Chapter 1092

Fang Yuan’s soul cultivates in Luo Po Valley. It soaks in drifting bewilderment fog that slowly loosens its condensation. Days of this leave it more than ten times as condensed as before, an improvement he calls incredible, though still truly insignificant beside Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, whose soul survived his death as the world’s highest soul path foundation. ^{ch. 1092}

Luo Po wind then cuts at his soul like steel threads. The gust is not very strong and does not last long, but it still shrinks his soul by thirty percent, so he withdraws into his body. Guts Gu shatter inside his aperture into a mysterious power that acts on his soul, healing every injury completely. His soul tempers like steel with each session, yet he still does not know when he can enter the immortal zombie body. ^{ch. 1092}

Two hours in, his soul turns agitated, and he ends the session. Repeated attempts have taught him two hours is his limit. Guts Gu from Dang Hun Mountain best strengthens the soul, Luo Po wind and bewilderment fog best refine it, and pacifying soul soup from Bewitching Lake is the most effective method for pacification. Bewitching Lake sits inside the Door of Life and Death, which lies within Shadow Sect’s blessed land at Southern Border’s Yi Tian Mountain, and legend holds Verdant Great Sun remained drunk by the riverside after his death. That blessed land now lies engulfed by the giant dream realm, an obstacle Fang Yuan cannot pass, so gathering all three there stays only a thought. Above all there is heaven’s will: it notices his every action, and he stays most wary of it. ^{ch. 1092}

Fang Yuan flies to the twelfth cloud city, where Twelfth Hair presents a batch of self will Gu he asked to have refined. Fang Yuan waves off an inspection, and Twelfth Hair, deeply moved, thanks him for the chance to refine them, which will fund his own desolate beast purchases once treasure yellow heaven reopens. Fang Yuan calls it a fair exchange, and Twelfth Hair agrees. ^{ch. 1092}

Fang Yuan examines the self will Gu, from Shadow Sect: a wisdom path worm producing a will that cleanses a Gu Immortal or Gu Master of heaven’s will’s influence. It is tiny, shaped like a folded-paper scorpion. Fang Yuan, already a complete otherworldly demon, does not need it himself. He obtained the recipe from Sixth Hair and tried refining it, achieving little, since he is no refinement expert and his time is very precious. ^{ch. 1092}

His need for self will Gu is great, so he shares the recipe with Lang Ya Sect’s hairy man Gu Immortals instead of paying Lang Ya land spirit’s high price. All besides Sixth Hair help willingly, since he has good relations with them and they need his points. He sets his fees very low, and the guileless hairy man Gu Immortals accept readily. Twelfth Hair is one of several who help this way. ^{ch. 1092}

Fang Yuan stays vigilant, and inspects every delivery, wary of Lang Ya Sect’s spies. He finds no issues; the quality is really superb. He sends the batch into Mini Northern Plains, and a wave of self will sweeps several battlefields, cleansing every trace of heaven’s will except what still lingers inside the snow monsters. He judges self will Gu the best weapon against heaven’s will, yet very flawed: rank five, and consumed in a single use. He is deeply suspicious: the recipe has to be an incomplete version, and Shadow Sect surely holds a better one. ^{ch. 1092}

In the days that follow, Fang Yuan kills snow monsters, cleanses heaven’s will, and cultivates soul path at Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley, his soul path foundation accumulating rapidly. He also coaches the hairy man Gu Immortals, growing familiar with his Immortal Gu and killer moves. Treasure yellow heaven’s closure is a huge blow, halting construction of his immortal aperture despite having the capital and plans. The second earthly calamity draws steadily closer. Lang Ya Sect’s plan for Tai Qiu never stops, and hairy man Gu Immortals meet no difficulty, as if heaven’s will were not targeting them, puzzling Fang Yuan. ^{ch. 1092}
