Chapter 1684

In immemorial white heaven, Fang Yuan rides an auspicious cloud, half his concentration refining Gu in his sovereign immortal aperture and half on guard. He sells part of his plunder in treasure yellow heaven, where immortal material trade is very popular, time path materials most of all. Heavenly Court buys all of them at high prices to suppress him, unaware that he already holds one of Red Lotus’s true inheritances. Only two Immortal Gu remain at rank six, and the others reach rank seven. ^{ch. 1684}

His cloud speeds up, and he finds heaven form circling an ordinary looking spot of air. It has found Profound Literature grotto-heaven, the aperture of a rank eight information path Gu Immortal, with a large population, many Gu Immortals and a unique cultivation style. The grotto-heaven has annexed an immemorial nine heavens fragment, leaving its heavenly spirit muddle-headed and itself unable to move. Its dao marks are mainly information path, the path its Gu Masters and Gu Immortals chiefly cultivate. The original owner’s killer move Assisting Literary Talents still rewards a purebred human who creates or recites outstanding writing, with mortals awakening apertures and Gu Masters gaining Gu worms or cultivation. He somewhat regrets that he cannot annex it. ^{ch. 1684}

Fang Yuan sends immortal essence into heaven form and enters the white light, but a voice challenges the invader and a white-robed old man of rank eight aura, resembling a scholar, appears. Literary characters pour out like a storm and crumble the white light, so Fang Yuan can only retreat. A second try from underground meets the same old man, who again destroys the white light. An information path grotto-heaven would naturally detect Fang Yuan, but the old man’s prompt arrival baffles him. Several more attempts, with heaven form and with Fixed Immortal Travel, are all found out and blocked. His strength is clearly higher, yet he cannot enter, which feels really unpleasant. He leaves, promising to return, knowing where it lies. ^{ch. 1684}

Duke Long takes Feng Jin Huang to the sea bottom in Eastern Sea. A ripple appears as if they broke a formless membrane, and she sees Dragon Palace, a rank eight Immortal Gu House shining with slight orange-gold light. A large dream realm surrounds it, moving fast and obscuring it from time to time, and Duke Long extremely cautiously waits rather than risk the occasional gaps. He now has a method, the immortal killer move Pure Dream Reality Seeker Transformation, using dream wings Immortal Gu borrowed from Feng Jin Huang, with its deduction led by Fairy Zi Wei. A piece of the dream realm turns into a human body, a Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body that is perfect and without flaws. Duke Long, once harmed by such a body, is slightly moved. ^{ch. 1684}

He praises Feng Jin Huang’s modification and says the physique can now count as the eleventh extreme physique. Feng Jin Huang says she succeeded only by coincidence, since the modification built on the results of her earlier killer move shatter dream. Duke Long answers that creating shatter dream was part of fate’s arrangement. She pouts and refuses to hear it, asking what point is left in acting if everything is fate’s arrangement. Duke Long sighs and drops the matter, saying she will comprehend it when the time comes. ^{ch. 1684}
