Chapter 1651

A grindstone-sized lightning ball explodes on Miao Ming Shen’s back, and he vanishes with an immortal killer move to a spot several thousand steps away. The situation is truly at its worst, and his immortal aperture has run out of immortal essence. The immemorial thunder phoenix attacks again. None of the other seven Gu Immortals are left, because the rest died one by one while he lasted longest. Regretting that he explored this inheritance, he faces the phoenix’s claws and his vision falls into darkness. ^{ch. 1651}

Miao Ming Shen wakes to Immortal Hua Die’s concerned look, with Gui Qi Ye, Feng Jiang, Tu Tou Tuo and Chu Ying, who died first, all smiling around him. His injuries are gone, his Gu worms are intact, and his immortal essence is fully restored. The others say it was an illusion and a test set by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, who created Reincarnation Battlefield. He made such killer moves against the rank eight expert Combat Demon, and Reincarnation Battlefield is their peak. Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects have trained countless experts with it. Miao Ming Shen takes the test as a warning that experiencing death lets them give up many obsessions. Tong Hua adds that it tested battle strength, and Miao Ming Shen lasted longest. ^{ch. 1651}

Miao Ming Shen is joyful that his authority has grown but worried that most of his methods are exposed. With deep meaning, he remarks that of them all Chu Ying saved the most energy. Fang Yuan sighs with a bitter look of shame and claims he felt horrible, too unlucky to be targeted by the thunder phoenix. With attitude Gu, his acting looks sincere, and Miao Ming Shen’s suspicions fade. ^{ch. 1651}

They are on a nameless island that Tong Hua says they reached on waking. Miao Ming Shen shuts his eyes and uses his unique killer move for locating the blue dragon whale, finding that this is its immortal aperture world. The immortals are very surprised to arrive straight inside the whale. Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable subdued it, awakened its immortal aperture and left a true inheritance here, yet many later searchers found nothing. Miao Ming Shen says the first step is done and they should travel as a group. Fang Yuan proposes searching the island and claims he woke first and guarded the spot out of fear of danger. Miao Ming Shen sends them to look around, and they find a rank eight Immortal Gu House at the island’s center. ^{ch. 1651}

Eight Gu Immortals gather at the house, which looks like an inscribed gold obelisk. It is a merit board effective across the whole grotto-heaven, where outside Gu Immortals must complete its missions for merits and exchange them for Paradise Earth’s true inheritance. Anyone who refuses can only wait on this island, and Tong Hua reads that they may stay only three hundred days of the grotto-heaven’s time. Zeng Luo Zi notes that its ten missions all differ, meaning the Gu Immortals will compete, and the atmosphere grows heavy. Miao Ming Shen says they should test whether they can leave and research moving the Immortal Gu House to take it for themselves. He also proposes splitting the huge quantities of cultivation resources on the island, and everyone cheers. ^{ch. 1651}
