Chapter 1647

Fang Zheng studies a valley of blood flower trees in his blessed land, supplied by Immortal Crane Sect through Fan Xi Liu as proxy. In huge quantities these mortal Gu materials equal immortal materials. He holds rank six blood path Immortal Gu Cold Blood and Blood Revenge, which need mortal blood path Gu to form immortal killer moves. Fan Xi Liu imparted him an immortal killer move of blood path, which he must practice beside refining such Gu. ^{ch. 1647}

Away from his aperture, Fang Zheng feels pressure and thinks of Fang Yuan. Fan Xi Liu has given him information from Heavenly Court that is much more detailed than what circulates outside. He has known since his rescue that Fang Yuan lived, yet the whole truth brings sadness instead of rage and the admission that he never truly understood him. Learning of the otherworldly demon, Spring Autumn Cicada and rank eight cultivation, he feels minuscule and faces a hint of despair without denying it. Even with his strength greatly grown, he is a pawn between Fang Yuan and Heavenly Court, his freedom dwindled. ^{ch. 1647}

Among his ascension gifts, Zhao Lian Yun’s letter expresses goodwill, and Fang Zheng reads in its subtle words that she wants to join him against Fang Yuan. He judges her an otherworldly demon, although not completely. She also sends a method for growing a blood type plant resource that suits him, and tribulation accounts he finds very useful. He finds her very sincere and regrets that Immortal Crane Sect does not allow them to meet. ^{ch. 1647}

Fairy Zi Wei is pleased Fang Zheng is a Gu Immortal, though he must raise his cultivation level to counter Fang Yuan. She knows Zhao Lian Yun’s intention, since Ma Hong Yun died but his soul is still kept by Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan has vanished since escaping the River of Time’s encirclement, and she finds his skillful management more terrifying than his battle strength. Spectral Soul is slowly losing control, and Heavenly Court gains more and more vital information. A time path Immortal Gu House is repaired in the River of Time, four in total. She will contact Wu Yong, so that Fang Yuan cannot live comfortably. ^{ch. 1647}

Some days later, Fang Yuan’s killer move enters Hei Lou Lan’s immortal aperture and destroys her tribulation instantly. Her Lou Lan blessed land is poor, since she never truly developed her aperture despite high aptitude. Fang Yuan wants that, because the resources he supplies control her, as they do Ying Wu Xie, Bai Ning Bing and the rest. He urges her to leave, since his wisdom path methods can block the enemy only for some time, and each tribulation greatly disrupts those methods. She stores her aperture and enters the sovereign immortal aperture. Fang Yuan leaves with Fixed Immortal Travel, and Wu Yong and the rest fail to catch him. ^{ch. 1647}

The Southern Border Gu Immortals sense the lingering aura and conclude that Fang Yuan is helping lackeys through a fourth tribulation to raise their levels. Wu Yong says Fixed Immortal Travel makes him too quick to catch, so the immortals will place many Beacon Towers and combine in treasure yellow heaven against his businesses. Fang Yuan, back in Qi Sea grotto-heaven and safe for now, notes they are targeting his businesses. Devouring the Five Xiang’s public grotto-heaven and Qi Sea grotto-heaven gave him a vast amount of resources, so the pressure is bearable. Yet he cannot endure Heavenly Court and Southern Border working together if it continues. The Southern Border Gu Immortal captives know the resources he took from them, so they can target his businesses efficiently, and he needs a plan. ^{ch. 1647}
