At once, the situation became very complex.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable broke through the heavenly chasm and chased after them.
Fairy Zi Wei and Ying Wu Xie were trapped in the middle.
Heavenly Court's three immortals, Golden Hooped Great Immortal, Seven Fiendish Primeval
Monarch, and Duke Mei stood in front of the Shadow Sect members, while Feng Jiu Ge was
indeed hiding nearby like what Fairy Zi Wei predicted.
If Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had his sanity, Feng Jiu Ge would not do this, that was too
risky.
Fairy Zi Wei was really only trying her luck earlier.
She could not be certain of Feng Jiu Ge's location, this was only a possibility she deduced.
After all, Feng Jiu Ge did not kill them but used a method on them. This meant that Feng Jiu Ge
wanted to make use of the two.
Fairy Zi Wei was in a desperate situation, she had to use all the methods she could think of, in
that situation, Feng Jiu Ge became her hope.
But Feng Jiu Ge showed no signs of helping.
He squinted as he looked at the two Shadow Sect immortals from afar, he sighed internally: "It is
useless, I can already hear the cries of your destiny, even though it has some turbulence, it is
en-route to the abyss, the outcome has been decided."
During this period when he went missing, he had been cultivating the killer move destiny song,
he made a lot of progress.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's left head growled as soul balls appeared out of nowhere.
The soul balls had tiny tadpole-like tails behind them as they quickly got close to Fairy Zi Wei
and Ying Wu Xie, before exploding intensely.
Fairy Zi Wei and Ying Wu Xie could not resist them, their souls shook and almost shattered on
the spot.
"Attack!" At the other end, Duke Mei was the first to use his killer move.
Golden Hooped Great Immortal and Seven Fiendish Primeval Monarch followed closely after.
"I am going to die!" Ying Wu Xie's expression was ashen.
"How can this be?" At the next moment, Fairy Zi Wei's expression turned to shock.
Because the Heavenly Court immortals' attacks were not aimed at them but Spectral Soul
Demon Venerable instead, they resisted the soul ball method while helping to defend the
Shadow Sect immortals.
Heavenly Court was saving the Shadow Sect immortals?
Even a wisdom path great expert like Fairy Zi Wei was stunned.
"Don't tell me, because Star Constellation Immortal Venerable revived, she is allowing me to
return to Heavenly Court in exchange for betraying master?"
"Or maybe, they want to capture the crucial split soul, Ying Wu Xie, to use a method against
master?"
Methods to create clones were convenient but they also exposed a weakness.
In this world, nothing was perfect.
With benefit came cost.
Clone methods had many demerits, the main thing was that their connection to the main body
could be exploited.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's split soul had a weakness that was exposed long ago.
It was the sharing of attainment level.
It was an advantage and also a disadvantage.
When Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's clone created sovereign immortal fetus Gu, a vast
amount of attainment levels were expended, forming dream realms.
This caused Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's own attainment level to fall as well.
Regardless of the intention of the three Heavenly Court immortals, the Shadow Sect immortals
had survived because of them.
Far away, Feng Jiu Ge shook his head.
Be it the Shadow Sect immortals or Heavenly Court's three immortals, their efforts were all in
vain.
As expected, the number of soul balls continued to increase, they grew to a scale that the five
immortals had trouble defending against.
Be it Fairy Zi Wei or Duke Mei, they were all in desperation.
"Is this the might of a venerable?!"
"Spectral Soul Demon Venerable has lost his senses and even has such heavy injuries..."
"Damn it!"
The Heavenly Court immortals could not save the Shadow Sect immortals, they were implicated
instead and became Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's next targets.
At the next moment, a huge number of soul balls would explode intensely and take the lives of
these five immortals...
At this moment.
Feng Jiu Ge's expression changed.
"Oh?" At this moment, he felt a vast power rampaging into the battlefield.
This was the power of luck path, it was grand and vast!
"Luck path... is the representation of uncertainty."
"This power was initially small, but as the luck path dao marks in the two heavens grew, a huge
variable was created. Who is the source of this?"
Feng Jiu Ge pondered deeply.
The power of luck path was so grand it was on par with a rank nine killer move!
Crack crack.
The power of luck path changed the two heavens, it changed the entire battlefield.
Originally, the two heavens were fusing together, black heaven and white heaven were joining
together piece and piece. The five immortals were in the area of white heaven.
But now, the immemorial black heaven fragment flew towards them from afar.
White heaven had abundant light path dao marks, while black heaven had more dark path dao
marks, because of the conflict of dao marks, as the immemorial black heaven approached,
white heaven's fragment shattered.
A large number of black and white heaven fragments created a huge current.
The current swept like a torrent, bringing Spectral Soul Demon Venerable along with it.
Without Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's control, the soul balls stayed at their spots without
moving or exploding.
"We need to go!" Using this chance, Fairy Zi Wei brought Ying Wu Xie along as they flew into
the immemorial black heaven that was right beside them.
"Wait." The three Heavenly Court immortals quickly chased them.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was swept away by the two heavens' current, but after it
weakened, he was freed again.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was covered in injuries currently, heaven path dao marks were
carved all over his injuries. There were even fragments of the two heavens stabbed into his
body, it was as if he was stabbed by countless mirrors.
