Chapter 1541

Lang Ya land spirit attacks with Heavenly Giant Solor and the hairy man Gu Immortals, so the Central Continent Gu Immortals retreat. Feng Jiu Ge lags behind on purpose. Victory greatly depends on him as leader. The land spirit recognizes Feng Jiu Ge of Central Continent’s Spirit Affinity House and grasps that the ten great ancient sects, and thus Heavenly Court, are enemies of the blessed land. Fifth Hair, called Little Five, uses an immortal killer move that makes the silver giant fire a very threatening beam of light. Feng Jiu Ge vanishes, and the beam shoots far past him. ^{ch. 1541}

Feng Jiu Ge reappears in front of the giant. He answers with the immortal killer move Triple Extreme Sound. It combines drum fist, bell palm and whistle finger from Three Sounds true inheritance, and he learned the whistle finger only after Fang Yuan escaped his pursuit. Each strike costs little immortal essence and adds slightly to the power, so a hundred rapid attacks make the move stronger. The giant stumbles and the hairy man Gu Immortals inside grow dizzy. Third Hair lays dark green wooden armor on the giant, and the armor completely absorbs the sound waves. Fourth Hair creates a golden qi spiral whose currents gather around Feng Jiu Ge, who cannot shrug them off and is in danger. ^{ch. 1541}

Fang Yun Hua starts a killer move to help, but the giant shoots a huge beam at him. Against its rank eight battle strength his defense lasts only three breaths, enough to scatter as white cloudy light and reform high in the sky. Fang Yun Hua bleeds from the mouth, pale with shock. The giant’s side sensed the flaw his distraction exposed through an investigative method that came from Shadow Sect, passed on when Fang Yuan exchanged true inheritances with the land spirit. It greatly disrupts the Central Continent Gu Immortals, who come from different sects. Feng Jiu Ge decides to stall the giant himself and orders the others to split up and set up the immortal Gu formation so that reinforcements can come. The order is an open scheme: the giant cannot deal with seven Gu Immortals, and the hairy men are no match one on one, so the land spirit can neither split his forces nor keep them together. ^{ch. 1541}

Far away in Southern Border, inside the fetus earth maze, Fang Yuan wakes on a bed, heavily injured and unsure who he is. An old lady calls him her son Shen San. She says young master Shu had him beaten to make him give up Xiu Niang, and she urges him to give up. Some days later he learns that he and Xiu Niang were betrothed from birth, but his father’s death cost the family its only Gu Master. Xiu Niang’s family now prefers young master Shu, whose huge clan has dozens of Gu Masters. ^{ch. 1541}

Xiu Niang comes despite her parents’ ban and sobs over his injuries. Fang Yuan studies her as if for the first time, a truly peerless beauty, and silently thinks it no wonder young master Shu likes her. Upset, she holds his hands and recounts ordinary scenes of their love to make him remember her. His love slowly awakens, and he caresses her face and says her name. She answers, calling him her dear Shen San. ^{ch. 1541}

Outside the maze, Lu Wei Yin smiles that Fang Yuan is not emotionless and still has love in him. Gu Immortals like Tie Mian Shen and mortals like Shang Xin Ci float in the air with eyes shut. Shang Xin Ci looks rosy, as if in a beautiful dream she cannot leave. Lu Wei Yin sighs deeply that all of them must forget themselves in the maze and live as another person, and that with sufficient comprehension they will definitely gain something useful. ^{ch. 1541}
