Chapter 1939

Fairy Zi Wei wakes, a little dazed, and asks about the battle. Qin Ding Ling grimly shows her a silhouette of Fang Yuan suppressing Duke Long and Cang Xuan Zi. Duke Long uses Purple-Gold Dragon-Shaped Qi, his very comprehensive main method in qi path, which killed Five Elements Grandmaster in the previous life. Even so, Fang Yuan repels him, relying on Myriad Year Flying Warship for unprecedented time path battle strength. Duke Long and Cang Xuan Zi cannot block spring scissors and summer fan. ^{ch. 1939}

Fairy Zi Wei analyzes that Duke Long is not weaker than Fang Yuan but is passive, since he must protect the immortal graveyard. That gives Fang Yuan the initiative, and destroying the primordial qi wall was a huge move. Limitless Demon Venerable is stopping Star Constellation’s will from awakening more Gu Immortals. She sends Qin Ding Ling to reinforce Duke Long and to get Gu Yue Fang Zheng to fight too, since he has progressed while cultivating in Demon Judgment Board. She herself will heal in a healing hall at the battlefield’s periphery, and Qin Ding Ling reluctantly flies away. ^{ch. 1939}

Fang Yuan uses Summer Fan. Duke Long is blown back three hundred steps, and the storm breaks Cang Xuan Zi’s vines, though her space path defense makes any move travel a huge distance to reach her. The time path tornado still reaches the immortal graveyard and causes a minor loss, which deeply pains Heavenly Court’s immortals. Earlier Duke Long was blown back five hundred steps, so Fang Yuan sees him adapting and growing stronger. Fang Yuan knows nothing of Cang Xuan Zi, and his low space path attainment lets him deduce nothing useful. ^{ch. 1939}

Fang Yuan judges that in real battle he would be evenly matched against Duke Long and Cang Xuan Zi. If he cannot succeed soon, he will give up on the graveyard and attack Heaven Overseeing Tower once Genesis Lotus’ method is activated. Until then he wants the graveyard destroyed, since Heavenly Court should have four Dao Guardians including Duke Long. He holds back trump cards such as time cutting edge, since a failed use would let the two prepare against them. He is also wary of Duke Long’s triple qi retraction. He finds no opening. ^{ch. 1939}

A cloud of blood with a peculiar aura approaches him. Daybreak flying swords tear it apart, but Cooking Luck Pot appears above him and blood markings stick to it, trying to corrode his luck. He cannot remove them without full concentration and a lot of time. A red tombstone, the rank eight Immortal Gu House Demon Judgment Board, approaches, and he guesses Fang Zheng is inside. Inside are Fang Zheng and Qin Ding Ling, whose palms on his back amplify his killer move. Fang Zheng is only rank seven, but as Fairy Zi Wei predicted, his killer moves are very effective on Fang Yuan. ^{ch. 1939}

Qin Ding Ling sighs that Fang Zheng is Fang Yuan’s nemesis, the pawn heaven’s will left specially. Heaven’s will used Fang Yuan as a pawn against Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s plan, but as an otherworldly demon he is the greatest variable himself, so it arranged Fang Zheng as his counter. After becoming Demon Judgment Board Lord, Fang Zheng used the experience of previous Board Lords to create blood-kin heart revenge. This blood path mimics luck path and contains the profundity of human path, and her amplification is only icing on the cake. It activates again, and Fang Yuan dodges, but the blood cloud keeps chasing him. He wonders why, as he has used sovereign immortal fetus Gu and this body has no bloodline relationship with Fang Zheng. ^{ch. 1939}