Because he was far away and due to the heaven path dao marks on his injuries, Spectral Soul
Demon Venerable could no longer sense Ying Wu Xie.
He was senseless and could not use investigative or tracking methods.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable roared in anger and vented for some time before he was lured
towards a nearby grotto-heaven.
This was Flickering Light grotto-heaven.
Inside, the leader of Flickering Light grotto-heaven, Gu Immortal Liang Jing Jing, was already
trembling in fear.
In the past, with Flickering Light grotto-heaven hidden and condensed into a tiny spot, Spectral
Soul Demon Venerable would not be able to find it in his current state.
But now, the fusion of the two heavens had reached the most intense moment, as a heaven
vein node, Flickering Light grotto-heaven was affected by it and got exposed to the outside
world.
"Alliance Leader, save me!!" Liang Jing Jing did not hesitate, she quickly asked Fang Yuan for
help.
"I am willing to contribute light heaven for a large amount of contribution points in exchange for
Lord Alliance Leader's help to save my Flickering Light grotto-heaven!" Liang Jing Jing
screamed out in terror.
"Light heaven?" Fang Yuan quickly received Liang Jing Jing's distress message while he was
unsealing the truthful floating ice.
After receiving the letter, he learned of light heaven.
Flickering Light grotto-heaven had devoured many fragments of the immemorial nine heavens,
but its inner space was still too small.
A certain generation's Flickering Light Grotto Lord came up with a brilliant plan to develop the
grotto-heaven, that was to create an artificial heaven.
That was the source of light heaven.
From then on, the generations of Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven spent their
lives to work on this grand plan, contributing everything into this.
They collected heavenly light and refined them carefully, slowly expanding the light heaven of
Flickering Light grotto-heaven.
Its current size had already surpassed the original space of Flickering Light grotto-heaven itself.
Fang Yuan quickly considered this.
His original plan was to let Zhan Bu Du stabilize the immortal aperture while he built more
resource points and created more dao veins. After that, he would absorb the Primordial Domain
and gain a huge boost of attainment levels.
With the attainment levels and stabilized the sovereign immortal aperture, he would be able to
annex more grotto-heavens of the two heavens.
In the current situation, Flickering Light grotto-heaven was going to be destroyed, Fang Yuan's
plans were unable to keep up with the development of events.
Fang Yuan was currently only a master in light path.
If he wanted to defend Flickering Light grotto-heaven, he would need to fight against Spectral
Soul Demon Venerable. If the battle becomes too intense and obscured heavenly secret fails,
he would be exposed, causing Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal
Venerable to attack him at the same time.
And most crucially, against other venerables, Fang Yuan did not have much of an advantage.
Even though he had two rank nine Immortal Gu, he had not created complementary killer moves
to use them with. He also had refinement path as his main path, it was not specialized in
fighting.
"If the venerables end up fighting, I only have an advantage in immortal essence. However, if
they join up to suppress me, my immortal essence will be countered by their sheer number."
"I cannot save Flickering Light grotto-heaven!"
Fang Yuan decided to abandon Flickering Light grotto-heaven resolutely.
"Lord Alliance Leader, this light heaven is incredibly valuable, if you place it in the sovereign
immortal aperture, it will be a great addition." Liang Jing Jing urged, this was the only thing that
she could offer to Fang Yuan now.
"Lord Alliance Leader, can you hear me? Please reply to me!!!" Liang Jing Jing stomped her feet
in anxiety.
But now, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had already arrived, with a loud sound, he destroyed
the grotto-heaven's entrance.
Hundreds or thousands of arms entered the immortal aperture, wherever they went, lives were
slaughtered, nobody could defend against the might of the venerable!
Liang Jing Jing had to hide in light heaven while she cried and sought help from Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had an indifferent expression, he knew that this decision would affect his prestige,
but fighting against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was even worse.
These subordinates were only tools in his contest against the venerables, he would not sacrifice
his own benefits for just one of these tools.
Chess pieces were pieces because they were meant to be used, they were also meant to be
discarded when necessary.
"Fang Yuan, I hate you, I hate you! How dare you call yourself Great Love Immortal Venerable?
I was wrong about you, you are leaving us to die, you are not fit to be the alliance leader!!"
Liang Jing Jing cursed in despair.
At this moment, Fang Yuan showed a joyful expression.
He had reached a qualitative development in unsealing the truthful floating ice.
His heaven path attainment level reached grandmaster!
The number of heaven path dao marks rose drastically, while other paths' attainment level also
grew slightly.
And most importantly, he gained heavenly secret Gu's rank nine recipe!
"Rank nine heavenly secret Gu?"
This was an unexpected gain for Fang Yuan.
Even someone like him could not help but feel his eyes light up.
"It was really wise to not save Flickering Light grotto-heaven."
"That was close..."
"If I had interfered to save Flickering Light grotto-heaven, it would trigger a battle between
venerables later. I would have been a step away from obtaining rank nine heavenly secret
Immortal Gu's recipe!"
