Chapter 1130

Fang Yuan studies Hei Fan’s true inheritance. It holds over thirty time path killer moves, cored mostly on year Gu or after Gu. A rare few use the rank eight Years Flow Like Water instead, and a rank eight core naturally gives incredible effects, as Fang Yuan knows from familiar face, built on the rank eight attitude Gu. His rank six green grape essence still cannot activate Years Flow Like Water, unlike attitude Gu, which needs only mental energy. ^{ch. 1130}

Bountiful Year catches his eye. It is cored on immortal level year Gu with tens of thousands of supplementary mortal Gu, at huge immortal essence cost; even Hei Fan needed two or three days to prepare it. For the next year after it succeeds, every resource inside the immortal aperture is produced at a higher rate. The move is rare but of great use and value, and Hei Fan praises it greatly while noting he traded for it with a person called Pill Immortal. Fang Yuan decides to use it, though he must buy the supplementary mortal Gu from treasure yellow heaven. He must also parallel refine his year Gu, only a little over the hundred year level, or risk it falling to a mortal Gu. ^{ch. 1130}

Days Pass Like Years, cored the same way with supplementary day Gu, slows the aperture’s time so a day inside can pass as a year outside. Hei Fan warns the ratio is only theoretical, varying with a blessed land’s grade and with the user’s own dao marks, which amplify it when a time path immortal uses it on themselves. Months Pass Like Years does the same with month Gu. Years Pass Like Months and Years Pass Like Days speed the aperture’s time instead. Slowing it would stretch tribulations, now forced on him every two months outside, into decades or a century. ^{ch. 1130}

Fang Yuan feels great relief. He can now choose to delay or hasten tribulation, a huge advantage after his first three earthly calamities pushed him to his limit. For now he decides against slowing time; he means to keep undergoing tribulation to raise his dao marks, with Chu Du’s help giving him a high chance of passing. He still needs a large stock of day Gu and month Gu, none of which the inheritance left behind. Immortal level day or month Gu would spare that cost and raise the moves’ effect, Hei Fan notes, but Fang Yuan writes those off as beyond him, counting himself fortunate enough to have obtained immortal level year Gu. ^{ch. 1130}

Years Grant Strength uses year Gu to grant immense physical strength, scaling with how much is spent, Hei Fan’s creation drawing a strength path effect from time path. Hundred Years Harmony binds an alliance for a hundred years. It pairs year Gu with supplementary information path mortal Gu. Fang Yuan means to use it with Chu Du, since their current alliance agreement was handled by Chu Du alone and is unreliable. Unlucky Year, cored on Years Flow Like Water and still beyond his use, strikes an enemy with a year of severe misfortune, mimicking luck path through time path. Fang Yuan marvels that Hei Fan can mimic another path’s effects through his own, rare even among rank eight Gu Immortals. He compares Hei Fan to Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, Heavenly Court’s rank eight wisdom path Gu Immortal, who fixed Heaven Overseeing Tower with wisdom path methods rather than refinement path. ^{ch. 1130}

Endless Trouble, cored on after Immortal Gu, lets a Gu Immortal delay a calamity or tribulation to merge with the next one. Hei Fan warns against using it excessively, since the delay angers heaven’s will and the calamities and tribulations that follow grow far stronger. He used the move only once himself, naming it as a warning to his descendants. Fang Yuan is pleased to have it and plans to use it only in emergencies, since heaven’s will means to kill him regardless. Finishing the killer moves, he reflects that Hei Fan, lacking one of the ten extreme physiques, raised only three Immortal Gu, all time path. Yet pairing them with mortal Gu still unleashed incredible effects. Fang Yuan takes it as proof that no Immortal Gu is strongest by itself, only the Gu Immortal who wields it. ^{ch. 1130}
