Chapter 1029

With Hu Immortal blessed land and Star Form blessed land’s resources safely moved, Fang Yuan exhales, judging his losses already reduced greatly whatever Ying Wu Xie does next. Their situations have oddly swapped. He cares about three things: his original body’s Gu worms, the resources those two blessed lands once held, and his relations with Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Lang Ya land spirit, Spirit Affinity House, Immortal Crane Sect and others. The first two are effectively settled: Fixed Immortal Travel and his other Gu worms should already be self-detonating, Hu Immortal blessed land has fallen to Central Continent’s Gu Immortals, and Star Form blessed land now hides deep in Earth Abyss. His ties to Spirit Affinity House and Immortal Crane Sect are already broken, and the truth of his destroying Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is exposed everywhere. Heavenly Court will definitely pursue that against Fang Yuan, and to an extent Ying Wu Xie, wearing his body, faces the disaster in his place. ^{ch. 1029}

What worries Fang Yuan is the third front. Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness are dead, sharply lowering Hei Lou Lan’s value, yet her Great Strength True Martial Physique, strong luck and formidable character still make her a Gu Immortal not to be dismissed. Tai Bai Yun Sheng might hold only two Immortal Gu, but each is a top grade Gu worm of huge practical value. Fang Yuan worries greatly that Ying Wu Xie will use Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng to make trouble for him. He tries reaching both through wills left earlier at treasure yellow heaven, but neither has reconnected there, so his worry deepens. Contacting Lang Ya land spirit instead brings an immediate, excited reply, the land spirit left completely dumbstruck at the sight of Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and especially wisdom Gu. ^{ch. 1029}

Land spirit had mainly agreed to help because Fang Yuan belongs to Lang Ya Sect, and though he cannot lie, his current obsession wants hairy men ruling the five regions. He presses Fang Yuan to donate the three treasures outright for uncountable contribution points, but Fang Yuan refuses, since as external supreme elder they remain his own. Fang Yuan judges it safer to leave them with Lang Ya Sect instead. Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley are Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s old troves, so with Fixed Immortal Travel intact Ying Wu Xie could return to them, and housing the pair in his own aperture would open his door to robbers. Fang Yuan’s own living body would also lose lifespan using wisdom Gu’s light, unlike his old immortal zombie form. He proposes a loan instead: the sect may use all three if it compensates him tenfold for any loss, plus contribution points. Land spirit, overjoyed, praises Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po valley for strengthening souls in refinement, and wisdom Gu for deducing recipes. ^{ch. 1029}

Land spirit knows a method to use wisdom Gu and will only sell it for contribution points. The featherman Zhou Zhong, his slave and known to Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, leads his feathermen into Lang Ya blessed land for now. Its space is extremely huge. After haggling, the hairy man slaves in the Fang Yuan stone nests lose their formal slave status, since land spirit’s doctrine holds hairy men should rule, not serve as slaves. They are free now and belong to Lang Ya blessed land, counted only as Fang Yuan’s subordinates within Lang Ya Sect, and land spirit letting even that stand is extraordinary. The men still obey him when he calls on them to refine Gu, and land spirit will now settle and nurture them, lifting both their morale and their output. ^{ch. 1029}

Fang Yuan finally tells land spirit about Ying Wu Xie and Shadow Sect, and the land spirit stares blankly a long while before he reacts. He is stunned that Fang Yuan even held Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu, Spring Autumn Cicada, and asks whether Fang Yuan also holds Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s vital Immortal Gu, Dog Shit Luck. Fang Yuan had thought it was fortune rivalling heaven Gu. Land spirit confirms it: Giant Sun Immortal Venerable refined Fortune Rivalling Heaven in his later years and carried Dog Shit Luck in his early ones, and land spirit knows because he cooperated with him back when he himself was alive. ^{ch. 1029}
