also supervising his actions.
Qi Sea Ancestor was an outsider after all, even though he underwent an alliance agreement, he was still not a Heavenly Court member. How could Heavenly Court not guard against him?
The truth was, the assisting Gu Immortals were not the only ones guarding against him.
The core Immortal Gu of this qi path formation, Heaven Qi, Earth Qi, and Human Qi, were temporarily lent to Fang Yuan by Qin Ding Ling. If any situation occurs, Heavenly Court could immediately take them back and make Fang Yuan lose control of the entire qi path formation.
This qi path formation was modified along with several Heavenly Court Gu Immortals. Even if they had low qi path attainment, they still had general knowledge, it was hard to deceive them. Also, Fang Yuan did not conceal anything inside this qi path formation.
The formation was definitely not an issue.
"Earth qi Gu, go!" Fang Yuan first tossed earth qi Immortal Gu as he instilled immortal essence.
Earth qi Immortal Gu quickly flew out, it went into the ground below the qi harvest fruit.
Boom!
Suddenly, with a loud explosion, the ground below the qi harvest fruit started to shake, earth qi started to rise up continuously.
Fang Yuan started to collect the earth qi, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals around him also took action, some helped with the gathering while others set up small formations around the small holes that the earth qi emerged from.
While Fang Yuan was setting up his formation, deep underground at another area of Heavenly Court, there was a huge underground square.
Qing Chou's mountain-like body was deep within this underground square, unmoving like a statue.
Bam…
Suddenly, a loud sound could be heard from afar.
The underground square shook slightly, several cracks appeared on the ground.
But Red Heart Traveler, who was defending this place, was not flustered, he immediately acted to stabilize the situation. The cracks on the ground could be seen disappearing at an observable rate.
"What's the commotion?" Qing Chou suddenly spoke, but strangely, its voice was actually Nine Spiritual Fairy's.
Nine Spiritual Fairy was actually inside Qing Chou's body, trying to forcefully refine hatred Gu.
"From this commotion, Qi Sea Ancestor must have started to create his formation. He used earth qi Immortal Gu as the first foundation of the formation, it involved the earth vein. Meanwhile, we are at one of the main earth veins, thus we could feel the influence." Red Heart Traveler spoke: "Earlier, you were at a crucial moment, so I did not inform you of this. But don't worry, this cannot interrupt our plan."
"Mm." Nine Spiritual Fairy stopped worrying as she said: "Then let's hurry up, if we can refine hatred Gu at the same time as the elimination of the qi harvest fruit, Heavenly Court will have a double celebration."
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals had already recovered from the trauma of the fate war, they became braver after the humiliation, they worked harder and had greater morale now.
Days later, the qi path formation was created, Fang Yuan was the main user and activated his method to eliminate the qi harvest fruit.
The qi harvest fruit was continuously shaved off from Fang Yuan's killer move, but this qi harvest fruit in Heavenly Court was just too big, some time was needed to completely destroy it.
Days passed, the qi harvest fruit was removed by over ten percent.
Qin Ding Ling hurried to Fang Yuan as she showed a solemn expression: "Ancestor, the situation in Eastern Sea has changed, this is not good."
Fang Yuan looked shocked: "What happened?"
"Wu Shuai suddenly led his alliance to launch an invasion, they have split into three groups, they are attacking the grotto-heaven forces that have submitted to our side. Because we were caught off guard, our losses are quite severe." Qin Ding Ling said.
"News that I came here should have been kept a secret. How did this happen? How did Wu Shuai find out so quickly?" Fang Yuan's expression changed, there was anxiety in his tone.
"Ancestor, you want to return to help Eastern Sea?" Qin Ding Ling purposely asked.
"That is so." Fang Yuan frowned: "But this method needs my full attention, if I stop halfway, there might be problematic consequences."
Qin Ding Ling cupped her fists at Fang Yuan: "Ancestor, please consider the big picture! It is unexpected that Wu Shuai attacked so soon, but if you return now, that will be what Wu Shuai wants to see. Only after eliminating the qi harvest fruit can we have a safe territory to count on. By then, you can lead our Heavenly Court's immortals to return to Eastern Sea and retaliate, you can say that you went to seek reinforcement from Heavenly Court, but Wu Shuai attacked and trapped you temporarily. By gathering our strength, we will kill Wu Shuai and get rid of the two heavens alliance. That is the true way to seek victory."
Fang Yuan did not speak, he only looked at Qin Ding Ling deeply.
Long after, he spoke in a grim tone: "Wu Shuai attacked with his full force, he must have been prepared for this. Does Heavenly Court know of their plans in advance?"
"Definitely not." Qin Ding Ling shook her head, showing a firm expression.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, he showed a struggling expression as he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I will stay here and control the formation until we get rid of the qi harvest fruit. But during this time, I need Heavenly Court to send people to assist Eastern Sea!"
Qin Ding Ling sighed as well: "We will do our best."
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth as he said: "Once I get rid of the qi harvest fruit, I will need to return and help them. But these days of unceasingly controlling the formation will cause my battle strength to fall. I need Heavenly Court to give me the three qi Immortal Gu to kill the enemies and claim victory."
