Chapter 1649

In Five Xiang’s public grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan receives a letter from Miao Ming Shen inviting him to explore the blue dragon whale. The clash between Miao Ming Shen and Ren Xiu Ping comes earlier than his memories of five hundred years in a previous life predict. He weighs his rebirth’s influence, tampered memories and a Heavenly Court plot, and deduces that Heavenly Court probably did not plan this. He decides he must go to Eastern Sea. ^{ch. 1649}

Northern Plains and Central Continent are extremely dangerous for him, with Heavenly Court and Longevity Heaven there. Fang Yuan stays in Southern Border, whose super forces he knows well and where Shadow Sect has its headquarters. Hei Lou Lan and the rest underwent tribulation there too. Tribulation outside the home region harms an aperture, which suits his control. He has refined the many Immortal Gu from Qi Sea grotto-heaven, and will definitely master the stubborn rank nine killer move heaven form in time. ^{ch. 1649}

Heavenly Court and the righteous path of Southern Border obstruct his businesses in treasure yellow heaven, and his capital cannot match theirs. A guts Gu monopoly would solve this, but he lacks souls, and the repaired Dang Hun Mountain cannot raise production. His green ghost desert plan failed, Qing Chou is missing, and his exposed Suan Bu Jin identity leaves him wary of using Fang clan. His income dwindles. Heavenly Court buys every time path immortal material it can find, and may refine a fifth Immortal Gu House. His hopes of Red Lotus’ true inheritance dwindle. ^{ch. 1649}

Fang Yuan needs many time path materials for refining time path Immortal Gu, and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s earth path inheritance may hold few, yet he must go. Lu Wei Yin, Southern Border’s rank eight Gu Immortal, inherits Paradise Earth now, and the true inheritance might give Fang Yuan a way to deal with him. More important, the blue dragon whale seems to contain rank eight Immortal Gu Regret. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable made this wisdom path Gu of the emotion branch the core of Regret and Repent, a killer move that turned many demonic path Gu Immortals from evil. Besides tributaries of the River of Time, it is the core of Immortal Gu House Regret Pool, which Fang Yuan wants to recreate, and the half-complete Regret Pool left in Eastern Sea lacked it. Above all, it would let him replicate part of Regret Pool’s power to aid Gu refinement. He extorted Southern Border’s righteous path to create the incomplete Immortal Gu House, but it was destroyed in the River of Time and he retrieved none of its Gu worms. ^{ch. 1649}

Several days later in Eastern Sea, Miao Ming Shen stands among eight Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan one of them, and says anyone may leave. Nobody moves. The inheritance is too valuable, and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, the kindest venerable in history, left inheritances known to be safe. Miao Ming Shen, very excited, calls for an alliance agreement and asks Zeng Luo Zi, a rank seven information path cultivator, to present it. The agreement’s information appears in everyone’s minds at once, and many Gu Immortals look slightly surprised. This display affirms Zeng Luo Zi’s superior status, and the Gu Immortals are already competing in the dark. ^{ch. 1649}
