With a pale expression and heavy eye bags, Yu Zi entered Star Collection City in a daze.
After working hard for over ten days without resting, she finally finished arranging black-yellow earth pool with the help of two other Gu Immortals.
"Isn't this Fairy Yu Zi? I heard you were in charge of arranging the black-yellow earth pool?"
A Gu Immortal greeted Yu Zi.
Yu Zi quickly raised her spirit and responded.
"Your luck is really good, this mission rewards a lot of contribution points. I was held up with another task at that time, otherwise, I would have also taken this mission." Another Gu Immortal said to Yu Zi.
Yu Zi smiled, nodding towards the Gu Immortal.
The two immortals quickly parted after that.
This was the style of the Gu Immortals of the sovereign immortal aperture, they were always in a hurry, making use of every second.
"Your condition does not look good, go to Liver Life Hall immediately." Lian Ke Xin came across Yu Zi and said with concern.
"You are also here?" Yu Zi felt much more at ease when she saw a Gu Immortal of her kin.
Lian Ke Xin nodded: "I just came out of Liver Life Hall, the sovereign immortal aperture added black-yellow earth pool, there really are a lot of super resource points here."
Yu Zi said in agreement: "From what I know, there are rolling fall cliff, triple sacred mountain, divine needle valley, frost dragon pond, pin tree snowfield, water spider sea, and heavenly crystal storage pool. Now, there is this black-yellow earth pool, there must definitely be others as well."
Before Lian Ke Xin and Yu Zi entered the sovereign immortal aperture, they were leaders of the Merman Imperial Court, and were aware of the value of super resource points.
Normally speaking, resource points were divided into several grades.
Tiny resource points, small-sized resource points, and mid-sized resource points produced rank one to rank five cultivation resources.
Large resource points could stably produce rank six resources, and occasionally rank seven resources.
Giant resource points could stably produce rank seven resources.
Super resource points were at rank eight level, and the pinnacle resource points were those secluded domains of heaven and earth.
A super resource point could lead to an all-out contest between super forces, and it could even result in casualties.
The five regions' super forces were in possession of super resource points; the richer ones had more than ten, while the poorer ones had at least three or four.
Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven were naturally not counted among these super forces.
Strictly speaking, Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven should be considered ultimate forces!
Right now, Fang Yuan's force could also be considered an ultimate force. There were over ten super resource points in the sovereign immortal aperture, it was just that the mermaid immortals had not been here for a long time, so they did not come into contact with the other resources.
"The sovereign immortal aperture's foundation has increased again, this is a good thing. But I am worried about the abnormal situations happening more often." Lian Ke Xin was happy but also worried.
Resource points contained dense amount of dao marks, after they were shifted into the sovereign immortal aperture, the immortal aperture's dao marks would naturally increase.
By now, the mermaid immortals had already realized the source of the abnormal situations.
Lian Ke Xin was worried, Yu Zi was too, she said in a quiet voice: "Master sent several Gu Immortals outside, there is a shortage of manpower in the sovereign immortal aperture again. Over this period of time, missions have been constantly increasing on the mission board, the Gu Immortals' mission completion speed cannot match the speed of the addition of new missions. Sigh, it will be great if master can bring in more Gu Immortals."
Lian Ke Xin nodded and said: "I also hope for more companions. But rashly bringing in the five regions' Gu Immortals is not appropriate. On one hand, we will have to remove the suspicion of insiders and spies, on the other hand, there is racial equality here. If those self-righteous human Gu Immortals come in, they might destroy the harmony here. Master may also have such misgivings."
The two talked while walking towards Liver Life Hall.
Yu Zi looked at the Liver Life Hall and suddenly understood: "I heard Liver Life Hall was only a liver life formation before. Master worked hard to modify it into an Immortal Gu House, it was really a wise move."
The immortal formation was closely connected to its surroundings, but Immortal Gu House was an independent body.
Abnormal situations occurred frequently in the sovereign immortal aperture, and the immortal formations of various locations suffered, but Immortal Gu Houses were not disturbed.
Yu Zi sighed: "I am somewhat worried. Don't you think master's idea for the development of the aperture is somewhat radical? The current sovereign immortal aperture is walking on a thin rope, we have to use all our effort to maintain this fragile balance. Even so, we are slowly slipping down the abyss of failure."
Lian Ke Xin squinted her eyes: "Maybe this nature is one of the reasons for master's legendary rise. The current sovereign immortal aperture is truly like a glutton, it already is full to the point of indigestion, but is still eating regardless. By constructing dao veins everywhere, we are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If we don't solve the fundamental issues, abnormal situations will still continue."
Yu Zi shook her head slightly: "In this period of time, I saw Lord Wu Shuai and Lord Meng Qiu Zhen. Both are peerlessly beautiful. I don't believe such incredible existences are not aware of the root issue. We are only minor characters, how can we estimate master's thoughts?"
"Yes. This root issue is not our concern." Lian Ke Xin patted Yu Zi's arm, "Alright, Yu Zi, the Liver Life Hall is in front. I won't accompany you, I still have a mission to do."
Yu Zi parted with Lian Ke Xin as well.
She did not tell her abnormal state to Lian Ke Xin.
Yu Zi entered Liver Life Hall with familiarity.
Yu Zi had visited this mysterious Immortal Gu House many times, so she was not a stranger to it.
She thought this use would also go smoothly, but how could she have expected an accident to happen.
Boom.
Liver Life Hall shook as the nearby Gu Immortals were alerted.
"Looking at this, it seems someone's liver exploded again?"
"Hehe, this is a terrible feeling for them."
"No matter who it is, they are much luckier than me. The healing hall was constructed not long ago."
By the time Yu Zi woke up, she found she was no longer in the Liver Life Hall.
She was lying on a large porcelain plate with dazzling white light filling her surroundings.
After she adapted to this light with difficulty, she saw a will floating in the air and watching her.
This will took a form, it was in the appearance of Fang Yuan's main body.
Yu Zi tried to stand up to greet him, but was stopped by Fang Yuan's will: "Don't move carelessly, your liver exploded, your injuries are not light. Also, some dao marks are still hiding in your body. Although they were suppressed temporarily by dream path methods, they are showing signs of erupting again."
Yu Zi immediately panicked, she did not want to grow moldy hair in front of Fang Yuan's will.
Naturally, her current situation was extremely pitiful.
After her liver exploded, her stomach burst open, half of her rib bones were sent flying, and all her organs were injured.
Yu Zi looked at Fang Yuan's will, immediately saying: "Please save me, master. I already have enough contribution points."
Fang Yuan's will nodded: "Your contribution points are enough, I have several treatment plans here for you."
"First is to use a time path killer move to restore you back to your previous state."
"Second is to transplant an ancient desolate beast's liver into you, and use a transformation path method to merge the liver with your body."
"Third is to use a refinement path method, we will get rid of your abnormal dao marks first, then refine a brand new liver."
"And finally, the fourth option is my personal recommendation. This is an immortal killer move called salt water liver. After you cultivate it, you can create a new liver. This liver not only has water path dao marks, but also food path dao marks; using this liver, you can dual cultivate food path."
"Compared to an ordinary Gu Immortal's liver, salt water liver can bear the support of Liver Life Hall much longer and last for many more uses. Moreover, if you fall into a predicament and have no way out, and are in shortage of food, you can eat this liver to satisfy your hunger."
"The fifth method is..."
Fang Yuan's will continued to describe over ten treatment plans.
After Yu Zi listened to them attentively, she asked about the price.
She found the most stable and safest method was the first time path plan. But because she cultivated water path, the time path killer move's effect would not be obvious. She would have to pay a higher price for an obvious effect. Thus, the performance-cost ratio of the first plan was not high.
The most effective treatment was the second plan. If Yu Zi could afford the price, she could use an immemorial desolate beast's liver to transplant into her body.
The lowest price was the refinement path plan, that was also the third plan.
The highest performance-cost ratio plan was the fourth plan.
"Salt water liver..." Yu Zi considered for a while before nodding, "I choose this."
While Yu Zi was being treated, looking over in Western Desert.
Xiao Ye Hu gazed at Wan Hao Guang with a frown: "Muddy beach is no more, perfume flying island is also no more! They were openly sold to Heaven Refining Demon Venerable by Fang clan. Our contract needs to be changed."