This Immortal Gu recipe came at the perfect timing, it was very useful to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan immediately decided that his third rank nine Immortal Gu would be — Heavenly
Secret!
-x-X-x-
Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang flew rapidly along the way.
Ever since Qin Ding Ling used her luck path killer move, the two of them had a smooth journey
with nearly no hurdles.
Jun Shen Guang sighed in admiration and praised it many times.
Qin Ding Ling explained: "The might of the move far exceeded my usual limits, I have already
comprehended a part of the reason for the resonance with heaven and earth."
"Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable placed Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace in
Northern Plains' black heaven, it was there for three hundred thousand years."
"In these three hundred thousand years, Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace had been exerting
its effect to lay out luck path dao marks, spreading nearly throughout the entire immemorial
black heaven."
"Precisely because of this terrifying accumulation, it caused us to fail and suffer huge losses
when Central Continent invaded Northern Plains to try and take fortune rivaling heaven Gu."
"Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already predicted that the two heavens would fuse, thus, he
moved Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace away and used it in the battle in Crazed Demon
Cave."
"But the three hundred thousand years of accumulated luck path dao marks are all carved in
Northern Plains' immemorial black heaven. Furthermore, the number is too vast to imagine."
"After the two heavens fused, both black and white heavens broke into countless fragments of
various sizes, this caused the luck path dao marks to spread out as well.
Jun Shen Guang asked: "So why did your luck path killer move get amplified by these luck path
dao marks? Is it because a move was made by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable?"
Qin Ding Ling had a grim expression: "If that is so, this will be part of Giant Sun Immortal
Venerable's scheme. But this is quite unlikely, because I have already asked Star Constellation
Immortal Venerable about it, she told me that these luck path dao marks are natural dao marks,
they do not belong to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable."
Jun Shen Guang was more confused now: "So why was there a resonance?"
Qin Ding Ling shook her head: "Forget about this for now, the matter at hand is to recruit
Flickering Light grotto-heaven!"
Regarding this, Jun Shen Guang was even more confident than before: "Lady Qin Ding Ling's
luck path killer move is unparalleled, in my opinion, we will definitely succeed this time."
A while later.
The two immortals got close to Flickering Light grotto-heaven.
They were shocked to see that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was rampaging inside
Flickering Light grotto-heaven.
He did not enter the grotto-heaven physically, but he broke the grotto-heaven door and
extended hundreds of arms inside to slaughter and destroy everything he could reach, be it
mortals or immortals, it was a cruel sight.
Qin Ding Ling went into a daze.
She had never expected such a thing to happen.
The immemorial two heavens were too huge.
It was very improbable for Spectral Soul Demon Venerable to find trouble with Flickering Light
grotto-heaven at this very moment.
Jun Shen Guang's mouth opened wide as he stared at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable before
turning around to look at Qin Ding Ling with a complex expression.
He seemed to be asking: "Is this the effect of your luck path killer move?"
Qin Ding Ling coughed and said awkwardly: "Spectral Soul Demon Venerable is a venerable,
even if my luck path method was amplified by the resonance of heaven and earth, it should not
have such an immense effect."
Jun Shen Guang was dazed: "What should we do?"
They had originally planned to recruit Profound Literature grotto-heaven, but Old Immortal Hua
Yu displayed the specialty of an information path expert.
He hinted to them that if they could recruit Flickering Light grotto-heaven, he would join them as
well.
But now, after Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang took the time to travel all this way to
Flickering Light grotto-heaven, they found that Flickering Light grotto-heaven was about to be
destroyed by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!
"Quickly escape, grotto lord!"
"Let us draw the attention of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!"
"Flickering Light grotto-heaven is going to be destroyed, but your immortal aperture and our
clansmen are all alive, please, you need to think of the big picture."
At this time, six Gu Immortals flew out of Flickering Light grotto-heaven.
Rank eight light path Gu Immortal Liang Jing Jing was covered in heavy injuries, she was flying
away in tears now as the other Gu Immortals used their lives to defend her.
However, even if Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was not sane now, he was still a venerable.
He had overwhelming killing intent, seeing that these Gu Immortals were trying to escape, he
followed his instincts and tried to kill them.
The Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven were in imminent danger.
"A chance!" Jun Shen Guang shouted uncontrollably.
"So that's it." Qin Ding Ling understood at once: "So this is the true effect of my luck path killer
move."
Often, precious opportunities were hidden in dangerous situations.
"Let us help you!" Qin Ding Ling shouted and made a move first.
Jun Shen Guang quickly followed after her.
The Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven were initially fearful, according to their
current faction, they were enemies. But after realizing that the Heavenly Court immortals were
really helping them, these Gu Immortals developed an intense feeling of joy and gratitude.
Eventually, with the help of Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang, the Flickering Light
grotto-heaven Gu Immortals managed to escape.
Of course, they paid a huge price for this.
Qin Ding Ling was lightly injured while Jun Shen Guang was heavily injured, only three Gu
Immortals from Flickering Light grotto-heaven were left, one was unconscious while two were
heavily injured.
