Chapter 1749

A small Gu worm covered in emerald-green light dives into the River of Time and moves upstream against the flow. In treasure yellow heaven, Gu Immortals buzz over three rib bones and a video of Fang Yuan beating Thunder Ghost True Monarch Jing Lan, and mock Heavenly Court for failing to capture him. In Heavenly Court, Chen Yi looks unsightly and Fairy Zi Wei trembles with anger. The video shows only the part where Fang Yuan counterattacks. ^{ch. 1749}

Jing Lan, the most recently awakened expert of Heavenly Court, had been counterattacked through a moment of carelessness while chasing Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan delayed her and entered the depths of the regional wall, and Fairy Zi Wei could not deduce where he was. Jing Lan, seriously injured and furious, demands his location, and Fairy Zi Wei answers that he will go to Lang Ya blessed land regardless, where arrangements are made. The failed capture still brought huge gains, Fairy Zi Wei adds, since he wasted much immortal essence and revealed many trump cards. Jing Lan calms and admits she underestimated him. Fairy Zi Wei then tells Jing Lan that her rib bones are for sale, and Jing Lan erupts in rage and swears vengeance. ^{ch. 1749}

Fang Yuan, retreating, watches treasure yellow heaven and sneers, since being a rank seven who held a rank eight to such a result is truly a glorious loss. The rib bones and the video are a deliberate show of his battle strength. He recalls that Feng Jiu Ge took Gu Yue Fang Zheng and Dang Hun Mountain, and that detonating Dang Hun Mountain awakened Thunder Ghost True Monarch, who ambushed him. ^{ch. 1749}

Fang Yuan is certain Heavenly Court will attack Lang Ya blessed land again, which is extremely important to him, so he resolves to rally the four races alliance, where his greatly increased reputation should give him more say. He will not sell the rib bones, since keeping them damages Heavenly Court’s prestige and raises the courage of others. He reckons Heavenly Court’s members must be among the Gu Immortals asking the price, very likely Thunder Ghost True Monarch herself. His mood stays heavy, since he doubts there is really hope against Heavenly Court. He plans to absorb the Long Hair true meaning and, even if the blessed land’s defense fails, to take all he can from Lang Ya Sect. ^{ch. 1749}

Fang Yuan’s body suddenly shakes and he turns pale. His clone has just passed him extremely valuable information: Spring Autumn Cicada brought the will of his future clone back to his time path clone. His clone’s rebirth means his attempt has failed and Heavenly Court has still repaired fate Gu completely. He calms quickly, having foreseen this possibility when he gave Spring Autumn Cicada to his time path clone. Heavenly Court’s strength weighs on him like a mountain range, yet he finds it more interesting. He will never give up while any chance remains, even after failing hundreds of billions of times. ^{ch. 1749}
