Immortal Gu were unique, Immortal Gu were the most fundamental.
After sovereign immortal aperture's Gu Immortals obtained Immortal Gu, they were also able to easily exchange for corresponding killer moves.
Even though they lost some dao marks, these gains were simply too immense, completely negating the flaw of fewer dao marks.
A moment later, the Green Lotus Gu Immortals ran with all their strength.
Only three rank eights escaped, the rest were all killed by Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch's group.
"Without a battlefield killer move, we cannot kill Gu Immortals efficiently." Bing Yuan sighed.
"Cannot kill efficiently?" The Yellow Earth Gu Immortals looked at the five corpses on the ground, their hearts beating wildly.
"Too timid, too timid!" Shi Zong sighed in pity: "They actually ran away, they are a disgrace to all rank eights!"
The Yellow Earth Gu Immortals looked at each other and transmitted secretly: "Even if I have rank eight cultivation level, I would have ran away in this situation too?"
"How can we face our master with just these results?" Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch gritted his teeth, making a decision: "Chase, we will pursue and kill them!!"
The Yellow Earth Gu Immortal were shocked, they quickly urged: "Everyone, don't be too rash. There are still a number of Green Lotus rank eight Gu Immortals, they did not join the battle."
"Indeed, we barely managed to win this fight, we should go on the defense instead."
"Green Lotus Great World has many Immortal Gu Houses with terrifying strength, many Gu Immortals were killed on the spot because of their rampage."
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch was completely unmoved, he looked at the Yellow Earth Gu Immortals indifferently: "We are the subordinates of Sage Gu Yue Fang Yuan, we only obey his orders. You can all stay and clean up the battlefield."
Be it the Immortal Gu or immortal apertures of these fallen Gu Immortals, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch's group did not take any.
That was Fang Yuan's order.
The Gu Immortals and Immortal Gu that belonged here were part of Limitless Demon Venerable's derivation results.
Killing these Gu Immortals would promote the fusion of the great worlds.
At the same time, in another battlefield.
Xiao He Jian and the rest arrived before Hei Liu Biao and Xue Li Du.
"So many reinforcements!"
"Wonderful, we're saved."
There were only two Yellow Earth Gu Immortals left.
"Be careful, these two are powerful rank eight experts from Savage Wilderness Great World, they are very strong!"
"They are specialized in…"
"Noisy!" Xiao He Jian took charge as the leader, he shouted and interrupted the advice of the Yellow Earth Gu Immortals.
This miniman Gu Immortal's eyes seemed to be glowing red, he pointed at the mountain-like six legged black tiger and shouted: "This guy belongs to me, I will fight anyone who contests with me!"
Roar—!
Hei Liu Biao was triggered: "Tiny little bug, you are going to die, I will kill you, no Gu Immortal had ever treated me with such an attitude!!"
Hei Liu Biao charged in a frenzy towards Xiao He Jian.
The Yellow Earth Gu Immortals were deeply scared and shocked.
"Numbers do not determine everything!" Xue Li Du also smiled coldly, charging into the Gu Immortal group.
Bam Bam Bam Bam…
An array of fireworks erupted, it was a beautiful sight.
Bam.
With a loud sound, Hei Liu Biao crashed onto the ground, creating a huge and deep crater.
It stared with wide eyes, struggling to get up.
Boom!
Xiao He Jian flew like a meteor, charging down.
Behind him were five to six rank eight Gu Immortals, they also attacked.
Bam bam bam bam!
The ground shook intensely, dust clouds rose, almost covering the rays of the sun.
With an intense wind that swept by, the dust clouds were dispersed.
The crater was even deeper now.
Hei Liu Biao was lying at the bottom of the crater, holding onto its last breath, its six tiger claws were twitching.
"I told you guys not to interfere!" Xiao He Jian shouted.
"On what basis?"
"Whoever kills it gets the contribution points!"
The other Gu Immortals shouted in retaliation.
Xiao He Jian rolled his eyes: "We all attacked, so who killed him? Who can be sure of it?"
"Easy, we can split up the contribution points. Whoever gets the largest part of the corpse will get the most points."
Nobody knew who was the one who suggested this.
But at the very next moment, the rank eight Gu Immortals flew down into the pit, splitting up the corpse of Hei Liu Biao.
"The leg is mine!"
"Hmph, I only got a tail! Give me back the butt."
"Head, this tiger head, hahaha, it is mine!"
The rank eight Gu Immortals shouted loudly, some were happy while others were dejected.
Those who did not get enough body parts directed their gaze towards snow wing eagle Xue Li Du.
But Xue Li Du had been killed already, it died even earlier than Hei Liu Biao.
The corpse was also completely split up between the Gu Immortals.
The Yellow Earth Gu Immortals watched in a daze.
Too brutal.
Too brutal!
Weren't these Gu Immortals the subordinates of the sage? Why were they so brutal?
Not only did they kill the Gu Immortal, they even dissected the corpse.
And they were so happy when dissecting the corpse?
Too brutal!
Too vicious!
Yellow Earth Great World was created by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, his ideal was to live in harmony and peace, emphasizing on unity and love. Even though Yellow Earth Great World had its own internal conflicts, the main trend had always been the same.
The action of Fang Yuan's subordinates was completely the opposite of Yellow Earth Great World, this was a huge contrast to the expectations of these Yellow Earth Gu Immortals.
"There are some Gu Immortals left." The rank eight Gu Immortals' eyes flashed.
But those rank seven Gu Immortals quickly shouted: "Before coming here, we already decided that the rank sevens belong to us. You rank eights already took the bulk of the gains, shouldn't you leave some to us?"
The rank eight Gu Immortals pouted: "Then hurry up, don't waste time! Otherwise, we will help you out and take a portion of the contribution points…"
"Wishful thinking!" The rank seven Gu Immortals quickly exerted effort and killed all of the Savage Wilderness Great World Gu Immortals in a moment's time.
"Hahaha, these Gu Immortals are so stupid, none of them ran away."
"Indeed, I was afraid that we lacked a battlefield killer move and could not stop them from escaping."
The Gu Immortals started to discuss heatedly.
The two Yellow Earth Gu Immortals looked at each other, they had peculiar expressions.
The Gu Immortals of Savage Wilderness Great World were combat maniacs, their ferocity was always the thing that made Yellow Earth Great World and Green Lotus Great World's Gu Immortals wary. Savage Wilderness Great World's Gu Immortals would rather fight to the death than retreat, they were courageous maniacs who did not care about their own lives when they were in combat.
But in the perspective of the sage's subordinates, they were stupid?
"How much did you snatch?"
"I only got this much."
"Heh, only? You earned a lot!"
"Hehe, it was all thanks to master who handed out such a lucrative mission."
The Gu Immortals collated their gains as they tossed away the corpses in their hands.
Fang Yuan had given specific instructions, be it immortal aperture, body, or Immortal Gu, they were all to be thrown away.
These subordinates did not dare to defy him.
Seeing the scattered corpses, the two Yellow Earth Gu Immortals' eyelids twitched.
If you were going to throw them away, why snatch them with such intensity earlier?
Was it just for fun?
What sort of monsters were these Gu Immortals!
The two Yellow Earth Gu Immortals who had just mustered up courage to express their gratitude instantly lost all motivation to do so.
They breathed in deeply and wanted to speak but suddenly, Xiao He Jian's group's expression changed.
"Master sent orders, we need to gather with the other group and attack Green Lotus Great World."
"Go, let's go! Don't let Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch's group gain the initiative."
Swoosh swoosh.
The Gu Immortals left rapidly in a hurry, leaving the two Yellow Earth Gu Immortals who stayed behind with a dazed expression on their faces.
They looked at the Gu Master battlefield that was still fighting (Yellow Earth Gu Masters were already moving forward and pursuing the enemies), they felt completely lost for words.
For some reason, they started to feel pity for the Green Lotus Great World's Gu Immortals.
Fang Yuan watched from afar, capturing the scenes of the two battlefields with his eyes.
After those Gu Immortal corpses landed on the ground, they were quickly absorbed into the world. Immortal apertures disintegrated rapidly, the Gu worms inside faced the same end, there was no winds of assimilation produced, no traces were left at all.
Fang Yuan was not feeling calm internally.
"This is the profundity of refinement path!"
"Except that Limitless Demon Venerable is not refining Immortal Gu, he is refining the entire world."
"If I want to become venerable on the path of refinement, this is an aspect that I lack as well!"
In his later years, Limitless Demon Venerable wanted to break free from Fate and obtain the way to attain eternal life, but he could not find an answer from Heavenly Court of that time.
Thus, he created Crazed Demon Cave, he decided to use his own method and derive the method of eternal life.
After all, fate Gu was still around back then, completely intact.
The unified great world that was formed in the end might be the result of his plan, it might contain the method of eternal life. And now, the fighting and slaughter of these Gu cultivators became the fuel and sacrifice for this derivation.
After understanding this, Fang Yuan would not take the corpses of these Gu Immortals or their Immortal Gu.
This huge battle between worlds was definitely going to have countless dead Gu cultivators, be it mortal or immortal.
