Chapter 1560

Beating the famous rank eight Thunder Ghost True Monarch is a completely different thing from beating a rank six or seven Gu Immortal. Fang Yuan did not have an easy time, but the battle establishes him as the number one rank seven in the world, bringing down Feng Jiu Ge. His name becomes truly renowned, and even rank eight Gu Immortals will watch this rank seven monster closely. All of this is his scheme. Although he was defeated, he retreated by choice and used the rib bones to shake the Gu Immortal world, stirring complicated feelings in Chu Du, displeasure in Wu Yong and a sigh from Lu Wei Yin. ^{ch. 1560}

Back in Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan feels a huge difference. The variant human Gu Immortals, including Lang Ya land spirit, hold him in genuine awe, with a completely different attitude, and welcome him eagerly. With Heavenly Court waiting to attack, he is their pillar, since the immemorial rock dragon is only an immemorial desolate beast. Heavenly Giant Solor has rank eight battle strength yet cannot match a genuine rank eight Gu Immortal. They now treat him as a rank eight Gu Immortal and lower their heads slightly. ^{ch. 1560}

Fang Yuan is slightly cold, talking only a little with the land spirit and Bing Yuan and nodding to Xue Er, who lowers her head bashfully. He declines a feast. He says the danger demands good use of time. He sends the others away and tells the land spirit that he is first a supreme elder of Lang Ya Sect and only then a member of the alliance. This eases the land spirit’s gloom over handing over the refinement path true meaning. ^{ch. 1560}

In the first cloud city, the land spirit reports that Fang Yuan’s perceivable dao Immortal Gu revealed Heavenly Court’s arrangements, harmful dao marks that must be removed before the blessed land can be moved. He has tried almost all methods without effect. Fang Yuan holds back his own self cleansing, which once removed inextinguishable star target. He asks instead for the refinement path true meaning, promising to surely resolve the problem once he is a refinement path quasi-supreme grandmaster. ^{ch. 1560}

The land spirit, reluctant to part with his ultimate treasure, nods because he agreed before and the situation is grave. The true meaning is Long Hair Ancestor’s will, a crystal clear figure like diamond sitting cross-legged without a physical body. It is completely still, which is how it has lasted so long. Fang Yuan completely absorbs it into his mind in several hours, making it his own foundation. His refinement path attainment, relatively unspectacular until now, soars to quasi-supreme grandmaster in one step. ^{ch. 1560}

Extremely moved, Fang Yuan stays seated to savor this truly enormous gain. He still lacks experience in refining Gu, refinement path Immortal Gu and refinement path killer moves, but practice will make his progress skyrocket. Refinement path history has only three supreme grandmasters, so he should be in the top ten. A mortal Gu recipe now reveals its profundities at a glance, and some problems in Immortal Gu recipes clear up once he concentrates. Complex rank eight recipes still need constant pondering with wisdom path methods, but his thoughts no longer err. His battle strength may not have changed, but his view has almost reached the highest point of Gu cultivation. ^{ch. 1560}

He sees that nurturing, using and refinement of Gu are one, each containing the others. From a complete recipe he can tell how a worm should be nurtured and what it does, and work backward to its refinement. He then realizes that any killer move can be considered an incomplete Gu recipe. His body shakes as he comprehends this maxim. ^{ch. 1560}