Qin Ding Ling's expression changed, even though Fang Yuan spoke politely, his request for reward was really absurd, it far exceeded Qin Ding Ling's bottom line.
She rejected as she shook her head: "The three qi Immortal Gu are the treasures of Heavenly Court, only our members can…"
Before she finished, Fang Yuan interrupted: "Eastern Sea's immortals are all my subordinates."
Qin Ding Ling still shook her head: "We will remember ancestor's sacrifice, but even as Heavenly Court's leader, I cannot give you three rank eight Immortal Gu. At most, we can give you one as compensation."
"How can one Gu compensate for the people in the grotto-heavens?" Fang Yuan showed slight anger.
Boom!
While the two were negotiating, a loud sound could be heard in the sky.
A rank eight Immortal Gu House directly charged in with a fierce aura!
Heavenly Court's immortals were all shocked.
The Immortal Gu House that invaded Heavenly Court was Dragon Palace!
"How can this be?!" Qin Ding Ling could not waste time with Fang Yuan anymore, she immediately flew out of the formation to face the enemies.
Dragon Palace's door opened as Wu Shuai sat on his throne, speaking from deep within Dragon Palace: "Qin Ding Ling, we meet again."
"Wu Shuai, why are you here?" Qin Ding Ling shouted as several Gu Immortals gathered behind her.
Wu Shuai smiled coldly as he kicked a head that was near his feet.
This head fell from the stairs of the dragon throne, rolling into Central Great Hall. The person had died with his eyes wide open, it was Night Heavenly Wolf Lord.
"Old scoundrel Qi Sea can get rid of qi harvest fruits, your Heavenly Court wants to conceal this information and secretly eliminate your internal threat? Hehe, wishful thinking! I am here to destroy your Heavenly Court and also kill that old scoundrel Qi Sea, let's see who in this world can stop my rise to supremacy!"
Wu Shuai said that as he stood upright, he waved his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
At the next moment, immortals rushed out of Dragon Palace, attacking with ferocious expressions.
-x-X-x-
Central Continent, deep beneath a certain Earth Trench.
Fairy Zi Wei controlled the wisdom path formation, purple light flickered within it without spreading out.
Within the formation, other than Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and Ying Wu Xie, there was Fairy Miao Yin and Lady White Rabbit, as well as several other Gu Immortals.
After the fate war, these Gu Immortals were all left outside by Fang Yuan.
Fairy Zi Wei and the rest worked together with Bing Sai Chuan's group, capturing all of these people.
As the purple light faded, the formation stopped working, Fairy Miao Yin's expression was uncertain while Lady White Rabbit had anger in her eyes, they were both unable to move.
"Aren't you surrendering?" Ying Wu Xie laughed coldly.
"Hmph, you traitor!" Lady White Rabbit shouted angrily.
Bai Ning Bing also came over with a cold and indifferent expression: "I would advise you to reconsider, after all, you have just lost your greatest value."
Fairy Miao Yin heard this, she became more uncertain.
At this moment, Fairy Zi Wei stored away the formation as she stood up. She was very weak now after using her full strength to make the deduction, the cost was high. But joy was apparent on her face.
"It looks like she succeeded." Bing Sai Chuan was waiting outside the formation, he smiled upon seeing this.
Hei Lou Lan walked towards Bing Sai Chuan from Fairy Zi Wei's position, stopping behind him.
Fairy Zi Wei smiled lightly: "We have enough clues, we achieved success! I have already deduced Fang Yuan's location, guess where this crafty demon is hiding?"
Bing Sai Chuan frowned: "Your question is an obvious hint in itself. Don't tell me that this scoundrel Fang Yuan has been hiding in Heavenly Court?"
Fairy Zi Wei nodded: "According to my deductions, he is indeed in Heavenly Court now!"
The immortals heard this and showed varying expressions.
Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth: "He is crafty indeed, his departure from Heavenly Court earlier was just a smokescreen, he must have been hiding in Heavenly Court all along."
Old Man Zheng Yuan sighed: "No wonder we could not find his main body!"
Bai Ning Bing laughed loudly, praising: "Exciting! This is truly Fang Yuan's attitude."
Bing Sai Chuan frowned: "But how could he possibly hide until now without getting detected by Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals?"
Fairy Zi Wei's eyes flickered with bright light: "I can only deduce that he is in Heavenly Court now, he might not have been there the entire time. But in terms of ability, this demon is unfathomable. His growth is too fast, every time he fights, his enemies will see an explosive growth in his strength."
Bing Sai Chuan sighed: "Now that Fang Yuan is hiding in Heavenly Court, what can we do? Do we go and attack Heavenly Court? Should we inform Heavenly Court about this and let them kill him, but wouldn't that allow them to get all of his inheritances?"
Bing Sai Chuan represented Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they cared about the benefits of Northern Plains' Longevity Heaven. Furthermore, they had spent a lot of effort to deduce Fang Yuan's location, telling Heavenly Court about it was quite a loss for them.
Old Man Zheng Yuan reminded: "No matter what, we need to tell our master about this important information!"
Fairy Zi Wei replied: "I have already reported it to master when I stored the formation away."
Heavenly Court.
Intense battle erupted.
Boom!
Lady Cold Ash dodged with rapid speed, avoiding the explosion of a killer move.
