Chapter 1238

Fairy Bai Qing asks which of the youngsters Feng Jin Huang has met interests her, and Feng Jin Huang can only shake her head, unimpressed by her peers. Asked instead who left the deepest impression, she freezes as Fang Yuan’s image rises unbidden, her feelings extremely complex: he defeated her at Dang Hun Mountain, yet once saved Feng Jiu Ge’s life. Flustered, Fairy Bai Qing tells her not to think of him. She warns that Fang Yuan is an otherworldly demon reborn through Spring Autumn Cicada, probably older than either of her parents, and a very dangerous demon on the Demon Judgment Board. Feng Jin Huang protests that he saved her father, but Fairy Bai Qing insists gratitude and enmity stay separate: the family will repay that debt, then exterminate him if they meet again. ^{ch. 1238}

In Southern Border, Fang Yuan enters a new dream realm that could raise his luck path attainment, after giving up an earlier water path one that grew too hard. Giant Sun created luck path but never spread it, leaving its immortals very few. Fang Yuan must win three rock gambling rounds, picking the most valuable of three rocks each time. Having won twice already, he activates unravel dream, and the attending female Gu Master, under its effect, whispers him toward the middle rock, which proves most valuable as the first scene fades into the second. ^{ch. 1238}

At Longevity Heaven’s Calamity Luck Altar in Northern Plains, Five Elements Grandmaster stands pinned by the altar’s pressure while the Eight Extremities, Heaven Extremity, Earth Extremity, Black Extremity, Yellow Extremity, Space Extremity, Time Extremity, Flood Extremity, and Desolate Extremity, hold its corners. Longevity Heaven suddenly resounds with the immortal killer move ringing alarm bell, set by Ancestor Giant Sun to sound if the heaven met with trouble, though it had not triggered during Five Elements Grandmaster’s attack. Heaven Extremity reasons a worse danger is coming, and Earth Extremity says they can only awaken the Four Desolation Immortals: East Desolation, South Desolation, West Desolation, and North Desolation. A voice answers first. The Eight Extremities, eight rank seven Gu Immortals, greet it as Lord South Desolation, who is one of the four rank eight Desolation Immortals holding Longevity Heaven’s twelve core positions with them. He explains the bell means love Gu has entered Northern Plains, since Ancestor Giant Sun once wagered Heavenly Court over it, failed to refine it in three years, and instead set luck path methods to draw it there, their best chance to seize it. Knowing the move but not its details until now, the Eight Extremities vow excitedly to follow him and die for Longevity Heaven to obtain love Immortal Gu, a Gu with the power to defy fate, one even Ancestor Giant Sun was wary of. ^{ch. 1238}

A Gu formation traps the four as Bai Ning Bing appears, and Shi Nu accuses her of betrayal. She answers coldly that these remnants of Shadow Sect will die today. Ying Wu Xie, greatly surprised that she has broken free of his control, realizes she must have used the long lost humans alike dragons Gu refinement method Bai Xiang grotto-heaven still held. Before he can negotiate, the formation floods the space with snow and ice spears as the four scramble to defend themselves. ^{ch. 1238}

Back at Yi Tian Mountain’s super Gu formation, Fang Yuan wakes, his soul extremely weak but manageable with guts Gu on hand. His luck path attainment has jumped straight from ordinary to master level, the dream realm fully explored and his uses of unravel dream spent. The gain feels mystical, hard to put into words.