Wan Hao Guang showed a painful expression: "Xiao Ye Hu, you have already been here five times to talk over the contract. Is it appropriate to change it at will? We should follow my previous suggestion, we should quickly attack Fang clan and drive them away, won't it be much easier to change the contract based on the actual state?"
Xiao Ye Hu shook his head, sighing deeply: "Wan Hao Guang, that is very risky. Your clan's resource points are almost all sold by Fang clan. Even if we succeed in attacking Fang clan, can you bring out enough remuneration? You have contacted all the super forces of Western Desert. Looking at the price you paid to invite these people to join the alliance, are you still able to satisfy my Xiao clan first?"
Wan Hao Guang felt an extreme headache, he was about to appease Xiao Ye Hu when suddenly, heaven and earth shook, thunderous explosions occurred.
Their gathering point was ambushed!
"It is Fang clan!"
"Such guts, we haven't even gone to attack them, yet they dare to send themselves to death!"
"Fight!"
The anti-Fang alliance army reacted and attacked furiously.
The Wan clan Gu Immortals were extremely angry.
It was this bunch of shameless scoundrels who sold off their resource points.
They had to modify the contracts almost every day, this caused them a great headache.
Fang clan mobilized three Immortal Gu Houses this time!
The Fang clan immortals were also extremely angry.
You guys! You guys!!
You forced our Fang clan to sell all those resource points.
Bam bam bam...
Both sides were so furious that the moment they started the battle, a huge commotion could be heard, rocks cracked and rubble flew.
-x-X-x-
The thunderous explosions rang for a while as the killer moves collided with each other. Even the aftershock was fatal!
Fang clan's attack was too sudden, surpassing anti-Fang alliance's expectations. What made the anti-Fang alliance regret was that they were not stationed at a resource point, but in an ordinary desert.
They were about to make a large scale move against Fang clan, but they had to discuss their payment before the battle.
Fang Di Chang's plan was very effective, they did open transactions with Fang Yuan repeatedly which led to internal instability in the anti-Fang alliance, greatly postponing their official expedition.
And this sudden attack was also Fang Di Chang's proposition!
"Fang Di Chang!!!" Wan Xiao gritted his teeth.
Not only him, the other immortals of the alliance also experienced Fang Di Chang's strength.
Inside Chicken Dog Coop, Fang Di Chang's expression was cold and his gaze was sharp.
The situation of the battlefield was reflected in his mind, he shouted: "Release all the ancient desolate beasts, not to kill, but to scatter the enemies."
At the next moment, Chicken Dog Coop let out a dazzling light. Dozens of chicken and ancient desolate beast dogs formed into two groups that rushed ahead.
Wan Hao Guang was furious as he understood Fang clan's plan. He shouted madly: "Don't scatter, whoever is alone may lose their life!"
Fang clan immortals were curled up in their three Immortal Gu Houses, while the alliance Gu Immortals were flying in the sky.
These Gu Immortals were pale, who could use their bodies to block these ancient desolate beasts?
Even if they used killer moves, they would not able to exterminate them instantly.
Once they started fighting and dodging, their already loose formation would immediately break, and Fang clan would succeed.
Right at this time, an alliance Gu Immortal suddenly laughed as his appearance started changing.
"It is time for me to make a move!" He was dressed in a blue robe, his laughter was unpleasant and noisy which left a deep impression on people.
"You are not Tian Feng Mang, you are Tian Da Ji!" The other alliance Gu Immortals exclaimed in surprise and joy.
Tian Da Ji had rank seven cultivation and cultivated enslavement path.
He was not a lineal descendant of Tian clan, he had been a lowly young boy with no cultivation aptitude whose only fate was to become a farmer.
But one time, as he was taking care of a field, he accidentally dug out a Gu Immortal inheritance.
It was this inheritance that completely changed his life.
He cultivated secretly at first, but was discovered soon after, and had no choice but to offer the Gu Immortal inheritance to Tian clan.
The Gu Immortal in charge of the matter at that time, Tian Gang Hui, was an honest person. He did not covet this inheritance, instead protecting Tian Da Ji from then on.
Tian Da Ji inherited this special inheritance that could only enslave chickens but its effect was outstanding.
At the next moment, Tian Da Ji made a move, activating a killer move that actually caused all the ancient desolate beast chickens released by Fang clan to defect.
These ancient desolate beasts immediately attacked the ancient desolate beast dogs behind them.
In an instant, chickens and dogs fought, causing sand to fill the battlefield.
The anti-Fang alliance's crisis was immediately resolved. Wan Xiao, Wan Hao Guang, Sun Wang, and the rest made their moves.
Wind path, light path, fire path, and other paths' killer moves erupted in succession, forming three waves of attacks that charged towards Chicken Dog Coop.
Fang clan had schemes, Wan clan also had prepared some.
Tian Da Ji's identity was a secret that was exposed only now. This was the result of Wan clan specially discussing it with Tian clan.
Although the alliance was delayed by Fang clan, Wan clan did not waste the time. While the
contract discussions were being talked, Wan clan actively made Gu Immortals train in group combat.
The alliance Gu Immortals did not have much coordination with each other, it was no issue to fight individual fights, but group battle was their greatest weakness.
After all, dao marks of different paths conflicted with each other.
To target this weakness, under Heavenly Court's unending supply of immortal essence stones, the alliance immortals cultivated painstakingly, forming an initial stage of group combat coordination.
"Fang Hua Sheng." Fang Di Chang retreated with Chicken Dog Coop while shouting for reinforcement.
Although the ancient desolate beast chickens revolted, Chicken Dog Coop could still control ancient desolate beast dogs. This Immortal Gu House was important, if it was attacked and lost a crucial Immortal Gu, it would be really bad.
If the ancient desolate beast dogs stop listening to commands, they would be defeated quickly.
Fang Hua Sheng was controlling Fallen Flower Hall, he immediately rushed over after getting the message.
Immortal killer move — Mirror Flower!
The surface of Fallen Flower Hall immediately let out a wave of light.
The light was pure white, it first exited violently before being restrained suddenly, turning into a huge flower bud on the roof of the hall.
The flower bud quickly bloomed, the petals were like mirrors, reflecting light.
As it bloomed, the flower petals collided with one another, emitting a crisp sound.
After the flower bud bloomed completely, it was even larger than the roof of Fallen Flower Hall, being extremely beautiful.
The mirror flower formed in a blink of an eye, and let out a strong suction force.
Be it Wan Hao Guang, Wan Xiao, or Sun Wang's killer moves, most of them was absorbed by the mirror flower.
But there was still a small number of killer moves left that made Fallen Flower Hall shake endlessly, the mirror flower's petals broke into pieces, and the remaining petals closed again, turning into a flower bud.
"I am returning them to you!" Fang Hua Sheng shouted.
The mirror flower bud bloomed again, releasing the absorbed killer moves back at the enemies.
The flower bud disappeared completely, the released killer moves forced Wan Hao Guang and the rest to retreat again and again. They could only activate their methods to block arduously.
Fang Hua Sheng saw that three immortals were in a miserable state, he knew the battle opportunity had appeared. He was just about to attack them, when suddenly a fire path Immortal Gu House appeared in the enemy formation!
This Immortal Gu House was like a giant wheel, after it took in Dong clan's two Gu Immortals Dong Zhu and Gong Ming, it started rolling.
Dong clan's Immortal Gu House Red River Wheel!
Inside Red River Wheel, Dong Ming shouted in hatred: "Fang clan, you previously used the theft path Immortal Gu House to raid my Dong clan's resource point, destroying my clan's treasure moon oasis. This debt will be paid today!"
With a crushing momentum, Red River Wheel whipped up an intense flame as it collided with Fallen Flower Hall.
Bam.
Fallen Flower Hall shook intensely as it retreated quickly.
"Where are you going?" The Gu Immortals inside Red River Wheel gave chase.
Not long later, Fallen Flower Hall fell into a disadvantage as flames stuck to it.
Red River Wheel could counter the wood path Immortal Gu House Fallen Flower Hall to a certain extent.
"Since there is fire, this will be easy." Inside the alliance army formation, Gong Jiao Che smiled as he used a killer move.
