Chapter 388

Long Qing Tian finds a weakened zone where heavenly power is very weak, so he can use one Gu. He plans to poison the blessed land with jade sky Gu, link it to the main world and escape the three kings rules. He senses someone far away. Puzzled that it is Fang Yuan, he calls him Little beast king Fang Zheng. ^{ch. 388}

Fang Yuan attacks with a bone spike. The jade sky Gu poison already invades a huge area, so he, with no detoxification method, fights only at long range using Gu worms taken from the experts he killed. Long Qing Tian can use one Gu at a time while Fang Yuan can use any number with the land spirit’s help, and Long Qing Tian is defeated in a few rounds. ^{ch. 388}

Smiling darkly, Long Qing Tian activates the jade sky Gu and kills himself with poison, knowing he cannot survive. Fang Yuan did not kill him, and the corpse is pale jade green. Only the four great doctors of the current southern border can cleanse the Gu’s extinct immemorial poison. A poisoned Gu Master fades into green light within two hours and very few survive, Wu Shen Tong from Wu clan having been extremely lucky. Fang Yuan will not risk devouring the aperture, since the benefits do not match the risk. ^{ch. 388}

The fight has used the last portion of immortal essence he could spend on kills, so beast strength placenta Gu reaches only eighty-nine percent aptitude, short of the ninety he wanted. The land is already infected, and the poison will eventually break out, rotting it into green-blue light and forming a huge hole. The hole will hasten the blessed land’s destruction and weaken the land spirit, and the old land lacks the immortal essence to cut the rot away. His killing done, Fang Yuan returns to refine Gu. He sleeps an hour a day as Spring Autumn Cicada’s pressure intensifies. ^{ch. 388}

In Central Continent, Fang Yuan’s younger brother Fang Zheng, from Immortal Crane Sect, climbs Dang Hun mountain laboriously, passing climber after climber. Fairy Bi Xia watches with a complicated gaze. With Lord Sky Crane’s help he surpasses the ten sect elites until only Xiao Qi Xing, Ying Sheng Ji and Feng Jin Huang remain above him. Seeing Fang Zheng at the front, He Feng Yang sighs in relief that he did not use one’s own way Gu in vain. Gu Immortals note that Immortal Crane Sect is only fourth, a huge difference behind the first three. ^{ch. 388}

Fang Yuan has the land spirit add ninety grams of willow orpiment and thirty snowball Gu to a floating lump of light, which shrinks to a tiny soil-yellow rock after two days and one night of refining. He falls asleep, but the land spirit wakes him after an hour, because the rock will evaporate in fifteen minutes and undo his work. Even with his memories the refining was nerve wracking, and no one refined the second aperture Gu in his previous life. His head stays heavy. ^{ch. 388}

Five portions of immortal essence remain, eighteen days after Long Qing Tian was killed, and the inheritance drains the land while drawing more Gu Masters, some established experts. On October nineteenth, with refining only two-thirds done, Fang Yuan calculates that the last step comes in five days. October twenty-fourth is, in history, the day Feng Jin Huang wins and inherits Hu Immortal blessed land. In his previous life she became a Gu Immortal and, once he had created the bloodwing demonic sect, his mortal enemy, until he and allied demonic path Gu Immortals killed her at a painful price. He sighs that he is too far away to stop her. He does not know his brother is alive and competing with her, and his rebirth has already affected the ten sects. ^{ch. 388}
