Chapter 1065

A few days later at Lang Ya blessed land, land spirit hands Fang Yuan a basin of water, interior rain. He warns it is very special, quite heavy. Fang Yuan takes it and feels a strong gravitational pull. The water is clear and transparent, threaded with green, and ripples as though struck by rain even held steady. ^{ch. 1065}

It carries dao marks of its own. Its weight is not great, though it burdens anything holding it. That psychological burden is what land spirit means by heavy. ^{ch. 1065}

Land spirit asks if he has truly decided to use his last refinement for change form Immortal Gu instead of Fixed Immortal Travel. Fang Yuan nods firmly. Fixed Immortal Travel’s crucial material, light of the immemorial era, is missing. He is also not certain Fixed Immortal Travel itself was destroyed, and change form Immortal Gu matters more to him now. ^{ch. 1065}

Change form Immortal Gu is transformation path’s own essence. Reckless Savage Demon Venerable refined it to rank nine, but it was destroyed along with him. Everyone since restarts from rank six, and dozens of times it has been destroyed and refined anew. Rank seven appears rarely, and rank eight almost never, countable on two hands. ^{ch. 1065}

Fang Yuan is only attempting rank six, and holds the recipe. Most materials are prepared free from Lang Ya blessed land’s huge inventory. Under Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor’s agreement, land spirit refines Gu for him three times, mortal Gu guaranteed and Immortal Gu not, and this is its final use. ^{ch. 1065}

Land spirit regrets that Fang Yuan no longer carries the success dao mark that would have guaranteed success. He asks why he rebirthed then. Fang Yuan answers honestly: Spectral Soul Demon Venerable made use of him, and even now it seems very suspicious. ^{ch. 1065}

Land spirit waves the point away. His inherited hairy man nature Gu refinement technique draws on heaven and earth dao marks, and though calamities and tribulations come with it, its advantages outweigh them. Lang Ya blessed land holds abundant refinement path dao marks from countless calamities. With what remains of Refinement Cauldron, the first attempt’s success chance is high. ^{ch. 1065}

Fang Yuan must take part, for safety. His strong luck as dog shit luck Immortal Gu’s owner raises the odds. Luck path greatly aids Gu refinement, as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable showed on Eighty-Eight True Yang Building with Long Hair Ancestor, while theft path could not do the same on space escape Immortal Gu. Interior rain is the first problem he must practice through. ^{ch. 1065}

Land spirit teaches him refinement methods and mortal killer moves. Fang Yuan pays for them with sect contribution points. Land spirit’s refinement path attainment far surpasses Fang Yuan’s, who judges that if the hairy man nature Gu refinement technique works it would be far superior to the human isolation style. ^{ch. 1065}

In Black Hair Continent, Fang Zheng holds a three colored flame. Fang Yuan’s fake will orders him to refine the rank five River Swallowing Toad tonight, against the enemy’s water path methods. The flame dissipates, the refinement fails, and he coughs blood. ^{ch. 1065}

The fake will mocks him as useless. It warns he will die tomorrow without its guidance. Fang Zheng refuses to be its tool. It answers he has no choice: he has unknowingly avenged it, by killing hairy man Gu Masters, and must obey tonight or die. ^{ch. 1065}

Fang Zheng falls silent, clenching his fists. Two hours later he begins the refinement. He follows its guidance until he succeeds at dawn. ^{ch. 1065}

In Cloud Cover Continent, Fang Yuan processes the interior rain until it resembles frozen, fully transparent jade. He wastes three basins before succeeding on the fourth. Reaching that state takes more than fifty steps, more than twenty refinement methods, and thirty mortal killer moves, within a few minutes. ^{ch. 1065}

A lump of fake will flies back to him. Once he confirms it harmless he draws it in, an almost invisible smile touching his lips. To survive, he reasons, Fang Zheng can only keep obeying him. Each survival humiliates him less as it repeats, until he depends on Fang Yuan, the best time to refine Blood Deity. Fang Zheng’s mind is not ready. ^{ch. 1065}