As for how many could survive in the end? Would there be thousands, or just one person?
Nobody knew.
But so what if that was the case?
Be it Fang Yuan, Lu Wei Yin, Heavenly Court, and Longevity Heaven, they did not care about that answer.
They had their own objectives.
The Gu Immortals born here obeyed the orders of their sages, they fought and killed, using their lives and wits to resist the others, they were necessary sacrifices that were determined from the start.
Fang Yuan casted his gaze towards Green Lotus Great World, he saw that his army had gathered and invaded Green Lotus Great World.
"If an outsider Gu Immortal died here, what would happen?" Fang Yuan had a calm gaze as he watched with anticipation.
These Gu Immortals were just his pawns after all!
When it was time to sacrifice them, Fang Yuan would not be stingy to do so.
"But I should prevent unnecessary deaths if possible." Thinking so, Fang Yuan said to Lu Wei Yin: "Friend Lu, I would like you to go and help out my subordinates. If the situation turns dangerous, your life is the highest priority, you can ignore the rest if necessary."
Lu Wei Yin nodded and he flew away.
Fang Yuan's subordinates were so ferocious, Lu Wei Yin was quite pleased and surprised.
At the same time, he agreed with Fang Yuan's plan.
They were already behind to begin with, having such a large force, they had to work hard and catch up to the rest, to make up for their difference!
Savage Wilderness Great World.
Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace.
Bing Sai Chuan looked at the information path Immortal Gu on the table with a grim expression: "To think that Fang Yuan's force is so powerful, Hei Liu Biao and Xue Li Du are powerful rank eight experts in Savage Wilderness Great World, they actually died so easily."
"But now, Fang Yuan's two groups have gathered to attack Green Lotus Dao field."
Saying so, Bing Sai Chuan let out a breath of turbid air, feeling emotions of joy and gladness.
He was glad that he did not send reinforcements, because Heavenly Court sent more troops against Fang Yuan, he sent his army to find trouble with them.
-x-X-x-
"That's why I said we should continue with our previous plan, my deduction was not wrong." Heaven Extremity Gai Mei drank wine and ate snacks while saying shamelessly.
Bing Sai Chuan could not be bothered to retort him, he looked at the rest: "Fang Yuan has such a huge force, it is very unexpected. If he attacks us, we will land in a passive spot. Even though Savage Wilderness Great World has the most Gu Immortals, most of them have their own intentions, they do not obey orders. If we could unify and rule them, we would have been the number one world long ago, suppressing Heavenly Court."
Heaven Extremity rolled his eyes: "Don't you know the reason? That Yellow Earth Great World was the arrangement of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable to begin with. Green Lotus Great World is also created by Heavenly Court's Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable. Meanwhile, Savage Wilderness Great World was made by Reckless Savage Demon Venerable but our lord obtained it, without a proper relationship, how can we convince them?"
Bing Sai Chuan could not help but tap on the table: "Forget about the reason, let's try to deal with the current problem. Do you guys have any good ideas to recruit those savage Gu Immortals?"
Green Lotus Great World.
Once in a while, an information path Gu worm flew over.
Qin Ding Ling was frowning deeper.
"Fang Yuan's subordinates are so ferocious, in just half a day, not only did they defeat our main troops, they even invaded and broke three of our defense lines!"
"We've already lost close to twenty Gu Immortals, the defeated rank eight Gu Immortals have suffered huge injuries, they came to the mountain to seek an audience with the sage."
"Oh?" The third seat Fairy Ming Hao showed an expression of curiosity: "As expected of Fang Yuan I guess. To think that he is skilled at nurturing subordinates too."
After pausing for a moment, Fairy Ming Hao asked in a child-like voice: "This means to say that Longevity Heaven also sent more troops out?"
"Yes." Qin Ding Ling nodded: "After sensing that Fang Yuan gathered his groups to attack us, Longevity Heaven immediately sent more people to stall Lady Yu Xiu's group, this might be the scene that Fang Yuan wants to see."
Fairy Ming Hao laughed heartily: "Since they want to attack us, let them come. Withdraw our defense lines, let them come and attack us."
"Yes." Qin Ding Ling immediately ordered and reorganized the troops without a hint of questioning.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian moved unhindered, they charged all the way until the center of Green Lotus Great World, below the Sacred Mountain.
Looking at the mountain, they saw that it had a peculiar appearance.
The entire mountain was black and white, all of the mountain rocks looked like they were drawn with black lines and filled with patches of white paper.
All of the life forms on the mountain were also altered.
They were all white paper people that were drawn with black lines.
A tiny white paper person flew down from the mountain, after leaving the area of the Sacred Mountain, she turned back into flesh and blood, looking like a cute and innocent young girl.
Xiao He Jian and Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch looked at each other, feeling that the situation was not simple.
The latter half of their trip was unhindered, that made them uneasy already.
And after reaching the enemy's headquarters, they only sent one rank eight Gu Immortal.
This was Heavenly Court!
No matter how weak they became, they had those rank eight Gu Immortals who escaped earlier at least right?
Why did they send a little girl?
Even though Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian had surging momentum, they were already feeling uneasy internally.
This army was mainly made up of people from the two heavens' grotto-heavens.
They had spent most of their lives hiding in the grotto-heaven, living a life of trepidation and fear, afraid that the five regions' humans would discover them.
If Fang Yuan did not have such demonic might that suppressed them, and also with the huge increase in their strength and confidence during these few fights, they would not dare to attack with such intensity in their previous state.
"What do we do now?"
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian transmitted their thoughts, sending out one person to test the enemy's strength.
This Gu Immortal was Ke Xin Hong.
He cultivated poison path and was the strongest expert of the mushroomman Gu Immortals.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian did not choose their own members, they chose him instead.
After all, the mushroommen were the last group that joined Fang Yuan, they did not join the current major factions. Thus, as the seniors, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian worked together to target them.
And truthfully, many people were jealous of Ke Xin Hong recently.
He had the most envoy missions, he was almost the sole beneficiary of these missions that could gain huge rewards by just talking.
Many Gu Immortals were jealous.
Ke Xin Hong took in a deep breath, stepping forward and facing Fairy Ming Hao.
Brilliance shined in his eyes, he had soaring fighting spirit.
On one hand, after many envoy missions, he gained a lot of animosity from the rest, he needed to prove himself through combat. On the other hand, he wanted to use this chance to make a huge contribution, to make sure the mushroomman tribe was the number one faction in Fang Yuan's subordinate force, he would be able to protect his tribesmen in the future.
"Our mushroomman tribe joined master the latest, we are naturally ostracized by the senior members."
"Even though we want to establish a good relationship with Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian, it seems that master does not want to see that."
"Why did master give me envoy missions time and again, he might not have planned this from the start, but as time went on, his intentions became increasingly deep."
"Master has a total of two factions under him, they are the variant humans and the humans. There are fewer humans, forget about them now. There are far more variant humans instead, led by Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian, these two groups are getting larger and more influential, as time passes, they will definitely clash over benefits, because of their large influence, master will not be able to control them easily."
"Thus, from the start, master did not want us mushroommen to join them. The reason why master gave me envoy missions time and again is to help our mushroomman tribe gain power and sow discord between the variant human forces."
Ke Xin Hong sighed internally.
The longer he joined Fang Yuan, the more he felt Fang Yuan's unfathomably deep schemes, as well as his experienced political skills and methods.
Ke Xin Hong had already expected Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian to ostracize him in such situations.
He calmed his mind and collected all his scattered thoughts, he gathered his spirits and looked at the young girl, cupping his fists: "I am Ke Xin Hong, I would like to exchange pointers with you."
The young girl smiled: "I am Fairy Ming Hao, Ke Xin Hong, I know about you, is your poison path method used like this?"
Saying so, Ming Hao moved her tiny arm as poisonous fluid flew out.
Each lump of yellowish brown poisonous fluid flew into the air and turned into a goose.
Soon, an army of poisonous geese danced around in the sky, changing their formation constantly.
Ke Xin Hong was shook internally: "This is my uniquely created method, why can she use it?"
"Is she also a poison path Gu Immortal?"
"But why can she use my unique method?"
Ke Xin Hong stabilized his mind: "Fairy Ming Hao, that is an amazing method, but this move has a variation move, watch."
Saying so, Ke Xin Hong used the same poison path killer move.
After the geese were formed, they cried out as poison seeped out wherever their voices reached.
Ming Hao's eyes shined, she moved her poisonous geese to fight them as she observed carefully.
After a few breaths of time, she smiled and laughed: "So that's how it is, look, is this how the move works?"
Saying so, she activated Ke Xin Hong's variation move and caused her own geese group to cry out as well.
"What?!" This time, not only was Ke Xin Hong shocked, even the other subordinates were shook.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian thought to themselves: "This immortal is very strange, she can mimic other people's killer moves. But she only has rank eight cultivation level, our army is huge, how can we falter to one person?"
The two of them had similar thoughts, they immediately ordered and led the other immortals to get around Ming Hao and attack the Sacred Mountain behind her.
