Chapter 1710

Rainbow lights cover the sky of Heavenly Court, where the rank eight luck path Immortal Gu House, Calamity Luck Altar, built by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, floats. Bringing it shows Longevity Heaven’s confidence and worries many of Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals. Duke Long judges the rainbow light to be rank nine and Giant Sun’s work. Fairy Zi Wei recalls that Giant Sun once toured Heavenly Court and guesses he made a backdoor then. Duke Long agrees. ^{ch. 1710}

Giant Sun had become venerable through luck path, a huge obstruction to fate Gu. Heavenly Court’s leader Golden Hooped Great Immortal made a plan and invited him to tour, openly announcing an invitation to join. Golden Hooped led him through the important places, and when Giant Sun asked to see fate Immortal Gu, they went up Heaven Overseeing Tower. Giant Sun left the tower in silence and, once out of Heavenly Court, said he had to reconsider joining. Heavenly Court records all of this with great precision. ^{ch. 1710}

Old Man Zheng Yuan declares that Giant Sun died long ago, that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, who planted spies, is now their captive, and that Heavenly Court cannot fall so easily. Zi Wei, still frowning, thinks the altar does not hold a lot of force, since no news of the invasion leaked. Duke Long thinks it likely and stands, arms behind his back, as if waiting. ^{ch. 1710}

Heavenly Court shakes as the killer move Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable left behind activates. Duke Long, Zi Wei and Zheng Yuan show faint smiles. Longevity Heaven’s immortals are unsurprised too, holding information from Giant Sun and inheritances of Demon Venerables. They name the move qi wall, ordinary in itself but raised to rank nine when Primordial Origin became invincible. Under the altar’s attacks the air ripples into a formless wall that bursts and re-forms, while Heavenly Court’s own members pass freely. ^{ch. 1710}

Five Elements Grandmaster, a recent recruit, is very worried that destroying every wall along the path might exhaust their immortal essence before they reach Duke Long. A rank nine move yields only to a method of similar level or an exceptionally effective rank eight killer move, and almost nobody on this trip cultivates qi path. Longevity Heaven’s other immortals answer that the move has flaws. Limitless, Reckless Savage and Red Lotus broke through by force and carved three roads, where the wall is weakest and cannot regenerate. A small breach lets them enter one, and Five Elements Grandmaster asks which to choose. ^{ch. 1710}

In the Central Great Hall, Duke Long and Zi Wei expect Longevity Heaven to take one of those roads. Zi Wei recalls that Limitless Demon Venerable’s left path runs from Central Heaven Gate through Name Plaque Palace, Sun Palace and Five Deity Hall to Central Great Hall. From there it passes Heaven Overseeing Tower and Forgotten Dao Lake and ends at Imperfection Regret Pavilion on Star Zone Mountain. Reckless Savage’s and Red Lotus’s paths also cross Central Great Hall. The altar carries its Gu Immortals into the weak spot of the qi wall, and inside, the wall barely exists and the pressure is greatly lifted. Zi Wei and Duke Long look at each other and say they chose the left path. ^{ch. 1710}