Boom.
At the next moment, the flames on Fallen Flower Hall intensified turning into a huge fire!
"Damn it..." Fang Hua Sheng gritted his teeth as he controlled Fallen Flower Hall to defend, but could not turn the situation around in a short period of time.
The other Fang clan Gu Immortals in Fallen Flower Hall were doing their best to save Fallen Flower Hall's Gu worms.
But Red River Wheel's fire continued to infiltrate the Immortal Gu House, spreading towards the core Immortal Gu!
Fang Gong wanted to to go reinforce with Inquiry Dock.
But another rank seven Immortal Gu House blocked its path firmly.
It was Wan clan's time path Immortal Gu House — Myriad Age Building!
Soon after, Chicken Dog Coop also got attacked by many Gu Immortals.
Fang Di Chang heaved a deep sigh, saying inwardly: 'Wan clan really prepared sufficiently this time.'
Be it the matter of concealing the identity of Tian Da Ji, Red River Wheel that restrained Fallen Flower Hall, or Myriad Age Building that firmly held back Inquiry Dock, it all proved that Wan clan was well prepared.
These three Immortal Gu Houses of Fang clan were not a secret. Since this anti-Fang alliance included over ten super forces, it was not hard to find methods that could restrain Fang clan.
The moment the ancient desolate beast chickens were made to revolt, Fang Di Chang knew the situation was turning bad.
When anti-Fang alliance stabilized themselves and reacted, Fang clan immediately felt suppressed. The advantage of their sudden attack was already gone.
The situation was urgent, but the Fang clan immortals were still not panicked and held ample confidence.
Earth Shuttle — was mobilized!
Fang Chen and Fang An Lei flew out and entered Earth Shuttle.
"It was this Immortal Gu House that destroyed my tall pine oasis' formation base!" Wan Xiao was furious. He immediately changed his target, hurling the long-prepared berserk wind blades towards Earth Shuttle.
Earth Shuttle did not dodge as it endured these berserk wind blades and charged towards the enemy formation.
Wherever it went, the alliance Gu Immortals evaded in fright. Who would dare to use their body
to collide with a rank seven Immortal Gu House?
Wan Xiao's pupils shrunk when he saw this.
Every aspect of Earth Shuttle Immortal Gu House was strengthened. Last time, when it attacked tall pine oasis, its defense was very weak. But it was completely different now.
However, dealing with this earth path Immortal Gu House was also within Wan clan's plans.
Even the matter of it being stronger now did not surpass Wan clan's expectations.
At the crucial moment, Mo Sha Ta stood up and activated a killer move, blocking Earth Shuttle.
A dense layer of sand accumulated on Earth Shuttle, reducing its speed sharply.
Boom.
Earth Shuttle shook, destroying the sand layer. Without the restraint, it directly charged at Mo Sha Ta.
Mo Sha Ta was pale with fright as he turned around and ran.
The alliance's formation began to turn chaotic.
Xiao Ye Hu gritted his teeth as he had no choice but to make a move in advance.
He held Chamber Pot which aimed at Earth Shuttle from afar, letting out a pitch-black lump of light.
"Don't even think of it!" Fang Hua Sheng shouted.
Fallen Flower Hall moved once again.
Immortal killer move — Fleeting Bloom!
The pitch-black light lump was really fast, but it got struck by fleeting bloom, slowing down rapidly.
Earth Shuttle easily evaded it as Xiao Ye Hu glared in anger.
"You still have the time to care about others!" Tuoba Cheng Feng made his move.
He was a famous Gu Immortal in Western Desert's Gu Immortal world, and was extremely proficient in support methods.
This was a wind path support killer move. After it covered Fallen Flower Hall, the huge fire
burned even hotter and covered over half of Fallen Flower Hall.
Fang Hua Sheng's expression turned heavy, he had just gotten rid of Earth Shuttle's obstacle, but it made Fallen Flower Hall's situation even more dangerous.
"Do I reinforce Fallen Flower Hall?" Fang Di Chang scanned the whole battlefield, soon his eyes shrunk when he saw a figure, "No, I need to rescue Inquiry Dock first!"
Since the battle started, Zuo Qiu San Sha had been staying at the back of the alliance army as he prepared his killer move.
At this time, the killer move's aura was already close to complete.
Fang clan possessed roof tile breaker killer move that could restrain Immortal Gu Houses. Zuo Qiu also had a similar killer move, it was called state of disunity which was created by Zuo Qiu San Sha!
-x-X-x-
State of disunity killer move was similar to roof tile breaker; they both countered Immortal Gu Houses.
No doubt, this was a killer weapon of the anti-Fang alliance to deal with Fang clan!
Fang clan's proficiency lied in Immortal Gu Houses.
Zuo Qiu San Sha who possessed state of disunity was the key person to suppress Fang clan.
"We can't let him activate it!" Fang Di Chang understood Zuo Qiu San Sha's threat, immediately commanding, "Fang Zhi and Fang Dong Xi, go!"
Two Fang clan rank seven Gu Immortals flew out of Chicken Dog Coop, they quickly took out an
Immortal Gu House.
This Immortal Gu House had two floors, it was a short building.
As the Immortal Gu House was activated, the roof released dense smoke.
Rank seven Immortal Gu House — Smoke Wave Building!
"A completely new Immortal Gu House appeared!"
"Fang clan sold so many resource points, as expected, they gathered enough resources from Heaven Refining Demon Venerable to construct another Immortal Gu House."
The alliance immortals were shaken.
According the previous discussion, Shi Kang went forward. He anxiously approached Smoke Wave Building and started probing it.
After all, he was most proficient in defense.
Smoke Wave Building was not fast, but the dense smoke on the roof of the building kept on gushing out. Soon, it filled most of the battlefield, attempting to engulf Zuo Qiu San Sha.
The alliance immortals did not understand the power of the smoke, so they retreated carefully.
Immortal killer move — Vortex Sweep!
Qin Lang activated his proudest method; immediately, most of the smoke dissipated, and the
surroundings became clear again.
"Hmph!" Fang Di Chang left a sentence while personally moving out, "Fang Leng, Fang Yun, look after Chicken Dog Coop."
Fang Di Chang flew out, he took out an Immortal Gu House before he entered it.
"Another rank seven Immortal Gu House!"
The anti-Fang alliance was in an uproar.
Fang clan had three new Immortal Gu Houses, moreover they were all at rank seven!
How many things did Heaven Refining Demon Venerable give Fang clan!
The third Immortal Gu House was Thought Expelling Pavilion. It was a wisdom path Immortal Gu House that complemented Fang Di Chang.
Fang Di Chang activated the Immortal Gu House's method and targeted Zuo Qiu San Sha.
Zuo Qiu San Sha had already succeeded in approaching closer, but his thoughts suddenly flew out of his mind and circled around his body!
The Gu worms in his immortal aperture immediately fell into chaos, Zuo Qiu San Sha's killer move failed to activate. With a cough, he spat out blood and suffered heavy injuries from the backlash.
Tuoba Cheng Feng and Gong Jiao Che saw the situation turning for the worse, they quickly gave up on encircling Fallen Flower Hall; the former went to save Zuo Qiu San Sha, and the latter attacked Thought Expelling Pavilion from afar.
Thought Expelling Pavilion endured Gong Jiao Che's fire path killer move and activated its method again.
Tang Lan Ke gasped as she fell down from the sky.
"I can't stop it!" Shi Kang was covered in black smoke, he retreated with a shout.
The dense black smoke emitted by Smoke Wave Building made it extremely difficult for him to defend, this was already his limit.
Right at this time, a yellow meteor streaked across the battlefield and collided with Shi Kang.
It was Earth Shuttle!
Shi Kang's pupils shrunk as the intense threat of death assaulted his body and mind.
Boom.
At the crucial moment, Lin Shu Tong flew over and sacrificed himself to collide into Earth Shuttle
from the side, forcefully changing its route.
Shi Kang almost brushed past Earth Shuttle, surviving luckily.
His battle intent was mostly gone as he retreated rapidly.
"The enemies are in chaos." Fang Di Chang saw this, and activated Thought Expelling Pavilion, targeting Tian Da Ji.