Fairy Ming Hao sighed: "Oh you guys, can't you play along? Why are you in such a rush?"
Saying so, her aura surged as she resonated with the Sacred Mountain behind her.
Next, the Sacred Mountain made of black lines and white paper shot out profound lights that had countless killer moves flying out of them.
Fang Yuan's subordinates were busy resisting the attacks.
Bam bam bam…
After an intense clash of killer moves, Fang Yuan's subordinates' attacks were all dealt with.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian showed expressions of shock.
"What killer move is this? It can actually mimic all of the killer moves that we used earlier?!"
"This mountain is not normal, it is not just a famous mountain, it is a secluded domain of heaven and earth!"
"Is this the legendary Book Mountain recorded in <
Fairy Ming Hao chuckled: "This killer move was casually created by me, it uses humility Gu as the core, it is called humble reciprocation. This move can use the information recorded on Book Mountain to deduce and unleash the killer moves that you use. Every killer move that you use is a present for me. Thank you very much."
"Is that really Book Mountain?"
"Humble reciprocation? That is clearly a human path killer move."
Fang Yuan's subordinates were shook internally, they attacked again.
But Fairy Ming Hao unleashed humble reciprocation killer move again, dealing with all of their offenses.
Fang Yuan had many subordinates but they were all stopped by one person.
"Master often told me that a lack of reciprocation is a lack of proper manners. After receiving so many gifts, I should return the favor. Take these." Fairy Ming Hao raised the intensity of her attacks.
The attacks came in waves, they were hard to block.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian had to use their full strength to defend and retreat.
At the crucial moment, a muddy yellowish light shot out and blocked most of the attacks, helping Fang Yuan's subordinates stabilize their footing.
It was Lu Wei Yin who had helped.
Fairy Ming Hao casted her gaze and smiled: "You are the current generation Paradise Earth's inheritor? You finally showed yourself?"
Lu Wei Yin frowned deeply, bowing at Fairy Ming Hao: "Greetings to Fairy Ming Hao, I wonder what is your relationship with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable?"
Fairy Ming Hao blinked cheekily: "Make a guess?"
Saying so, she stretched out her tiny finger and pointed at Lu Wei Yin.
Boom!
A five pointed starlight speck shot out with intense speed, once it was activated, it arrived before Lu Wei Yin.
Lu Wei Yin's expression did not change, he did not dodge either.
The starlight speck arrived before him and got blocked by a yellowish light wall, turning into nothingness.
Lu Wei Yin sensed something from this as he raised his brows, saying with peculiarity: "Carefree Wisdom Heart?"
-x-X-x-
"You are quite perceptive." Fairy Ming Hao smiled.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Around her, starlight specks continued to shoot out towards Lu Wei Yin.
Lu Wei Yin flew up against the attack and started to engage in battle.
Initially, he was able to fight evenly with Fairy Ming Hao. But soon, he started to get suppressed.
Fairy Ming Hao only used the flying stars to attack her enemy.
Initially, she shot out the flying stars one by one, but soon, they started to shoot out in groups of three, five, or even ten at once.
The power of her flying stars did not increase, but Lu Wei Yin faced increased pressure when they landed on him!
"These flying stars are very profound, this seems to be an endless consecutive move! I am going to face greater and greater pressure as time passes." Lu Wei Yin had a grim expression as he felt fatigue in defending himself.
Both sides only fought for some time, Lu Wei Yin had to retreat as he fought, Fairy Ming Hao had the complete advantage.
Each time she waved her hand, a large cloud of fragmented starlight specks flew out.
Each time the stars shot out, their quantity rose, they were already over a hundred in number.
Starlight shined as the stars moved in the air, the sound of air getting pierced was unceasing, it was a dazzling sight.
"This Ming Hao cultivates wisdom path and star path, she definitely has pseudo venerable battle strength. I should retreat for now!" Lu Wei Yin had intentions of retreating.
Fang Yuan also gave out orders to retreat at the appropriate time, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and the rest let out a sigh of relief as they quickly backed out.
Fairy Ming Hao smiled: "You all came here to seek death, why don't you stay here for good?"
Fairy Ming Hao attacked the immortals.
"Don't even think about it!" Lu Wei Yin blocked her.
Fairy Ming Hao chuckled, a mysterious light flashed in her eyes, shooting towards Lu Wei Yin's forehead.
Lu Wei Yin felt an indescribable change in his mind, he only had the capacity to store up half of his original thoughts.
At the same time, when his thoughts moved, they became much faster but each time, they would stop preemptively. It seemed like all of his remaining thoughts became 'rash', they collided impatiently, trying to deduce the results more quickly.
Lu Wei Yin fell into a predicament immediately.
When using killer moves, he needed to mobilize thoughts.
The more killer moves he used or the more complex they were, the more thoughts he would need to use.
But now that he had only half his thoughts left, he could not think as easily as before. More importantly, even when these thoughts collided, they would resolve in advance, he could not get the most useful result that he wanted.
This was quite fatal.
Once Lu Wei Yin's thoughts end preemptively when he activates a killer move, towards the end when he prepares his killer move, it would end up in failure.
With the killer move activation failing, Lu Wei Yin would suffer a heavy backlash himself.
"Such an incredible wisdom path method!!" Lu Wei Yin was helpless, he could only defend himself, he could not care about the rest.
Fairy Ming Hao grasped the absolute advantage, she immediately ordered the rank eight Gu Immortals of the Sacred Mountain to move out and chase after Fang Yuan's subordinates and kill them.
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian retreated with huge losses.
Along the way, they lost nine Gu Immortals, among which three were rank eight Gu Immortals.
The immortal apertures of these Gu Immortals landed on the ground and got absorbed by Green Lotus Great World, their Immortal Gu were also quickly dissolved.
When the Gu Immortals died, their obsession was left behind but Fang Yuan did not see the birth of any land spirit or heavenly spirit.
After Fang Yuan's subordinates returned to Yellow Earth Great World, Fairy Ming Hao judged the situation and stopped her advances.
Lu Wei Yin led the immortals to meet Fang Yuan, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian quickly knelt down and sought for forgiveness.
But Fang Yuan consoled them amicably: "This loss is not your fault. I could tell clearly that this Fairy Ming Hao had outstanding strength, she possesses pseudo venerable battle strength. To think that this place could nurture an expert of such a level."
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and the rest were relieved, they started to calm down.
While retreating, they were all worried that Fang Yuan would be enraged and kill them all to vent his anger.
After that, Fang Yuan sent out these Gu Immortals to be stationed at all the various defense lines of Yellow Earth Great World. The emphasis of their defense was on the boundary and connection points of Yellow Earth Great World and the two other great worlds, Green Lotus Great World, and Savage Wilderness Great World.
"I am ashamed. To think that Heavenly Court actually has such a female immortal, she possesses an incredible combat system, I am not her match." Lu Wei Yin said with an expression of guilt.
Fang Yuan also consoled him.
Fang Yuan knew that Lu Wei Yin had already used his full strength at this point.
After all, in the previous fight, he had worked with Lu Wei Yin to fight against Spectral Soul and Heavenly Court, it was a near death situation, during that time, Lu Wei Yin had no way of concealing his strength if he wanted to live.
When fighting against Fairy Ming Hao, Lu Wei Yin had already used all of the methods that Fang Yuan knew he had. Yet, he was still not the enemy's match.
"Since this is war, there will be sacrifices. Maybe in the future, you and I might lose our lives too. This is the world of the Gu Immortals, we do not need to harp on it." Fang Yuan was quite satisfied with this result.
The conclusion was that Fang Yuan's losses were smaller than Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven. This was considered a victory.
Furthermore, Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian even forced someone like Fairy Ming Hao to take action, Fang Yuan gained useful information about her.
Fang Yuan nurtured Gu Immortals for the purpose of sacrificing them to begin with.
If these cannon fodder could display their value, it would not be his loss.
"The biggest pity is that Lord Fang Yuan lost many Immortal Gu." Lu Wei Yin added: "But now, Northern Plains' Paradise Earth true inheritance is right before us, lord might have something to gain from it."
Lu Wei Yin was referring to Paradise Earth's Sacred Tomb.
Even without his explanation, when Fang Yuan sent him on this mission, he had already done his investigations.
"The tomb of Paradise Earth contains extraordinary profundity, I have not gotten any useful leads yet."
Fang Yuan said frankly before asking: "Do you know anything?"
Lu Wei Yin smiled bitterly: "I am ashamed, I know nothing about it."
Fang Yuan nodded and said: "The wisdom path killer move that hit you earlier was the key that resulted in your loss, what do you think about it?"
This wisdom path killer move was too powerful, since it was exposed already, Fang Yuan wanted to create a counter for it.
Lu Wei Yin thought about it and said with uncertainty: 'It seems that the core Immortal Gu of that move is… pride Gu?"
Fang Yuan nodded again: "That is what I deduced as well."
Lu Wei Yin took in a deep breath of cold air: "Fairy Ming Hao is not a simple person. She possesses the Carefree Wisdom Heart Physique, she also has humility Gu and pride Gu, this reminds me of the description within <
"According to what I know, there is no such person in the history of Heavenly Court, and she seems to have a deep connection with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable."

