So close to success, yet it was all for naught
Fang Yuan summons a golden dragon that turns the heavy tai dogs into meat paste and clears his path. Yi Chong rushes him demanding the immortal treasure, and Fang Yuan escapes the huge waves on bone wings Gu. Yi Huo sends fire birds, and Fang Yuan’s golden aurora Gu outpaces them. The commotion draws Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang, and Xiao Mang shoots a giant hand of light at him. ch. 398
Mo Wu Tian’s gentle feelings Gu slows Fang Yuan just enough for the hand to catch up. Unable to dodge, he fights back with his Gu worms, and the hand disperses. The blast flings him unconscious toward the ground. The rushing wind wakes him, and he activates a Gu while shouting that Tie Ruo Nan has obtained a peerless Immortal Gu and is refining it. Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang turn away, the crowd’s enthusiasm surges, and Tie Bai Qi’s pressure intensifies. Fang Yuan hides in dark clouds with Wu Gui’s movement Gu. ch. 398
Four chains then extend from nowhere, bind his limbs and drag him into the void. He reappears in the bronze hall, where Tie clan’s four old-timers stand around him at north, south, east and west. They activate their killer move, infinite search and lock. ch. 398
On Dang Hun mountain in Hu Immortal blessed land, the contest for the blessed land’s owner nears its end. Lord Sky Crane, sounding extremely tired, urges Fang Zheng on, and Fang Zheng says one opponent remains. Xiao Qi Xing stares wide as Fang Zheng climbs past him. Ying Sheng Ji, furthest from the peak, lets go and falls, and the land spirit transports him out. Bloodied, extremely tired and almost unable to think, Fang Zheng surpasses Feng Jin Huang and comes less than a meter from the peak. ch. 398
Outside, Gu Immortals congratulate He Feng Yang on Immortal Crane Sect’s showing. One of them sneers that the Hu Immortal Inheritance belongs to Spirit Affinity House. Feng Jin Huang grows a pair of wings, and the watchers name the legendary Immortal Gu dream wings. It runs on spirit and soul rather than immortal essence, and forcing it as a mortal will severely damage her soul, at best amnesia, at worst a ruined mind. Too proud to accept defeat, she flies past Fang Zheng, who stares in dejection. She drags herself up the last stretch and rolls onto the peak. She is the sole winner and the new owner of Hu Immortal blessed land. ch. 398
In the bronze hall at San Cha mountain, Tie Ruo Nan laughs heartily before the chained Fang Yuan. Bai Ning Bing says he secretly planted fixed star Gu in Fang Yuan’s left arm to locate him anywhere. Fang Yuan sees an eight-sided star fragment on his forearm. He howls the name Bai Ning Bing. In his past life the same move captured Kong Ri Tian, and wariness of it is why Fang Yuan did not help at once when the four old-timers trapped Bai Ning Bing. Without fixed star Gu, the move is no threat at all. The four old-timers personally gave the Gu to Bai Ning Bing, who planted it while Fang Yuan was injecting yellow gold primeval essence to nurture Bai Ning Bing’s aperture. ch. 398
Tie Ruo Nan says Fang Yuan’s Gu worms are sealed and he cannot use primeval essence, though he could still will them to self-detonate, which she advises against. Infinite search and lock, both space path and seal path, seals even the rank five warp Gu, and Fang Yuan lowers his head in silence. Bai Ning Bing declares that Demon Suppression Tower will be Fang Yuan’s final resting place, feeling extremely complicated, both joy and sorrow, at the capture of his mortal enemy. He thanks Fang Yuan for the excitement of these years and pays respects. ch. 398
