Chapter 1114

Several days pass. Fang Yuan bargains through Connecting Heaven Gu with a female Gu Immortal’s will in treasure yellow heaven over pill azure incense, arguing its quality is lower than Gu Immortal Xi Zi’s. The will, left behind to manage trades, is resolute and obstinate, refusing outright. Fang Yuan grows a little annoyed. ^{ch. 1114}

His trading has stopped going smoothly since the third calamity, with Gu Immortals raising prices and shortages following rank eight bulk-buying. Even with Dog Shit Luck’s protection, the blazing tree destroyed much of his good luck, and without Chu Du’s help he judges he would have been finished or badly hurt. Now he faces only small obstacles. ^{ch. 1114}

Fang Yuan agrees to buy, a huge purchase costing almost ten thousand immortal essence stones. The will is stunned. Extremely affluent despite the calamity’s cost to him, Fang Yuan stays unshaken and moves the inspected incense into his sovereign immortal aperture. ^{ch. 1114}

A strength path immortal zombie stores it with Gu worms in Mini Azure Heaven, since Fang Yuan has never heard of a land spirit appearing in an aperture before its Gu Immortal dies. Fang Yuan judges the incense, resembling jade smoke, enough to feed Change Soul Immortal Gu three times, though it will not renew once used. Even so, the sovereign immortal aperture remains very barren. Its space is too huge for resources to fill, and its dao marks carry very little effect across it. ^{ch. 1114}

Earlier batches fed Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Flying Sword and his other rank seven and eight Immortal Gu. Development now turns to his rank six. The first rule of any aperture is self-sufficiency, which his never followed as a dead immortal zombie, and since reviving he has settled it steadily but only in part. ^{ch. 1114}

Fang Yuan simply has a shocking quantity of Immortal Gu. He needs them against tribulation, heaven’s will and other Gu Immortals. His identity must stay hidden: Shadow Sect’s protection ended after Yi Tian Mountain, and Heavenly Court has marked him on the Demon Judgment Board. Northern Plains’ Gu Immortals hate him for destroying Imperial Court blessed land and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and Gu Immortals from Eastern Sea, Southern Border and Western Desert chase a luck path inheritance he never took. ^{ch. 1114}

So he travels as Liu Guan Yi. His real name might have changed Chu Du’s attitude completely. Hei tribe’s Gu Immortals had worked with Heavenly Lord Bai Zu to ambush him during that battle, and only his own vigilance let him escape, unknown to him still. ^{ch. 1114}

Fang Yuan already works with Chu Du. Chu Du’s letter told him flying sword Immortal Gu held clues to an information path inheritance, its insignia incredible enough that wisdom path Gu Immortal Tian Xia Xin wants it too. Fang Yuan is enticed. He deals with Chu Du: Chu Du gains Reckless Savage’s true meaning, for compensation. ^{ch. 1114}

Fang Yuan guided Chu Du to seize the thirteenth eagle nest at the Hei tribe battle’s end. Days later they met secretly in Northern Plains. Fang Yuan took flying sword Immortal Gu and the nest, lending calamity beckoning Immortal Gu in return. He could not give up the tempering aperture method itself, but other Gu worms produce similar moves. ^{ch. 1114}

With his help, Fang Yuan passes the third calamity with only some setbacks, not the grave injuries of his first two. Calamity beckoning Immortal Gu is simply incredible. Mo Yao once wanted it for her lover Bo Qing’s tribulation and failed, since it is only rank seven against his myriad tribulation toward rank nine. ^{ch. 1114}

The information path inheritance waits, its turbulent flow sea area too easy to get lost in. Fang Yuan turns instead to the eagle nest, the thirteenth of Iron Eagle blessed land, already explored with real gains and holding clues to Hei Fan’s true inheritance. That inheritance, able to delay time in his own aperture, matters far more to him. While he still has this free stretch, he decides to obtain it. ^{ch. 1114}