Ren Zu and Great Strength True Martial went through great hurdles and finally arrived before Qian Kun Crystal Wall.
Qian Kun Crystal Wall was straight and stood upright in the void, it was like a huge mirror that reflected everything that happened in the world.
Ren Zu and Great Strength True Martial went inside Qian Kun Crystal Wall.
Numerous flowers, birds, fish and insects converged into a colorful dazzling shadow that filled Great Strength True Martial's vision. The sound of the waves, thunder, and birds' singing in his ears rippled together, there was a fresh, sweet, exciting, spicy taste dancing on his tongue. At times, he felt like he was walking on a steep mountain path, at other times he felt like he was swimming in the waves, and at other times he felt as if he was falling from a great height.
"Father, father! Where are you?" Great Strength True Martial shouted.
But Ren Zu could not hear Great Strength True Martial, he could not see Great Strength True Martial, the color of white filled his vision, it was boundless and vast.
"Oh son, where are you?" Ren Zu sprinted, wanting to find Great Strength True Martial.
Ren Zu ran and ran and ran, after a long time, he saw a black dot at the furthest point within his vision.
Initially, he felt happy and thought it was Great Strength True Martial. But when he approached the black dot, he found that it was actually a huge mountain.
This mountain was very special, the mountain rocks and vegetation were made of white paper, the streams and waterfalls were made of black ink.
This was Book Mountain.
At the foot of Book Mountain, there was a village with many inkmen living in it.
Ren Zu went into the village, causing a huge commotion to arise.
"This is really a rare sight." The inkman spoke: "When ordinary lifeforms enter Qian Kun Crystal Wall, they would get lost after a few steps, they cannot resist the allure of the material world or the countless temptations within it, they can never reach here. You are the first person to arrive here."
Ren Zu was confused: "Why so?"
The inkman elder replied: "Oh human, you are only left with a skeleton, you cannot see, hear, taste, smell, or touch, it allowed you to roam Qian Kun Crystal Wall freely without losing your life."
Qian Kun Crystal Wall existed when the world was first created, it reflected everyone and everything, it contained all the secrets of the world's past and present. Once a person enters it, they would face the barrage of endless information, after some time, they would die from information overload.
After Ren Zu heard this, he felt very worried about Great Strength True Martial, he asked the inkman elder about the way to survive, the elder thus brought Ren Zu to ascend the mountain.
On Book Mountain, there was a largest ink waterfall, and below it was a deep pool.
The inkmen called this pool literature spring.
The ink waterfall continued to flow as it landed on the literature spring, water splashed about. These black color splashes flew in the air as the water droplets formed into ink texts.
"If a person wants to continue living in Qian Kun Crystal Wall, the ink text will be your best helper. The reason why we inkmen can live here is also because of the ink text." The inkman elder told Ren Zu about this big secret.
Ren Zu received the inkman's advice, he collected a lot of ink texts and left the mountain.
Every time he walked for some distance, he would leave behind some ink texts as reference points.
In this vast world of whiteness, the pitch black ink text became very conspicuous. Even though ink
texts faded over time, using them, Ren Zu no longer walked on unnecessary trails, he eventually found Great Strength True Martial.
Great Strength True Martial received Ren Zu's ink texts, every step he walked, he would leave behind some ink texts.
The ink texts recorded the information that barraged Great Strength True Martial, turning them all into pieces of literary work. These literary pieces turned into pieces of tiles that were layered below Great Strength True Martial's feet.
Great Strength True Martial was finally free, his eyes were not blurry, his ears were not buzzing, he could no longer smell the mix of countless fragrances as well.
Stepping on these tiles, he followed Ren Zu back to the inkman village.
Ren Zu asked the inkman elder again: "Oh elder, how can I find wisdom Gu inside Qian Kun Crystal Wall?"
-x-X-x-
"The inkman elder told Ren Zu: "Even though wisdom Gu often stays within Qian Kun Crystal Wall, it is hidden very deeply. To find it, you will need to venture deep into the crystal wall, it will not be possible with just ink texts and the tiles that are formed below your feet. These tiles only record all sorts of information on the superficial level, with the endless barrage of other information the limited ink texts within the tiles will change in content, they will disappear quickly and cannot last for long."
The inkman elder said again: "Oh human, you need to turn all the information into knowledge. Only with knowledge can you explain information clearly, you will be able to write them down in words, "
"allowing you to create a real path instead of just tiles made of texts."
Ren Zu was troubled: "How can I turn them into knowledge?"
The inkman elder laughed: "There are many bookworms on Book Mountain, they record the knowledge that our inkman seniors have left behind. Oh human, you can go look at them."
"It is not difficult to gather the knowledge yourself either. Firstly, you need memory Gu to store all of this information inside your mind. Next..."
Before the inkman finished his words, cognition Gu appeared, saying to Ren Zu: "After that, I can help you to refine knowledge."
The inkman elder nodded with a smile: "Indeed, cognition can produce knowledge."
Ren Zu: "Then I will thank you all in advance."
"The inkman elder shook his head: "No need to stand on ceremony."
Cognition Gu: "Don't say that human. We have always been good friends, and this situation benefits myself as well."
If cognition did not take in new information, it would quickly get outdated. Only by receiving new information and thinking about it could cognition create useful new thoughts that were healthy and vibrant, innovative and lively.
Ren Zu gathered many bookworms on Book Mountain, he obtained a lot of new information.
Next, with cognition Gu's help, he created many new knowledge from the vast amount of information.
He used ink texts to write down his knowledge, scattering them on the ground and creating a black path made of ink texts.
Ren Zu and Great Strength True Martial walked on this path, they walked for a long time, far longer than any of their previous trips.
"Oh no, I don't have enough knowledge left." Ren Zu walked to the end of the path, feeling very dejected and upset. He had gathered many ink texts but the knowledge in his mind was insufficient already.
Ren Zu and Great Strength True Martial's first attempt failed, they had to return to Book Mountain.
Great Strength True Martial continued to collect ink texts while Ren Zu gathered all the bookworms, with cognition Gu's help, he refined even more knowledge from them.
With more and more knowledge, Ren Zu found that his mind was getting filled up.
"I have too much knowledge now." Ren Zu was very satisfied, he said confidently: "Let's go, I am sure we can reach the deepest part of Qian Kun Crystal Wall this time!"
However, they still failed in their second attempt.
"Why did this happen? My mind was already filled with knowledge." Ren Zu said dejected: "This is all the knowledge I can hold."
"No, oh human, look closely again." Self Gu suddenly spoke to remind him.
Ren Zu inspected his mind, he found a Gu hiding inside it.
Ren Zu realized at once: "So you are occupying my mind, preventing me from getting more knowledge. What Gu are you?"
The Gu answered: "I am pride Gu."
Ren Zu said anxiously: "Can you hurry and get out, you are occupying such a huge area, I want to fill the place with knowledge instead."
But no matter how anxious Ren Zu was, or how he urged, pride Gu refused to leave.
When Ren Zu was out of ideas, Great Strength True Martial spoke: "Oh father, don't be anxious. Don't forget that I still have humility Gu. I will give it to you."
Great Strength True Martial took out humility Gu and gave it to Ren Zu.
Pride Gu was chased away by humility Gu, it had to fly out of Ren Zu's mind and land on Great Strength True Martial instead.
Strong Gu was very happy: "The strong have their own pride!"
After Ren Zu chased pride Gu away from his mind, he returned to Book Mountain to continue gaining knowledge.
"After Ren Zu gained humility Gu, he realized that the more knowledge he had, the more he found "
that he was lacking knowledge, and the more he wanted to fill his mind with even more knowledge.
Ren Zu's mind was quickly filled.
Self Gu urged him: "Oh human, stop now, your mind is already full of knowledge."
But Ren Zu replied: "But I think that it is insufficient, I am certain that I still do not know a lot of things, I need to continue gaining knowledge."
Ren Zu continued to refine his knowledge, his mind was getting bloated, it was hurting and could not hold anymore information, but humility Gu made him feel like he was still lacking in knowledge.
Suddenly, there was a loud boom.
Eventually, Ren Zu's mind could not take it anymore, it exploded from an overload of knowledge."
The knowledge scattered on the ground as a little girl stood up from within.
"Father, father." The little girl hugged Ren Zu's leg happily: "My name is Carefree Wisdom Heart, I am your daughter."
...
Northern Plains.
Sincerity grassland.
Chen Cheng was dressed in green, his arms were crossed behind his back as he stood arrogantly upright.
He stared at the foreign female immortal before him as he shouted: "Who are you? Why did you request to meet me here?"
The female immortal standing before him wore a half-mask covered her nose, mouth and cheeks, only revealing the upper half of her face which "
showed her strong contours, sharp and long brows, bright eyes and a heroic aura.
She wore a dark gold armor that covered her whole body, bringing a heavy feeling of suppression on any that looked at it, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"You can address me as Fairy Black Moon." This female immortal said.
