Chapter 1861

At Fang clan headquarters, Fang Di Chang rests in bed with his face still somewhat pale, while his adopted son Fang Yun, a young rank six Gu Immortal, stands beside him. Fang Yun is completely unaware that his father is Fang Yuan’s clone. Once Fang Yun relaxes, he says the move was truly risky and that it is a pity Suan Bu Jin lost his life. As Suan Bu Jin, Fang Yuan once saved Fang Yun’s life, and Fang Yun holds him in high regard. Only the three supreme elders knew the plot, kept from Fang Yun because shrewd Suan Bu Jin could easily have made him expose it. ^{ch. 1861}

Any other Gu Immortal might truly have been done in by Fang Di Chang. Even Fang Yuan might have been in some trouble without the premonition that made him improve karma divine tree. On learning Suan Bu Jin’s identity, Fang Di Chang realized he had greatly underestimated Fang Yuan. Fairy Zi Wei underestimates him too, and the Gu Immortals of the five regions think he is still rank seven. He has long been rank eight. Using his Qi Sea Ancestor identity, he wrested a portion of Primordial Origin’s qi path true inheritance from Duke Long. Fang Di Chang, only rank seven, had his formation and house completely seen through, and the palace became Fang Yuan’s support. ^{ch. 1861}

The clone puts three Immortal Gu in Fang Yun’s hand and says he will pass on his wisdom path inheritance. Fang Yun objects that he cultivates cloud path. Fang Di Chang replies that cloud path suited Fang Yun’s lively nature but is only a minor path. He adds that Suan Bu Jin’s death reminds him to find an inheritor for the clan. Fang Yun agrees to switch, but Fang Di Chang says only to hold the inheritance and change paths if a critical situation demands. If Fang Di Chang dies, Fang Yun must select a suitable inheritor. One of the three Immortal Gu is Suan Bu Jin’s distracting thoughts Immortal Gu, whose inheritance Fang Di Chang says he must pass on. ^{ch. 1861}

Alone, Fang Yuan’s clone reviews the disguise. The body is Fang Di Chang’s, so the blood has no flaw, and the life tablet Gu shows no change since the body has not died. The main body took care of the soul, and the split soul matches the body extremely well. That is still not enough, because Fang Gong is highly shrewd and cautious beneath his bold appearance. He once hid his grand rank eight cultivation and struck Chen Yi viciously at the right time. The clone knows that deceiving such a man takes a performance as well. ^{ch. 1861}

Fang Gong hears of the handover that very night from his great grandson Fang Leng, an outstanding rank six and a possible successor, whom Fang Yun had told. Fang Gong frowns, since he had been thinking of asking for the inheritance that founds Fang Di Chang’s faction. The two factions contest each other, and Fang Gong’s holds the highest authority, since Fang Di Chang is only rank seven. Fang Yun cultivates cloud path and cannot qualify for the wisdom path inheritance, which is the obvious weakness of Fang Di Chang’s faction. Fang Di Chang put a stop to the plan before it even started. ^{ch. 1861}

Fang Gong relaxes, smiles and dismisses Fang Leng, saying the chance is lost and the clan is on one side. He is somewhat worried, believing the scheme worked and Suan Bu Jin’s sacrifice let the clan refine Divine Bean Palace. That rank eight Immortal Gu House has greatly raised the strength of the second faction, and Fang Gong feels huge pressure. He judges that the second supreme elder’s quick action shows his true intentions. The man cannot be Suan Bu Jin’s disguise. The final trace of doubt disappears from Fang Gong’s mind. ^{ch. 1861}
