Plotting, Pursuing Dao
In Heavenly Court’s immortal graveyard a very small fire grows until it dyes the sky red, and Fairy Zi Wei rushes to the entrance. The fire dissipates and two elderly Gu Immortals emerge: Li Huang, a fire path great expert, and Gu Liu Ru, a time path great expert in a wooden wheelchair. Gu Liu Ru is sickly pale and thin, paralyzed from the waist down, and cold and detached. Fairy Zi Wei bows and tells them the situation. ch. 1808
Gu Liu Ru says that once fate Gu is restored in a few years, Heavenly Court will hold an invincible position and even a stronger Fang Yuan cannot make a huge impact. He agrees that she, a wisdom path Gu Immortal, should lead. She says Heavenly Court has lost control of the River of Time, is building time path Immortal Gu Houses regardless of cost and needs the river suppression lotus sealing formation laid there. She asks them to guard the river, and both agree to deal with the Little Demon Venerable. Li Huang is stronger in pure battle, but she is more excited about Gu Liu Ru, who fills Heavenly Court’s time path gap. ch. 1808
She does not know that in the previous life only Li Huang woke at the start. Gu Liu Ru woke in the final period when Longevity Heaven attacked Heavenly Court, fought Hei Fan to a deadlock and was finally killed by Liu Liu Liu’s sneak attack. This time Fang Yuan’s early attack destroyed Eternal Yacht and Present and Past Pavilion and killed Qing Ye, so the ink effect woke Gu Liu Ru in advance. Gu Liu Ru will definitely gravely obstruct Fang Yuan in the River of Time. ch. 1808
Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, in Mini Central Continent, Fang Yuan surveys a vast marsh he has just built as a resource point. Its extreme marsh flowers release mist to feed regret Gu, and because that mist must be fresh, the best method is a resource point inside the aperture. In the previous life he built it only after obtaining regret Gu, but this time, extremely wealthy, he builds it in advance. He can now feed all his Immortal Gu himself. He has also marked a sea area in Mini Eastern Sea for new water spiders, extorted from Southern Border’s righteous path, to feed rank eight Immortal Gu Addition, plundered from Ba Shi Ba. He has already annexed most captives’ apertures and searched their souls empty, though the righteous path does not know. Heavenly Court likewise does not know that Red Lotus’ true inheritance offers no direct way to destroy fate Gu, yet fears the worst and fights for the River of Time. ch. 1808
Fang Yuan holds that fighting is only a third rate method, so he leans toward planning but fights without fear when needed. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable only killed, yet succeeded because he cultivated his own Dao, each kill deepening his understanding and raising his soul path attainment and strength. Fang Yuan grasped this principle in the previous life when he was already more than a hundred years old, and he still has only a vague direction toward a Dao of his own. He judges Heavenly Court the biggest beast in the darkness and his River of Time victory only a small strategic one. Many plot against him and Spring Autumn Cicada, and the Little Demon Venerable title hides deep killing intent. Heavenly Court, a chess piece placed by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable over three million years ago, still controls the game. He expects another ink effect, and some powerful characters may awaken. ch. 1808
He does not grow prideful and returns to cultivation after a very short joy. His soul progresses from one desolate soul through three, five and eight to ten desolate soul. Five restriction profound light qi reaches proficiency, with a small modification that suits his habits, and he starts practising other killer moves such as Ba Shi Ba’s consecutive hit method. With jade flow pearl he often moves early on newly formed Earth Trenches and reaps their resources, including a significant prize, rank seven earth vein Immortal Gu. ch. 1808
