Chapter 1051

Fang Yuan judges Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley, and wisdom Gu priceless and unique, and waits to see what Lang Ya land spirit can offer in trade. Lang Ya blessed land has a deep foundation. It survived two venerables’ eras and may now be the foremost blessed land in the five regions after Imperial Court’s destruction. Its land spirit was once the foremost refinement path immortal of all time, faintly surpassing Old Eccentric Tian Nan and Old Immortal Kong Jue. ^{ch. 1051}

Lang Ya land spirit paces in thought. Fang Yuan notes that the white haired land spirit, formed from an obsession about space escape Gu, cared only for refining Gu, while this black haired one wants hairy men to be the dominant race, a point he means to use. After struggling, the land spirit resolves to trade. Lang Ya land spirit insists his sect’s treasures are not inferior and hands Fang Yuan an information path Gu worm. ^{ch. 1051}

The Gu proves to be a bookworm emanating rank three aura, though Fang Yuan had only known valuable rank one bookworms before. Fang Yuan is slightly shocked. Lang Ya land spirit explains that his prior self broke past the rank one limit to develop rank two and three versions. Fang Yuan borrows the bookworm from Lang Ya land spirit and reads the three true inheritances inside, growing extremely excited. ^{ch. 1051}

Fang Yuan sets other concerns aside as secondary to a calamity now only a few days off. His immortal aperture is still unmanaged and empty. But its incredibly huge space and time path foundation, unlimited by the five regions’ separate natures, far surpass the ten extreme physiques combined and promise unprecedentedly dangerous tribulations. Most of his Immortal Gu remain with his original body, some destroyed, others left with Ying Wu Xie. His strength is now much lower. Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan are unaccounted for, and Fairy Li Shan and Blazing Heaven Demoness are dead, leaving Lang Ya blessed land as the only help he can get. ^{ch. 1051}

Lang Ya land spirit names his sect’s three true inheritances: refinement path from his main body, luck path from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, and theft path from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. He took the latter two as payment for Gu he refined for them. Lang Ya land spirit ranks Thieving Heaven’s as least valuable, since his main body refunded part of its payment after failing to activate space escape Gu. He adds that Thieving Heaven left ten in total, that they come in pairs so a second match may surface later, and that most reach only otherworldly demons like Fang Yuan, this copy excepted. ^{ch. 1051}

Lang Ya land spirit names Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s three luck path inheritances: self luck, all living beings’ luck, and heaven and earth luck. Self luck sits with Lang Ya, heaven and earth luck is in Longevity Heaven, and all living beings’ luck was inside Imperial Court blessed land. That blessed land’s destruction scattered some of its Immortal Gu, including connect luck, break luck, and divert disaster, with the cultivation details already lost. Having dealt with Ma Hong Yun, Fang Yuan knows luck path’s power, and judges that divert disaster Immortal Gu would let him send his tribulations outside as Imperial Court blessed land did. Lang Ya land spirit urges Fang Yuan to take self luck. He says Fang Yuan’s luck seems really bad. As proof he cites the two hairy man Gu Immortals lost while fetching him, one caught in Old Ancestor Xue Hu’s sweep after a traitor stole a material for fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu. ^{ch. 1051}

Lang Ya land spirit recommends the first inheritance instead. He explains refinement path’s two styles: the hairy man heaven and earth style and the human isolation style. Hairy men use heaven and earth dao marks for a higher success rate than the human isolation style, which is why both venerables once sought his main body’s help. Drawing on Old Immortal Kong Jue’s true inheritance, his main body went beyond that style to conceptualize the immortal killer move immortal tribulation tempering aperture. ^{ch. 1051}

The move is built from several Immortal Gu and more than a hundred thousand mortal Gu. It refines a blessed land or grotto-heaven, connecting the immortal aperture to the five regions outside, letting its wielder restrict which calamity or tribulation strikes while tempering the aperture. Lang Ya land spirit explains that the blessed land was placed near Crescent Lake for its abundant water path and refinement path dao marks, which drew those two calamities. Over a hundred and eighty thousand years, accumulated water path dao marks turned solid land into the current vast ocean and three continents. The move can still fail, since fire and lightning path tribulations occurred there too. ^{ch. 1051}

Fang Yuan connects this to Spectral Soul’s tribulation refining method for the sovereign immortal fetus Gu. He suspects Shadow Sect’s past spies inside Lang Ya blessed land let Spectral Soul Demon Venerable derive his more refined method from immortal tribulation tempering aperture, and guesses correctly. Lang Ya land spirit offers a one to one trade of the three true inheritances against Fang Yuan’s three items. It is Fang Yuan’s turn to decide. ^{ch. 1051}
