Chapter 1913

Inside the sovereign immortal aperture, the Long Hair refinement path formation advances a rank six Immortal Gu while hairy man Gu Immortals release dog shit immortal materials at Lang Ya land spirit’s order. These are the faeces of star desolate hounds, the faeces of remnant heavenly dogs and the excrement of the jade statue white hound, all ancient desolate beasts. At the final portion the flame changes color and the incomplete rank seven Immortal Gu starts to break apart, but regret Gu restores both and only the last portion of material is lost. Less than an hour later the Gu is rank seven Dog Shit Luck. ^{ch. 1913}

In Dragon Whale Paradise, Fang Yuan watches Miao Ming Shen work on the two sea areas, whose ecology is almost completely adjusted. Only a shattered space between them remains. Fang Yuan senses that Dog Shit Luck has advanced, and with it three luck path Immortal Gu from the dismantled Cooking Luck Pot have advanced during his missions. Dog Shit Luck was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s former vital Gu, with an incredibly powerful supplementary effect. Stuck at rank six it could not show that power, but at rank seven it is usable to some extent. Rank eight Immortal Gu would suit Fang Yuan best, but refining one costs too much at huge risk while Heavenly Court is repairing fate Gu, so rank seven ones stay barely usable for now. ^{ch. 1913}

Miao Ming Shen shouts, and a blue halo restores the shattered space entirely, completing the large sized mission. Fang Yuan gains the most, followed by Miao Ming Shen, and his merit ranking returns to the top. They keep taking missions together, with Fang Yuan solving problems through his cultivation of all paths and Miao Ming Shen’s group handling the minor ones. Miao Ming Shen’s group, second on the ranking, breaks away from Shen clan’s group. Shen Cong Sheng never asks Fang Yuan for help, completing mid-sized missions instead. By the time Shen Cong Sheng reaches the middle of the ranking, Fang Yuan’s Cooking Luck Pot is reassembled as rank seven, a top tier Immortal Gu House built by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable that can affect rank eight. ^{ch. 1913}

Inspecting his luck, Fang Yuan sees a giant flame cloud pillar burning blood red, its flames black at the ends. He reads the black as a death threat from outside, and it must be Heavenly Court. Once Heavenly Court repairs fate Gu, the black death qi will definitely expand by several times and eventually corrupt his entire pillar. Deeper in the huge pillar countless faint phantom images flicker, but his vision blurs and he nearly spits blood. After healing himself he finds a huge crack in the floating Cooking Luck Pot, leaking luck, which must be fixed at once. His luck is too strong, and he can only barely see it. ^{ch. 1913}

Fang Yuan is happy that his luck is good but worried that his hidden threat has begun to appear, and the intensely burning pillar means he cannot last too long. He deduces that his luck will hold at this level at least until Central Continent’s fate Gu battle, and it may even improve. Meanwhile the refinement path Gu Immortals in his aperture begin advancing strength path Immortal Gu. Missions to eliminate black fire appear on the Merit Obelisk, while Shen Shang, still mad after escaping regret crying sea, damages the places he goes without knowing it. Fang Yuan investigates the odd black fire but makes no progress, as small lumps transform countless times when attacked and last long. He and Shen Cong Sheng work through the missions together. ^{ch. 1913}

Shen Cong Sheng notes that such missions are getting rarer, and Fang Yuan suggests Shen Shang is about to regain his senses. Then a rank eight Gu Immortal flies toward them, and it is Shen Shang. Shen Cong Sheng, overjoyed, tells him that he has negotiated with Fang Yuan and they will work together. Haggard and frowning deeply, Shen Shang says the situation is quite troublesome and he has a huge problem. He must be sealed again before he resolves it, and he asks Fang Yuan, who is proficient in formation path, to set up a formation to seal him if necessary. ^{ch. 1913}