"This is the power of a venerable, we had no way to retaliate!" Jun Shen Guang sighed,
although he was safe now, he still sighed while feeling lingering fear.
He was a rank eight expert, but when chased by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he was
fragile as a baby.
And this was when Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had no sanity, his actions were akin to a
soul beast.
"If Spectral Soul Demon Venerable chased after us with all his strength, we would not have
survived. Thankfully, his attention was mostly on Flickering Light grotto-heaven, he only chased
us for a while before returning to destroy the grotto-heaven!" Qin Ding Ling said.
"Sigh..."
"Our homeland..."
Of the three Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven, one was unconscious while two
had pale expression, they had a heavy mood and felt deep sadness, pain, anger, and
helplessness that could not be concealed.
"You have my condolences. Venerables are invincible while us rank eights are ants. It was
already our great fortune to have been able to escape." Qin Ding Ling consoled.
Liang Jing Jing suddenly bowed and paid respects to Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang: "I will
never forget the debt of saving our lives. We were enemies but you risked your lives to save us,
such righteousness and magnanimity is truly astounding, we are in deep awe."
"Heavenly Court is truly the leader of humanity, you will forever be the number one force in the
world!"
"Compared to you, it is truly the biggest irony that our alliance leader called himself Great Love
Immortal Venerable and created the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance."
Speaking of Fang Yuan, Liang Jing Jing felt immense hatred.
Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang looked at each other, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
The other Gu Immortal from Flickering Light grotto-heaven who was awake said: "Friends from
Heavenly Court, our Grotto Lord is not a scheming person, Fang Yuan had really gone
overboard!"
"We had already asked him for help, we placed light heaven in treasure yellow heaven and
transacted it to him."
"But he took our light heaven and ignored our plight, he showed no intentions of helping us, he
directly abandoned us!"
"We are his subordinates, we are members of his Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance!"
"Such an action is truly disappointing and shameful. To think that we believed he would change
his ways and become righteous after becoming venerable!"
Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang were very happy now.
Even without them saying anything, the Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven were
already hinting that they wanted to jump ship and join them!
"Lady Qin Ding Ling's luck path killer move is truly profound and mystical." Jun Shen Guang
praised internally.
Qin Ding Ling had a solemn expression: "I won't hide this from you, we came here because of a
certain reason."
Next, Qin Ding Ling explained the details of why she came, she even requested for Liang Jing
Jing to help convince Old Immortal Hua Yu.
After hearing her words, Liang Jing Jing and the rest were also quite joyful.
They had no choice now but to try to join Heavenly Court, they were very uneasy about
betraying Fang Yuan.
If Fang Yuan came to them to settle the score, they would be in trouble.
Even if Star Constellation Immortal Venerable could block Heaven Refining Demon Venerable
for some time and protect, how could she guard them forever?
If Fang Yuan bore hatred and wanted to kill these traitors, he would have the initiative. He could
attack anytime he wanted to.
If he attacked on a random day, the Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven would not be
able to block him or wait for reinforcements.
They were absolutely sure of that now.
Because earlier, they saw the terrifying might of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable.
He was just a senseless venerable.
If he had sanity, if their enemy was Fang Yuan instead of Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, that
would be incredibly terrifying. These Gu Immortals had no way of escaping at all.
The Gu Immortals of Flickering Light grotto-heaven confirmed that they were betraying him now,
in that case, they needed more traitors on this ship, so that his attention would be split among
them.
Thus, Liang Jing Jing did not even care about her injuries, she decided to go with Qin Ding Ling
to try and convince Old Immortal Hua Yu at Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
The group met with Old Immortal Hua Yu as they conversed secretly.
Qin Ding Ling spoke convincingly: "Lady Star Constellation Immortal Venerable has already
deduced the result, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable seem to be roaming aimlessly and causing
destruction, but there is a pattern with his actions."
"He is destroying the pillars that hold up immemorial white heaven. For example, the heavenly
chasm, heavenly pillar, or even heaven vein nodes like Flickering Light grotto-heaven."
"Your Profound Literature grotto-heaven is the same as Flickering Light grotto-heaven, you are
both heaven vein nodes of immemorial white heaven. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable will
definitely come to destroy Profound Literature grotto-heaven in the future."
Liang Jing Jing added: "Old Immortal Hua Yu, we've known each other for many years. You've
seen what happened to me, Fang Yuan abandoned us, he even took away our light heaven, he
is cold, cruel, and shameless to the extreme!"
"Do you want to entrust your life to such an alliance leader?"
"You have to decide now. Once Spectral Soul Demon Venerable comes to find you, it will be too
late for Profound Literature grotto-heaven to relocate."
-x-X-x-
Old Immortal Hua Yu was convinced, he gritted his teeth and said: "Does Heavenly Court have
a way to relocate my grotto-heaven?"
Qin Ding Ling smiled lightly; "Of course we do. The foundation of Heavenly Court cannot be
matched by Longevity Heaven or Fang Yuan. Believe me, joining Heavenly Court is the wisest
decision!"