Tian Da Ji was startled and immediately released ancient desolate chickens from his immortal aperture to protect him.
But who could have imagined that Fang Di Chang was only bluffing, immediately targeting its attack towards Sun Wang.
Sun clan Gu Immortals were most conservative. The moment Thought Expelling Pavilion showed such movement, Sun Wang immediately ran away with an astonishing speed.
Wan clan Gu Immortals looked extremely unsightly.
Fang Di Chang was indeed worthy of being a wisdom path Gu Immortal, he was familiar with people's nature. He only used Thought Expelling Pavilion a few times and made use of its threat to gain such battle accomplishments!
"First supreme elder, this is the time for our Fang clan to claim victory!" Fang Di Chang's voice was slightly excited.
Inside Inquiry Dock, Fang Gong was already impatient from waiting.
When he heard Fang Di Chang's call, he laughed heartily. He gave the control of Inquiry Dock to other Fang clan Gu Immortals and flew out like a meteor.
Fang Gong collided with Myriad Age Building, the whole building almost collapsed.
Immortal killer move — Roof Tile Breaker!
Fang Gong's palm shadows flew, raising storm-like attacks.
Myriad Age Building's defensive killer moves also could not block roof tile breaker, it started to crumble rapidly.
"Good!" Xiao Ye Hu's eyes lit up, he finally saw an enemy Gu Immortal leaving the protection of
their Immortal Gu House, this was the time for Chamber Pot to shine.
But just as he was about to make a move, Earth Shuttle came crashing over.
Xiao Ye Hu cursed, he could only retreat to protect himself.
Myriad Age Building was forced to activate its strongest defensive method which rapidly extracted Fang Gong's lifespan.
Fang Gong sneered, decisively retreating.
He had achieved his target by forcing out this method of Myriad Age Building.
Once this method of Myriad Age Building activated, it could only stop after at least two hours.
The surrounding alliance Gu Immortals retreated away from Myriad Age Building.
The anti-Fang alliance's formation was already in complete disorder.
Fang Gong left Myriad Age Building and charged towards Red River Wheel.
"Didn't you want revenge? Then come at me!" Fang Gong shouted.
Roof tile breaker killer move activated once again, Red River Wheel retreated rapidly while burning flames closed in on Fang Gong.
Fang Gong did not dodge, sticking to Red River Wheel amidst the burning flames.
Dong Ming screamed: "Fang Gong, you've gone too far!"
He activated Red River Wheel and collided with Fang Gong.
Fang Gong's eyes shone, he did not evade, instead charging right towards Red River Wheel.
The two collided as Red River Wheel was thrown backwards, Fang Gong used the chance to give chase.
Dong Ming's expression was deathly pale: "Is this the strength of a rank eight strength path Gu Immortal?!"
Dong Zhu kept silent as he let out molten flame birds.
Fang Gong kicked and punched, smashing the molten flame birds to a pulp.
In just ten or so breaths of time, Red River Wheel was beaten back again and again, its surface crumbled and looked like it was in a miserable state.
"Fang Gong, don't be cocky." With the help of other allies, Xiao Ye Hu finally had a chance to attack.
Wan clan had paid a high price to request his assistance.
Why?
It was to deal with Fang Gong!
Immortal Gu House Chamber Pot was pocket-sized, it could not carry people like normal Immortal Gu Houses, it would also suffer huge damage if it was used to rampage around.
Its specialty was in dealing with Gu Immortals.
Even Fang Gong would be threatened!
"Fang Gong, go die!!" Xiao Ye Hu finally attacked, a pitch-black light lump shot at Fang Gong.
"Fang Gong, you are still not retreating?!" Dong Ming and Dong Zhu shouted together. They were extremely panicked because Red River Wheel was on the verge of destruction.
Fang Gong instead laughed loudly, not even looking at the pitch-black light lump: "This is the battle of Fang clan against the world! How can I, Fang Gong, not stake my life?"
Boom.
Red River Wheel shattered completely!
Dong Ming and Dong Zhu were in absolute horror. They were sent flying in the sky, their surroundings filled with fragments of Red River Wheel and corpses of countless Gu worms.
They looked at Fang Gong, he seemed like a fearless and invincible heavenly deity!
But at the next moment, the pitch-black light lump struck Fang Gong.
"Success!" Xiao Ye Hu shouted in joy.
Wan clan Gu Immortals were exulted.
Whoosh!
Fang Gong moved his arms, directly crushing the pitch-black light lump.
The anti-Fang alliance immortals were shaken and scared, many even subconsciously opened their mouths wide at this inconceivable sight.
"How, how can this be?!" Xiao Ye Hu could not believe it as he stared with wide eyes.
"Your turn next!" Fang Gong looked at Xiao Ye Hu as he said calmly.
At this moment, Xiao Ye Hu's heart contracted.
He was frightened by Fang Gong's ferocious momentum, only one thought remained in his mind
— escape!
"Where are you trying to go?!" Fang Gong flew towards Xiao Ye Hu like a meteor, he broke the sonic barrier and left a grand shock wave behind him.
"Save me! My Xiao clan will definitely reward you well!" Xiao Ye Hu ran madly.
Gong Jiao Che, Tang Lan Ke, Qin Lang, Tian Da Ji, and the rest moved to block Fang Gong.
Fang Gong did not dodge but endured all kinds of killer moves forcibly. Like a fierce tiger or a rampaging dragon, he closed in on Xiao Ye Hu.
His aura surged like a rising tiger over ten thousand li!
Xiao Ye Hu could not shake off Fang Gong, he watched in despair as Fang Gong neared him.
"Let this battle be the start of my Fang clan's rise!" Fang Gong shouted inwardly, his battle intent burned like inferno.
At the edge of the battlefield, high in the sky.
Wan Zi Hong and Zhou Xiong Xin were watching the battle quietly. The former was somewhat restless when she saw this scene.
"Friends from Heavenly Court, it will be best if you watch quietly." Lu Wei Yin appeared and said
with a smile.
Wan Zi Hong and Zhou Xiong Xin's expressions changed as they watched with complete vigilance.
At the same time.
Northern Plains.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable activated his luck path investigative method.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable did this every once in a while.
He first inspected Heavenly Court.
In his view, Fang Yuan had little immortal essence and would have refined the least number of dao marks. Heavenly Court's Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was close behind him, she was the main target to be vigilant against.
Heavenly Court's luck had somewhat increased.
"Looks like Star Constellation Immortal Venerable has already refined most of the Heavenly Court dao marks. It will be increasingly difficult to inspect her later on."
Afterwards, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable inspected Eastern Sea.
He saw that Fang Yuan's luck was low, it had slightly strengthened than before, but it was of no significance.
A portion of Fang Yuan and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's luck had split from the main
portion and moved towards Western Desert.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable gazed towards Western Desert and saw a battlefield. The luck of countless people tangled with each other, forming a blood-red color that was mixed with black.
"Looks like Western Desert's anti-Fang battle has already started." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable nodded.
Fang clan's matter had grown quite big, all five regions paid attention to it. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable naturally knew of the details.
He inspected carefully and understood: "Fang clan seems to be holding an advantage, but there is a huge variable. Wan clan is hiding something... I see, so Heavenly Court helped Wan clan like this."
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable laughed coldly as he saw through the secret.
From the start, he did not interfere in Western Desert's anti-Fang battle.
"Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Heaven Refining Demon Venerable do not cultivate luck path, they don't know that they are expending their luck in this contest. This is already turning into their weakness!"
"If I am currently in my peak state during my previous life, I can have gain some advantages
with my luck path methods."
"What a pity, what a pity..."
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had to use the remaining immortal essence to refine luck path dao marks.
Besides this, although he had many rank eight luck path Immortal Gu, he did not have a rank nine luck path Immortal Gu.
-x-X-x-
Rank nine existences, be they Gu Immortals or Immortal Gu, were envied by the heavens, they
could not live forever.
So, in all of humanity's history, there were only eleven venerables, and they all were restricted
by their lifespan.
There were also very few rank nine Immortal Gu that existed in the world.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable finally took a glance at his luck.
He could not help but frown.
The situation was not good.
It was worse than before.
But from the information he had, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable still could not estimate where
this bad luck came from.
