Chapter 1424

In Lang Ya blessed land, Sixth Hair labors for months at the final steps of refining cleanse soul Immortal Gu again. His face is covered in dust and soot, his eyes are bloodshot, and his hair is burnt. As his body nears its limit, he triggers a secret technique that spreads red snake tattoos across him and restores his strength. He knows the snake will kill him if it ever reaches his head. He receives the thousand li soul thread, an immortal material from ancient soul beasts. ^{ch. 1424}

It is so rare that its market value sits at rank eight level, though it is only quasi rank eight. A shorter length would have served, but Fang Yuan paid a huge price for this one to raise the odds and save time. Sixth Hair cuts a section and casts it into the flames, continuing the attempt. He is the person Fang Yuan trusts most in Lang Ya Sect, more than the land spirit. Purple Mountain True Monarch’s inheritance gave Fang Yuan deep foundations, and he has traded cultivation experiences, immortal killer moves and Immortal Gu recipes for the Lang Ya Sect contribution points funding this work. ^{ch. 1424}

An hour later, in Western Desert, Fang Yuan sits at the center of a huge, conspicuous immortal Gu formation about sixteen acres wide. Bai Ning Bing and the rest guard it. He expects it to finish purging his unfavorable dao marks within four hours. Sixth Hair transmits that the refinement has failed again, about the tenth time. This time the backlash is severe enough that he must rest. This troubles Fang Yuan. To keep heaven’s will out, Fang Yuan uses the human isolation style Gu refinement method rather than the hairy men’s nature Gu refinement technique. ^{ch. 1424}

Fang Yuan once held cleanse soul Immortal Gu and used it as a core of myriad self, before he lost that copy. He no longer seeks it for that. Now that he leads Shadow Sect and has the method, he wants it to strip the soul path trap that Ying Wu Xie left in his eight armed strength path immortal zombie body. That method needs rank seven cleanse soul Immortal Gu as its core. With it he can win wisdom Gu’s acknowledgement and wield the light of wisdom. ^{ch. 1424}

Fairy Miao Yin transmits that enemies have appeared to the southwest. Fang Yuan, unsurprised, notes he can barely sustain the formation. His stock of Wu clan’s hundred thousand immortal essence stones keeps shrinking. Heavenly Court’s pursuer proves to be Feng Jiu Ge, alone. Each notes the other has come without allies. When Fang Yuan warns him he will regret coming, Feng Jiu Ge frowns at a confidence he did not expect. He suspects Fang Yuan is hiding a scheme. ^{ch. 1424}