Old Immortal Hua Yu sighed deeply and replied: "This is a huge matter, do allow me to return to
the grotto-heaven and hold a meeting with the other Gu Immortals."
"We will wait here for the good news." Qin Ding Ling showed a very understanding demeanor.
After Old Immortal Hua Yu returned to the grotto-heaven, he assembled the immortals and
explained the situation to them.
Although they were shocked, after three days and nights, they all agreed with Old Immortal Hua
Yu's decision to switch sides to Heavenly Court.
Li Xiao Bai was among them, he also agreed to join Heavenly Court but he was feeling nervous
internally.
If Star Constellation Immortal Venerable used an investigative method on him, she might find
out his relationship with Fang Yuan. But he was just one person, while the intention to join
Heavenly Court had already been acknowledged among everyone.
Old Immortal Hua Yu led the immortals out of the grotto-heaven, they met with Qin Ding Ling
and Jun Shen Guang.
"Good, good, good." Qin Ding Ling welcomed them as she said: "Everyone, by joining the right
side, not only will you gain immense benefits, you will also create a brighter future for your
descendants."
Old Immortal Hua Yu followed: "Indeed, we should share such joyful news with others. I hope
Lady Qin Ding Ling and Lord Jun Shen Guang can help, I am willing to take a risk and rescue
more friends from this demonic Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance."
Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang heard his words and laughed joyfully.
With Old Immortal Hua Yu taking the lead, and an example like Liang Jing Jing, because Qin
Ding Ling also used a luck path killer move earlier, their journey in convincing the rest to join
them went smoothly.
Several days later.
Nearly all of the human forces of the two heavens' grotto-heavens had betrayed Fang Yuan,
they went to join Heavenly Court.
To speak the truth, Qin Ding Ling had only planned to recruit Old Immortal Hua Yu, but after
they took action, the results were actually much better than expected.
Such news could not be hidden, soon, the entire five regions' Gu Immortals went into an uproar.
"Heavenly Court is still Heavenly Court after all!"
"Fang Yuan suffered a loss again."
"Earlier in Western Desert, Heavenly Court won and forced Fang clan to sell all their resource
points as they fled from their territory."
"Now, Fang Yuan's influence in the two heavens has mostly been uprooted by Heavenly Court."
"Even though Fang Yuan is a venerable, he cultivates refinement path. Star Constellation
Immortal Venerable is a wisdom path venerable, she is most skilled at plotting and making use
of people's feelings."
"To speak the truth, I can understand why they chose to join Heavenly Court. After all, Fang
Yuan did nothing and allowed Spectral Soul Demon Venerable to slaughter and cause
destruction in the two heavens, this is not what a leader should do. There are even rumors that
Fang Yuan took Liang Jing Jing's light heaven without helping out!"
The Gu Immortals discussed among themselves.
Every action of a venerable, no matter how small, was a huge matter in the Gu Immortal world,
it would draw the attention of everyone.
Many people started to guess what Fang Yuan would do now.
Would he take revenge? Would he take action to pursue those grotto-heaven forces that
betrayed him?
Or would he just take this loss silently?
"If I were him, I would definitely take action! Traitors need to be punished, if they have an easier
life after this, what will the other members of the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance think?"
"If they can betray him so easily, aren't they simply disregarding the status of Great Love
Immortal Venerable?"
"Maybe they are just bullying Lord Fang Yuan for being a newly advanced venerable."
"How can the pride of a venerable be provoked so easily?"
Soon, waves of discussion erupted, becoming the main topic of treasure yellow heaven.
"Hehe." Wu Yong smiled coldly, he did not need to guess to know that this discussion was
driven by Longevity Heaven.
If he could force Heaven Refining Demon Venerable and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable
to enter battle from this, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable would benefit immensely.
"Fang Yuan will not make a move, I know him too well." Wu Yong looked in the direction of
Eastern Sea as he sighed deeply.
If it were him, he would not do anything either.
If a move was made, Fang Yuan would need to fight against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable,
this was extremely disadvantageous.
"With the contest of three venerables, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable clearly has the upper
hand. Star Constellation Immortal Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable have their
stronghold respectively, while Fang Yuan lacks in this aspect while also having the least
immortal essence."
"In this situation, he needs to be even more vigilant. If he takes action abruptly, he will likely be
disadvantaged even further."
"The rumors should be true, Fang Yuan took the light heaven but did not help her. In this aspect,
I cannot compare to him."
Comparing himself to Fang Yuan, Wu Yong reflected upon himself and felt that his
shamelessness was still not enough, he had much to learn.
What were reputation and prestige?
They were just elements that were necessary to survive or gain victory.
If reputation or prestige were not useful for survival or claiming victory, then they should be
discarded immediately.
When it was time to be shameless, one needed to be resolutely shameless!
"It is time."
"It is time to join the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance."
Bright light flickered in Wu Yong's eyes continuously.
Right when everyone thought poorly of Fang Yuan and felt that he was the weakest among the
three venerables, Wu Yong made a decision that was the opposite of everyone else!
Fang Yuan accepted it without hesitation.