"Fairy Black Moon?" Chen Cheng raised his brows: "Where are you from?"
Now that the five regions were merged, Gu Immortals no longer had region specific auras, that was why Chen Cheng asked the question."
Fairy Black Moon smiled lightly: "My identity and origin are not important. Chen Cheng, you are called the Sincerity Immortal, you cultivate rule path. Back then, you had an agreement with your friend, the loser in the battle would recognize the winner as their owner and assist them. Do you remember this?"
Chen Cheng's pupils shrank as he frowned: "I was young and arrogant then, I did not know what that truly meant, that was why the agreement was made. I was still a mere Gu Master back then, who are you exactly? You know such an obscure secret!"
Fairy Black Moon smiled coldly: "I'm only asking you, Chen Cheng, is this agreement still effective?"
Saying so, she took out a token.
Chen Cheng received it as his expression changed again: "This token is real, where did you get it? What relationship do you have with my friend?"
Fairy Black Moon said again: "I said these are not important."
Chen Cheng took a deep breath, he said with a solemn expression: "I understand now, you want us to have a fight, if you win, you will make me your servant! Since you took the initiative to find me, I am sure you are confident in your own strength. But I need to remind you, even though I am a lone cultivator, after roaming Northern Plains for so many years, I have gathered many trump cards. If you win this battle, I will acknowledge you as my master. But if you lose, I will be your master!"
Fairy Black Moon laughed heartily: "Everyone calls you the Sincerity Immortal, someone who keeps his words and promises. After meeting you, it seems that this is true after all. Let's fight!"
Chen Cheng was furious: "Regardless of who you are, today, I will see what you are capable of!"
At the next moment, thunder rumbled as the battle of two immortals ensued.
Inside the sovereign immortal aperture.
He Chun Qiu was taking charge of Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool.
Splash splash splash.
The water of time moved erratically, creating the mesmerizing sound of waves.
A rank eight Immortal Gu was quickly forming, landing in He Chun Qiu's hands.
"Good, all of the destroyed rank eight Immortal Gu have been refined successfully." He Chun Qiu nodded, feeling satisfied about the progress.
Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool had the ability of Regret Pool, any Immortal Gu that it refined would have an insignia left behind. When the Immortal Gu is destroyed, Four Elements Square Regret Blood Refinement Pool would use the power of the tributary of the River of Time together with the insignia to refine the Immortal Gu again, the success rate would be higher than refining a new rank eight Immortal Gu normally!
When Fairy Ming Hao forced Fang Yuan's subordinates to retreat earlier, Lu Wei Yin expressed his pity over the destroyed Immortal Gu.
But he did not know that Fang Yuan's refinement path methods were unimaginably powerful, in just a few days, he refined all three rank eight Immortal Gu that were destroyed in that battle.
But Fang Yuan was still not satisfied with his current refinement path attainment.
Several days had passed since Ming Hao defeated Lu Wei Yin and the rest.
These days, the three worlds were quiet and safe, battle had stopped, there was temporary peace.
Since it was not time for the actual fight yet, Fang Yuan used this time to comprehend the profundity of the place.
He had already investigated Paradise Earth's tomb, there were countless dao marks distributed in it, the structure was complex and profound, the scale was immense, he could not unravel it in a short time.
Fang Yuan spent most of his energy on the countless big and small worlds here, trying to comprehend the refinement path profundity that they contained.
"Sage, Savage Wilderness Great World's envoy seeks your audience." At this time, a Yellow Earth Gu Immortal reported respectfully.
"It's Bing Sai Chuan." Lu Wei Yin came over as well, bringing accurate information with him.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly: "It is about time they came here."
Earlier, the loss of Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian was actually part of Fang Yuan's scheme.
Even though Heavenly Court lost to him before, Fang Yuan had never underestimated their foundation.
Heavenly Court placed a huge focus on Crazed Demon Cave, they even brought Divine Emperor City over, how could Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and Xiao He Jian defeat Heavenly Court?
With the current situation, even though Longevity Heaven, Heavenly Court, and Fang Yuan had one of the three great worlds each, Heavenly Court was still the dominant party.
The three sides were contesting but there was still the strongest and weakest side among them.
Together with Bing Sai Chuan taking the initiative to cooperate with Fang Yuan during the fate war, after Lu Wei Yin and the rest returned in defeat, Fang Yuan waited patiently for Bing Sai Chuan's envoy to come.
It was just that Bing Sai Chuan, one of the Four Desolation Immortals, actually came here personally.
It showed Longevity Heaven's sincerity right away.
"Friend Fang Yuan, have you been well?" Bing Sai Chuan smiled.
But Fang Yuan's expression was cold: "I am working together with Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable to help him revive. Bing Sai Chuan, it is really unwise that your Longevity Heaven wants to cooperate with us. After all, when the time is ripe and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable revives, our strength will rise sharply, we can even suppress Heavenly Court."
"This..." Bing Sai Chuan's expression froze immediately.
-x-X-x-
The purpose of Bing Sai Chuan's visit was obvious, he wanted to work with Fang Yuan and resist Heavenly Court.
Fang Yuan did not want to waste time, he directly stated the obstruction towards their cooperation instead.
Paradise Earth's tomb was huge as a mountain, Longevity Heaven and Heavenly Court knew about it long ago.
The reason why they attacked Yellow Earth Great World earlier was also because of this.
Bing Sai Chuan was a rank eight expert renowned in history after all, he laughed, the stiffness on his face vanished at once: "Fang Yuan, do you know where this Book Mountain originates from?"
Fang Yuan had a thought: "Book Mountain is not originally an arrangement of Heavenly Court?"
Bing Sai Chuan nodded: "Indeed, that is so. Book Mountain was originally in the ninth layer of Crazed Demon Cave, but because of Heavenly Court's immense foundation in wisdom path, they comprehended a portion of the profundity and took out Book Mountain from the ninth layer in advance."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan did not acknowledge nor reject the answer.
But Lu Wei Yin's expression changed.
This was something that the Gu Immortals of Yellow Earth Great World did not know of.
After all, it happened deep within Green Lotus Great World.
"Heavenly Court has such a method? They have already started comprehending the ninth layer and even managed to bring out Book Mountain? Did Limitless Demon Venerable's retaliative method not activate?"
Bing Sai Chuan sighed deeply: "If it worked, we would not have come here so urgently to seek an alliance."
Fang Yuan replied in a solemn tone: "Did you see Star Constellation Immortal Venerable?"
Bing Sai Chuan shook his head: "Not even once."
Fang Yuan asked again: "Then what is the relationship between Fairy Ming Hao and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable?"
Bing Sai Chuan replied honestly: "Since the arrangement of Limitless Demon Venerable exists, until the right opportunity arises, we will not use our full strength, thus, we did not force Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to show herself. But Heavenly Court had three female immortals that appeared, they all possess pseudo venerable battle strength, Fairy Ming Hao is one of them."
"These three female immortals are Ming Hao, Yu Xiu, and Feng Ya respectively, they cultivate wisdom path with star path secondarily. Your side has already seen Fairy Ming Hao's strength, Fairy Yu Xiu is stronger than her, days ago when we fought, our side had to send reinforcements to stall them and form a stalemate."
"As for Fairy Feng Ya, she seems to be even stronger but she has never taken action, she has been secluded in Crazed Demon Cave to comprehend the ninth layer profundity. Book Mountain is the fruit of her labor."
Lu Wei Yin could not help but sigh: "Heavenly Court is the number one force in the world after all, their foundation is unfathomably deep. After Duke Long died, they lacked pseudo venerable battle strength, but to think that three of them were hidden in Crazed Demon Cave! This shows the importance Heavenly Court is placing on Crazed Demon Cave."
Bing Sai Chuan added: "Other than these three pseudo venerables, there are also rank eight elites like Qin Ding Ling. In addition, regarding the forces they have out in the open, there are Divine Emperor City, Demon Judgment Board, and Heaven Overseeing Tower. With Heavenly Court's foundation, it will not be strange for them to bring out more Immortal Gu Houses."
Lu Wei Yin gritted his teeth: "Heavenly Court even transferred a portion of the immortal graveyard into Crazed Demon Cave, this immortal graveyard was created here by using the Tomb Earth they collected. At the crucial moment, the immortal graveyard's slumbering experts in history would awaken, they have terrifying strength too."
"Precisely so." Bing Sai Chuan concluded: "Fang Yuan and Lu Wei Yin, both our sides need to cooperate. Otherwise, how can we force Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to show up? How can we defeat three pseudo venerables? How can we ensure the revival of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable?"
Bing Sai Chuan's intention was obvious.
Heavenly Court's advantage was too great, if they were not stopped in time, even before Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable revives, Heavenly Court would have won already!
Thus, there was a need for them to work together.
Lu Wei Yin looked at Fang Yuan, who nodded slightly, agreeing to this cooperation.
Longevity Heaven seemed to have no fear regarding Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's revival, they were very confident in themselves, their trump cards were definitely not few. But currently, with Heavenly Court in the lead, they had to do something to slow them down.