She was the disguise of Spectral Soul, he had just received Fairy Zi Wei's information, he was not in a good mood.
"Fang Yuan is in Heavenly Court now? Of course he is, I knew about that long ago!"
Memories surfaced in Spectral Soul's mind regarding the event that happened days ago.
The Gu Immortals were called to assemble in Dragon Palace, Wu Shuai used the excuse that they were going to discuss the matter about attacking Qi Sea Ancestor.
But halfway through the meeting, Wu Shuai suddenly took action.
Dragon Palace roared, Night Heavenly Wolf Lord was caught off guard, he was hit by the killer move dreamy light smoke and was taken down without putting up a fight.
"Everyone, don't panic, this person is a spy in our alliance, he is the informant of Heavenly Court." Wu Shuai pacified the immortals while taking out evidence.
Looking at the concrete evidence, the immortals were shocked and furious, they wanted Night Wolf grotto-heaven to pay the price for this betrayal.
Wu Shuai shook his head: "We definitely need to punish Night Heavenly Wolf Lord, but the urgent matter is not this. We need to look at the big picture!"
Gu tribe's leader frowned: "Lord Alliance Leader, because of this traitor Night Heavenly Wolf Lord, our plan to attack has been exposed. If we go ahead with it, we will no longer hit our enemies by surprise."
Wu Shuai smiled grimly: "There is important information I have yet to tell you. Qi Sea Ancestor is not in Eastern Sea now, he has already gone to Central Continent's Heavenly Court many days ago."
"This is good news!" Many Gu Immortals heard this and rejoiced.
But Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch's expression was grim: "What's good about this? The reason why we are attacking Qi Sea Ancestor is because of his ability to get rid of the qi harvest fruits for others. Now that he is not around, what is the point of our assault?"
The Gu Immortals who cheered became stunned, after realizing the situation, the atmosphere in Dragon Palace became much grimmer.
"Don't worry, everyone." Wu Shuai spoke as everyone's gazes landed on him.
He continued: "It is quite simple to resolve this problem. Since Qi Sea Ancestor has gone to Central Continent's Heavenly Court, we will also head to Heavenly Court and kill Qi Sea Ancestor who is over there!"
"...What?"
"This..."
The Gu Immortals in the palace hesitated.
"It is not easy to attack Heavenly Court."
"Heavenly Court is the number one human force in the world, even though it lost in the fate war, we cannot possibly defeat it."
Many Gu Immortals wanted to give up.
But Wu Shuai snorted coldly: "You fools."
He scolded them in public, the loud noises in the palace became silent, all of the Gu Immortals did not dare to speak anymore.
"Why aren't you thinking about the reason why Heavenly Court invited Qi Sea Ancestor to visit them in secret?" Wu Shuai purposely asked with a stiff expression.
Xiao He Jian, who reacted quickly, said instantly: "Does this mean that Heavenly Court also has the problem of the qi harvest fruit?"
Wu Shuai chuckled: "Your grotto-heavens have the problem of the qi harvest fruit, Heavenly Court is also a grotto-heaven situated in white heaven, why wouldn't they have the same problem?"
After hearing this, the immortals realized at once.
This was actually just their own mentality. In their mind, Heavenly Court was the supreme organization, even though it lost the fate war, they still displayed terrifying might and foundation. They had only lost because of enemies like Fang Yuan and Red Lotus Demon Venerable. From the variant human Gu Immortals' perspective, this was not an illogical loss, it did not undermine Heavenly Court's terrifying strength.
And because of this, the variant human Gu Immortals subconsciously thought that even if Heavenly Court had the problem of the qi harvest fruit, they could resolve it themselves, after all, Heavenly Court was created by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, who became venerable through qi path.
"Lord Alliance Leader is wise!" Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch patted his forehead: "Heavenly Court invited Qi Sea Ancestor to resolve their threat of the qi harvest fruit, because even though they have their qi path inheritance, they lack a qi path Gu Immortal."
"Also, why did Heavenly Court choose to ally with Qi Sea Ancestor? Other than wanting to resist us, they also want to alleviate their own problems."
"Precisely." Wu Shuai looked at Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch with an expression of praise: "You guys are not too stupid after all. Heavenly Court is at its weakest state now, while Qi Sea Ancestor has gone to resolve the qi harvest fruit problem. As long as we attack them during this period, the result will be shocking when we catch them unguarded!"
"If we attack Heavenly Court before Qi Sea Ancestor starts working on the qi harvest fruit, we will attack the qi harvest fruit and force them to go on the defensive. This way, we will hold the initiative and be able to retreat or advance at will."
"If Qi Sea Ancestor is using his killer move to eliminate the qi harvest fruit while we attack Heavenly Court, that will be even better! We can disrupt him with our full strength and cause Qi Sea Ancestor's killer move to fail and suffer a backlash. If we work harder, we might be able to kill him on the spot."
Wu Shuai said calmly.
"But what if Qi Sea Ancestor has already gotten rid of the qi harvest fruit by the time we attack Heavenly Court?" A Gu Immortal asked with caution.
