51 Fang Yuan Refines the Immortal Travel Gu, Qi Tian Finally Gets the Divine Travel Gu

Seventeen days later.

October 24th, 2:30 PM.

The Soul-Rocking Palace.

Qi Tian sat cross-legged in the magnificent hall.

Before him were several jars of premium wine.

These wines were collected by Qi Tian during his time at the Immortal Crane Sect and during his explorations in the "Flower Sky Wine Land" of the Misty Valley.

Altogether, there were two or three large jars and five smaller ones.

"According to the original text, from the formation of Fang Yuan's Immortal Travel Gu to his use of it to arrive at the Fox Immortal Blessed Land, the time gap is very short. If I drink now, it is still too early."

The three large jars of wine were divided into six smaller jars by Qi Tian, and with the addition of the other two jars, there were a total of eight jars.

This meant Qi Tian only had two chances left to use them.

"In the original text, the next appearance of the Divine Travel Gu was several months later, when it was sold by the Inkstone Elder in the Yellow Treasure Heaven. But I don't know when it was formed."

"However, one thing is certain: the earlier I drink after the Divine Travel Gu has been refined into the Immortal Travel Gu, the greater my chances of getting it."

Qi Tian's face became serious, showing a cautious expression.

"Earth Spirit! Show me the image of the summit of the Soul-Rocking Mountain!"

"As you wish, Master!"

With a wave of the Fox Immortal's hand, smoky images began to swirl in the air, showing the summit of the Soul-Rocking Mountain of the blessed land.

"There's half a quarter of an hour left before 2:45 PM, I can start drinking now," Qi Tian murmured to himself and took out two pre-prepared Gu.

One was called the Clear Spirit Gu, and the other was the Waking Cloud Gu.

Both were fourth-grade Gu. After Qi Tian infused his true essence into them, they were activated.

The Clear Spirit Gu turned into a breeze and directly entered his mind. The Waking Cloud Gu, resembling a cotton ball, transformed into a small cloud that hovered above his head.

Having completed these steps, he opened a wine jar and tilted his head, drinking deeply.

Immediately, a powerful intoxication surged through his entire body and mind.

Qi Tian quickly commanded the Clear Spirit Gu to invigorate his spirit and keep his mind clear. Meanwhile, the Waking Cloud Gu continued to swirl above his head, ensuring his mind stayed alert.

After drinking four jars of fine wine, Qi Tian remained in a clear state, but he noticed no physical changes.

At this point, there were still three minutes left before 2:45 PM.

"It seems the Divine Travel Gu hasn't disappeared. The Immortal Gu is unique. I still need to continue drinking. Success or failure depends on this!" Qi Tian took another jar of wine, broke the seal, and drank it one after another.

Meanwhile, above the Three-Pronged Mountain in the Southern Region.

The cocoon in the light river cracked open, and a glowing green butterfly flew out — the Immortal Travel Gu!

"You've really refined the Immortal Travel Gu, impressive! Truly worthy of being the future Gu Immortal!" The Earth Spirit's voice of praise echoed in Fang Yuan's ear.

Fang Yuan laughed heartily, "The Immortal Travel Gu allows a Gu Master to travel across the world to any place they desire. But since it's an Immortal Gu, it still requires your help to activate it with Immortal Essence."

The Giant Turtle replied, "Of course. There's still some Immortal Essence left in the copper cauldron. Think of where you want to go in your mind. Make sure to choose a safe place, and be careful that the memory in your mind matches the real location closely. It can't differ too much."

"Of course, I understand."

The Giant Turtle sighed deeply, his tone filled with earnestness, "Using the Immortal Travel Gu will certainly help you escape from danger. But once the Immortal Essence is exhausted, the blessed land will collapse. Death will come, and for me, it would also be a release. I only hope you can refine the second Void Aperture Gu in the future and make the most of this opportunity. Before we part, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Fang Yuan opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

He flapped his broken black wings, soaring in the air and looking down at the surroundings.

As he thought about the grand gamble ahead, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. His emotions swelled, and in the midst of everyone's attention, his heart was in turmoil, which transformed into a poem.

The heroes heard him suddenly start reciting:

"The ancient Earth Immortal fades with the wind,

The three kings of old return to the green tomb."

"Who hasn't had their share of defeat? But they return and reclaim their title as king."

"The Milky Way hangs to sift the dragon fish,

Defying heaven and walking alone, observing the eight directions."

"Today, I stretch my wings and fly,

Tomorrow, I'll ascend as an Immortal and strike down the Phoenix!"