Naturally, he was most suspicious of Heavenly Court.
"What is that old woman, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, playing at?"
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was not anxious.
He had methods to change his luck.
But there was still that flaw.
He was tight on immortal essence and they needed to be used to refine dao marks. He did not
have a rank nine luck path Immortal Gu, using rank eight luck path Immortal Gu to change his
rank nine luck was very difficult and would expend a lot more immortal essence.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable soon stopped activating his investigative method.
The longer the contest of three venerables prolonged, the bigger the importance of information.
But Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's inspection duration kept on decreasing.
He needed to consider his immortal essence expenditure, and try to save as much immortal
essence as possible.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable fell into deep thought: "What is the source of my bad luck?"
"Heavenly Court is the biggest suspect, but I cannot relax my guard against Fang Yuan too! He
has the sovereign immortal body and can cultivate all paths, his potential is absolutely terrifying.
Besides this, he has another advantage. That is refinement path!"
"Refinement path might not be proficient in fighting, but its development potential far surpasses
luck path and blood path. Thus, refinement path has far more potential rank nine Gu than luck
path, blood path, as well as wisdom path and star path."
Each path had strengths and weaknesses.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable kept luck path a secret and did not spread it, so its development
was limited. Other Gu Immortals would find it difficult to defend against Giant Sun Immortal
Venerable's luck path methods, but there were few luck path Immortal Gu that could reach rank
nine.
On the contrary, refinement path was probably the most widely developed path. Simply because
refining Gu was an inevitable part of Gu cultivation.
Even Gu cultivators who cultivated other paths would have refined Gu to some extent.
Thus, as refinement path grew, more refinement path Gu cultivators emerged which meant
more refinement path dao marks. Refinement path resources were unceasing, and there were
all kinds of refinement path Immortal Gu. Moreover, refinement path Immortal Gu that could
advance to rank nine became even more numerous.
"Fortunately, Fang Yuan is lacking immortal essence currently, he is still far from refining a rank
nine refinement path Immortal Gu."
"Maybe, my bad luck is not because of Fang Yuan or Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, but
the other venerables. If other venerables revived, who would be the most problematic for me?"
Fang Yuan had Cooking Luck Pot as well as obscured heavenly secret, although Giant Sun
Immortal Venerable had the ability to inspect him, he did not get proper results.
"If I gain a breakthrough in the blood path Immortal Gu transaction, this luck should change to
good."
Fang Yuan was not the only one who obstructed Giant Sun Immortal Venerable in terms of
blood path Immortal Gu, Heavenly Court had already been doing so since Blood Sea Ancestor's
time.
Demon Judgment Board's core Immortal Gu Blood Relation, and Red Heart Traveler's heart
blood Immortal Gu were things that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable thirsted for.
Currently, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu was still in a long negotiation with Fang Yuan.
Longevity Heaven was secretly negotiating with Heavenly Court as well for blood path Immortal
Gu, but the progress was almost zero.
Back in Western Desert.
Fang Gong got close to Xiao Ye Hu and punched.
Under his fear, Xiao Ye Hu moved Immortal Gu House Chamber Pot in front to block.
A loud explosion rang as Chamber Pot was destroyed.
The punch continued forward and struck Xiao Ye Hu's chest.
Xiao Ye Hu flew away like a meteor. His chest had sunk in, large amounts of blood mixed with
internal organs gushed out of his mouth, leaving a trail of blood.
One punch destroyed Chamber Pot and caused Xiao Ye Hu to be on the verge of death.
"Let's retreat!"
"We can't fight anymore."
The anti-Fang alliance army was shaking with fear, their fighting spirit was almost depleted.
Fang Gong's strength far surpassed their expectations, he was actually not restricted by
Chamber Pot.
This first supreme elder of Fang clan was truly the nemesis of Immortal Gu Houses. Ever since
Fang clan attacked Wan clan's tall pine oasis until now, he had already destroyed Winding Light
Platform, Red River Wheel, and Xiao clan's Chamber Pot.
These three Immortal Gu Houses were all at rank seven, they could match rank eight battle
strength!
"There is one more left!" Fang Gong turned around slightly, ignoring the rank seven Gu
Immortals as he glared at Myriad Age Building.
Only Myriad Age Building was left among the anti-Fang alliance army's Immortal Gu Houses.
Myriad Age Building was a rank seven Immortal Gu House, it could match rank eight. It was the
final pillar of the anti-Fang alliance army, once it fell, Fang clan would obtain complete victory.
This was the most crucial point.
The remaining Gu Immortals might be rank seven elites with their own specialties, but without
Myriad Age Building to stabilize their position, these people would be like a disorderly mob.
"Fang clan has six Immortal Gu Houses, and they are all at rank seven. Our side only has
Myriad Age Building left."
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Heavenly Court is still not making a move? Sigh, they are really incompetent. Look at how
much Heaven Refining Demon Venerable supported Fang clan, a total of three Immortal Gu
Houses! What did Heavenly Court provide?"
Fang Di Chang displayed a wisdom path Gu Immortal's strategic ability. At this delicate juncture,
he ordered Fang clan to stop chasing those rank seven Gu Immortals, instead controlling
Immortal Gu Houses to surround Myriad Age Building.
Seeing that Fang clan did not give chase, besides the Wan clan Gu Immortals, everyone else in
the alliance retreated madly.
Wan Xiao and Wan Hao Guang's expressions were ashen as they retreated into Myriad Age
Building.
Fang clan's six Immortal Gu Houses encircled Myriad Age Building, Fang clan's expression was
leisurely as he flew towards Myriad Age Building.
"Surrender, friends of Wan clan. I guarantee in the name of Fang clan that as long as you
surrender and cede a portion of your territories, my Fang clan will not ask for your Immortal Gu,
or kill any of you." Fang Gong said.
Their conditions were actually so lax.
"We won!!" Fang Leng and Fang Yun were already starting to cheer in joy.
The Fang clan immortals did not object to Fang Gong's surrender terms.
Fang clan had already discussed this, if this kind of situation happened, they would persuade
Wan clan to surrender.
If Wan clan surrendered, it would be extremely beneficial to Fang clan.
Once Wan clan admitted their defeat, Fang clan could righteously occupy a portion of Wan
clan's territories.
Wan clan would no longer have a righteous cause to rally the other super forces to organize
another anti-Fang alliance.
Naturally, Wan clan's headquarters and some important resource points would be given back to
Wan clan.
But for Fang clan, the overall gains were absolutely much larger than losses.
"Lord Lu Wei Yin, looks like Fang clan has won."
"Naturally. Just look at who is supporting them!"
Two rockman Gu Immortals were standing beside Lu Wei Yin, showing a prideful smile at this
sight.
But Lu Wei Yin was frowning as he sensed something amiss.
"These two Heavenly Court Gu Immortals still have such a relaxed expression, looks like things
are not so simple!"
Heavenly Court's Zhou Xiong Xin and Wan Zi Hong had an indifferent expression with an
anticipating gaze.
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from Myriad Age Building: "Fang clan's descendants are
really amazing, your strategy is also comprehensive, but is my Wan clan so easily bullied?"
Fang clan's immortals were bewildered.
At this crucial moment, this strange female voice actually spoke as Wan clan's representative,
who was she?
Did Heavenly Court interfere?
But Fang clan knew the information about Wan Zi Hong, and this was not her voice.
"Fairy, may I ask for your name? This is a fight between Fang clan and Wan clan." Fang Gong
frowned, asking inquisitively.
"Hahaha!" The mysteriously female immortal laughed loudly. Her voice was hoarse and
unpleasant, but it was filled with complete confidence.
Following the laughter, a vast rank eight aura spread out.
"As wind, dust, and flowers scatter,
People and eras change beyond recognition.
As the frigid bells of time shatter,
None can dispel the sorrow of myriad ages!"
As the recital ended, heaven and earth turned dark.
Cold mournful wind and bleak clouds filled the sky.
Inside several li of radius, all living beings including Gu Immortals of both sides felt an intense
sorrow attacking their minds.
Sorrow, sorrow, and more sorrow!
Dejection, disappointment, depression, worry... all kinds of negative emotions made the people
shed tears, their hearts felt stifled and suffocated.
