Chapter 1712

Sun Palace has fallen, and Five Deity Hall is next. After it comes the Central Great Hall, where Fairy Zi Wei and Duke Long wait. Duke Long asks whether all the beasts are deployed, and Fairy Zi Wei answers that only two came. Cang Xuan Zi stays away because of an agreement it made with Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable on joining Heavenly Court. ^{ch. 1712}

A sandstorm blocks Calamity Luck Altar before Five Deity Hall, and a hill-like tiger with an overwhelming aura emerges. Bing Sai Chuan tells the shocked Five Elements Grandmaster that Heavenly Court has a total of three legendary immemorial beasts. The tiger is a Shabi, formed in a fiendish qi sea spring, and the only one left because qi path is going extinct. In the Olden Antiquity Era, the qi path great expert Seven Fiendish Primeval Monarch refined ninety-nine Shabi into a grand army, and almost nobody could rival him. It was number ninety-five of the last few made. Ancestor Giant Sun named it Shabi Ninety-five when invited to Heavenly Court. ^{ch. 1712}

Shabi Ninety-five fights Calamity Luck Altar with peak rank eight battle strength. Bing Sai Chuan says it lives in Eternal Sand Cave and that Cang Xuan Zi probably will not come. Ruan Dan, an immemorial green jade crane raised by Immortal Crane Sect, created pill path and will likely come. Cang Xuan Zi is the vast heaven vine, whose vast heaven fruits expand the sky of an immortal aperture in a grotto-heaven. The vine is therefore also known as the tenth heaven of this world. ^{ch. 1712}

Five Elements Grandmaster realizes it is the huge vine pillar. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable brought it in personally, and it need not follow orders, only providing a batch of vast heaven fruits every thousand years. Heavenly Court is in truth making use of it, since the fruits keep enlarging the skies of its immortal aperture. ^{ch. 1712}

In the Central Great Hall, Fairy Zi Wei realizes Calamity Luck Altar is fake and has the other Immortal Gu Houses shoot a rainbow light at it. The light reveals a huge purple-furred ferret with a dog tail, larger than the Shabi. Shabi Ninety-five names it as Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s dog tail life extending ferret Mao Li Qiu, and the ferret pins the Shabi down, demanding to be called Grandpa Mao. The Shabi cannot rise. ^{ch. 1712}

Mao Li Qiu recognizes the green jade crane, which is posing as a human Gu Immortal on a cloud. Fairy Zi Wei has secretly ordered the crane to head for Five Deity Hall instead of fighting. Mao Li Qiu crashes down at the crane, which flees in its true form until the ferret grabs its leg and slams it into the ground, leaving a huge pit. The crane shrieks under the mauling and begs the Shabi for help, but the Shabi laughs and flies toward Five Deity Hall. A clone springs from Mao Li Qiu and pins the Shabi too, which wonders whether this is the main body, given its great strength. Duke Long seems to realize something. ^{ch. 1712}

Mao Li Qiu’s delay gives Calamity Luck Altar crucial time, and it reaches Five Deity Hall. Bing Sai Chuan tells Five Elements Grandmaster that the rest depends on him now. Asked how long Grandpa Mao can last, Bing Sai Chuan answers that it uses perfect pair, which summons a clone with the same battle strength as the main body. That method was Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s, and Longevity Heaven searched for it with great effort. Five Deity Hall shakes, and a giant spirit of the five elements forms and attacks Calamity Luck Altar. Calamity Luck Altar bursts out with profound light and sends Five Elements Grandmaster into the hall, while its incredible attraction force restrains the furious spirit. ^{ch. 1712}
