Chapter 1920

Duke Long tells Heavenly Court’s largest gathering in a thousand years to carry out the plan, and the immortals vow their best. Fang Yuan has spread the news deliberately, so Gu Immortals know the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention matters, while mortal Gu Masters treat it as usual and set out. At the Western Desert regional wall, Zhang Quan has brought his son Zhang Ping to train. A hill sized meteor crashes down, and Zhang Quan regrets bringing his son as it kills them all without intact corpses. An inkman Gu Immortal looks around coldly and leaves. ^{ch. 1920}

The same scene repeats across the five regions, because Fang Yuan’s immortal subordinates have orders to stop anyone from joining. Fang Yuan announces in treasure yellow heaven that whoever joins will have him as an enemy. Heavenly Court is enraged, since fewer Gu Masters make repairing fate Gu harder. This time Fang Yuan keeps his subordinates to the four outer regions, so Central Continent’s Gu Immortals cannot save anyone without angering those regions’ super forces. Heavenly Court can only accuse Fang Yuan, and the other righteous paths respond loudly but do little. ^{ch. 1920}

In the previous life Fang Yuan acted in Central Continent and met obstruction, but acting in advance now brings huge results at once. The waves of Gu Masters stop, and the four regions’ super forces also hold back their own, leaving the convention very sparse. At the Unification Sect sign-up location, an ancient year beast crushes the whole hall, ending Luo Sheng’s ambitions and killing the Gu Masters inside. Bai Ning Bing releases ancient year beasts at every destination. Fang Yuan has told her not to concern herself with the result. Fang Yuan now orders Shadow Sect immortals into Central Continent to destroy sign-up locations. ^{ch. 1920}

Heavenly Court spreads the truth, and some are moved to vow revenge on Fang Yuan while others back out or grow determined. Fang Yuan, deeply aware that Heavenly Court is gathering the people’s rage to accumulate human will, orders his subordinates to stop. His subordinates vanish before Heavenly Court and Central Continent’s Gu Immortals can act, and the four regions’ super forces are perplexed. At a secret Southern Border meeting, Wu Yong analyzes Fang Yuan’s thinking. He reasons that pressing on would let Heavenly Court deduce where the attackers are and cost Fang Yuan many subordinates. Asked whether Fang Yuan will strike again, Wu Yong says he certainly will, but his own side must first slip out in secret as well. ^{ch. 1920}

In the previous life Fang Yuan attacked personally, was marked by the killer move people’s accusation and had to hide while subordinates acted. Now he stays hidden while his subordinates wreak the destruction. Unlike him, they cannot ward off Fairy Zi Wei’s deductions with wisdom path methods, so he has Bai Ning Bing and the rest hide after some destruction. The convention has only started, and these subordinates are still very useful to him. ^{ch. 1920}