Fang clan's six Immortal Gu Houses surrounding Myriad Age Building became unsteady as they
started shaking, almost falling down.
Fang Di Chang, who was inside Thought Expelling Pavilion, was half-kneeling. His expression
was distorted as he resisted Wan clan's terrifying killer move with all his strength, blood seeping
out of his mouth and nose!
Fang Gong barely managed to resist, retreating in panic as he exclaimed: "You are Wan Gu
Chou[1. Her name makes up the 'sorrow of myriad ages' in the poem.]?!"
In just a short few moments, more wrinkles appeared on his face, he was growing old rapidly as
close to one hundred years were extracted from his lifespan!
"Retreat...." Fang Di Chang said with much difficulty.
Fang clan's six Immortal Gu Houses retreated in panic.
The alliance immortals who had already retreated to the edge of the battlefield were
dumbfounded at this sight.
"Wan Gu Chou?! Isn't that the strongest peak rank eight female immortal in Wan clan's history?"
"When she was alive, Wan clan almost dominated the whole Western Desert!"
"She lived for ten thousand years, Myriad Age Building was created by her."
"She is actually alive?!"
"Right, this is very likely to be Heavenly Court's move."
"It must be her! Her move, everlasting sorrow, is famous throughout the history, only she who
cultivates both time path and wisdom path can use it. And she is the only one who can amplify
this move to such a terrifying degree through Myriad Age Building!"
"This move already possesses the flair of pseudo venerable level!!"
The immortals were shaken.
Wan Gu Chou stopped the killer move as she said to the alliance Gu Immortals: "Are you still
not making a move?"
The immortals understood at once, they charged over with a battle cry.
Fang clan was struck by everlasting sorrow killer move, the sorrowful and depressive feelings
were hard to get rid of, they could not even use twenty percent of their battle strength and had
to retreat in defeat.
Under Myriad Age Building's lead, the alliance army gave chase.
The immortals first destroyed Smoke Wave Building, then destroyed Thought Expelling Pavilion.
To save Fang Di Chang who was in Thought Expelling Pavilion, Fang Gong and the other
immortals were forced to make a move.
After a deadly battle, Fang Di Chang was rescued, but Fang clan paid a disastrous price for this.
Their most exceptional Immortal Gu House Fallen Flower Hall was destroyed, Fang Dong Xi
and Fang An Lei, these two elite rank sevens, died in the battle.
Finally, Fang clan brought the remaining three damaged Immortal Gu Houses and left the
battlefield.
-x-X-x-
Wang Xiao Er woke up from his sleep.
"Wasn't I imprisoned? Where am I now?" Wang Xiao Er was puzzled, he found that he was in a
vast wasteland.
"Quickly, escape!"
"Escape, escape!"
A large wave of humans suddenly surged out.
Crack!
With a loud sound, lightning struck the ground.
Following that, the earth and mountains shook. Explosions occurred loudly as the ground began
to collapse.
In ten or so breaths of time, the surrounding ten li of area had become a giant crater.
The crater enclosed all the people including Wang Xiao Er.
Wang Xiao Er was dazed as he was sandwiched between the crowd.
The surrounding people were in disorder and panic, Wang Xiao Er also had the same feelings.
He did not know what happened.
Before this, he was captured by Fang Dong Xi in Sand Heap blessed land. Fang Dong Xi soul
searched him and obtained information regarding Hu Land.
During the contest over Sand Heap blessed land, Fang Dong Xi lost his soul cores. Fortunately,
Fang Dong Xi captured Wang Xiao Er and obtained the secret information regarding Hu Land.
Fang Dong Xi used this precious information to make up for his mistake. On the other hand, he
also learned of the peculiarity of Wang Xiao Er's body.
Fang Dong Xi imprisoned Wang Xiao Er in his immortal aperture, and specially constructed an
underground prison. He studied and experimented on Wang Xiao Er's body many times, but still
did not understand what was going on with Wang Xiao Er's body.
"All of you, shut up!" A figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
Wang Xiao Er and others looked up.
"Your ancestor Fang Dong Xi has already died in battle, everything is now all my, Xiao Ye Hu's,
property. You are also my captives! Stay here, I will make sure you live a life worse than death if
you dare to escape!"
Xiao Ye Hu's expression was cold and malevolent.
The chaotic crowd was shivering like a cicada under his threat.
Fang Dong Xi and Fang An Lei died in battle to protect Fang Di Chang. They were both rank
seven Gu Immortals, their immortal apertures landed on the ground and opened its door to
absorb heaven and earth qi, becoming an unowned blessed land.
Xiao Ye Hu took the chance to enter and plunder his battle spoils.
But the plundered resources did not satisfy Xiao Ye Hu.
His loss was extremely severe, his Immortal Gu House Chamber Pot was destroyed by Fang
Gong. Even emptying Fang Dong Xi's immortal aperture only made up for a meager amount of
the losses.
"This won't do, Wan clan must give me an answer!" Xiao Ye Hu's expression was unsightly.
After he stabilized Dong Xi blessed land's situation, he quickly left to look for Wan clan.
At this time, the anti-Fang alliance had already succeeded in regaining Wan clan headquarters
blessed land.
The anti-Fang alliance immortals were resting here for the moment.
Xiao Ye Hu came before a hall, he restrained his unsightly expression and said loudly: "Senior
Wan Gu Chou, junior Xiao Ye Hu is here as Xiao clan's representative. Please meet me, we
need to discuss some matters."
Times had changed.
Wan Gu Chou suddenly revived and defeated Fang clan. Her impressive might shook the whole
of Western Desert's Gu Immortal world.
In front of such an expert, Xiao Ye Hu had to restrain himself.
Soon, Xiao Ye Hu received permission. He entered the hall and saw Wan Gu Chou sitting on
the main seat.
Wan Gu Chou was wearing a white garment, her hair was silvery white, she looked quite old.
Wan Hao Guang was standing to her left, with Wan Xiao on her right.
"Hehehe." She looked at Xiao Ye Hu and laughed, her laughter was hoarse and terrifying:
"Junior from Xiao clan, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you. Take a
seat and wait for a while."
"Okay." Xiao Ye Hu did not dare to refute, he chose a seat to sit.
After a short while, other anti-Fang alliance Gu Immortals were also invited into the hall.
Even Heavenly Court's two Gu Immortals Wan Zi Hong and Zhou Xiong Xin were present.
Wan Gu Chou looked around and said: "Although Fang clan was defeated, they stole many of
my clan's resource points. My Wan clan is unable to pay the price agreed upon with your clans."
"But, this is a huge opportunity for us."
"Fang clan suffered a heavy loss, their strength has fallen sharply. As long as we give chase,
Fang clan will not be able to defend. They have fallen to the demonic path, we must get rid of
them! At that time, we will all get a share of the battle spoils."
The immortals felt a chill as they listened.
This Wan Gu Chou was extremely shameless, directly saying she did not have a way to pay
them, forcing the anti-Fang alliance to continue fighting.
Her methods were also vicious, she wanted to follow up the victory by giving chase and
eradicating Fang clan.
But this was indeed a good opportunity.
The immortals were moved.
Fang clan sold a large number of Wan clan's resource points, but sold very few of their own
resource points. Their foundation was still there.
Now was the perfect time to beat them down.
'Wan clan is sinister, they deliberately concealed Wan Gu Chou and kept us in dark.'
'Wan Gu Chou kept on hiding, she only made a move when we crumbled. And with just one
move, she defeated Fang clan, creating the current situation which is the most favorable to Wan
clan!'
'On the surface, Wan clan transacted the most with Xiao clan; in reality, their biggest
collaborator is Heavenly Court!'
None of the immortals here were stupid, they had already realized the situation.
If Wan Gu Chou had made a move earlier, even if the anti-Fang alliance defeated Fang clan,
most of the battle merits would belong to the alliance Gu Immortals.
But Wan Gu Chou made a move only at the final juncture, immediately revitalizing Wan clan's
prestige. The alliance immortals did not have the qualification to talk of their merits or
shamelessly ask for payment.
"We need to eradicate evil completely. Fang clan broke the rules, what rights does such a
demonic super clan have to continue existing in Western Desert's Gu Immortal world?"
"I agree with Senior Wan Gu Chou's plan."
