Chapter 1796

Fang Yuan’s soul has recovered to sixty million man soul and is solid and pure, wearing the rank nine killer move ghostly concealment from Thieving Heaven true inheritance. He casts Split Soul, and his main body’s soul falls to thirty million man soul while the split soul also holds thirty million. The move has a huge risk and a high failure rate, but earlier practice makes it a success. Slight dizziness follows. He opens his immortal aperture’s entrance a little for the split soul to go through. It enters a Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique body waiting inside the sovereign immortal aperture, made from a dream realm. ^{ch. 1796}

Fang Yuan knows three types of this body. The first, condensed by Old Man Yan Shi and Ying Wu Xie, lasts eighteen hours and gains a rank every two hours, but needs many Immortal Gu and a vast amount of dream realms that he cannot supply. The second has Gu Immortal cultivation and he has used it many times, to stall Southern Border Gu Immortals and to trade dream realms with Chi Qu You. It has a time limit and self-detonates back into a dream realm. The third, learned from Feng Jin Huang, consumes few dream realms but is only a mortal body, and the split soul merges into one at rank one. The body cannot hold the complete thirty million man soul, so Fang Yuan prepared relic Gu. ^{ch. 1796}

Relic Gu is a mortal Gu that enhances the aperture walls and advances cultivation by a small realm, in five ranks from green copper to purple crystal. Red steel is priced at eight thousand primeval stones in the mortal world. White silver is priced at fifty thousand. Mortal markets circulate white silver at best, while treasure yellow heaven sells ranks one to three in batches and has few of rank four and even fewer of rank five. Relic Gu only form naturally, and not even Lang Ya blessed land or Heavenly Court can yet create them, which Fang Yuan now understands is because relic Gu are human path Gu worms. ^{ch. 1796}

His pure dream clone uses three green copper relic Gu. The light membrane around its aperture becomes water, stone, then crystal membrane. Its aperture then advances on its own, the crystal membrane shattering into a red steel rank two membrane. Fang Yuan realizes that Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique is the eleventh extreme physique, whose cultivation rises without obstacles. The clone consumes relic Gu one after another, and in a mere hour reaches rank five peak stage, with Lang Ya’s treasury supplying the purple crystal. ^{ch. 1796}

He sends it out of the aperture for immortal ascension, since tribulation inside would disorder heaven and earth qi and greatly disturb the aperture’s balance. He intends to create a perfect clone with Gu Immortal cultivation at one go. Then he feels an intense sense of danger and stops. He suspects that the clone’s ascension would meet dream path tribulations, about which he knows little, and that heaven’s will would gain a chance to attack him. ^{ch. 1796}

He considers letting it ascend inside the aperture, but when he takes the clone back, the sense of danger lingers, lessened only slightly. He hesitates, then chooses stability, since he does not have even a little assurance and is progressing very well in this life. He regrets this, for success would give an immortal level clone and a chance to advance dream path mortal Gu to Immortal Gu. If it goes badly, he might not even be able to use Spring Autumn Cicada. He lets it be for the moment. ^{ch. 1796}