Once news spread, Southern Border's Gu Immortal world became shocked, the entire five
regions' Gu Immortal world was shaken.
Fang clan who joined the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance lost their territory and had to
flee. A large number of super forces in the two heavens also left the Heaven and Earth Great
Love Alliance.
In this situation, Wu clan went against the trend and publicly joined the Heaven and Earth Great
Love Alliance, this was a questionable action that drew disdain from others.
Southern Border's Gu Immortal world was shaken, doubts towards Wu Yong soon rose and
erupted into a storm.
But Wu clan, who was at the center of the storm, stayed united against all resistance, no matter
how they were targeted, they remained unmoving like a monolith, showing no weaknesses at
all.
Back in Western Desert.
"Southern Border's Wu Yong... I've heard of his name long ago, but his courage and foresight
are truly admirable." Fang Gong said in amazement.
Fang Di Chang nodded: "I wonder how much benefits he obtained from Fang Yuan by using the
entire Wu clan as the stake to publicly join the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance."
"Regardless of the results, this is a grand leader with huge ambitions! Wu clan has been
Southern Border's number one super force for a long time, but they still made such a risky
move. My Fang clan is far inferior to Wu clan to begin with, so how can we not have the same
resolve as them?" Fang Hua Sheng smiled.
"Third supreme elder is right! Our Fang clan has already rested sufficiently, all sorts of resource
points have been transacted for Immortal Gu, Fang An Lei and Fang Chen have also returned
already, and our Immortal Gu Houses have been improved further. It is time to take action!"
Fang Leng shouted with great enthusiasm.
Fang clan lost all their territory, they became a roaming force without a base.
But in this situation, youngsters like Fang Leng grew up and matured rapidly, they became more
proactive and enthusiastic.
Fang Di Chang looked towards the other Gu Immortals as he said: "What do you think?"
"I think we can make a move now!"
"If we stay cooped up in here, I feel like I will turn rusty soon."
"We need to show those super forces that bullied our Fang clan that there is a huge price to pay
for provoking us!"
After seeing that their Gu Immortals had high morale, Fang Gong became very happy: "Good,
we will teach them a lesson that they will never forget!"
The first supreme elder showed a clear attitude, Fang clan's immortals had shining eyes as their
expressions became even more heated.
Fang Di Chang nodded lightly and tossed out an information path Gu worm which turned into a
map in the air: "We will target this place."
The immortals looked and had a change of expressions, they did not think that Fang Di Chang
would make such a decision.
"This is... earthly flame forest?"
"This is Dong clan's number one resource point! It is tightly defended."
"Is this too aggressive?"
Fang Di Chang smiled: "Everyone, listen to me. The earthly flame forest is not made of trees but
flame pillars from underground instead. After reaching a breaking point, they will spew out of the
surface and form into flames that resemble trees. The cause is the fire path dao vein
underground."
"However, with the unification of five regions, the regional walls vanished and the earth veins
relocated drastically. Thus, that fire path dao vein is also shifting."
"Earlier, Dong clan set up an immortal formation there using the original location without any
Immortal Gu. Currently, it is at the breaking point, it is like a paper window that can be pierced
with just one strike!"
"And most crucially, the mission board of our alliance has changed. Earth path resource points
are now exchanging for less contribution points while wind path and fire path resource points
have grown in value. Thus, by attacking this spot, we can gain even more contribution points!"
After the Fang clan immortals heard this, they understood that Fang Di Chang had planned this
after much preparation and consideration.
"As expected of Lord Fang Di Chang." Fang Chen sighed.
"Since second supreme elder has decided upon this, we will trust you!" Fang An Lei expressed
her view.
"Then let us take down this earthly flame forest, hahaha." Old Ghost Bai Jun was Fang clan's
slave Gu Immortal, he also showed his stance.
"I can't wait anymore." Fang Dong Xi rubbed his palms together.
Although he had revived and retained his rank seven cultivation, his immortal aperture was
empty and needed development.
Earlier, when the Fang clansmen were sold, he had gone to Xiao Ye Hu for a transaction but
found that Wang Xiao Er had been bought already.
As for the other Fang clan members, because of Fang Di Chang's words, to play it safe for now,
they did not buy them.
Several days later.
Fang clan moved out all at once, successfully assaulting earthly flame forest.
Fang clan had a huge force now while Dong clan had just lost their Red River Wheel.
Dong clan's first supreme elder did not hesitate, he immediately requested for help from the
other super forces.
After Dong clan gathered many Gu Immortals and several Immortal Gu Houses, they went to
reinforce the resource point but found that it was in a state of ruin and destruction.
Fang clan had not just retreated and vanished into thin air, they even moved the entire
mountain-like area of the earthly flame forest, including the ground itself, into treasure yellow
heaven.
Western Desert's Gu Immortals were shaken!
The five regions' Gu Immortals were stunned.
Right when Dong clan's first supreme elder hesitated on whether to organize a second
anti-Fang alliance, Fang clan struck again and targeted the other super forces' resource points,
after succeeding, they easily retreated.
The five regions went into an uproar!
