Chapter 1539

With Fang Yuan temporarily trapped in the fetus earth maze, the situation stabilizes. Tie Mian Shen asks Lu Wei Yin how they will kill the demon. Lu Wei Yin refuses, saying all life deserves to live, though Yi Nan Men and Yi Yu urge him to kill now. There is no absolute evil person, he says, and Fang Yuan was not born evil. On the righteous path, he argues, Fang Yuan’s strength would bless the world, and the three Gu Immortals realize that he means to reform him. ^{ch. 1539}

Tie Mian Shen sighs that he will await Lu Wei Yin’s success. The three are no match for Fang Yuan and must depend on this rank eight Gu Immortal. Yi Nan Men asks him to open the battlefield so the Yi clan Gu Immortals can return to their clan. They had come to deal with the Tie, Shang and Hou clans, but Fang Yuan’s appearance took matters completely out of their control. Lu Wei Yin refuses, since reports to the clans and calls for reinforcements would defeat his objective. The three Gu Immortals, cut off from the outside, obey him helplessly. ^{ch. 1539}

Shang Xin Ci hesitantly asks whether Fang Yuan can really be reformed. She does not want the man she loves to walk the demonic path of no return. Asked whether he is inherently bad, she says he was not born evil and that she senses endless sadness beneath his cold attitude. Lu Wei Yin tells her Fang Yuan now needs her help. He says his killer move, fetus earth maze, lets a person live three lifetimes, experience mortal life fully, forget the evil in his heart and turn over a new leaf. ^{ch. 1539}

Lu Wei Yin assures her that her will, invested in the maze, would definitely reach Fang Yuan and summon the kindness in his heart. She agrees, and a lump of her will enters the maze like everyone else’s. Lu Wei Yin thinks her luck will keep them from being fully suppressed by Fang Yuan’s luck. ^{ch. 1539}

In immemorial white heaven, Chen Yi flies on, still injured by Fang clan’s first supreme elder and immemorial soul beast Qing Chou. He failed to get Divine Bean Palace, lost the battle and could not kill Qing Chou. He is very regretful. He is also very ashamed to have failed, as Heavenly Lotus Sect’s first supreme elder, to win back his sect ancestor’s possession. He decides to quit that role, cultivate in seclusion and reclaim the palace after a breakthrough. ^{ch. 1539}

With Central Continent in sight, three rank seven Gu Immortals, supreme elders from the other ten great ancient sects, stop him. They hand him an information path mortal Gu with Fairy Zi Wei’s letter. She tells him to make up for his failure by going to the immemorial white heaven of Northern Plains. He tells the three that Heavenly Court has already acted against Fang Yuan, and orders them to follow him. ^{ch. 1539}
