Chapter 1765

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, on Cloud Cover Continent in Mini White Heaven, Fang Yuan’s time path clone and Lang Ya land spirit meet the variant human Gu Immortals left after his intentional scheme. They are four: snowman Bing Yuan, rockmen Shi Zong and Shi Shi Cheng, and inkman Mo Qi Yi. Their three days to decide whether to join Lang Ya Sect are over. The clone coldly snorts inside but smiles kindly, calls them allies and family, and says his attitude toward them will not change though he is rank eight. His reputation, raised earlier by selling three of Thunder Ghost True Monarch’s rib bones, is now hundreds of times higher after he defeated Heavenly Court and killed two rank eight Gu Immortals before them. ^{ch. 1765}

He says that staying is best, because Feng Jiu Ge divulged information and Heavenly Court will certainly deduce theirs. Joining would cost the four their freedom and make them subordinates of a human Gu Immortal, yet refusal has terrifying consequences. Fang Yuan then threatens them openly: he could kill them on the spot, and they could not resist. They cannot rebuke him. He adds that he is a demonic path Gu Immortal only because Heavenly Court wants to kill him, and that dispersed, they might draw trouble from Heavenly Court or even Longevity Heaven, and the four grow a little more calm. ^{ch. 1765}

Lang Ya land spirit, chilled, finds Fang Yuan’s acting truly impeccable, since Fang Yuan himself plotted against the four, and without him the three races would not have lost so many Gu Immortals. The four leaders suspect him but hide it, feeling deep fear and some reliance, and do not know that he means to attack Central Continent and Heavenly Court. Bing Yuan, a rank seven Gu Immortal and grandmother of Fang Yuan’s fiancée Xue Er, agrees first, saying the snowman tribe will move over and join Lang Ya Sect. The other three soon submit and agree to become members. As in the previous life they end up joining Lang Ya Sect, though then Longevity Heaven forced them and they did not hesitate, while now Fang Yuan forces them and they take three days. ^{ch. 1765}

His main body then goes to the northern icy plain and Inkman City to capture, or rather rescue, the variant humans there and escort them into the aperture. The next day, at the extreme north of Mini Northern Plains, the time path clone floats beside Xue Er, a snowman Gu Immortal whose rank six matches the clone’s. The whole snowman tribe now lives in his aperture. He shows her the snow crystal formation, built from an ice path crystal essence and many ice and snow path Gu worms. Its frost energy reshapes the land over tens of thousands of li to suit snowmen, and it produces snow monsters to train with them. ^{ch. 1765}

He says he thought of how to accommodate the snowmen, and makes Xue Er owner of the formation, to take care of the tribe and develop the aperture until the snowmen number as many as the hairy men. Moved to tears, she promises not to let him down. When he hugs her, she holds onto his chest, her face flushed red. He says the world misunderstands him and his experiences are like the snowmen’s, then sighs that the formation lacks ice and snow path Immortal Gu and has only one ice path crystal essence. In immense bliss she answers that the tribe has two ice path crystal essences and her grandmother will definitely use some Immortal Gu to develop their homeland, and he shows surprise and joy. ^{ch. 1765}
