Chapter 1731

Li Huang and Qing Ye arrive at the Infallible blessed land battlefield, having crossed a very long distance because Fang Yuan led them the opposite way and Heavenly Court has no Beacon Towers. They find unlimited wind very threatening to the formation and move to kill Wu Yong if possible, for he would be a huge problem for Heavenly Court if he returned to Southern Border. Prince Feng Xian and Ba Shi Ba rush there too. Prince Feng Xian’s fireballs only strengthen Li Huang’s verdant sun flame cloak, but Prince Feng Xian turns the flames purple, and they eat into the cloak as the two fight on. Wu Yong has told Ba Shi Ba of the true identity of Prince Feng Xian, and Ba Shi Ba pretends not to know, while Li Huang knows it too and only acts. Heavenly Court would rather sacrifice something than expose Prince Feng Xian, since he will be worth more in the five regions chaotic war. ^{ch. 1731}

Ba Shi Ba and Qing Ye are true enemies, and Ba Shi Ba’s accumulating consecutive hits force Qing Ye back, who fears his defenses will fail at eighteen hits. Qing Ye activates his signature killer move Expanding Night Sky, an immortal battlefield that turns him into darkness, grows without limit in theory and, given enough time, could cover all of white heaven. Ba Shi Ba flies backwards, for his rule path would weaken inside the dark path environment, and Qing Ye might let Prince Feng Xian and Li Huang in, leaving Ba Shi Ba against three enemies. The fight falls into a short deadlock. ^{ch. 1731}

Immortal Gu Houses that guarded Emperor City arrive with their Gu Immortals as reinforcements, among them Frost Dragon Manor and Wind Sweeping Building. Frost Dragon Manor’s light blue hornless dragons slow Ba Shi Ba drastically and expel the damage of his killer move, so Ba Shi Ba retreats before expanding night sky traps him. Wind Sweeping Building enters the unlimited wind instead of aiding Qing Ye or Li Huang. Unlimited wind weakens again. Fang Yuan’s side grows more perilous. ^{ch. 1731}

At the crucial moment a crack opens and seven Immortal Gu Houses fly out. They are Southern Border’s Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, Great Space Temple, Bay Pavilion and Unfixed Manor, and Northern Plains’ Fingerprint Bridge, Demonic Ape Hall and Minor Sun Building. Ba Shi Ba’s pressure falls greatly, and the battle locks in deadlock again. Inside, Wu Yong and the rest are grim, for sending out those houses spent their trump card early. Prince Feng Xian is a problem, and all depends on Fang Yuan and the rest destroying the formation. ^{ch. 1731}

Fang Yuan sighs that at their speed the chance of victory is increasingly slim, and asks whether Tao Zhu’s five regional true inheritance can help. He deduced that it can mimic the five regional walls, which suppress Gu Immortals and cause backlash when they use immortal killer moves. Immortal Gu Houses and formations are such moves in essence. Wu Yong holds the inheritance and confirms that it contains a method to create the walls. Chi Qu You adds that it needs earth veins and is very troublesome and complicated. Tao Zhu built the five regional mountain range with an earth vein and a formation. Wu Yong found the inheritance’s essence is the five regional formation and worked with Chi Qu You, who also learned it, as Wu clan is weak in formation path. ^{ch. 1731}

Fang Yuan asks whether the wild earth vein Immortal Gu that Hou clan’s Gu Immortal obtained from the Earth Trench can replace the earth vein. Chi Qu You says he has already obtained that Gu from Hou clan, but using it requires modifying the formation, and despite some progress he is far from success. Fang Yuan calls the five regional formation their likely breakthrough. He says that with him and Black Extremity helping, Chi Qu You has a chance, and proposes they try. ^{ch. 1731}
