Chapter 1078

Cross-region travel for Gu Immortals has never had a good method. Immortal ascension ties each Gu Master to their region’s qi, and drawing a wrong region’s qi would cause huge problems. Continuous tribulations leave little time to travel besides, unless the reason is serious, such as a huge inheritance or an investigation like Feng Jiu Ge’s. ^{ch. 1078}

Immortal Gu and immortal materials differ. Demand for moving them is huge, and treasure yellow heaven settles most of it. Almost nobody has researched moving Gu Immortals themselves, since they already face huge pressure just to survive. Cross-regional methods stayed very primitive, and even the ten great ancient sects had to barge through two regional walls to reach Northern Plains. In four to five hundred years the question dies, since the regional walls begin to disappear and the five regions merge into one. ^{ch. 1078}

In the hall, Fang Yuan laughs, having understood the whole shape of the transaction. Sixth Hair asks why, his foreboding growing. Fang Yuan states his first condition: forget the information, he wants his original body back. Sixth Hair’s expression changes, since he knows about wisdom Gu. Fang Yuan once lacked lifespan Gu to feed wisdom Gu, and Lang Ya land spirit has a good number of them. If Fang Yuan regains his body and soul, he can draw on wisdom Gu’s power again, and set beside his knowledge of heaven’s will and the sovereign immortal aperture, Sixth Hair judges this unprecedented, unimaginable strength. ^{ch. 1078}

Sixth Hair refuses outright: without a body, how can Ying Wu Xie escape? Fang Yuan offers a swap of a strength path zombie body, calling it a definite profit for Shadow Sect, but Sixth Hair refuses: Immortal Gu and information can be sold, never a body. Fang Yuan rises to leave, and Sixth Hair, stunned, calls him back: the body cannot be sold but everything else can still be discussed. Fang Yuan walks on, and Sixth Hair chases, warning that trouble will follow him too. Fang Yuan stops but keeps his back turned, very rude, and answers that at most he will die too. ^{ch. 1078}

Sixth Hair presses harder: how long could Fang Yuan last without Shadow Sect drawing enemies off, and could he face heaven’s will alone? Fang Yuan calls this noise, and a rank seven Immortal Gu, Wave Sword, forces Sixth Hair back. Sixth Hair warns against using an Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan repeats that the body is his first condition and gives Sixth Hair three days to discuss it. Sixth Hair protests three days is too long for Ying Wu Xie’s danger, but Fang Yuan answers that agreeing quickly would let them refine Gu and last longer. Furious, Sixth Hair points at him with killing intent. Fang Yuan answers that he will not die first, since Spectral Soul’s main body stays trapped in the dream realm once Ying Wu Xie is gone. ^{ch. 1078}

Within half a day, Sixth Hair returns: Ying Wu Xie has agreed. Fang Yuan reads the speed as a sign Ying Wu Xie’s situation must really be terrible. Fang Yuan wants the zombie bodies traded first, one for one, and warns his methods as a reborn man will expose any tampering. Sixth Hair insists on one transaction, then concedes to three separate sessions and the two trade the bodies. For the second, Fang Yuan demands every one of his own Immortal Gu along with Self Strength, Man as Before, and Landscape as Before, then quietly raises the quantities until Sixth Hair explodes that the materials would not buy even thirty percent of them. After dozens of hard rounds, both sides settle, Fang Yuan yielding a little while still gaining the most. ^{ch. 1078}

The third transaction should have been the last, but Fang Yuan tries to stretch three exchanges to ten. Sixth Hair, screaming, blood running from his nose in anger, calls him shameless and says they might as well all die together. Fang Yuan answers once more that he will not be the first to die, and once Ying Wu Xie dies, Spectral Soul’s main body will follow, since the dream realm’s consumption of a soul runs extremely fast. The phrase echoes in Sixth Hair’s head, and he faints on the spot. ^{ch. 1078}
