Chapter 1983

Wu Shuai stands at the door of Dragon Palace and watches the battle. He judges that the variant human rank eights have low battle strength, with only Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch passable. Heaven’s will has helped the variant humans survive and develop, making their tribulations many times simpler than a normal human Gu Immortal faces. Black and white heaven each cover the total area of all five regions, which is why they hold so many rank eights. ^{ch. 1983}

Inside Golden Star Tower, Xia Ying finds the rank eights very tough to deal with, and she seems to have the upper hand but cannot last long. Dragon Palace then flies away from the battlefield. Wu Shuai asks what their existence is worth if over ten rank eights cannot handle one rank seven immortal and one rank seven house. They are tongue-tied. ^{ch. 1983}

Xia Ying realizes that Dragon Palace is flying toward Human Sea. Wu Shuai halts above a lake and sends a mystical light into the water. White fog rises with countless human voices and forms tens of thousands of silhouettes. At his word it condenses into white lake water and flows into the palace. Xia Ying despairs that Wu Shuai can take Human Sea, though only Xia clan Gu Immortals knew of its construction and only the first supreme elder knows how to retrieve it. ^{ch. 1983}

Wu Shuai finds Human Sea incomplete, but he need only kill enough humans to replenish it. Xia clan spent many years on it in secret, attempting a human path secluded domain. In Fang Yuan’s previous life it helped the clan rise to the top. It still fell far short of an actual secluded domain. ^{ch. 1983}

In that life Southern Border’s Chai clan later began building a similar domain, Human Mountain, and wisdom path Gu Immortals deduced that fusing it with Human Sea could form an actual secluded domain of heaven and earth. Wu Shuai finds Human Mountain and Sea too far away. Human Sea alone is sufficiently helpful to Fang Yuan’s main body. That body is blocked by the heaven path restriction, Red Lotus’ scheme, and human path is its countermeasure. Thanks to Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch, Wu Shuai retrieves it easily in Fang Yuan’s place. ^{ch. 1983}

The battle ends with Xia Ying unable to escape and many rank eights injured, and Ice Crystal Immortal Monarch has defeated Golden Star Tower. An anxious rank eight complains that taking the human path treasure is not fair. Dragon Palace uses its killer move Dreamy Light Smoke and sweeps him inside before he can speak again. Wu Shuai asks who else has a problem with him. The pale immortals keep silent. ^{ch. 1983}
