Chapter 1787

After obtaining the entirety of Tao Zhu’s true inheritance, Fang Yuan leaves the Five Regional Mountain Range at once, and the range is destroyed as before. In the previous life his ambush created a huge battle there, the inheritance appeared unexpectedly, and he had to escape without it. This time, wary of the ink effect, he first captured all of Southern Border’s pursuers and came for the inheritance when the time was ripe. Delay would have been problematic, because the righteous path would soon support Tie clan in building the Beacon Towers. He came prepared. During the final battle of his previous life, Wu Yong and Chi Qu You had told him much about the inheritance. ^{ch. 1787}

Its methods are very useful to him. Though Tao Zhu was only rank eight, his inheritance surpasses even some venerable ones, as the previous life proved when Fang Yuan turned Tao Zhu’s methods on the nine-nine consecutive unceasing formation and caused Chen Yi and the rest great trouble. Tao Zhu’s methods also counter the killer move heroes among people, since inside the five colored smoke the stronger a Gu Immortal is, the greater the backlash. Fang Yuan means to use the five colored smoke against Central Continent even if he cannot break heroes among people. ^{ch. 1787}

The formation he built in the previous life with Southern Border and Northern Plains Gu Immortals is the essence of the inheritance, and Tao Zhu named it Five Regional Limit Formation. The other half is the killer move five restriction profound light qi, which shoots out light qi of five colors. Within it, Gu Immortals of the five regions face backlash like that of regional walls, growing with the strength of their moves, but Fang Yuan, a special existence, is not restricted. Two rule path Immortal Gu remain. One is rank eight Region, Tao Zhu’s vital Gu, and the other is rank seven Limit. ^{ch. 1787}

Both the formation and the light qi use Region and Limit as cores with a vast number of supplementary mortal Gu, so Fang Yuan faces a tough problem. Choosing the formation rules out the light qi, and choosing the light qi leaves no time in battle to set up the formation. The formation must be rooted to an earth vein, which Chi Qu You added as earth vein Immortal Gu in the previous life, but that Gu has not appeared yet. The light qi is more convenient and stronger but cannot last as long, and each use costs a vast amount of earth qi. He sees a method to resolve that drawback as he arrives. ^{ch. 1787}

Fang Yuan arrives at an ordinary looking cave so well hidden that he senses nothing amiss, and lets out Tao Zhu’s will. The will hands him a true meaning, which he absorbs without hesitation. A moment later he becomes a great grandmaster in rule path. The meaning can make even someone without rule path foundation a great grandmaster at once. His own grandmaster foundation is not wasted, though it brings no change into supreme grandmaster. ^{ch. 1787}

Tao Zhu cultivated restriction path yet left a rule path true meaning, because restriction path is a small sub branch of rule path that never fully separated. The meaning is a joyful surprise to Fang Yuan, since Wu Yong and Chi Qu You did not get it in the previous life. Fang Yuan deduces that Tao Zhu, suppressed by the Southern Border righteous path, gave up his immortal aperture to draw their attention while he set up the inheritance and hid the true meaning elsewhere. The righteous path got the inheritance last time but never the meaning. The meaning also comes at perfect timing, because Fang Yuan has just captured Ba Shi Ba, whose rank eight rule path grotto-heaven his old attainment level could not annex. He had meant to trade with Chi Qu You for rule path dream realms to raise that level. Now he can save the effort. ^{ch. 1787}