Savage Wilderness Great World and Yellow Earth Great World stopped fighting between themselves, they sent out troops to attack Green Lotus Great World together.
Even though there was cooperation with Longevity Heaven, the extent was quite limited.
Fang Yuan suggested that they should exchange true inheritances. He wanted to use venerable true inheritances of equal value to exchange for Longevity Heaven's luck path true inheritance of Giant Sun.
Bing Sai Chuan rejected him with a polite tone but his attitude was firm.
Fang Yuan also suggested that they should exchange immortal materials. He wanted rank nine luck path immortal materials but Bing Sai Chuan rejected him as well.
Fang Yuan's force had already inflated to this level, when he sent out his subordinates earlier, even Bing Sai Chuan was completely stunned from their collective strength.
Bing Sai Chuan and the rest had a strong opinion against Spectral Soul and Red Lotus! To help Fang Yuan destroy fate Gu, they had truly given him too much help.
In just these few days, Fang Yuan's force had already grown to this terrifying level!
And what about his own strength?
How much had he grown until now?
In this situation, how could Longevity Heaven make a transaction with Fang Yuan? Wouldn't that be helping his growth?!
Due to the cooperation of Fang Yuan and Longevity Heaven, the situation changed greatly.
But Heavenly Court seemed to have predicted this, even though the two sides attacked with their full strength, they were still defending themselves firmly.
At times, when the defensive lines were about to break, Fairy Ming Hao and Yu Xiu would take action personally, either maintaining Heavenly Court's position by forcing enemy Gu Immortals to retreat, or using the battle opportunity to invade Savage Wilderness Great World and Yellow Earth Great World instead, causing huge destruction and countless deaths.
Fang Yuan also saw Fairy Yu Xiu's strength for the first time.
Fairy Yu Xiu had an exceptional combat system. Her attacking methods were very special, they relied on the difference between the two sides' attainment level. The bigger the difference, the stronger the attacks.
Ever since the first time they reached the base of Book Mountain, Fang Yuan's subordinates made no such advancement again.
Like this, the three sides fought with each other, the situation was in a deadlock, days went by one by one.
A large number of Gu cultivators died, their sacrifice made the three worlds grow larger with an increasing number of stable dao marks. The more Gu cultivators died in this place, the more the boundaries of the three great worlds faded, and the larger the area which the worlds were connected to became.
On this day, at the peak of Book Mountain.
Fairy Yu Xiu gathered the Heavenly Court immortals, she spoke: "Right now, Fang Yuan and Longevity Heaven have cooperated, this is giving us huge pressure. Our immortal graveyard has a backup hidden force but Fang Yuan's Wu Shuai clone has not shown up yet, Longevity Heaven is also hiding their strength."
"Since the situation is now in a deadlock with all three sides wary of each other, the small worlds around the three great worlds will be the key to our victory."
"These small worlds might be weak but they still have Gu Immortals. If we can get them to join us, we will gain an advantage in the fight between the three forces."
During this time, Fang Yuan and Longevity Heaven cooperated, managing to suppress Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Court was losing more and more members.
Zhou Xiong Xin sighed: "These small worlds are easy to defend but hard to attack, even though we tried many times and are able to win by force, very few Gu Immortals decided to join us sincerely."
Prince Feng Xian added: "These Gu Immortal inhabitants lack sufficient intelligence, they are very stubborn as well, most of them bear animosity towards the three great worlds. They think that fusing their world into the great worlds would cause the destruction of their homeland, they hold a firm attitude."
"Thus," Fairy Yu Xiu smiled: "I will hold a lesson at the peak of Book Mountain to teach the countless masses. Any Gu cultivator, mortal or immortal, can join this session."
"How will you do that?" Wan Zi Hong asked.
Fairy Yu Xiu explained the details, Heavenly Court's immortals had changes of expressions.
"Lady Yu Xiu has such an incredible method? We are truly in admiration!"
"In that case, we will not have to worry about these Gu cultivators not joining us sincerely."
"These lowly Gu cultivators actually have such a great fortune to be able to get a Dao lesson from Lady Yu Xiu, this is too good for them."
"Haha, they are all just cannon fodder, they will be sacrificed in the end, there is no harm in doing this."
Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals discussed among themselves, the atmosphere slowly became relaxed.
Divine Emperor City.
Qi howling painting world.
A group of beggars stood around Fang Di Chang, facing a huge elephant.
The huge elephant was pure white in color, its four legs stomped on the ground, it was unmoving like a sturdy mountain.
The beggars were in a stalemate for a long time, their morale was falling, they started to feel like they could not resist this huge elephant.
Fang Di Chang was frowning deeply: "This qi monster is made from righteous qi, the longer we fight it, the more disadvantageous it is for us."
Qi monsters had all sorts of shapes and sizes they were not fixed, they could be made from all kinds of qi, having varying temperament and strength.
For example, qi monsters made of domination qi would be domineering, qi monsters made from death qi would love to be in places filled with many deaths. Qi monsters made of life qi would have strong recovery abilities, while qi monsters made from luck qi would be hard to kill, once they were killed, the benefits to the Gu cultivator would not be small.
Even though Fang Di Chang was Fang Yuan's clone and shared his attainment level, he had lost his body and soul. With just his will left, he resided within the human path beggar Gu.
Thus, he could not resist this white elephant made of righteous qi.
But thankfully, the righteous qi white elephant was not rampaging, it did not make a move in the end, only staring at the beggars.
"I have arrived!" Shen Shang finally fought his way to them.
After finishing off his earlier opponent quickly, he came to help out Fang Di Chang.
He fought against a group of blood qi monsters earlier, he was bathed in blood.
Fang Di Chang immediately sighed in relief as he made the beggars fall back and let Shen Shang in.
Shen Shang fought against the white elephant using human path methods.
This rank eight Gu Immortal was indeed the human path quasi-supreme grandmaster chosen by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, he quickly gained the upper hand.
But right when he was about to finish off the elephant, the ground started to shake.
Rumble…
About ten thousand bull shaped qi monsters stampeded together while creating huge dust clouds behind them.
Shen Shang and Fang Di Chang's expressions changed.
The righteous qi elephant screeched in fear as it escaped in panic.
Shen Shang did not bother with it, he grabbed Fang Di Chang and quickly ran in another direction.
The stampede of countless bulls was like a tsunami that swept heaven and earth, it could not be stopped.
Shen Shang and Fang Di Chang managed to escape with their lives, they watched as the bulls charged away.
"These qi monsters are made of charging bull qi, but isn't the size of the group too big, who can block it?" Shen Shang sighed.
Fang Di Chang replied: "The bulls are running towards the closest camp. Who knows how many will die, but that camp is going to end up in ruins."
Shen Shang nodded: "Indeed, once the camp is destroyed, we can only retreat to another camp further back. Our exploration will get tougher."
-x-X-x-
The two of them had deduced something earlier, thus they worked together and explored deeper into qi howling painting world, in order to find and communicate with Heavenly Court's enemy at the depths of the painting.
The enemy of an enemy was a friend.
But even after Shen Shang and Fang Di Chang did their best, they could not reach the deepest part of the painting.
Qi howling painting world was too huge, Fang Di Chang's strength was at a limit, even though Shen Shang had rank eight cultivation level, it was severely restricted in here, the difference between mortal and immortal was not evident.
The only good thing was that Shen Shang's illness was greatly alleviated here. Ever since he entered the painting world, he had not relapsed again.
According to Shen Shang's estimations, the dense human path environment here was helping him.
"Sigh, the ten children of human path have left. Without their help, how can we get through this painting and meet the one suppressed at the deepest part of the painting?" Fang Di Chang sighed.
Shen Shang was about to speak when his expression changed suddenly, he shouted: "This is?!"
Next, Fang Di Chang also sensed the aura of a rank eight Immortal Gu rapidly spreading towards him.
The two no longer cared about qi howling painting world, they quickly returned to the central area of the original painting world.
The two of them saw a rank eight Immortal Gu at the same time, it was floated in the air, shining with radiance.
"Divine Emperor City is truly deep, it actually contains this legendary Immortal Gu!"
"If I am not wrong, this should be the learning Gu recorded in <
The two conversed, seeing the shock on each other's expressions.
"Learning Gu is a human path Immortal Gu, this is likely the highest ranked human path Immortal Gu in the current world." Fang Di Chang sighed.
"I get it now!" Shen Shang's eyes suddenly shined with bright light: "Why did beast tamers and qi cultivators appear earlier? It was the result of this learning Gu's effect. Of course, this should not be the only Gu used, it is likely a killer move. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable had such grand ambitions, his arrangements were truly deep."
Fang Di Chang frowned: "But why did this learning Gu activate on its own now? Did something happen in the outside world?"
Shen Shang was troubled, he did not know about the situation outside.
But he quickly reacted: "This is a prime opportunity! Learning Gu must be one of the cores of Divine Emperor City, regardless of what is going on outside that caused this core to be used alone, at this point, Divine Emperor City's intact structure has a crack in it, we can find this weakness and make use of it!"
"Good idea!" Fang Di Chang's pupils expanded as he looked at Shen Shang excitedly: "Let us work together and explore the secret of Divine Emperor City."
