Chapter 1077

Fang Yuan asks what Shadow Sect needs. Sixth Hair says the Earth Trench materials are filled with heaven’s will and will not be taken, but the huge amount from Falling Heavenly River can be traded, and hands over a list. Fang Yuan already holds most of it and asks why Sixth Hair cannot draw on Lang Ya Sect’s own inventory. Sixth Hair explains the new land spirit runs that inventory on sect contribution points, and his own points fall short of what Ying Wu Xie needs. Fang Yuan asks how the materials would reach Ying Wu Xie with treasure yellow heaven closed. Sixth Hair explains that Zombie Alliance built a super Gu formation linking the five regions before Yi Tian Mountain, so an attacked branch could move its zombie bodies elsewhere. Fang Yuan, slightly surprised, had taken this for a cover story, but Sixth Hair confirms it is real. ^{ch. 1077}

Sacrificing Zombie Alliance to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu was never the plan, Sixth Hair says, but a choice forced at Yi Tian Mountain. Fang Yuan recalls Zombie Alliance survived through his previous life’s five hundred years, but now sits an empty shell, most of its zombies refined in the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation. Its resources sit ownerless, contested in bloody fights among Gu Immortal experts. Fang Yuan concludes that Shadow Sect did succeed in his previous life, and judges Heavenly Court’s attack on Lang Ya blessed land, which killed Feng Jiu Ge there, very suspicious. He thinks Shadow Sect had spies inside Heavenly Court, and that Spectral Soul may have revived and turned it into his own force. He decides the world’s scale of scheming makes it more interesting, and smiles. Sixth Hair cannot read the smile and feels only a bad premonition. ^{ch. 1077}

Fang Yuan asks what he gets in return, and Sixth Hair answers: Immortal Gu. It turns out to be Fang Yuan’s own confiscated Immortal Gu, resold to their original owner. Ying Wu Xie’s plan is really amazing, and even Fang Yuan finds the idea quite good, since he is very familiar with these Gu and few other buyers would want them as much. Fang Yuan adds Hei Lou Lan’s self strength Immortal Gu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s Man as Before and Landscape as Before to his demand. Sixth Hair considers it a while, then agrees on his own authority, since Ying Wu Xie controls both and escaping danger matters more than anything else now. ^{ch. 1077}

Fang Yuan wants to trade at the same time, but Sixth Hair says the Gu will take time, since every branch is under attack, and asks for materials first. The formation sits in Dark Flow Giant City, which escaped ransacking only by sinking into Earth Trench. Fang Yuan refuses to pay first. Sixth Hair offers an information path binding move instead, but Fang Yuan refuses that too, since he does not cultivate information path. Sixth Hair then offers information of immense value for a portion of the materials: the limits of heaven’s will, Shadow Sect’s experience with it, and what it knows of otherworldly demons and Lang Ya blessed land. Fang Yuan is deeply tempted, since Lang Ya blessed land’s secrets are extremely important to him and no one has more experience with heaven’s will than Shadow Sect. ^{ch. 1077}

Instead, Fang Yuan asks why Ying Wu Xie cannot use the formation to escape. Sixth Hair explains the formation moves only materials, not whole Gu Immortals, since an immortal aperture cannot travel with it. The rare exceptions are Fixed Immortal Travel and stargate Gu, both usable only by a Gu Immortal carrying few dao marks, such as a rank six bottom tier Gu Immortal. What sits inside a Gu Immortal’s own aperture escapes this limit, as with the rank nine wisdom Gu that Fang Yuan once carried in his dead aperture. Using a lower rank Gu Immortal or a zombie as a container this way is very possible, but it could never scale. Only one Fixed Immortal Travel exists, and rank eight Gu Immortals, high rank immortal materials and Immortal Gu all carry too many dao marks, a huge burden that can burst a living aperture. This is why Fang Yuan keeps his high rank materials inside Hu Immortal or Star Form blessed land, both very stable outside, while rank eight Gu Immortals travel instead through white heaven and black heaven. ^{ch. 1077}
