Chapter 1679

Fang Yuan stands at the edge of Red Lotus’ stone island and studies the River of Time, the most special secluded domain of heaven and earth. He holds Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley. But he absolutely cannot seize the whole river. It belongs to all beings, and even Gu Immortals can at most possess a tributary inside their immortal apertures. ^{ch. 1679}

Several days after his arrival, Fang Yuan has completely absorbed Red Lotus’ true meaning, and his time path attainment has reached an unimaginable height: quasi-supreme grandmaster. He can now completely understand time cutting edge and restore its original might. With time path and refinement path both at that level, he has very high assurance in modifying time path Immortal Gu recipes and refining the Gu. ^{ch. 1679}

Regret Gu, a rank eight Immortal Gu, has extraordinary value, second only to the true meaning. It brings his rank eight Gu to five: Attitude, Wisdom Sword, Years Flow Like Water, Soul Beast Token and Regret. Red Lotus Demon Venerable had deduced Fang Yuan’s situation and left a large amount of time path immortal materials, the lowest at rank seven and many at rank eight. Regret Gu and those materials clear the greatest hurdle to building Regret Pool. He can refine Gu en masse and advance the rank of Gu he already holds. ^{ch. 1679}

The inheritance also holds immortal killer moves, the most valuable of them built around Spring Autumn Cicada. Spring autumn success raises the cicada’s success rate to one hundred percent, though it still reduces luck, and Fang Yuan has already decided to prepare it. Red Lotus Demon Venerable left one time path move already activated: Future Self. Once rank nine, its power has been greatly reduced over a million years, to rank seven, but it still works. Relying on the River of Time and this stone island, it lets a Gu Immortal temporarily borrow a certain future state of his own life. Useless to a rank eight Fang Yuan, it will go to his subordinates. ^{ch. 1679}

The whole inheritance is extremely plentiful, but Fang Yuan is slightly disappointed that it holds no shortcut for destroying fate Gu. The memory left behind shows only Red Lotus Demon Venerable’s rise to Immortal Venerable and his regretful life afterward. Red Lotus’ true meaning had told him no shortcut exists, and any that seems to would be a Heavenly Court trap. It cannot say why more memories were not left. It can only guess that Red Lotus Demon Venerable might not have wanted to steer Fang Yuan. It does not know where the other Red Lotus stone islands lie, since none can sense the others, a safeguard against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable and Heavenly Court. ^{ch. 1679}

Fang Yuan resolves that fate Gu must be destroyed. A Heavenly Court that restores fate Gu is completely different, since everyone else would be influenced or even manipulated by fate, and his enemies would be everything besides him. That is slightly exaggerated, but it is that serious. The more important reason is that fate Gu is the greatest obstacle to his pursuit of eternal life. It forbids revival and decrees that every living being must die. Red Lotus Demon Venerable may have deduced this, so he had no worry about Fang Yuan’s motivation. ^{ch. 1679}