At the same time.
Crazed Demon Cave.
Eighth layer.
Green Lotus Dao field, above Book Mountain.
Fairy Yu Xiu sat at the peak of Book Mountain, within her immortal aperture, Divine Emperor City's learning Gu spread out its radiance, cooperating with Fairy Yu Xiu's other Immortal Gu to form a human path killer move —
Endless Learning!
At the middle and bottom of Book Mountain, there were countless Gu cultivators.
The killer move's radiance was light blue in color, it spread down and covered all of these Gu cultivators.
Their bodies shook intensely.
"This is?!"
The immortals' expressions changed, they were filled with deep shock.
An indescribable profundity of the Great Dao flowed into the depths of their hearts like a gentle river.
The attainment levels of these immortals started to rise!
"There is actually such an incredible killer move in this world, if I am not experiencing this personally, I will not be able to imagine it!"
"This is the teaching of the sage, the sage is merciful and benevolent!"
Many Gu Immortals were so touched they shed tears on the spot, others knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to Fairy Yu Xiu at the peak of the mountain.
These were all non-standard Gu Immortals, but they were receiving the most traditional Gu cultivation method now.
They were all clear about how hard it was to raise attainment levels!
This was truly an unprecedented fortuitous encounter for them!
"In this world, there are indeed other methods to raise attainment level other than dream realms. Human path… Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable had already made his arrangements to this degree. It is definitely not wrong for Heavenly Court to develop human path!" Qin Ding Ling was very excited internally.
Heavenly Court's members, with her at the lead, sat down together and closed their eyes to comprehend calmly.
Fairy Yu Xiu opened her eyes slightly, looking down below her with a glance.
Sweat had gathered on her forehead, all the thoughts in her mind were used to sustain this move.
Endless learning was a human path method of strategical value, its benefit for any super force was huge beyond imagination.
Its greatest advantage was that it did not expend the user's true meaning, it created true meaning in the mind of the targets instead!
Rule path and wisdom path Gu Immortals were more adept at extracting their own true meaning compared to other paths.
When other Gu cultivators take the true meaning, their attainment levels of the corresponding path would rise sharply.
But the Gu cultivator who extracted their true meaning would experience a fall in attainment level, the losses could not be regained.
This was why true meaning was so rare in the world.
Endless learning was a killer move that made use of Fairy Yu Xiu's attainment level, the secluded domain of heaven and earth Book Mountain, as well as learning Gu.
This move could create new true meaning in the mind of the targets.
Once the true meaning was created, it would be instantly absorbed by the Gu cultivator and cause their relevant attainment level to rise.
This was the greatest advantage of the killer move endless learning, it did not consume anyone's attainment level.
But at the same time, this advantage was also its weakness.
Because the true meaning created by the killer move had limitations.
The limitations were the Gu cultivator themselves.
The Gu cultivator's aptitude, talent, comprehension and personal experiences were conditions that restricted their production of true meaning.
Attainment level profundity of the same level would vary across the different people who were comprehending them. If one reached their limit and could not comprehend the profundity, they would start to develop illusions.
As expected, not long after, Gu cultivators on Book Mountain started to see illusions.
Some of them saw surging golden lotuses, some saw azure rain, some saw surging bloody water, some saw bone forests, or rainbow colored phoenixes that growled loudly.
"I, I can't persevere anymore!" A moment later, someone spat out blood and fainted.
More and more people followed.
But some Gu cultivators were still enduring.
With this, the talent, personal experiences and comprehension of the Gu cultivators were also clearly distinguished.
But by the time, those among Qin Ding Ling's group started to waver as sweat appeared on their foreheads, about ninety percent of Green Lotus Dao field's native Gu Immortals had already fallen.
"Even if these natives become Gu Immortals, they are still inferior to humans, who have the highest natural talent and intelligence." Fairy Yu Xiu nodded to herself.
After some observation, she had already gained a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Gu Immortals from Green Lotus Dao field.
When Qin Ding Ling and the rest started to waver, the other Gu cultivators on the mountain had already fainted.
Bai Cang Shui fainted, Zhou Xiong Xin also fainted, followed by Jun Shen Guang.
Eventually, only three Heavenly Court members were left.
They were Qin Ding Ling, Che Wei, and Gu Yue Fang Zheng.
"Brother?" Gu Yue Fang Zheng's eyes were filled with blood, he grunted before fainting.
Thereafter, Qin Ding Ling smiled bitterly as she lost consciousness as well.
Che Wei lasted until the end.
Fairy Yu Xiu nodded to herself: "As expected of the creator of weapon path. Hmm? I actually misjudged."
Fairy Yu Xiu's expression suddenly changed as she shifted her gaze from Che Wei to a meteor at the bottom of the mountain.
This meteor was large as an elephant, it was also a Gu Immortal.
Earlier, it had fallen into a state of semi-unconsciousness. Even Fairy Yu Xiu did not expect that a certain strength would gather within the rock.
At this point, the mystical strength reached its limit, there was a qualitative change occurring.
Rumble!
With a thunderous sound, the meteor shattered as golden light shined in all directions.
From the piercing and blinding light, a rock monkey flew out.
The rock monkey landed on the ground and scratched its ears, shouting: "Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Plop.
At the other end, Che Wei could no longer endure it, he fainted on the spot.
Fairy Yu Xiu's expression became even more peculiar: "This rock monkey is born from heaven and earth, it is extraordinary. It even has incredible talent surpassing Che Wei. With such potential, it will definitely reach great heights in the future!"
"Amazing, amazing."
"What a pity, what a pity."
Fairy Yu Xiu sighed continuously.
She was referring to Limitless Demon Venerable when she said 'amazing'.
Limitless Demon Venerable created Crazed Demon Cave, the derivation of new heaven path dao marks went on for over a million years, the results were huge. This rock monkey was the proof of it!
This rock monkey's potential and comprehension ability even surpassed Heavenly Court's members, it defeated Che Wei!
If this rock monkey was nurtured well and grew successfully, it might create its own path in the future.
But this rock monkey was destined to have a pitiful ending, it could not live for long.
It was meant to be Limitless Demon Venerable's sacrifice!
Even Heavenly Court could not let it off.
Because it was not a pure human.
This was also why Fairy Yu Xiu said 'what a pity'.
The rock monkey lasted for a few more minutes before falling on the ground, unconscious.
Fairy Yu Xiu stopped using the killer move, she started to rest.
Even though she did not consume her attainment level, the price of using this move was quite high. Be they thoughts, immortal essence, or her own lifespan, they were expended.
Not long after, the Gu Immortals started to wake up.
They started to cheer, unable to control themselves.
Their attainment levels had all risen, the problems that they faced normally with killer moves or incomplete Immortal Gu recipes were all resolvable now.
Many Gu Immortals even had new ideas regarding the modification of their current killer moves.
"Thank you, sage, for imparting the Dao to us!"
"Sage has unsurpassed virtue for imparting the Dao to us!"
The Gu Immortals knelt on the ground of their own will.
Fairy Yu Xiu smiled, her voice spreading throughout Book Mountain, before spreading to the entire Green Lotus World: "Three days later, I will hold another session to impart the Dao on Book Mountain again."
The immortals were stunned, at the next moment, a thunderous cheer resounded.
Three days later, not only on Book Mountain itself, even a large number of Gu Masters gathered near the base of Book Mountain.
Gu Masters could only surround Book Mountain but not ascend it, on the mountain base and the sides, many new Gu Immortals showed up.
These Gu Immortals came from various small worlds, hearing that a sage was imparting the Dao on Book Mountain, they came of their own accord to benefit from it.
Fairy Yu Xiu used endless learning again.
As illusions started to show up, everyone saw different sights.
"I can see many flowers!"
"So many pig heads are flying in the sky…"
"Fairy, don't run, you can't escape from me! Hehehe…"
"That rascal is dead meat, I'm telling you, even a Gu Immortal cannot save him!"
"The man of my dreams is an unparalleled hero who will come and marry me while riding on a rainbow cloud, even though I am also a man."
-x-X-x-
All sorts of illusions appeared.
Soon, the Gu Masters outside of the mountain quickly fell unconscious one by one.
Next, the ones on the mountain, those Gu Immortals who had attended the previous session also fainted in succession.
During the first session, they had already reached their limits. After just three days, the growth of their foundation was very limited.
Even Heavenly Court's members were no exception.
After them were the various mutant Gu Immortals of the small worlds. They had deep foundations and this was their first time attending the Dao lesson.
"Hmm?" Fairy Yu Xiu expressed her surprise again.
Among these mutant Gu Immortals, she found another genius this time.
It was a lump of deep green colored tornado, it persevered until the end. The aptitude and comprehension ability it displayed was equally matched with the rock monkey.
When this tornado Gu Immortal fell unconscious, Fairy Yu Xiu also stopped using her killer move.
By the time they awakened, she announced again: Three days later, the next session will be held.
For the third Dao lesson, even more Gu Immortals came.
