Chapter 1407

Fang Yuan receives a rank seven self love Immortal Gu, refined by Sixth Hair and sent through treasure yellow heaven, and feels joy that spending all his soul foundation was not a waste. He credits it to luck raised to an unprecedented level by dog shit luck Immortal Gu, his ties to Ye Fan, Hong Yi and Han Li, and two uses of burning soul bursting luck. Self love Immortal Gu is not shaped like a worm but like a horn shaped rice dumpling, its bamboo leaf surface one with the inside and its grey-white threads markings that shift location every few breaths. Hei Lou Lan commits its appearance to memory. ^{ch. 1407}

Ying Wu Xie, speaking from within Fairy Cui Bo’s body, declares this Gu lets them use self cleansing against any investigative killer move. Fang Yuan explains that self love is the core of that move, which clears harmful dao marks and keeps the beneficial ones. Hei Lou Lan sees hope in this. It could break the alliance agreement binding her to Shadow Sect, which she never joined willingly. They travel a hundred thousand li to a sand dune, and Fang Yuan begins the killer move. ^{ch. 1407}

Self love floats inside his sovereign immortal aperture, emitting a sweet scent but no light, and draws mortal Gu into a river around it, the first step of self cleansing. Adding wisdom path Immortal Gu from Purple Mountain True Monarch’s inheritance disturbs this river, and only skilled technique and control keep it stable. Fang Yuan fails three times, once badly enough that the river breaks apart and he spits blood, healed by Man as Before. Each failure forces the group to move on. On the fourth attempt he succeeds, and a gentle light runs from his head into his body, growing extremely murky by his feet. He inspects the result and tells the others it is not satisfactory. ^{ch. 1407}

In Southern Border, Wu clan has dealt with the super Gu formation and treated supreme elder Wu Bei, who had fainted. Wu Yong finds a huge pit and learns the formation drew on the earth vein, which suffered a once in ten thousand years tremor at that exact moment. He had pulled Fang Yuan’s life tablet Gu and soul lantern Gu clear in time, losing a rank six Immortal Gu in the process, and his hatred for Fang Yuan deepens. Wu Fa reports the earthquake also struck Tie, Yi, Chai and Chi clans among others and answers Wu Yong that it likely reached all of Southern Border, a magnitude unprecedented there. In Wu Yong’s hand, Fang Yuan’s life tablet Gu and soul lantern Gu, both mortal Gu, crack apart and are completely destroyed. Wu Yong is shocked, wondering if Fang Yuan used some method against them. ^{ch. 1407}
