Chapter 1681

In Mini Central Continent inside the sovereign immortal aperture, Fang Yuan’s time path clone plants the last flower bud in a vast marshland he has made extremely fertile. House-sized buds stand every few kilometers. They belong to the desolate plant called extreme marsh flower. Fang Yuan took a small portion of them from the blue dragon whale’s immortal aperture and bought the rest from treasure yellow heaven. The clone is only rank six, so Fang Yuan’s main body lends it summer Gu, a rank eight Gu that came from the Gu Immortal Xia Cha, together with white litchi immortal essence. The clone activates a killer move modified from summer hoeing to raise extreme marsh flowers, and his quasi-supreme grandmaster time path attainment makes such modification simple. ^{ch. 1681}

The surroundings pass into the height of summer, and the flowers bloom into huge trumpets, mostly white with slight hints of pink. The water empties and the soil’s fertility is spent intensely, all as Fang Yuan arranged, using cultivation methods from Red Lotus’ and Shadow Sect’s true inheritances. White mist rises from the pistils, and the clone stops the killer move, leaving the air very moist. The clone names the place extreme marsh and counts the first step finished. ^{ch. 1681}

The mist is the food of rank eight regret Gu, whose appetite is huge, and it must be fresh, so buying it elsewhere is impractical. The clone plans to add water vegetation, ducks and flying fish, then keep expanding the flowers until the stored mist can fill regret Gu whenever it hungers. The sovereign immortal aperture’s development now stands at eighteen percent. Fang Yuan has greatly slowed its rate of time through the year essence pool, so production of resources and white litchi immortal essence has fallen. He will not quicken it blindly, since faster time brings tribulation sooner. With his battle strength risen little and nearly all his trump cards exposed when Heavenly Court ambushed him in the River of Time, tribulation is unwise, since opening his aperture would make him a fixed target for besiegers. Better aperture management will instead raise white litchi immortal essence output, now one hundred beads per year inside the aperture, over half a month outside. ^{ch. 1681}

Summer reaches the five regions, where earth vein tremors open new Earth Trenches and leave every Gu Immortal excited. In Central Continent the mortal Hong Yi nearly falls into a new ravine and survives only by good luck. A wounded wild Immortal Gu then drops exhausted beside his feet, leaving him dumbfounded. ^{ch. 1681}

At Heavenly Court, Fairy Zi Wei floods the great immortal formation with a formless force, and it grinds down on Spectral Soul, extracting his deepest memories. She obtains the mysteries of the Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique. She is haggard and pale but excited. She had worked extremely hard on Shadow Sect’s dream path research results while handling earth vein tremors across Central Continent. ^{ch. 1681}

The tremors only grow more intense, and immortal materials, wild Immortal Gu and cultivation resources appear constantly, creating a festive period in all five regions. In the Five Xiangs grotto-heaven, Fang Yuan laughs, having finally obtained full grasp of the killer move heaven form. It stands beside him as an obedient rank nine white crane. He hopes it will speed his cultivation and resolve the issue of calamities and tribulations. ^{ch. 1681}