Wu Shuai snorted coldly: "Heavenly Court's foundation is too deep, their qi harvest fruit is also very extraordinary, if Qi Sea Ancestor spends effort to get rid of it, his own condition will definitely slip. Of course, this is just the worst case scenario, but we are in an urgent situation in the first place, we will need to take risks for any hope. Other than this, do you have other ideas?"
Facing Wu Shuai's question, everyone was silent.
In this situation, they had no choice but to follow Wu Shuai and attack Heavenly Court.
But...
Many of the Gu Immortals were still hesitant, including their vice alliance leaders, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian.
"Or perhaps, we can try to experiment and find a way to get rid of the qi harvest fruit?" A Gu Immortal asked softly.
Wu Shuai's expression sank a little, he scolded in his head: "These variant human Gu Immortals have been cowards for too long, they have absolutely no courage to take risks."
But Wu Shuai predicted this earlier, he started to laugh.
"Why is Lord Alliance Leader laughing?" Gu tribe's leader asked.
Wu Shuai stopped his laughter as he said: "The truth is, I am also worried about bringing you fools to attack Heavenly Court. But I have invited a strong reinforcement to help us, because of him, I learned about Night Heavenly Wolf Lord's betrayal."
"Oh? Who?" The immortals were curious.
Lady Cold Ash's gaze flickered, having a guess.
At this moment, from behind Wu Shuai, a Gu Immortal walked out. He wore a white robe, his black hair extended to his waist, he had a peerless face with divine brilliance, cold light oozed out of his abyss-like eyes.
"Ahhh!"
"Fang Yuan..."
"It's him, it really is him."
The immortals' pupils shrunk as their expressions changed, all of them were shocked.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Yuan spoke slowly in a cold tone: "Heavenly Court has gone too far, now that I have regained my strength, I am about to attack them. Without Duke Long, who can stop me?"
His voice resounded in the palace, nobody dared to retort to him. Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and the rest had palpitating hearts, with a monster like Fang Yuan leading them, they gained a huge boost in morale and confidence!
Fang Yuan was someone who had defeated Heavenly Court, his battle strength was apparent to the whole world!
Undeniably, he was the number one demon in the current world.
-x-X-x-
Roar—!
The Evil Dragon's roar shook heaven and earth, whipping up storms and clouds. Its mountain range-like body moved at the front, followed by the immortals of the two heavens alliance, and finally, Dragon Palace at the end.
Primordial qi wall!
This was the method left by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, it appeared once again when Heavenly Court was attacked, but it could not stop Di Zang Sheng's advancement!
"The five regions became one, this Evil Dragon has gotten much stronger! Furthermore... ever since the fate war, after Fang Yuan broke the primordial qi wall, even though it recovered a little, it is much weaker than before." Qin Ding Ling frowned, she quickly analyzed the situation, with just the primordial qi wall, they could stall for some time but they could not stop this Evil Dragon!
"Lady Qin, do you need me to battle?" At this moment, Nine Spiritual Fairy transmitted and asked.
Heavenly Court once had transformation path great experts, Zhang Fei Xiong and Flesh Whip Immortal, but now they were dead, Nine Spiritual Fairy was the only transformation path great expert left.
"No, we are only one step away from subduing Qing Chou, continue to refine hatred Gu." Qin Ding Ling transmitted before shouting: "Shabi Ninety-five, Ruan Dan, aren't you going to fight yet?!"
Hearing a tiger roar and crane cry at once, two legendary immemorial desolate beasts appeared in front of Di Zang Sheng.
The three legendary immemorial desolate beasts fought intensely, causing the entire place to rumble.
After just a few rounds, Ruan Dan and Shabi Ninety-five started to retreat. They were in pitiful states, with just physical brawling, they were not Di Zang Sheng's match.
Thus, they started to use killer moves, instantly, grey light shot out like blades, pill light exploded.
Di Zang Sheng roared, purple-gold light appeared on its body, blocking all of the offensive killer moves.
Next, the golden light faded away. Di Zang Sheng's whiskers grew out rapidly, each of them shot out like countless snakes, the commotion was huge.
Facing this attack, Shabi Ninety-five and Ruan Dan had to retreat.
"This Evil Dragon actually has Immortal Gu now, it can use killer moves!" Qin Ding Ling's heart sank, she took a look at Dragon Palace.
Di Zang Sheng was a legendary immemorial beast to begin with, it had superior intelligence and could use Gu worms to activate killer moves. But before the fate war, it was enslaved by Dragon Palace and had no time to obtain Gu worms. Thus, during the fate war, it could only fight using its physical body. That was why it could not resist Feng Jiu Ge's destiny song, it was handled very quickly, even against other killer moves, it could only resist using its body.
But after the fate war, Wu Shuai made considerations to prepare Gu worms for Di Zang Sheng.
At that time, Wu Shuai was quite poor, he did not have excessive Immortal Gu.
Even though the main body had many Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan was moving around in Western Desert, he did not meet with Wu Shuai initially, also, even though he had Immortal Gu, they were not suitable for Di Zang Sheng.
But Wu Shuai had great luck, he grasped onto his opportunity and became the leader of the two heavens alliance.
With sufficient resources, Wu Shuai started to equip Di Zang Sheng. By now, Wu Shuai and his main body had taken over the two heavens alliance, by using the excuse of eliminating the qi harvest fruit, he destroyed several grotto-heavens and made forceful transactions with the Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance, Di Zang Sheng finally gathered enough Gu worms to form some basic killer moves.