After finishing the poem, Fang Yuan laughed loudly.

Everyone else stood in stunned silence.

Only the Earth Spirit exclaimed, "Such ambition! I will see you off on your journey!"

Immortal Essence was infused into the Immortal Travel Gu, and a flash of green light appeared, vanishing with Fang Yuan into the air.

Only his clothes and pants, like a kite with broken strings, drifted down from the sky.

"He has disappeared!"

---

Fox Immortal Blessed Land.

When Qi Tian drank the last jar of wine, his whole body trembled. All the alcohol in his body suddenly gathered like a river flowing into the sea, condensing into one.

In the dark, mysterious patterns appeared, and Dao markings formed. This slight explosion transformed into a Gu — the Divine Travel Gu!

At the same time, a brilliant jade light appeared in the light curtain, and someone suddenly appeared on the mountain.

"Has it really teleported me here? Tch, the Immortal Travel Gu has this flaw; it can't transport external clothing. But luckily, I stored the Gu insects in the Void Aperture, so I brought them along."

Fang Yuan quickly scanned his surroundings to understand his situation.

Soon, he realized something was wrong.

"Eh? Where is everyone? Could it be that the timeline recorded in the 'Phoenix Golden Light Chronicles' was wrong?" Fang Yuan immediately had a bad feeling.

"Has Feng Jinhuang already taken the throne? Or has the competition not started? Could this be the butterfly effect? No, it shouldn't be! After my rebirth, I shouldn't have affected Central Continent!" Fang Yuan calmed down and considered the possibilities.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan felt the world spin, and the scenery in front of him changed.

He was no longer on the mountaintop.

What appeared before him was a luxurious and elegant hall.

Golden bricks built the walls, silver bricks covered the floor, and there were pink tents, round beds, exquisite tables, chairs, and dressing tables adorned with pearls, agates, diamonds, and all sorts of gems.

The room was golden and resplendent, exuding the luxurious and elegant aura of the former owner, the Fox Immortal.

The setting confirmed Fang Yuan's previous guess: Feng Jinhuang had already become the master of the blessed land! He had arrived too late!

However, the person sitting in the fox-skin armchair made Fang Yuan's eyes widen.

"Qi Tian! How could it be Qi Tian! Oh, right, ever since I killed Jia Jinsheng, the Jia family merchant caravan arrived early, and everything changed. Qi Tian, this future Gu Immortal, was in that caravan, and his fate was altered. But I don't know what happened that led him to get the Fox Immortal Blessed Land that originally belonged to Feng Jinhuang." Though Fang Yuan had thought of many things, it all took only a moment.

At the same time, he recalled everything about Qi Tian and considered how to respond.

At that moment, Qi Tian spoke first, "Fang Yuan, is it? The last time we met at the Gu Yue Mountain stronghold, I wonder if you remember me. This is our first official meeting, no matter why you're here, shouldn't you at least get dressed?"

"…"

Fang Yuan smiled indifferently, not at all embarrassed by being naked. He turned and retrieved a spare set of clothes from the Dou Shuang flower.

He changed into a black robe.

On the surface, he remained calm, but in his heart, countless thoughts raced.

"He didn't directly capture me, so there's still room for retreat."

"In my previous life, even when I was still a mortal, I received a transmission from him (though Fang Yuan didn't know that the transmission was a setup by Qi Tian to infiltrate his body for the purpose of his will). I know a lot about him, and I can guess that he's a reincarnator from Earth. If he noticed the poem I made back at Gu Yue Mountain, he could also deduce my status as a reincarnator. Based on the situation at the time, he likely knows."

"Could it be that he's interested in my identity as a reincarnator? It should be more than that."

"I possess the Immortal Travel Immortal Gu, which allows me to use the Immortal Travel to come to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land. But for that, I need the images in the Blessed Land and Immortal Essence. This is not something a mere mortal could do. Is he cautious of the power behind me? Did he not act rashly, and instead came to test me first?"

"This reason makes more sense, looks like I need to seize this opportunity."

"But I don't know what changes happened in the Fox Immortal's inheritance battle. How did Qi Tian obtain the Blessed Land, and what role do the Ten Great Ancient Sects play in this? I hope he's not someone from the Ten Great Ancient Sects."

When Fang Yuan turned again, he already had a plan in mind.

He was composed and confident, not the least bit nervous or uneasy despite being in enemy territory.

Seeing this, Qi Tian couldn't help but praise him in his heart. Truly a five-hundred-year-old old demon!