Western Desert's super forces started to become fearful, everyone started to focus on
defending themselves.
Fang Yuan did not make a move on the two heavens' grotto-heavens from start to finish. But
Southern Border's Wu clan and Western Desert's Fang clan had taken action instead, this was
like giving Heavenly Court two slaps across the face, creating two loud sounds that resounded
in the entire world.
-x-X-x-
Heavenly Court.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable let out a breath of air, her face was pale, she felt an intense weakness and fatigue spreading throughout her body.
"I finally created this formation, now, it is time for our human path to develop rapidly."
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable looked at the derivation formation in front of her with much joy.
After she refined all the wisdom path dao marks in Heavenly Court, she did not set off immediately, instead, she made use of the time to quickly set up the derivation formation.
Although Star Constellation Immortal Venerable cultivated wisdom path and star path, she was not weak at setting up formations either.
In fact, she was even more formidable than most rank eight formation path experts.
Of course, compared to legendary formation path great experts, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was still unable to compare to them in formation path alone.
Regardless, with the full effort of Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, this derivation formation was finally completed!
The core of this formation was rank nine derivation Immortal Gu.
This was a legendary Immortal Gu first recorded in <
After the battle in Crazed Demon Cave, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable took this piece of truthful floating ice that contained derivation Gu.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable used Heavenly Court's heaven path research results to unseal the truthful floating ice and retrieve derivation Gu.
Afterwards, she used derivation Immortal Gu as the main core to establish this formation around it!
Limitless Demon Venerable used derivation Immortal Gu and the chaos outside the world to derive and create this truthful floating ice that did not belong to this world in essence.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable used the essence of the Crazed Demon formation to create her own derivation formation that was meant to develop human path.
The development of a path usually took over a hundred thousand or even millions of years and the effort of countless geniuses and talents. But using the derivation formation, the path's development soared like a rocket, it shot up towards the sky with one thrust!
After inspecting the derivation formation, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable checked the various wisdom path killer moves that she used earlier.
These wisdom path killer moves could block detection methods and conceal her derivation formation, and also amplify Heavenly Court's defenses.
Although the core Immortal Gu of these moves were only rank eight, under the amplification of Heavenly Court's dao marks, even if the other venerables attacked at full force, they could last for some time.
After everything was done, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable took a rest, this was something that she barely did.
But her immortal essence had been depleted to a great extent, although her immortal aperture was developing, the rank nine immortal essence production could not keep up with her expenditure.
Furthermore, in order to create this rank nine formation, because Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was not a formation path venerable, she had to use up a vast number of thoughts.
Come to speak of it, ever since Star Constellation Immortal Venerable revived, she had not taken a proper rest.
The contest of venerables gave her immense pressure.
After three days passed, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable immediately went to settle Heavenly Court's affairs.
Heavenly Court's immortals (and wills) gathered for a discussion again.
Qin Ding Ling came to report everything that had happened in the two heavens.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable gave her some words of encouragement, the two of them, Qin Ding Ling and Jun Shen Guang, had done a great job in recruiting most of the grotto-heaven forces in the two heavens.
As for the mysterious amplification of Qin Ding Ling's luck path killer move, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable also decided to spend some time to make deductions on it.
Northern Plains had no significant events happening, the demonic cultivators were gathering together under the pressure of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they were either recruited by the Huang Jin tribes or went to the side of Chu Du, Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, and Fairy Black Moon.
As for Wan clan, Fang clan created a commotion and attacked many of Western Desert's super forces with great success. Western Desert's righteous path was having a huge headache now, Wan clan and the others were seeking help from Heavenly Court.
In Southern Border, Wu Yong created a commotion. He was already close to Heavenly Court but he suddenly changed attitude and joined the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance.
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable rejected the request of sending help to Western Desert's righteous path, while mobilizing almost all of the Gu Immortals in the Central Continent's ten great ancient sects to create her star array calculation formation.
Western Desert's situation was mostly led by Wan Zi Hong and Zhou Xiong Xin.
"Fang clan is just a small problem, how many resource points can Fang clan plunder? In the case of the sovereign immortal aperture, it is too insignificant."
"The more Fang clan attacks, the more clues they will leave behind. One day, their location will be exposed to us."
"Western Desert's righteous path is losing, but that is not the loss of our Central Continent's Heavenly Court."
"As for Southern Border's Wu Yong, let him go. Right now, Heavenly Court cannot send troops out yet. He is ambitious but he is not even a pseudo venerable. How many ambitious Gu Immortals are there in the world? Only more will appear in the future."
"Right now, the fusion of two heavens has reached the most crucial moment, this is the natural development of the Heavenly Dao. Now that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable has lost his human nature, his actions are dictated by the nature of heaven. I have already deduced that there will be a huge change in the future."
"Central Continent needs to create the star array calculation formation to prepare for the future, when the Heavenly Dao undergo new changes."
After Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's words, some Gu Immortals pointed out their doubts: "The creation of this formation is unprecedented in size and scale, I am worried that if we set it up without any concealment, the other venerables will attack."
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable smiled plainly: "No worries, I have a plan."
