Chapter 1237

In a dream realm, Fang Yuan holds a branch the moonlight nearly cut through and judges that with luck it could yield over ten dream path mortal Gu. At Bai Xiang grotto-heaven, the humans alike dragons Gu refinement method reaches its final crucial moment, and Bai Xiang heavenly spirit begs its master to persevere. Bai Ning Bing’s body has melted under intense heat, and the intense pain has not stopped for weeks. He survives by gritting his teeth. The heavenly spirit senses Bai Ning Bing’s determination hardening rather than breaking, and had not expected success, since his situation was too terrible while past dragonman attempts came only after ample and careful preparation. ^{ch. 1237}

A thunder-like boom sounds as a fiery dragon dives into the fused lump of meat, which reddens to the extreme and explodes. The heavenly spirit mutters that the refinement succeeded as a new Bai Ning Bing rises and declares herself free at last. The spirit kneels, congratulating her on a new life and regained immortal status. She descends expressionless, her skin white as snow, her features more distinct and her beauty past her former self, her pale blue dragon eyes cold, then startles that she has a real immortal aperture yet is now a woman. The spirit explains that the method uses its master as material, so the result follows the mix involved, and her transformation path dao marks, already present, shaped the body into a dragon lady. ^{ch. 1237}

Her information path dao marks and old alliance agreements are gone, though the transformation marks still affected the outcome, which matched the spirit’s account that the method cannot be strictly controlled. She calls it a curse dating to Qing Mao Mountain. She asks how to become a man again. The spirit says cultivating transformation path would do it easily, but she refuses, meaning to keep her Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique for ice and snow path instead. The deeper fix, it says, is to find the other half of her past rotation Gu and refine it into an Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan’s image rises as an obstacle, and she credits him with a rank eight upper extreme heavenly eagle, expecting a long plan to take that crucial Gu from him. ^{ch. 1237}

In Central Continent, Spirit Affinity House’s first supreme elder tells Bu Zhen Zi to protect the sect’s fairy Zhao Lian Yun, only a recently ascended false immortal, on the Northern Plains journey, and Bu Zhen Zi vows to keep her safe while he lives. The elder warns Zhao Lian Yun not to charge ahead, since elites from the ten great ancient sects give good odds. She bows deeply to the elder, to Xu Hao, and to Li Jun Ying. Then Bu Zhen Zi takes her away on a ruin bat. Feng Jiu Ge, rank eight in battle strength at rank seven cultivation, had asked to join too, but Heavenly Court refused him unexplained. ^{ch. 1237}

Fairy Bai Qing goes to find their daughter Feng Jin Huang. Feng Jin Huang has just lost the fairy position to Zhao Lian Yun’s love Gu acknowledgment and Heavenly Court’s backing. Feng Jin Huang, eyes red from crying in secret, says she was really wondering why love Gu never acknowledged her. Fairy Bai Qing tells her it is because she lacks love, an affinity unlike family feeling or friendship that came suddenly with Feng Jin Huang’s father and cannot be forced. Feng Jin Huang refuses to leave it to fate and asks whether finding love herself could still win the fairy position back. Fairy Bai Qing thinks this basically impossible but cannot say so, and tells her only that she would need a lover who is not her father, mother, or the women already around her. ^{ch. 1237}
