Chapter 1741

Fang Yuan charges with Myriad Fusion Ghost Dragon Sword, and Chen Yi, already a spent force, chooses neither to block nor to evade. Bai Cang Shui and other Gu Immortals try to rescue him, but Chi Qu You, Yi Hao Fang and others follow Fang Yuan and block them. The enormous soul sword pierces Chen Yi and strikes Hairy Foot Mountain with its remaining force. The mountain disintegrates and Chen Yi’s corpse falls. Southern Border and Northern Plains immortals are shaken. Fang Yuan has now killed two Heavenly Court experts, but Infallible blessed land still stands among the rubble. ^{ch. 1741}

Heavenly Court had detected the exact location of Infallible blessed land but never invaded it, borrowing its strength by human path methods to draw out success dao marks. Fang Yuan cannot damage it at this urgent moment. Not long after Chen Yi, Yuan Qiong Du dies with a smile, sitting cross-legged. Heaven Overseeing Tower’s peak lets out a rank nine Immortal Gu’s aura, and the immortals recognize fate Gu. The Heavenly Court battlefield freezes, Longevity Heaven’s members change expression greatly, and the Heavenly Court immortals are filled with joy. ^{ch. 1741}

Bing Sai Chuan orders a retreat, and Seven Extreme Desolation stays behind as Calamity Luck Altar withdraws. Fang Yuan feels an emptiness. Duke Long laughs, does not obstruct Calamity Luck Altar, and climbs to the peak of Heaven Overseeing Tower. Weeping at the sight of a complete fate Gu, he tells his disciple Hong Ting that, as master, he has atoned for the mistake of injuring it. He proclaims that after over a million years Heavenly Court holds a complete rank nine fate Gu again. Heavenly Court’s morale surges to an extreme point, and some immortals pass away in full satisfaction. Bing Sai Chuan and the other Longevity Heaven immortals retreat pale. ^{ch. 1741}

Over three million years earlier, at Qi Breath Peak in Central Continent, Primordial Origin cultivates qi path as the peak’s owner. He is then only a rank seven Gu Immortal. Many arrangements hide the peak, so he is slightly surprised when a mortal Gu Master barges in and kowtows, introducing himself as Gu Master Yu Ji. Yu Ji says he relied on the guidance of fate Gu, not on any Gu Immortal. Primordial Origin doubts this, since fate Gu is a rank nine Gu watched by rank eight rockman Gu Immortals in the Rockman Imperial Court. His tranquil heart is greatly disturbed when Yu Ji presents the Gu with both hands. ^{ch. 1741}

Yu Ji is a slave of the first supreme elder’s beloved grandson in the rockman tribe, and he secretly cleaned Rockman Sacred Hall in his master’s place. Near fate Gu he sensed fate’s arrangements and the path of every life, learning future events and his mission. He took fate Gu in the chaos when featherman Gu Immortals infiltrated, escaped through a hidden tunnel, and met danger on the journey but never a fatal threat. Yu Ji says fate Gu wanted to be brought to its master, Primordial Origin. Holding it, Primordial Origin understands that Yu Ji never used fate Gu, but that the Gu itself let Yu Ji see the world’s changes. ^{ch. 1741}

Fate shows him that variant human races will decline and humanity will replace them, with himself and Yu Ji leading its rise. Happy to be human, he recalls that humans have very low status and many human Gu Immortals are slaves. Even as a rank seven, he cannot match many variant human Gu Immortals, which is why he has cultivated to create a path for humans, and now he says he will create qi path. He laughs and weeps with joy while Yu Ji grins. He calls Yu Ji a great hero of the human race. Fate Gu cannot be activated at will, but he calls it the greatest banner, one that will revive human Gu Immortals’ courage and unite humanity. He declares it the war banner of humanity to rise and rule the world. ^{ch. 1741}