Not only the mutants of the various small worlds, even Savage Wilderness Great World's and Yellow Earth Great World's Gu Immortals came.
Eventually, the one who lasted until the end was a lizard Gu Immortal.
This immortal came from Savage Wilderness Great World, its aptitude was on par with the rock monkey and tornado, they were extraordinarily talented.
Fairy Yu Xiu conducted three Dao lessons in total, the influence was not just kept in the three great worlds, it even spread to the remaining small worlds. Not only the small worlds at the boundaries of the three great worlds, but even many other small worlds that were currently being drawn to the central area.
Fairy Yu Xiu achieved her goal, the effect was evident.
Their impression on the various Gu Immortals of Green Lotus Grand World improved greatly, many Gu Immortals chose to join them.
Yu Xiu chose three leaders from among them, they were the rock monkey Bu Tian Kong, the tornado immortal Nie Kuang Feng, and finally, the lizard Gu Immortal from Savage Wilderness Great World, Duan Hu.
But a large number of Gu Immortals still chose to watch on the fence.
These Gu Immortals mostly came from small worlds, their worlds were still moving now, they had not landed near the three great worlds yet.
"Since this change occurred in the void, the unification of the worlds cannot be avoided, we need to find a good allegiance!"
"Indeed, we are all rulers of our small world, we can influence where we end up in to a certain extent."
"Green Lotus Great World's sage gave a Dao lesson, I wonder if the other two worlds' sages will do the same?"
Unavoidably, these Gu Immortals started to hold expectations.
A capable person will often choose to find a capable leader.
Even though they were native Gu Immortals that were not human, they had ample intelligence and were quite astute.
From Fairy Yu Xiu's Dao lessons, they sensed that she was trying to recruit them.
The three great worlds were in heated conflict, the amount of losses was huge and severe, it was the stage for them to shine on.
They even started to spread the word.
"If the other two great worlds do not give such a benefit, we will join Green Lotus Great World!"
"The three great worlds have existed for so long, Green Lotus Great World's sage imparted wisdom on everyone, they are truly magnanimous and benevolent. I am sure that the other two worlds' sages are the same."
"We will join whichever world gives the greatest benefits."
These Gu Immortals wanted to gain the most benefits for themselves.
As for which world they would end up joining?
Haha, they can decide that after getting the benefits!
The situation changed abruptly, Lu Wei Yin quickly went to Fang Yuan for a discussion.
Lu Wei Yin sighed: "Currently, Heavenly Court has the initiative again, after cooperating with Longevity Heaven, we managed to destabilize Heavenly Court's advantage over us, but with Fairy Yu Xiu's Dao lessons, all our efforts ended up in vain. But thankfully, the situation is salvageable, how should we go on to recruit those Gu Immortals who are still on the fence?"
Fang Yuan was silent.
These mutant Gu Immortals who were still roaming around were top tier cannon fodder, Heavenly Court's recruitment of them was a great move.
Fairy Yu Xiu's method also expanded Fang Yuan's horizons.
"Learning Gu… endless learning…"
Other than the dream realm, this was the first time Fang Yuan saw a killer move capable of directly raising attainment levels.
In the five hundred years of his previous life, he had no recollection of such a killer move.
From what he gathered and from Lu Wei Yin's information, there was no warning or hint that such a killer move existed.
This meant that the killer move was likely a new creation of Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Court had deep foundation and countless elites who progressed and developed with time.
Lu Wei Yin looked at Fang Yuan as he said: "This killer move is extraordinary, it can raise the power of an entire force. Attainment level is very hard to raise, even I am slightly moved by Heavenly Court's offer. There is also something more worrying, within <
"Heavenly Court possesses the killer move endless learning, this means that they have a method of creating true meaning that is unique in this world. This method might allow them to enter Primordial Domain earlier than others, or even like Book Mountain, they might be able to obtain Primordial Domain from the ninth layer!"
Fang Yuan nodded slightly.
Lu Wei Yin was very astute, all of his words made sense.
Primordial Domain was the key factor in the conflict of the three parties, even if a venerable revives successfully, to become a true Dao Lord again, they need to rely on Primordial Domain.
One could say that whoever obtains Primordial Domain first would gain the greatest advantage, they would become the eventual winner of this fight!
Fang Yuan pondered: "Endless learning is truly incredible and useful, but we also have a strategic level killer move ourselves. I have already used it."
Lu Wei Yin's expression turned to joy as he guessed: "That lingering poisonous ant plague killer move?"
Fang Yuan nodded while adding: "I used this move in Eastern Sea before, let's see how Heavenly Court deals with it. Other than that, we need to keep an eye on Longevity Heaven, I am quite curious about their following actions."
Lu Wei Yin thought about it and added: "Lord, since you have already used lingering poisonous ant plague, we should take the initiative to attack and exert pressure, when Heavenly Court is busy dealing with it, they will not have the time or energy to resist this move."
Fang Yuan had already shut his eyes: "You can go handle this matter. I want to deduce the Paradise Earth true inheritance here."
Lu Wei Yin immediately took his leave, his best idea was to communicate with Longevity Heaven and attack in unison.
After getting Lu Wei Yin's invitation, Longevity Heaven did not hesitate, they cooperated smoothly.
The truth was, their pressure was higher.
Many Gu Immortals defected from Savage Wilderness Great World to Green Lotus Great World, even more than Yellow Earth Great World. The most famous among them was Duan Hu.
This rank eight expert was very famous in Savage Wilderness Great World, with him taking the lead to join Heavenly Court, the influence on Longevity Heaven was dire.
Days later, Longevity Heaven and Fang Yuan sent out their troops again to attack Green Lotus Great World.
In the sky, Gu Immortals fought intensely.
"Kill!" Golden Fur Immortal Monarch held two large hammers on both hands as he attacked aggressively.
He was covered in thick golden fur, he had many Immortal Gu and killer moves, allowing his defense to be tight, he had no worries about charging forward.
The formation of Heavenly Court's mutant Gu Immortals were disrupted many times because of him.
"Don't be too arrogant." A child-like wood path Gu Immortal with grass growing on his head gritted his teeth as he blocked Golden Fur Immortal Monarch.
Golden Fur Immortal Monarch's advancement was halted, he fought against this immortal.
After dozens of rounds, there was no clear victor.
"Hmph!"
"I am Grass Head Child, I was born with an Immortal Gu, I am blessed with great fortune."
"You have Immortal Gu, but my Immortal Gu are also not fewer than yours!"
This wood path Gu Immortal shouted with a confident disposition.
Suddenly, his expression became distorted as his body started twisting around.
"So itchy!" Suddenly, Grass Head Child could not endure the intense feeling.
Wave of ants crawled out of his body, piercing his grass skin.
"What is going on? What are these things!" Grass Head Child was shocked, he quickly retreated.
"Hahaha, where are you going!" Golden Fur Immortal Monarch saw the chance and chased relentlessly.
Grass Head Child was hit by the killer move lingering poisonous ant plague, he was greatly distracted and lost his momentum, after several rounds, he was smashed into pulp by Golden Fur Immortal Monarch's hammer, dying on the spot.
Similar scenes were occurring to the other mutant Gu Immortals.
With the activation of lingering poisonous ant plague, the situation was immediately changed.
Originally, Heavenly Court had many mutant Gu Immortals, they were able to enter a deadlock with Fang Yuan's subordinates who were better equipped, but now that their immortal apertures were getting attacked, they lost all their morale, they had no will to fight.
"Run!"
"Why are there ants on my body as well?"
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
The formation collapsed entirely, Fang Yuan's subordinates chased after them and obtained great results.
"This is the outcome for siding with Green Lotus Great World!"
"All the Gu Immortals who sided with them faced the judgment of lingering poisonous ant plague."
"Kill all the captives, our master has given orders, we will not accept them!"
Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch and the rest cheered loudly, resounding in the entire battlefield.
They worked with another group from Longevity Heaven, making great advances and forcing Heavenly Court's mutant Gu Immortals to run in fear, unable to retaliate.
The defeated mutant Gu Immortals found that they could not resolve lingering poisonous ant plague killer move, they had to rush to Book Mountain and kneel towards the peak, requesting for the sage's help.
At the peak of Book Mountain.
Qin Ding Ling frowned: "Fang Yuan used that move after all! If we cannot resolve it, our great advantage is going to be lost entirely."
Many of the mutant Gu Immortals were still watching in anticipation.
If Green Lotus Great World was too weak, even if the benefits were huge, they would not join them.
After all, great benefits were pointless unless one had sufficient lifespan to enjoy them.
At this moment, Fairy Yu Xiu defended Book Mountain while Fairy Ming Hao went to the front lines, preventing Longevity Heaven's troops from causing any more trouble.
Fairy Yu Xiu was also quite troubled: "You have already given us the information of this lingering poisonous ant plague killer move. This is quite an impressive move, it contains poison path, enslavement path, refinement path, wood path, food path, and even heaven path profundity."
"It contains heaven path profundity?" Qin Ding Ling was deeply shocked: "No wonder Eastern Sea's Righteous Qi Alliance can only alleviate the effects of this move but not remove it completely!"