"But we should discuss how we distribute the spoils."
The immortals had participated in the previous large battle, they all suffered losses; some
needed to urgently make up for it, like Xiao Ye Hu. Some thought since they had to undergo
danger, they might as well reap benefits.
Seeing the Gu Immortals expressing their agreement, Wan Gu Chou looked at the two
Heavenly Court Gu Immortals: "Heavenly Court has been the leader of humanity since ancient
times, the banner of the righteous path. We will need your help in this battle."
Wan Gu Chou was deeply aware: Compared to Western Desert's Gu Immortals, Heavenly
Court's financial support was much more important.
Without Heavenly Court's support, Wan clan had no way to attack Fang clan.
Wan clan would have to pay a lot to collaborate with Heavenly Court, but the gains were also
equally great.
Wan Gu Chou herself was revived by Heavenly Court.
Right now, a lot of her rank eight time path Immortal Gu were lent by Heavenly Court.
Even her everlasting sorrow killer move was personally modified by Star Constellation Immortal
Venerable!
Zhou Xiong Xin and Wan Zi Hong glanced at each other, all the development so far did not
exceed Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's calculations.
This was also the moment that these two Heavenly Court immortals were waiting for.
At the next moment, Zhou Xiong Xin stood up: "Friends of Western Desert, it is my Heavenly
Court duty to eliminate the demonic path, we are very happy to support you."
"Right now, Fang clan's calamity is before them. Why did they have such guts to attack the
alliance? The true root issue is not Fang clan but Eastern Sea's Heaven Refining Demon
Venerable!"
"Heavenly Court is willing to continue to support you, but our condition is that you are not
allowed to join the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance!"
The hall fell into silence as Gu Immortals looked at each other.
Wan Gu Chou broke the silence: "My Wan clan agrees!"
Wan clan had already become Heavenly Court's supporter through the anti-Fang battle.
Wan Gu Chou spoke: "Friend Xiao Ye Hu, what do you think?"
Xiao Ye Hu's expression was quite unsightly. Wan Gu Chou intentionally picked his name and
forced him into a corner. He had no choice but to state his position.
He snorted coldly: "I, Xiao Ye Hu, am obviously not willing to associate with the demonic path,
but that is just my individual stance. How can I casually represent my Xiao clan in agreeing to
this? I have to ask for guidance from my Xiao clan's first supreme elder!"
It was a delaying tactic.
But Zhou Xiong Xin had already expected it: "Then, Xiao Ye Hu, please contact your clan's
leading Gu Immortals right now. I believe that the difference between righteous and demonic is
deeply rooted in people's hearts. Xiao clan is one of the role models of Western Desert's
righteous path, you will not make a mistake in this major matter."
Wan Gu Chou immediately nodded, echoing Heavenly Court immortals: "Let's do it like this,
friends, please ask for guidance from your clan's leaders, and we will then discuss the matter of
the distribution of spoils."
She pretended to be tolerant: "If any clan is not willing, we will not criticize them. In this
anti-Fang battle, you do not have any merits but you worked hard. If you don't want to continue
in anti-Fang alliance, my Wan clan will bid you farewell and won't make things difficult for you."
The immortals cursed inwardly.
They had not gotten any payment, or maybe only a small portion of it.
If they did not agree to Heavenly Court's condition, Wan Gu Chou was going to drive them away
from the anti-Fang alliance.
Only if they were in anti-Fang alliance could they get their payment as well as the battle spoils in
the upcoming battle against Fang clan.
A while later.
The Gu Immortals finished asking for instructions. No one left.
Under the pressure of righteousness, Western Desert's super clans could not risk going against
the public opinion and leave the alliance.
Moreover, if they left the alliance at this point, they could not get any benefits.
Fang clan was like a piece of fat meat that lured these colossal vultures.
"Good, friends, you have not let me down!" Wan Gu Chou stood up and said with a smile.
Right now, a new opportunity lied before her.
She was now the alliance leader of the anti-Fang alliance. As long as she led the alliance and
defeated Fang clan, her reputation would rise to the peak of Western Desert's Gu Immortal
world.
At that time, she would be like Wu Yong, becoming the publicly recognized leader of the
Western Desert Gu Immortal world.
Zhou Xiong Xin and Wan Zi Hong were smiling.
This was all within Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's calculations.
It was very advantageous for Heavenly Court to help Wan Gu Chou become the leader of
Western Desert.
"Fang Yuan is number one in Gu refinement, but how can he be Star Constellation Immortal
Venerable's match in terms of methods?" Zhou Xiong Xin laughed inwardly.
The very day, Wan Gu Chou announced the establishment of new anti-Fang alliance.
With the revival of this strongest expert of Wan clan, the situation of the whole Western Desert
Gu Immortal world changed suddenly.
Almost all the Gu Immortals of the five regions were paying close attention to it.
"This contest ended in Heavenly Court's victory."
"Fang clan is in danger!"
"I did not expect Heavenly Court to be able to revive other Gu Immortals and not just their own
Heavenly Court members."
"The big picture is still in under the control of the venerables."
"If Fang Yuan were to make a move, this Wan Gu Chou will only be a minor joke!"
"Hmph, Fang Yuan can make a move, but can't Star Constellation Immortal Venerable do the
same?"
"Haha, it's best if the two venerables fight, then Ancestor Giant Sun can reap the benefits of their conflict."
-x-X-x-
Back in Western Desert.
Myriad ore desert.
Shi Zhong looked at the message from Shi clan with an indifferent expression.
"Fang clan lost. Looks like Shi Kang has another chance now."
"However, Fang clan only lost two rank seven Gu Immortals and three Immortal Gu Houses,
they still have some battle strength left."
Shi Zhong was a person who was ostracized by Shi clan, while Shi Kang was a rising star who
was nurtured by the clan.
Shi Zhong flattered Shi Kang on the surface, but was envious and hated him inwardly.
"Regardless of the battle results, it has nothing to do with me."
"I still need to rely on myself."
Shi Zhong gritted his teeth as he thought of how his recent attempt at refining wealth Immortal
Gu failed again.
The thought of asking Fang Yuan to help refine Gu flashed in his mind.
Shi Zhong gritted his teeth as he made a decision.
"Looks like I must sell some wealth mortal Gu." Shi Zhong had not received any support, and
had spent almost all his assets in his attempts to refine wealth Immortal Gu.
He was already dirt-poor right now. He had to sell some stuff to exchange for immortal materials
for another attempt at Gu refinement.
The things he could sell were only wealth mortal Gu.
Although he had failed in his refinement repeatedly, he also had some gains.
He could not refine wealth Immortal Gu, but he had refined wealth mortal Gu.
Connecting to treasure yellow heaven, Shi Zhong hesitated for a long while before choosing to
put a dozen or so wealth mortal Gu in treasure yellow heaven.
Wealth mortal Gu gathered into a lump and formed a pillar of treasure light.
There was an abundant amount of treasure light, but these were clearly mortal Gu. Such an
abnormality attracted the attention of other Gu Immortals.
"What Gu is this, how can it form such a treasure light?" Nu Er Tu asked.
It had been more than a year since he advanced to a rank six Gu Immortal. Although it was due
to the help of Nu Er tribe, he was still a newbie rank six Gu Immortal.
Whenever he had time, he would connect to treasure yellow heaven and explore with his divine
sense to increase his knowledge.
Nu Er Tu was the great-grandson of Gu Immortal Nu Er Chi, he had also participated in the final
Imperial Court contest.
He was proficient in enslaving leopards and had been recognized as one of the five beast kings
by Northern Plains' Gu Masters, along with Fang Yuan's disguise of Chang Shan Yin.
"This is wealth Gu." Shi Zhong replied.
Nu Er Tu was stunned, and asked with even more curiosity: "Wealth Gu? Isn't this the legendary
Gu recorded in <
Shi Zhong snorted coldly: "I painstakingly researched and created its mortal Gu recipe. These
rank five mortal Gu can turn into any rank five Gu material."
Nu Er Tu's mind shook, asking: "Any rank five Gu material? Can it be used multiple times?"
Shi Zhong's voice was softer now: "These are one-time consumable Gu."
If not for this, he would not have taken them out to sell.
