Chapter 1634

Fang Yuan wakes in an underground cave lit by dim flames. After leaving Qing Ye and the rest, he followed a tributary of the River of Time out to Southern Border, the headquarters of Shadow Sect. There he used Fixed Immortal Travel to rest in an eerie fire cave set up by Purple Mountain True Monarch. A few days later he has healed, because the dao marks of his sovereign immortal body do not conflict and its healing effects are very effective. His rank eight white litchi immortal essence has also risen, though it is still in the red zone. ^{ch. 1634}

He judges that he suffered greatly in the River of Time and barely survived. Heavenly Court’s foundation is too deep, and its unified mindset beats Southern Border’s righteous path, whose clans chase individual benefits. Reverse Flow River has barely any water left because Li Huang drained it. Unlike Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley, which have orderly well, it cannot be repaired rapidly with Landscape as Before, and any method of restoring it would incur huge costs. He cannot use reverse flow protection seal for the foreseeable future, though rank eight and Xia Cha’s methods raised his strength. ^{ch. 1634}

He exposed too many methods. The immemorial year beasts, spring scissors and summer fan were exposed as part of his plan, but time cutting edge was truly a shame to reveal. Without it he might have died. He did probe Heavenly Court’s foundation, which has a mysterious method to make Spring Autumn Cicada resonate. The ambushing time path formation was aimed at Red Lotus’ true inheritance rather than at him. Spring Autumn Cicada is the key to opening that inheritance. Heavenly Court must be studying the inheritance from that Gu, which it cannot refine but can largely mimic. ^{ch. 1634}

Li Huang and Qing Ye are new rank eight Gu Immortals. Nobody knows how deep Heavenly Court’s foundation truly is. Besides the three Immortal Gu Houses that chased him, the one he destroyed earlier lost few Immortal Gu, and Heavenly Court can still refine it. Next time he expects four or more houses sealing off the River of Time. Attacking Heavenly Court directly would fail, and attacking the ten great ancient sects is extremely risky because of Fairy Zi Wei. ^{ch. 1634}

Fang Yuan knows he must face Heavenly Court to find Red Lotus’ true inheritance. The more defenses it places in the river, the more that inheritance matters to his hope of destroying fate Gu. Heavenly Court might find it first, so he needs to be fast and reach the stone lotus island. He does not know what Red Lotus Demon Venerable left there, and perhaps Heavenly Court does not either. Fate Gu is about to recover, so he must go even at huge risk, and he will raise his strength to break through. ^{ch. 1634}