Di Zang Sheng suppressed Ruan Dan and Shabi Ninety-five, forcing them to retreat as it charged forward ferociously.
Qin Ding Ling yelled as she flew up into an Immortal Gu House. Several Immortal Gu Houses flew towards Di Zang Sheng, they formed a defensive line.
Di Zang Sheng's advancement was halted, Shabi Ninety-five and Ruan Dan also joined the encirclement.
"We finally stopped it!" Qin Ding Ling calmed down slightly, but at this moment, she saw Dragon Palace flying around, towards the qi harvest fruit.
Heavenly Court's qi harvest fruit was too huge and too eye-catching!
Wu Shuai was too vicious, he attacked the enemy's weakness, Qin Ding Ling's expression changed as she quickly moved a portion of the Immortal Gu Houses to block Dragon Palace.
"The situation is critical, if the qi harvest fruit is destroyed, the whole of Heavenly Court will face destruction! Quickly awaken the people sleeping in the immortal graveyard!" Zhou Xiong Xin urged.
"Or we can let Nine Spiritual Fairy and Red Heart Traveler join the fight!" Bai Cang Shui suggested.
Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth, deciding: "Awaken those in our immortal graveyard!"
More than half of Heavenly Court's immortal graveyard was destroyed, there were only a small number of Gu Immortals left sleeping in it. But with the awakening of these people, they formed sufficient force to handle the pressure, their defensive line that was precarious became stable now.
"Go and attack the qi harvest fruit!" Wu Shuai gave an order to the alliance army.
These Gu Immortals had dispersed earlier, they were like scattered sand, trying to make their way through the qi wall and towards the qi harvest fruit.
Seeing this, Qin Ding Ling felt enraged, she gritted her teeth, she was furious: "I will grind the bones of these variant humans into ash, I will kill them all!"
The two heavens alliance's Gu Immortals were not very strong but they had the numbers, and right now, Heavenly Court's weakness was their lack of manpower.
"Don't worry, there are many variant human Gu Immortals but they are all cowards. As long as we send one person to kill several of these invaders, they will lose their morale and not dare to progress further!" Prince Feng Xian suggested.
"Who can take on the task?" Qin Ding Ling quickly asked.
Che Wei replied with his actions, he turned into a flash of light and flew out of the Immortal Gu House, towards the qi harvest fruit.
"Die!" He flew like a great eagle, unleashing killer moves that were extremely powerful, his might could not be resisted.
"Ahh—!"
"What killer move is this?"
Out of two variant human Gu Immortals, one was heavily injured, the other was killed on the spot.
At the crucial moment, Che Wei displayed outstanding battle strength, both sides were similarly shocked.
After all, he had just defeated two variant human Gu Immortals with rank eight cultivation level.
"That killer move seems to be from a whole new path?"
"Too terrifying. Before we can understand its background, if I charge towards him, I will definitely be split into two by his blade."
"Let's wait for Fang Yuan to attack instead!"
The Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance were hesitant, they stopped moving forward.
"These useless trash!" In the depth of Dragon Palace, Wu Shuai frowned with anger showing on his face.
At the crucial moment, these variant human Gu Immortals were completely useless, they were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.
But Wu Shuai was prepared for this, he waved his hand: "Your turn to fight!"
Four figures flew out of Dragon Palace, they were the Four Dragon Generals, Zhang Yin, Granny Rong, Yang Zi He, and Old Man Bei Feng, who took the place of Shi Miao.
These four rank eight Gu Immortals were enslaved by Dragon Palace, they had absolute loyalty and did not fear death, they split up into four different directions and advanced.
Even though Che Wei was strong, he could only block one person.
"Protect me!" Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted to Qin Ding Ling: "Now is a crucial moment, if we stop here, the consequences will be unthinkable."
Qin Ding Ling almost wanted to grit her teeth till they shattered, the three dragon generals were very close to the qi harvest fruit, she had to take a risk and mobilize Immortal Gu Houses to block them.
At the same time, two Gu Immortals flew out of the Immortal Gu Houses to resist the dragon generals.
Roar—!
Right when Heavenly Court managed to block the Four Dragon Generals, over on Dragon Palace's end, it exerted force to stop Ruan Dan. Using this chance, Di Zang Sheng rammed Shabi Ninety-five away as it charged forward, managing to reach the qi harvest fruit.
Di Zang Sheng opened its mouth and spat out a torrent of green qi.
The green qi shattered the immortal formation and hit the qi harvest fruit.
The qi harvest fruit shook intensely, Qi Sea Ancestor's expression changed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, the killer move was halted, he seemed to have suffered great backlash.
"Oh no!" The expressions of Heavenly Court's immortals changed.
"We succeeded!" The subordinates of Wu Shuai started to cheer, their morale rose.
The qi harvest fruit was damaged, it implicated Heavenly Court. The land of Heavenly Court cracked, Earth Trenches appeared, earth qi rumbled, heaven qi shook, the sky became chaotic as countless clouds and gusts of wind stirred.
Crack, crack.
