Chapter 1639

Fang Yuan, surprised by heaven form, soon understands the matter. Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable found the natural heavenly spirit in white heaven and could not refine it, since heaven’s will replenished it endlessly. He combined it with other Gu worms into a rank nine immortal killer move, which slows that replenishment. He could not use it unrefined, and he never did. Before vanishing, he left it behind, saying that generations of wills must cleanse it before a Gu Immortal can truly refine it. He called it only half a Thieving Heaven true inheritance. ^{ch. 1639}

The Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs later found it in immemorial white heaven, but only one person could use it, and all five wanted it. They could not agree. Their group fell apart, and when the five of them could not refine the move, they set up the bet to decide its owner. The Five Xiangs eventually died, and generations later Qi clan gained the decisive advantage and was about to succeed. Fang Yuan’s interference fills its Gu Immortals with fury, and they believe a rank nine killer move would let them defeat or at least negotiate with him. ^{ch. 1639}

Fang Yuan instills his will into the move beside Bai Ning Bing. It holds a stubborn lump of heaven’s will that stands like a fortress. Below it lies a vast sea of wills left by past participants, among them rank eight Gu Immortals like the Five Xiangs and rank seven elites like Ni clan’s Gu Immortal Ni Er. These wills stay completely still, and only the newly entered wills move. Three of the five Qi clan wills go to deal with Bai Ning Bing’s will, while the other two attack the fortress. Qi clan’s Gu Immortals cry that whoever refines that central fortress will own heaven form. ^{ch. 1639}

The Qi clan Gu Immortals spur each other on, since failing to refine the move would leave them in pitiful states at the hands of the ruthless Fang Yuan. His will charges and moves like a soaring dragon. Three of their wills cannot resist it and keep retreating. They are only qi path Gu Immortals, and he has a huge advantage in this aspect. They hope the move might let them kill him for good and win many venerable true inheritances. They urge each other to stall for time and expend his will, so that he cannot take down the fortress. ^{ch. 1639}
