Eerie Light Under Her Eyes
Fang Yuan’s main body, sitting by a waterfall in Southern Border, and the clone stop their work to think about a sudden human path inspiration. Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, a hundred thousand strength path phantoms with his face stand in ranks, the myriad self army of myriad self Immortal Gu. Fang Yuan activates the myriad self killer move instead. He then uses its original mortal version, whose phantoms are far inferior. That original move, built at the Northern Plains Imperial Court contest to combine enslavement and strength, led to strength path giant hand and reverse flow protection seal. ch. 1774
Tracing the inspiration to its source, he modifies the mortal move again. Six hours of deduction yield an extremely complex mortal myriad self killer move many times the size of the original in Gu worms. Its phantoms are far fewer, each has individuality, and they break into a huge brawl in which winners grow stronger and losers weaken or are destroyed. One phantom remains, tens of times stronger but still mortal. It is filled with anger and hatred. ch. 1774
The last phantom does not dare attack the clone and instead slaughters the earlier phantom armies, which stand still without orders. It breaks the mortal limit and reaches the level of a rank six Gu Immortal, and Fang Yuan and the clone show joy. The clone sends the remaining army to surround it, and it grows a little stronger with every phantom it destroys. After it reaches rank seven, the main body kills it with a killer move. Only its aura and level broke through, and its battle strength is weaker than an ordinary ancient desolate beast. ch. 1774
The modified killer move creates phantoms with their own thoughts and personalities that even the main body cannot control, and all have terrifying potential for growth. Sharing one source, the phantoms’ souls merge and grow by devouring each other. The final move is no longer only the convergence of enslavement and strength but a human path killer move, and myriad self Immortal Gu is confirmed as a human path Immortal Gu. In the previous life Fang Yuan regretted lacking a human path method when he attacked Central Continent, but he had one all along and did not notice. To him, a person’s life is itself an exploration of human path. ch. 1774
He also holds perseverance Gu, another human path Immortal Gu, and the sovereign immortal fetus Gu he stole is a human path Gu worm too. In The Legends of Ren Zu, hope Gu, vanity Gu, guts Gu, stubborn Gu, pride Gu, self Gu and suffering Gu are all human path Gu worms. He now understands why the book is called the human path true inheritance and can finally read it with proper understanding. The breakthrough comes from nearly six hundred years of accumulated experience, not from nurturing the variant humans. Progress is very smooth. ch. 1774
In Heavenly Court’s Central Great Hall, the purple aura retracts into Fairy Zi Wei’s mind, and she frowns over Fang Yuan’s plans. Fang Yuan has not exploited star cast being exposed or the deaths of Chen Yi and Thunder Ghost True Monarch, though normally he would spread the news to damage Heavenly Court’s prestige. She wonders why he targets Chi clan, whether he destroyed the formation in Plunder Shadow Earth Trench, and whether he wants to refine Gu now or has already been reborn with Spring Autumn Cicada. She cannot confirm his rebirth even with her full strength and Star Constellation Chessboard. Fang Yuan did destroy that formation, without taking its dream realms. He hid great thief ghost hand behind the super formation, so Heavenly Court cannot link him to Suan Bu Jin. ch. 1774
Angry that Fang Yuan has left too little valuable information, Fairy Zi Wei goes to where she holds Spectral Soul captive. She soul searches Spectral Soul, who resists for a while before waves of memories are extracted. She finds the secret of golden dragonfish rearing and is first joyful, then disappointed. It is not very useful, since Fang Yuan has taken over all the businesses of Lang Ya blessed land. Gritting her teeth, she decides not to give up the chance to suppress him. Unknown to her, a dark eerie light flashes in the depths of her eyes. ch. 1774