On the same day, Central Continent's ten great ancient sects sent a large number of Gu Immortals to gather above the sky of Central Continent, they started to place stars and arrange them according to the star array calculation formation.
The number of Gu Immortals involved and the height of their respective cultivation levels was simply unprecedented.
Such a huge commotion immediately drew the attention of the Gu Immortals of the five regions.
It was clear that only Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had the ability to gather such a large number of people.
The Gu Immortals started to guess what ability was contained in this formation that Star Constellation Immortal Venerable was trying to build.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already returned to Longevity Heaven.
His gaze pierced through the ground and into the Blood Sea at the bottom.
It was rumbling with huge waves, at the center of the Blood Sea, there was a huge whirlpool.
"It is finally time." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable nodded slightly.
This Blood Sea had been hidden in Longevity Heaven all along, it was created by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's clone, Blood Sea Ancestor.
He wanted to create a blood path secluded domain of heaven and earth.
Blood Sea Ancestor left behind countless blood path inheritances, including nine true inheritances. He had naturally left behind the deepest profundities in Longevity Heaven, Blood Sea was one of them.
Initially, this Blood Sea was small and of low quality, but after countless years of nurturing, it had already reached an impressive level.
Before Giant Sun Immortal Venerable revived, he had already started making arrangements for Blood Sea.
Blood Sea was very important for the current Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. Thus, he let his subordinate who had the best Gu refinement ability, Yao Huang, stay here to control the overall situation.
Immortal killer move — Destined Birth Through Luck.
Giant Sun Immortal Venerable activated this killer move, by combining the luck path method with Blood Sea, he could revive Gu Immortals!
Under the amplification of Longevity Heaven's luck path dao marks, golden light radiated heaven and earth, penetrating deep into Blood Sea, every droplet of blood water was dyed golden in color.
Rumble...
Blood waves rose and crashed as thunderous sounds erupted, the huge whirlpool at the center became more rapid and turbulent.
Yao Huang had an exhausted expression, he had been guarding this place and using refinement path methods without rest, he was exerting his full effort without losing his concentration at all.
Right now, he thought to himself with intense anticipation.
"Blood Sea has the power to revive people on its own, while ancestor used his luck path killer move, destined birth through luck. With the combination of both, this Gu Immortal who revives first will definitely be of great help and importance to our Longevity Heaven!"
"Who will this person be?"
Boom!
After reaching a certain limit, the blood waves exploded into a shocking tsunami of great height.
The waves crashed into the huge whirlpool at the center from all directions, filling it up immediately.
Blood Sea became tranquil all of a sudden, it was still turbulent earlier but became clear as a mirror now, the contrast was quite jarring.
Suddenly, a pillar of light shot up from the sea.
Next, more and more lights appeared, over a thousand light pillars pierced through the sea like dozens of sharp swords.
A huge lump of light rose from Blood Sea like a miniature sun.
This light was so dazzling that Yao Huang had to squint his eyes and use a killer move, but he still felt like his eyes were going blind.
"A light path Gu Immortal expert..."
"In history, which person with Huang Jin bloodline fits this description?"
Almost instantly, a name appeared in Yao Huang's mind.
As the dazzling light faded away, a Gu Immortal stayed floating in the air, he had no hair but his body emitted intense light in all directions, he was like a person made of light.
He pointed towards heaven and earth with both hands respectively as he shouted loudly: "Beneath the heavens and above the earth, I am the most dazzling one in sight!"
Yao Huang was deeply shocked.
"There's no mistake, with this tone and temperament, it has to be him."
"Ancestor's eldest son, the legendary light path cultivator who left his name in history."
"Pseudo venerable — Light Emperor!"
At this moment, Light Emperor reacted as he looked at Yao Huang and asked: "I actually revived, who are you?"
"I am the current generation South Desolation Immortal, Yao Huang."
"You revived me?"
"I did." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable spoke.
"Father?!" Light Emperor was shocked, he blinked rapidly: "Oh, in that case, other than you, my father, in this world, I am the most dazzling!"
"Cough, cough." Yao Huang interrupted: "The truth is, Light Emperor, in the current world, there are four venerables in existence, while three are in a deadlock."
Light Emperor was stunned, he rubbed his chin: "Oh, in that case, other than the four venerables, I am the most dazzling person!"
"You are not the only pseudo venerable, my son." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable spoke again.
"Ah, damn it." Light Emperor rubbed his bald head, he could not frown without any eyebrows, but he still showed a bitter expression: "This era has many dazzling people. But it is not a problem, I am the Light Emperor after all!"
"You were reborn at an opportune time, I have already checked that your fortuitous encounter is in the immemorial two heavens. Go there, my son." Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's voice gradually became softer as he left.
"Father, don't leave so hastily. Give me a few Immortal Gu, how else can I shine brightly?" Light Emperor shouted.
"Lord, don't worry, ancestor has already prepared your Immortal Gu." Yao Huang said as he flew over and handed him some light path Immortal Gu.
Light Emperor was feeling quite vexed: "Just these? No wonder father left so quickly. It will be quite hard to dazzle everyone now."