Shi Zhong had been trying to refine immortal level wealth Gu. If he sold many wealth mortal Gu,
there was the risk of someone deducing its Immortal Gu recipe.
At that time, it would be the same as Shi Zhong creating his own rivals.
If he had an alternative, Shi Zhong would not sell these wealth Gu. Moreover, he was only
selling a dozen of these mortal Gu.
Nu Er Tu thought: "These wealth Gu can only turn into any rank five Gu material, they are not
practical. As a Gu Immortal, which rank five Gu material can't we get? But this involves the
legendary wealth Gu, it is not a bad idea to buy some for research or give to others."
Nu Er Tu asked for the price, but soon, his divine sense fluctuated intensely: "You are asking for
such a high price for a mortal Gu? Are you insane?"
Shi Zhong said: "At first glance, using a mortal Gu to exchange for immortal materials is indeed
a fantasy. But just think of it, as long as you have these mortal Gu, you have the chance to
deduce its Immortal Gu recipe."
"Just think about it, how high of a value does wealth Immortal Gu have!"
"I will be honest, these mortal Gu are one of a kind in this world, and it is likely that only these
many are left."
"I also obtained these from a fortuitous encounter."
"Unfortunately, I have no proficiency in Gu refinement. If not for me being lacking on funds, I
would not be selling them."
"How much do you want? If you buy three, I can give you a discount."
Shi Zhong had a glib tongue, Nu Er Tu fell into hesitation.
Shi Zhong's words were reasonable.
But was it worth it to use a large amount of immortal materials to exchange for a hope of
deducing an Immortal Gu recipe?
Nu Er Tu was not stupid, his thoughts changed as he said: "It is not an issue to buy two or three
wealth mortal Gu. But I will like to know something, where did you obtain these?"
Shi Zhong was immediately vigilant: "Your question is somewhat going overboard. I don't want
to get into any trouble. Moreover, if I really did what you want and gave you the information, how
can you confirm if it is real?"
"That is true." Nu Er Tu hesitated once again.
Right at this time, another divine sense said excitedly: "Wealth Gu are actually here! I will buy
them, I will buy all of the stock that you have."
Shi Zhong responded: "Friend, please be calm and listen to my price."
The mysterious Gu Immortal stopped for a while after hearing the price, before nodding: "Alright,
I want all of them!"
Shi Zhong was dazed, while Nu Er Tu was vigilant.
Shi Zhong thought, and said: "It is not that I don't want to sell them all to you, but you came
slightly late. This friend here came first and our deal is almost done."
Shi Zhong did not want sell all the wealth Gu to one person. If he did that, there would be too
many clues, and the possibility of deducing an Immortal Gu recipe would be very high.
This mysterious Gu Immortal's attitude made Shi Zong feel that something was strange.
Just in case, he hoped to sell some to Nu Er Tu.
But Nu Er Tu backed out.
"This mysterious Gu Immortal appeared just as I was hesitating. Is this a scheme to urge me to
buy some wealth Gu?"
Nu Er Tu had heard of such scams.
In the end, he gave up the notion of buying any.
Shi Zhong hesitated for a while, he had no choice but to sell all the wealth Gu to the mysterious
Gu Immortal.
After gathering enough immortal materials, he left treasure yellow heaven to prepare for Gu
refinement once again.
"He really sold them?" Nu Er Tu felt somewhat disappointed.
And that mysterious Gu Immortal left treasure yellow heaven after obtaining wealth Gu.
He was Spirit Butterfly Valley's Gu Immortal Xiao Bai Hong.
Xiao Bai Hong handed these wealth Gu to rank five Gu Master Xiao Qi Xing who was standing
beside him.
Xiao Qi Xing was Xiao Bai Hong's great-grandson, one of the ten children of human path who
obtained huge support from Heavenly Court.
Xiao Bai Hong said: "Qi Xing, are these wealth Gu really helpful to you?"
Xiao Qi Xing said: "Great grandfather, I cultivate human path and have recently obtained a Gu
Immortal true inheritance by chance. This true inheritance is incomplete, but it has ten or so
Immortal Gu recipes of justice Gu. The most exceptional Immortal Gu recipe among them uses
wealth Immortal Gu as the supplementary material to refine justice Immortal Gu."
"Right now, although we don't have wealth Immortal Gu, we can modify that Immortal Gu recipe
based on these mortal Gu."
"Once we refine justice Immortal Gu, I can use it as my vital Gu and officially become a human
path Gu Immortal!"
All of the ten children of human path were aware of the advantages of this path, thus they all
planned to become human path Gu Immortals.
But to do that, they needed a human path Gu worm as their vital Gu.
Xiao Qi Xing had great ambitions, he wanted to obtain rank six justice Immortal Gu and make it
his vital Gu.
If his immortal ascension went smoothly, under the ideal conditions, his vital Gu would also
advance to become rank seven!
Like that, rank six Xiao Qi Xing would have a rank seven vital Immortal Gu.
"Justice Gu is no doubt a human path Gu worm."
"Using it together with soldier Gu, sergeant Gu, lieutenant Gu, and so on, I can use the human
path killer move, commander of justice!"
"This move may become my trump card."
Xiao Qi Xing excitedly explained his cultivation plan.
Xiao Bai Hong laughed loudly, stroking Xiao Qi Xing's head: "Good, good, good, since you have
such lofty ambitions, I will use all our resources to lend you a hand!"
Southern Border, Tie clan.
"Good, good, good, righteousness exists in people's hearts after all!" Tie Qu Zhong laughed
heartily.
"Lord Qu Zhong, what could make you so happy?" A female voice resounded.
Tie Qu Zhong looked to the side and saw a heroic looking rank five female Gu Master, he
smiled: "Ah, Tie Ruo Nan. Look, this is the latest battle report about Western Desert's Fang
clan."
Tie Qu Zhong handed an information path mortal Gu to Tie Ruo Nan.
Tie Ruo Nan looked into the Gu, her expression was slightly moved: "So this happened while
we were in closed cultivation inside Demon Suppression Tower."
Tie Qu Zhong said: "I already felt that Fang clan was a shoddy force, they got involved with
Fang Yuan, they are the shame of Western Desert's righteous path, they don't even have any of
the righteous path's demeanor. Now, it looks like I was right! Fang clan's members are
completely insane to associate with a demon like Fang Yuan. Now, they have been defeated,
this miserable defeat will be Fang Yuan's outcome in the future."
Tie Ruo Nan nodded: "Since ancient times, righteousness has always triumphed over evil. The
demonic path can be rampant for a while, but the strength and hope of the righteous path will
exist in this world forever."
These two had always hated Fang Yuan.
First, Tie clan's behavior had always been to destroy the demonic path.
Second, the two hated Fang Yuan personally.
There was no need to speak about Tie Ruo Nan, the hatred had already incurred back in Qing
Mao Mountain when her father died.
Tie Qu Zhong had once participated in hunting down Fang Yuan, but was captured by the latter
and his edge Immortal Gu was stolen as well. Although he was released in the end, his immortal
aperture was also taken away by Fang Yuan.
Tie Qu Zhong could only restart his cultivation, he was still a Gu Master now.
Tie Ruo Nan continued to analyze: "Heavenly Court is worthy of being the role model of the
righteous path, the leader of humanity. They supported Wan clan by reviving Wan Gu Chou,
they would rather support with Immortal Gu, immortal essence stones and so on, than to directly
interfere in Western Desert's political affairs, this is the noble demeanor of the righteous path."
"Fang clan's threat is not the destruction of Wan clan. Wan clan is only one of the many forces,
there are still a large number of super forces even if it is destroyed. Fang clan's greatest threat
is the fact that they can corrupt people's hearts, making other Gu Immortals and super forces
join the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance. But now, Heavenly Court has given another
option to everyone."
"Heavenly Court has immortal essence stones, they can support with Immortal Gu, and even
revive Gu Immortals. Wan clan must have paid a huge price to obtain such support. This is
Heavenly Court's deep intention."
"Only righteousness with benefits to gain can be promoted and wildly spread to everyone. Such
righteousness is firm and stable. An overly virtuous type of righteousness is instead dubious
and hypocritical, it cannot be widely spread, and will only make righteousness seem weak."
