Chapter 1495

Back in the immortal Gu formation with Hei Lou Lan and Tang Fang Ming, Fang Yuan tallies his gains and losses. He tested heaven’s will dissipation with a satisfactory result and his theft path attainment has soared to grandmaster level, but his ten million man soul has collapsed to million man soul level. Unravel dream gave little help there. Using it so rarely kept his immortal essence outlay small, but his guts Gu spending rose enormously instead, and he now takes out guts Gu openly, envied by Tang Fang Ming, who calls him the sole guts Gu seller. Thieving Heaven’s dream realm, enormous as a mountain, has lost a large piece of its base from Fang Yuan clearing the first stage. Tang Fang Ming, who has explored it hundreds of times himself, admits his total gains fall far short of this single exploration, and feels shame alongside admiration. ^{ch. 1495}

Spending guts Gu without restraint restores Fang Yuan’s soul foundation to ten million man soul, and the dream realm’s corrosion has left his soul quality slightly more condensed than before. He judges this a minor benefit. It is far inferior to Luo Po Valley, one of two sacred lands for soul cultivation, which he chose to bring on this trip. He left Dang Hun Mountain behind since housing it too would overtax his aperture’s qi upkeep, relying instead on treasure yellow heaven to keep supplying guts Gu. Judging the second stage will definitely be harder, Fang Yuan decides to raise his soul foundation further first, spending the following period on soul path cultivation instead. ^{ch. 1495}

Meanwhile in Eastern Sea, Qing Yue Zhi Cheng asks Qing Yue clan’s first supreme elder for help, but the elder declines to act himself and instead points him toward a wisdom path Gu Immortal. He names Hua An, who hides in Nan Gong. One of the three current wisdom path experts, Hua An is close to You Chan and would surely help her if she were in trouble. Flying toward Nan Gong territory, Zhi Cheng meets a rank six Gu Immortal of Nan Gong clan who brings word that Hua An had already deduced his visit and waits ahead. Meeting Hua An, who admits You Chan had already sought his help in vain, both settle on the mysterious dragonfish seller who gains most from her death, not knowing that seller is Fang Yuan. Hua An fears the two fairies have fared badly and will ask the other two wisdom path experts to help deduce the culprit. Zhi Cheng insists they are still alive, since rank seven experts are not easily killed, and Hua An then proposes spreading rumors of their deaths to draw out whoever is plotting, a plan Zhi Cheng praises. ^{ch. 1495}

Half a month later, Fang Yuan’s soul foundation has risen to ninety million man soul, since he spent the time on soul path cultivation rather than killer moves. His guts Gu spending stays heavy. Even so his finances improve, since killing You Chan and Qin Bai He leaves Heavenly Court powerless to check his progress for a time, and he is now the top overlord of treasure yellow heaven’s dragonfish business. Silver dragonfish especially spur crazed sales, their price climbing at an alarming rate, while word that both fairies are dead has already run through Eastern Sea, which Fang Yuan reads as someone plotting from the shadows. Confident with his ninety million man soul, Fang Yuan rests one more day, then reenters the dream realm to explore Thieving Heaven’s second stage. ^{ch. 1495}
