Chapter 1069

A jade butterfly, the newly refined Fixed Immortal Travel, lands on Fairy Zi Wei’s finger. Granny Sha, beside her, confirms it. Fairy Zi Wei thanks her: it is truly an honor that a mere rank six Immortal Gu needed a refinement path great grandmaster like Granny Sha to refine it. Granny Sha is a rank eight member of Heavenly Court, several thousand years old and recently woken from hibernation. Her status as a refinement path great grandmaster is very rare. ^{ch. 1069}

Granny Sha has little lifespan left and sleeps in Heavenly Court to delay death. Granny Sha and the late Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord were from the same generation, and once in a relationship. His death at the battle of Yi Tian Mountain alarmed Granny Sha into ending her hibernation. ^{ch. 1069}

Granny Sha asks whether refining Fixed Immortal Travel can really help capture Fang Yuan. The Gu needed light of the immemorial era, a material once unlimited but now extinct. Only Heavenly Court, the world’s number one Gu Immortal organization, still holds it in quantity, more than its own sect Wind Cloud Manor. ^{ch. 1069}

Fairy Zi Wei says the plan rests on her own deduction, with sixty percent assurance. Capturing Gong Sun Liang led Heavenly Court to the boss who had borrowed Gu from him. Investigating pot river led to Wind Cloud Manor, where Feng Chan Zi had stolen light of the immemorial era from the treasury and sold it outside. From this she took it as a possibility that Fang Yuan’s own Fixed Immortal Travel had already been destroyed, and the result bore her out. Fixed Immortal Travel itself, she judges, is merely a rank six Immortal Gu with many ways to deal with it. Granny Sha adds that Heavenly Court’s treasury can fund only three rank seven attempts, and that their one rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel was destroyed when its holder Liang Liang battled and died. Worth lies less in the Gu worm than in its Gu Master. ^{ch. 1069}

To Fairy Zi Wei, refining the Gu and sealing Spring Autumn Cicada merely clip Fang Yuan’s wings. Locating him matters more. She sets herself to deduce at full strength and asks Granny Sha’s help rebuilding Heaven Overseeing Tower. Granny Sha answers that she could not save the tower lord, but can rebuild his tower. ^{ch. 1069}

Fairy Zi Wei summons Myriad Tidal Dragon and sentences Feng Chan Zi to twenty years guarding Hidden Dragon Cave and Di Zang Sheng, on pain of death should that Evil Dragon move even a little. Since Feng Chan Zi cannot handle the post alone at rank six, his grandfather Old Man Bei Feng is left to help his grandson. She then tasks Myriad Tidal Dragon to capture members of Defy. Wei Ling Yang is set to investigate Heavenly Court internally against further traitors. ^{ch. 1069}

With Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord dead, Fairy Zi Wei is the only remaining wisdom path great grandmaster. She is tasked to lead Heavenly Court temporarily. Its rank eight Gu Immortals otherwise hold equal status and must decide matters by discussion, absent an Immortal Venerable. The harder she pursues Fang Yuan, she notices, the more closely he and Shadow Sect’s remnants seem to cooperate. ^{ch. 1069}

Heavenly Court’s true target remains Spectral Soul. His main body lies trapped in Southern Border’s super dream realm, where they can only watch him die slowly. Their efforts fall instead on Fang Yuan and Shadow Sect’s remnants, to keep them from saving him, and people Fairy Zi Wei sent are already assaulting Zombie Alliance. Fixed Immortal Travel is not the issue, she judges; Spring Autumn Cicada is. ^{ch. 1069}

In Earth Abyss, Ying Wu Xie slowly wakes. He remembers failing to refine Fixed Immortal Travel even after his trump card raised his luck immensely. He has lost everything, and his soul injury is severe. As he sits lost and unsure what to do, the super Gu formation around him suddenly activates its automatic defenses. He recognizes the cause: a wisdom path great expert is deducing him. ^{ch. 1069}
