Chapter 1305

Once Fang Yuan refines the rank six vajra thought Immortal Gu, Wu Yu Bo’s will says goodbye and flies away. It had served only as the righteous path’s middleman. Wu Yong could not reward him openly without exposing himself to political attack, so the gift comes through Wu Yu Bo instead, paid for by the clan. ^{ch. 1305}

Fang Yuan smiles bitterly at gaining another Immortal Gu. He already holds too many, and the burden is huge. Still, a wisdom path Gu fills a gap. It brings his wisdom path Immortal Gu to four: attitude Gu, unravel mystery Gu, affection Gu and vajra thought Gu. That is enough for his grandmaster attainment to use well. ^{ch. 1305}

Testing it, Fang Yuan finds the golden thoughts poor at deduction, hard to fuse and quick to break apart. This does not surprise him. Vajra thought Immortal Gu is built for combat, not for thought. ^{ch. 1305}

Fired outside his mind, a single thought moves at about half the speed of sword escape Immortal Gu. This speed satisfies him, since vajra thought is only rank six against sword escape’s rank seven. Mortal vajra thought Gu produce the same quality of thought, only far fewer; his rank six Immortal Gu already produces thousands or tens of thousands at once. A test shot drills deep through a floor tile with decent power. It reminds Fang Yuan of a bullet from Earth. ^{ch. 1305}

Recalling Dong Fang Chang Fan’s myriad star fireflies and Ye Lui Qun Xing’s star-fragment killer move, Fang Yuan decides to imitate the former. He uses vajra thought Immortal Gu as the core. His wisdom path intuition tells him it will not be tough. ^{ch. 1305}

The deduction goes smoothly. It is half complete within an hour. A day and a night later, deduced without rest as a divination tortoise, it is finished. ^{ch. 1305}

A new inspiration follows: a killer move built only on a rank six core is not powerful enough alone. Fang Yuan leaves it unnamed. He plans instead to modify it with divination tortoise transformation, combining wisdom and transformation paths. The process is difficult and takes time, but he is not anxious. As long as he uses the dream realm, his foundation will keep growing rapidly, and reverse flow protection seal has raised his confidence greatly. ^{ch. 1305}

Three days later, with the modification thirty percent done, Wu Yong summons him. He offers to let Fang Yuan exchange vajra thought Immortal Gu for another rank six Gu from the clan treasury. Fang Yuan’s silence about the gift had made Wu Yong think he did not realize it was really a reward from the clan. ^{ch. 1305}

Fang Yuan understands the whole arrangement and only pretends otherwise. He reads that Wu Yong, short on Gu Immortals under mounting pressure, wants to make use of him. Ba clan is separately stirring trouble at the giant dream realm’s super Gu formation. That has stalled Wu Yong’s earlier plan to send him there. ^{ch. 1305}

Wanting no part of clan affairs, Fang Yuan instead asks to look through the inner treasury. He is curious what the clan’s best Immortal Gu are, though he needs none of them. His aim is to probe Wu clan’s foundation. ^{ch. 1305}
