Chapter 1630

On the deck of Eternal Yacht, Shang Xunzi lies coughing and drenched, and beside him Xia Xunzi has fainted with severe injuries. Rank eight Gu Immortal Qing Ye tells Shang Xunzi that the other two were swept away by the River of Time. Shang Xunzi forces himself up and says they have already died. Shang Xunzi asks first about salvaging Present and Past Pavilion, and Qing Ye reports every core Immortal Gu recovered. The siblings have deep kinship, yet Shang Xunzi shows neither anger nor sadness. Their unique killer move lets one survivor rapidly revive three dead siblings, so he does so in a prepared room. Soon all four return uninjured and enter battle again. ^{ch. 1630}

Meanwhile Fang Yuan’s second batch of immemorial year beasts surrounds Eternal Yacht to draw its attention. He rests inside the incomplete Immortal Gu House, a useful base. Eternal Yacht does not chase the house, and he relaxes slightly. The yacht is faster, so its failure to give chase shows it cannot see through the house’s concealment. ^{ch. 1630}

His time path clone tries to track the stone lotus islands holding Red Lotus true inheritances, but his vital Gu Spring Autumn Cicada gives no reaction. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable deduced that a higher rank widens its detection range. Fang Yuan’s Gu is only rank six, since his refinement attempts failed. Still, he is confident he has made up for it, having pushed luck path methods like burning soul bursting luck to the limit. ^{ch. 1630}

Two immemorial year beasts fight ahead, which Fang Yuan takes as luck path at work. Blending into the river with familiar face, he activates the immemorial year beast fishing formation. The beasts sense a tributary of the River of Time, in truth his sovereign immortal aperture, and rush in until the year essence pools trap them. The two pools now act as dams that keep the aperture very safe. He subdues both with enslavement path. Luring more as the house searches, he brings his immemorial year beasts to six, adds more ancient and desolate ones, and ignores day beasts, month beasts and dark web spiders. ^{ch. 1630}

His time path clone opens his eyes and points one way, unsure, saying Spring Autumn Cicada shuddered a little. Fang Yuan steers the house there on this only clue. The house rushes into a thin fog that Spring Autumn Cicada guides the clone through, and the silhouette of an island appears. Ying Wu Xie shouts that it is a stone lotus island and a Red Lotus true inheritance. At its periphery the island shoots a white light that hits the house, and Fang Yuan recognizes a trap too late to escape. A tall muscular rank eight Gu Immortal appears on the island, says he has waited long for the demon, and his prepared killer move breaks the house apart at once. ^{ch. 1630}
