Chapter 1562

Lang Ya land spirit casts slumbering lightning python, a rank eight refinement path killer move, and it turns elephant armor mountain, an immemorial immortal material of information path, completely to fine powder. Over several hours the land spirit processes over ten rank eight information path materials, and the powder gathers with the others into a rotating multicolored whirlpool. Extremely exhausted, the land spirit declares it done. A hairy man Gu Immortal removes the refinement path immortal formation, and the whirlpool’s aura draws a distant wisdom Gu, which jumps in looking drunk. ^{ch. 1562}

Lang Ya land spirit relates legends that the wisdom Gu recipe holds many information path immortal materials and that a wild wisdom Gu advances only where information path dao marks abound. That recipe is in neither Spectral Soul’s nor Lang Ya’s true inheritance, and only Heavenly Court has some records. Fang Yuan cannot control wisdom Gu, but he can move the whirlpool from afar. The various rank eight materials merged into this temporary whirlpool are a cost Fang Yuan naturally bears. Both sides agree he owes it for now, as he urgently needs to refill his immortal essence after an intense battle. ^{ch. 1562}

Fang Yuan announces closed cultivation to deduce a way out of his predicament. Using Strength Reversing Life and Death, he turns his time path clone back into an immortal zombie before wisdom Gu, which erupts with the light of wisdom. He shelves the dao marks that Feng Jiu Ge’s group left and puts elevating yama first, since leaving the blessed land would make maintaining yama cost really too much immortal essence. Heavenly Court already holds many clues on him. Over more than a month of deduction, the hardest stage is resolved when he adds rank eight Immortal Gu Soul Beast Token, and yama transforms hugely. Fang Yuan renames it emperor yama, built from ghostly concealment, ghost official garment, Soul Beast Token and myriad self. It is only an initial version needing constant adjustment. ^{ch. 1562}

His clone finishes, and Fang Yuan hands over a method for the dao marks. The land spirit curses Heavenly Court’s sinister craftiness, since removing the dao marks by refinement path methods would instead help the marks. Fang Yuan sees through the scheme, and his method clears the marks quickly once Lang Ya blessed land relocates, while other methods need more than ten years. The land spirit, very worried, suspects Heavenly Court arranged this to force a relocation, and Fang Yuan shares the worry. Heavenly Court more likely waits, prepared, for the blessed land to expose itself, yet staying means discovery sooner or later. ^{ch. 1562}

Concluding that they can only prepare to relocate, Fang Yuan gives the land spirit the recipe for myriad self Immortal Gu. He says refining it will be a huge boost to his battle strength. The land spirit says the Gu would be at least rank seven, but several materials are scarce in the sect’s storage and hard to buy quickly. Fang Yuan answers with a slight smile that he will gather the materials himself, intending to test the new emperor yama in a real battle. ^{ch. 1562}
