Chapter 1529

Inside Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal aperture, the great thief ghost hand grips rank eight Immortal Gu Soul Beast Token, which struggles and nearly breaks the hand open. With ghostly concealment as its core and great thief Immortal Gu among its supplements, the hand can even steal a rank eight Gu. The move has no sealing properties and cannot last long, so Fang Yuan must refine the Gu himself. Heaven Sealing Mountain is empty now, since his immortal zombie body carries his split soul as a rank six time path clone. He sends the hand into the cave and Gu formation there. Activating it suppresses the Gu temporarily, though it still struggles. ^{ch. 1529}

Fang Yuan leaves Divine Bean Palace and exits through a loophole in peach blossom maze. Chen Yi grits his teeth but cannot act while facing Qing Chou and Fang Gong. Fang Di Chang sighs deeply and praises Fang Yuan’s resolution. Outside, Fang Yuan meets countless soul beasts and refuses to kill them for soul cores, since refining the Gu comes first. He gives up on Divine Bean Palace, because even with reverse flow protection seal he has only rank eight battle strength, and exposing it would reveal his identity and might invite Fang clan’s attacks. He also wants to work with Fang clan and cultivate soul path in green ghost desert, and the alliance agreement is not easy to get rid of. ^{ch. 1529}

Even with the token gone, the desert’s soul path dao marks keep corroding peach blossom maze, yet yama lets Fang Yuan pass the soul beasts unseen. Far from anyone, he lands on an ordinary desert, goes underground and sets up a temporary Gu formation that erases his aura. He must replace Qing Chou’s will inside the Gu with his own. He first uses self love Immortal Gu so that Qing Chou’s will loves itself and will not self detonate the Gu. Next he sends in the will of affection Immortal Gu, which Qing Chou’s will quickly destroys, though not completely. He stops once the remainder reaches its limit, then sends in self will, which loses every clash but is endless given enough immortal essence. ^{ch. 1529}

Qing Chou’s will cannot be replenished, so over time Fang Yuan’s advantage grows until he holds half the control over Soul Beast Token. Qing Chou’s will rumbles intensely and wants to detonate the Gu, but lingering affection will erases that determination and fake will interferes with the decision. At last Fang Yuan erases all of Qing Chou’s lingering will and finishes refining Soul Beast Token, extremely tired after three days and nights outside. He notes that he only replicated a trace of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s capabilities. Legend says that the steal heart move of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable steals the will inside Immortal Gu and refines them instantly. ^{ch. 1529}

Fang Yuan stores Soul Beast Token and returns to green ghost desert. He plans to enslave Qing Chou with the Gu, together with hundred and eighty slaves, which would give him a huge possibility of obtaining Divine Bean Palace. At the desert’s periphery, a rank seven female Gu Immortal named He Gu stops him and offers to buy information about a precious treasure rumored to have emerged. Fang Yuan realizes that Fang clan’s huge commotion stirred the soul beasts and drew Western Desert’s Gu Immortals, many of whom arrived during his three days of refining. He wonders how the battle ended and who obtained Divine Bean Palace. ^{ch. 1529}