The aperture wall of Heavenly Court started to crack, large pieces of the wall fragments fell off and created huge holes that connected to the outside world.
Even the fate war did not deal such great damage to Heavenly Court!
The appearance of the qi harvest fruit created a fatal weakness in Heavenly Court.
"Die!" Che Wei was enraged, his left hand was like a blade, his right hand was like a spear, both hands pushed forward as two golden-silver lights pierced Yang Zi He.
Yang Zi He died!
Wu Shuai laughed loudly, shouting: "Today is the day Heavenly Court faces destruction."
Qin Ding Ling's eyelids twitched, even though Wu Shuai's side suffered more losses, he was not wrong about it. With their greatest weakness, the qi harvest fruit, Wu Shuai had the initiative in this battle!
"Heavenly Court is facing a crisis, what should we do?" Even someone like Qin Ding Ling felt lost at this moment.
Amidst her feeling of loss, she also felt fear: "Don't tell me Heavenly Court is going to be destroyed in my hands?"
Right at this moment, Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted to her: "The situation is quite critical, we need to take a risk."
Qin Ding Ling responded subconsciously: "What risk?"
"Earlier, my qi path Immortal Gu were destroyed, I can no longer use the previous method to eliminate the qi harvest fruit. But I had created a killer move that is incomplete, it can cause the qi harvest fruit to shrink temporarily." Qi Sea Ancestor said.
Qin Ding Ling's eyes shined, she saw hope in this desperate situation, she quickly said: "Ancestor, please use it! As long as we get through this crisis, Heavenly Court will not disappoint you."
Heavenly Court's greatest problem was the qi harvest fruit now. It was too big, like a mountain range, it was the biggest target for killer moves. But if it shrunk, it would be much easier to protect.
"We need to be fast, this killer move is not complete, I can only hold on for some time." Qi Sea Ancestor said as he flew towards the qi harvest fruit.
When he was about to crash into it, he turned into a human-shaped qi current that fused into the qi harvest fruit.
The qi harvest fruit shook, as expected, it started to shrink.
After a few breaths of time, it went from a mountain range-like size into the size of a horse carriage.
This change made the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals surprised but also happy.
An Immortal Gu House flew down and floated above the qi harvest fruit, it shot out a grand pillar of light that enveloped the entire qi harvest fruit.
Wu Shuai's side rained down a torrent of killer moves but they could not affect the pillar of light at all.
Di Zang Sheng and Dragon Palace arrived again.
"Stop them!" Qin Ding Ling shouted, but their situation was too passive, they had no choice but to retreat.
The qi harvest fruit shrank again, it went from a horse carriage to the size of a normal gourd.
Seeing that they were about to lose again, Qin Ding Ling quickly asked: "Ancestor, can you move the qi harvest fruit away?"
Qi Sea Ancestor replied weakly: "This is already my limit! I researched on Demon Immortal Qi Jue's revival method, I can only shrink the fruit but I cannot move it. This method has only been created haphazardly, it is not complete, you need to quickly think of a solution!"
Qin Ding Ling was out of ideas already, she originally wanted to send the members of the ten great ancient sects here to fight. But Central Heaven Gate of Heavenly Court, which could deploy members, was destroyed by Fairy Zi Wei during the fate war.
But at the next moment, the primordial qi wall shattered, countless qi currents landed on Di Zang Sheng's body.
Di Zang Sheng's battle strength fell rapidly, its threat level was lowered.
This was the backup method of Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, it was used on Fang Yuan during the fate war. At that time, Fang Yuan could not break away from it, Limitless Demon Venerable had to take action to help him block these qi currents.
But now, the chess game had ended, the two venerables' silhouettes were gone, there was nothing that could help Di Zang Sheng.
In an instant, Di Zang Sheng was suppressed by Shabi Ninety-five.
Heavenly Court's crisis was temporarily alleviated.
On Wu Shuai's side, they lost their most important battle strength, Dragon Palace had to step up and use the killer move dreamy light smoke, as Heavenly Court had no way of countering it, Dragon Palace's demonic might surged.
"This cannot go on, our Heavenly Court lacks people with peak battle strength after all!" Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth.
If Duke Long was here, how could these enemies act so ferociously?
"Qi Sea Ancestor has peak battle strength too but he faced backlash from the failure of the killer move. He is also not a member of Heavenly Court, why would he fight to the death for us?"
While Qin Ding Ling was thinking of this, Qi Sea Ancestor transmitted again.
"The biggest key now is to get rid of the qi harvest fruit. As long as it is removed, we can go on the offensive without worries. There is still hope now, my killer move only lacks the final part for completion! There is a high chance of success."
Qin Ding Ling's heart shook: "What do you need?"
Qi Sea Ancestor replied: "I need Heavenly Court's heaven path true meaning, I need to raise my heaven path attainment level and conceptualize the complete killer move rapidly to get rid of the qi harvest fruit!"
-x-X-x-
After hearing that Qi Sea Ancestor wanted heaven path true meaning, Qin Ding Ling smiled bitterly: "Even though Heavenly Court has deep foundations, we have never seen nor heard of heaven path true meaning."
"Oh? Why is that so?" Qi Sea Ancestor asked.
