Chapter 1886

When Zhang Yin speaks, his rank eight dominance makes every competitor back off. Heavenly Court’s representative Jun Shen Guang watches with deep worry, since the banquet will raise the battle strength of Eastern Sea’s Gu Immortals sharply. He judges that Qi Sea Ancestor is using yearly banquets with no fees to build his influence. Fairy Zi Wei sends word that Jun Shen Guang must cooperate with other immortals and buy the heart blood Immortal Gu without raising suspicion. He replies that Zhang Yin has bid a high price, and she tells him to keep observing while she asks others. Fighting Zhang Yin would hurt Heavenly Court’s reputation badly. Heavenly Court has secret members hidden among the banquet’s rank six and seven immortals. ^{ch. 1886}

Then Yang Jun, an Eastern Sea rank eight lone immortal, says he is interested in the heart blood Immortal Gu as well. The change stuns many immortals, and even Fang Yuan is slightly puzzled. In the previous life Yang Jun, owner of Fragrant Treasure Horse Chariot, ruined Fang Yuan’s chance to sneak up on Dragon Palace. He then helped Duke Long capture it and vanished. He did not appear in the battle of repairing fate Gu, so Fang Yuan reasons he is no Heavenly Court member and likely agreed to act for it only once. Fang Yuan cannot tell whether Yang Jun works for Heavenly Court now, and he has Zhang Yin act more forcefully. ^{ch. 1886}

Zhang Yin says he really likes this Immortal Gu and proposes a spar to decide. Yang Jun expects a draw and hesitates. He owes Heavenly Court a favor and decides to repay it here, or Heavenly Court would make him deal with Eastern Sea’s Gu Immortals in the five regions chaotic war. He offers Drowning Uncle a water path Immortal Gu, and Drowning Uncle accepts overjoyed. Zhang Yin cannot snatch the Gu with everyone watching, and Qi Sea Ancestor cannot act either, as the two must keep up their roles. Yang Jun grabs the heart blood Immortal Gu with an immortal killer move, tosses over the water path Immortal Gu, and places the heart blood Immortal Gu into treasure yellow heaven. ^{ch. 1886}

Fairy Zi Wei obtains it and gives it to a Gu Immortal who cultivates inside Demon Judgment Board. He shouts that success has arrived and walks out amid blood light, fragrance and immortal music. Fang Zheng kneels and greets him as master. The rank eight Gu Immortal says the blood path method he conceived all his life now has its core and foundation. After hundreds of years inside the board it is time for him to leave. ^{ch. 1886}

Shen Cong Sheng captured Fang Zheng on the Eastern Sea journey and brought him back to Heavenly Court. Qin Ding Ling observed his luck and suggested him as the next Demon Judgment Board Lord, and Fairy Zi Wei and Duke Long agreed. He became the disciple of the current Lord. The board holds a captured rank eight blood relation Immortal Gu that detects every blood path cultivator below rank nine, which let Heavenly Court wipe out Central Continent’s blood path trend while it was still budding. The Lord, Red Heart Traveler, is a sole blood path cultivator whose closed cultivation put Heavenly Court far ahead in that path. ^{ch. 1886}

Nine Spiritual Fairy appears and tells Red Heart Traveler that her orders are to gather with him and go cause trouble for Fang clan in Western Desert. Red Heart Traveler tells Fang Zheng to take over as Demon Judgment Board Lord, with his inheritance and past Lords’ cultivation experiences left inside. Their relationship is very shallow. Red Heart Traveler took him as disciple only on Fairy Zi Wei’s order. Qin Ding Ling had told him that as master and disciple in name he could use Fang Zheng’s luck, which helped him hugely. ^{ch. 1886}

The two visit Qin Ding Ling, who inspects their luck. Red Heart Traveler’s is like a perfect sun, showing he has emerged from closed cultivation to spread his radiance through the five regions. Qin Ding Ling tells them the trip will go smoothly as long as they follow the plan. Passing Embroidered Tower, they see Feng Jiu Ge stationed in a daze, and Nine Spiritual Fairy sighs that the loss in the River of Time left him despondent. Red Heart Traveler says he is comprehending his Dao and they must not interrupt him. He consoles her that her inheritance, nine spiritual transformations, is the greatest transformation path inheritance Heavenly Court has, though she recalls her master called her aptitude insufficient. The two leave Central Heaven Gate, enter white heaven and head toward Western Desert. ^{ch. 1886}
