Chapter 1725

After an intense battle on the move, Fang Yuan discovers that heroes among people is not costless. The white light on Li Huang and Qing Ye weakens as it is expended, but a vast amount in the sky replenishes it. Destroying those lights would let the amplification run dry, yet Fang Yuan has no method that can target them. Human path needs an understanding he lacks, and he is losing the Convention because of it. He resolves to read The Legends of Ren Zu more often. ^{ch. 1725}

His battle strength is already among the top ranks of this Gu Immortal world, and sovereign immortal aperture makes him self-sufficient. His attainment is quasi-supreme in refinement path and time path, but he lacks foundation in poison path, dream path, space path, sword path, and others. Suppressed by the amplified Li Huang and Qing Ye, he can only defend. Heavenly Court’s Immortal Gu Houses begin to encircle Western Desert’s immortals and the Immortal Gu House holding Bai Ning Bing and the rest. ^{ch. 1725}

At Hidden Dragon Cave, Song Qi Yuan refines the rank eight Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace with seven other rank eight Gu Immortals of Eastern Sea. They are Qing Yue An, Hua Cai Yun, Shen Cong Sheng, Zhang Yin, Granny Rong, Shi Miao, and Yang Zi He. Duke Long refined it before, but it is unmanned, and part of its power suppresses Di Zang Sheng, so it can barely resist them. Just as they near success, they grow alert, since Heavenly Court has not sent a single reinforcement. Shen Cong Sheng has enslaved Old Man Bei Feng and his grandson Feng Chan Zi. He orders Bei Feng to guard the cave entrance. ^{ch. 1725}

Zhang Yin remarks that Shen Cong Sheng’s gains are the largest. Old Man Bei Feng is a genuine rank eight, though his injuries have made his battle strength fall drastically. Shen clan has gained a new rank eight, which would break the balance of Eastern Sea once he recovers. Shen Cong Sheng belittles Bei Feng and turns attention to Dragon Palace, which can suppress and even enslave Di Zang Sheng. He hopes Duke Long did not take away the dream path Immortal Gu it should hold. ^{ch. 1725}

Song Qi Yuan says that once they subdue Dragon Palace, they will help it enslave Di Zang Sheng. They also talk of giving the other regions a little help, even Fang Yuan, to weaken Central Continent. A voice asks who said Heavenly Court has no reinforcements. Zhang Yin, Granny Rong, Shi Miao, and Yang Zi He suddenly attack Song Qi Yuan, Qing Yue An, Hua Cai Yun, and Shen Cong Sheng. Song Qi Yuan and the rest spit blood and escape moderately injured, as rank eight defenses are extremely thick and no one is killed. Zhang Yin and the rest defend Dragon Palace from the inner circle. ^{ch. 1725}

Yang Zi He says they will protect it even if they die. The four grow taller, with claws, scales, horns, and vertical-slit pupils, like Duke Long’s transformation. They call dragonman the noble race and humans doomed to extermination, and shout together that they are the Four Dragon Generals, guardians of Dragon Palace. ^{ch. 1725}

Hua Cai Yun realises that Dragon Palace enslaved the four long ago, and they fought Duke Long earlier because that was their responsibility. Duke Long then took Dragon Palace and refined it, becoming their master. He did not send them away. They stayed with the Eastern Sea immortals, so Heavenly Court’s reinforcements had arrived with them long ago. ^{ch. 1725}