"Because nobody can cultivate heaven path. If it can be cultivated, why would our Heavenly Court create Heaven Overseeing Tower to make use of fate Gu?" Qin Ding Ling's words were filled with deep emotions.
No Gu Immortal could cultivate heaven path, therefore, heaven path true meaning had never existed!
It was not easy for a Gu Immortal to leave behind true meaning.
To leave behind true meaning, wisdom path and rule path had the greatest ease. As for other paths, they had to reach a certain level of mimicking these paths to leave their true meaning behind. For example, Long Hair Ancestor's refinement path true meaning or Reckless Savage's transformation path true meaning.
After hearing Qin Ding Ling's reply, Fang Yuan did not feel dejected.
He came prepared, his request was actually his probing towards Heavenly Court's foundation, what if they had it after all?
Heavenly Court not having heaven path true meaning was not unexpected.
Qi Sea Ancestor (Fang Yuan) sighed deeply as he transmitted to Qin Ding Ling: "Then there is no hope. I can only come out and fight alongside Heavenly Court to kill these variant humans."
Qin Ding Ling instantly became anxious.
The qi harvest fruit was Heavenly Court's fatal weakness, the reason why they could still maintain a deadlock was because Qi Sea Ancestor made the fruit smaller. Once he lets go and it returns to being mountain size, Heavenly Court would be in a difficult spot, the situation would be hard to turn around.
Qin Ding Ling was facing immense pressure now.
Some of her pressure came from the enemies, but a portion came from within her.
After the fate war, the immortal graveyard was heavily damaged, Heavenly Court's foundation was reduced, Qin Ding Ling had to take on this responsibility and manage all the affairs of Heavenly Court, which was on the brink of destruction.
She worked hard over these days, she had given it her all, she exerted her body and mind for Heavenly Court, trying to restore its former glory.
Similar to the other Heavenly Court members, Qin Ding Ling had an intense feeling of belonging to Heavenly Court.
But now, the enemies were attacking suddenly, they even had the fatal weakness of the qi harvest fruit, Qin Ding Ling sensed a huge danger: "Was Heavenly Court going to be destroyed in this fight? Was it because of her failure to defend it, would she be the biggest sinner of Heavenly Court's history?"
Rumble!
The intense battle continued, Dragon Palace rampaged unhindered.
Qin Ding Ling took charge of the situation, observing the battlefield, while mobilizing the people and communicating with Qi Sea Ancestor.
With both internal and external threats, the pressure was pushing her to make a gamble.
"Qi Sea, do not give up. Even though Heavenly Court does not have heaven path true meaning, we have abundant heaven path research results. I will hand them to you!"
Qin Ding Ling passed an information path Immortal Gu to Qi Sea Ancestor without hesitation.
"My plan succeeded!" Fang Yuan received this information path Immortal Gu, he sighed deeply in his heart as he looked into it immediately.
"Brilliant! Wonderful! Astounding!" Fang Yuan only saw a small portion but his eyes shined with bright light, he praised it continuously in his heart.
For the last three million years, Heavenly Court rose to become the number one human force in the world. These years, they initially followed the will of heaven, before trying to resist it later, followed by altering heaven's will and interfering with the Heavenly Dao.
Their heaven path research results were abundant, they undeniably had the most progress in the world!
Fate Gu was a heaven path Immortal Gu, it could not be used by anyone. But Heavenly Court forcibly created Heaven Overseeing Tower and unleashed a portion of fate Gu's might.
In the five hundred years of his previous life, why did Spectral Soul infiltrate Heavenly Court? A large portion of the reasons were to try obtaining the heaven path research results!
As for why Limitless Demon Venerable decided to make a bet with Star Constellation's will and set up a game of chess, wasn't it because he wanted to use Heavenly Court's heaven path research results to help in his plan within Crazed Demon Cave?
And now, they ended up in Fang Yuan's hands.
Fang Yuan looked into them, his heart shook.
He saw two killer moves.
One was named heaven-human sensation, the other was called human executing heaven's work, they were both created by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable.
Heaven-human sensation allowed a Gu Immortal's will to interact and fuse with heaven's will. Human executing heaven's work was built on the foundation of heaven-human sensation, it allowed a Gu Immortal to replace heaven's will to a certain degree.
Precisely because of these two killer moves, Star Constellation's will could interfere and affect heaven's will, she could even replace heaven's will to control fate Gu and allow Heavenly Court to have a decisive rule for three million years!
"The solution lies in this!" Fang Yuan acutely sensed that these two killer moves were the key to breaking out of his current predicament.
He took a risk to come to Heavenly Court now and deceive Qin Ding Ling, it was to achieve his goals, which were finally reached.
"Qi Sea, I wonder if these research results can help you complete the killer move?" Qin Ding Ling asked while in intense battle.
Fang Yuan coughed: "Your heaven path research results are quite helpful to me. But modifying a killer move right now carries risk, I need you to fight and stall for time, get me as much time as possible."
Qin Ding Ling gritted her teeth: "Ancestor, you need to be fast, we can only do our best. In the worst case, we have to give up Heavenly Court and save the Gu Immortals instead."
She had already made plans for the worst case scenario.
Fang Yuan continued to read.
Following the two killer moves were the concepts that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable came up with, Fang Yuan looked at them and gained deep enlightenment.
"My will represents heaven's will, heaven's will represents my will... so that's it, so that's it."
Fang Yuan remained stationary as he focused on comprehending this information, he allowed his clone, Wu Shuai, to continue leading the two heavens alliance to fight against Heavenly Court.
Because of Primordial Origin's method, Di Zang Sheng was no longer as strong, Ruan Dan suppressed it. As for Shabi Ninety-five, it had already rejoined the defensive line, to become part of the force that resisted Dragon Palace.
Under Wu Shuai's control, Dragon Palace charged around the battlefield unhindered, Heavenly Court was greatly troubled by its power.
But on the other hand, the Gu Immortals of the two heavens alliance were suppressed, they were not as powerful as each Heavenly Court Gu Immortal.
Compared to the Heavenly Court members, they were lacking in strength. Only two people had equivalent battle strength, they were the two vice alliance leaders, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian.
As for Spectral Soul, who was pretending to be Lady Cold Ash, he continued to conceal himself, on the surface, he was desperately fighting and unable to put up strong resistance.
"This is a prime opportunity! Fairy Zi Wei, bring everyone and participate in the battle in Heavenly Court!" Spectral Soul gave instructions: "Fang Yuan is in Heavenly Court, I will kill him, the members of Heavenly Court, and Qi Sea Ancestor."
Fairy Zi Wei received the instructions and asked: "Do we include Longevity Heaven's group? Do we tell them about the situation in Heavenly Court?"
Fairy Zi Wei had only deduced Fang Yuan's location, Bing Sai Chuan knew about it too. But he did not know about Heavenly Court's current situation, he just thought that they were being cautious.
In that case, Bing Sai Chuan would need to conceal the information of Fang Yuan's location. Even though he wanted to let them fight each other as well, if Heavenly Court captures or kills Fang Yuan, they would gain all of his inheritances and Immortal Gu, wouldn't that be benefiting them?
Thus, Bing Sai Chuan's plan was to continue working with Spectral Soul's side and try to attack Heavenly Court together next time.
Spectral Soul recalled the attack from Giant Sun during the fate war and snorted coldly, he did not hesitate: "No need to tell them, hide this from them, your group will come alone!"
Thus, Fairy Zi Wei did not say anything, after leaving Bing Sai Chuan's group, her group headed towards Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Court was damaged and the aperture wall was cracked, it became connected to the outside world. Fairy Zi Wei and the rest could get in very quickly.
"Fairy Zi Wei's group cannot turn the situation around, we need to wait until both sides suffer mutual loss before we can exert the maximum impact." Spectral Soul considered.
For him, the best case was for Wu Shuai and Heavenly Court to cripple each other's battle strength. By then, if he took action, he would reap huge gains.
"But why hasn't that scoundrel Fang Yuan done anything?" Spectral Soul observed Dragon Palace while at the same time, an Immortal Gu House from Heavenly Court attacked him.
Spectral Soul withheld his killing intent, he abandoned a group of soul beasts, retreating continuously.
In order to lay low, he decided to wait and endure.
But this Immortal Gu House came for him and used a killer move, a ray of profound light shot out towards Spectral Soul.
Spectral Soul's heart shook as he hesitated. He had the ability to dodge this but Lady Cold Ash did not. There was no choice, he abandoned another group of soul beasts to block the Immortal Gu House and stall for time.
"Die!" Che Wei suddenly appeared behind Lady Cold Ash, his body shined in golden light, his aura was sharp as a blade.
"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Spectral Soul was deeply enraged but he decided to keep up the act.
Boom!
Che Wei's attack landed on Lady Cold Ash, she fell towards the ground as she coughed out mouthfuls of blood.
Lady Cold Ash's aura weakened continuously until it was completely still.
"Dead!"
"I killed another one."
Che Wei did not sense Spectral Soul, he flew away in the Immortal Gu House, towards the other areas of the battlefield.
Spectral Soul remained on the ground like a corpse, not moving and pretending to be dead.
Boom boom boom!
A while after he landed on the ground, a series of immortal killer moves turned into lightning as they shot down, erupting around Spectral Soul's body.
Lady Cold Ash was turned into char, half of her flesh was cooked and emitted the fragrance of meat.
"I'll endure!" Spectral Soul gritted his teeth.
Bam.
With a loud sound, Di Zang Sheng also fell, it landed on top of Spectral Soul.
Next, Ruan Dan flew towards Di Zang Sheng and shouted excitedly: "Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!"
Bam bam bam...
The ground shook intensely, Spectral Soul's bones were almost all crushed: "I'll endure!"
Di Zang Sheng and Ruan Dan flew away, soon, an Immortal Gu House came.
It was Dragon Palace.
Immortal killer move — Dreamy Light Smoke!
Wu Shuai used a dream path killer move and chased after Qin Ding Ling relentlessly.
Qin Ding Ling dodged the attack rapidly, the dreamy smoke killer move could not turn around in time, it was about to land on Spectral Soul.
Spectral Soul: "..."
"Enough is enough!" At the next moment, he rose up abruptly, waving his hand, black qi permeated throughout the entire battlefield.
Whoosh, the ground shook, mountains rumbled, all of the Gu Immortals present were blown away by the impact.
