Chapter 559

In Fang Yuan’s former five hundred years, central continent Gu Immortals took down Imperial Court Blessed Land after first sending some Gu Masters into the treasure room of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Once they succeeded, they released a recording of the whole procedure to the world. It displayed central continent’s strength, struck at northern plains Gu Masters’ mental support, and showed Giant Sun Immortal Venerable plundering Gu worms across northern plains for his descendants. Northern plains fell into huge turmoil, and though the Huang Jin tribes suppressed it, people’s hearts wavered. Song Qie Xing, a central continent Gu Immortal, foresaw that the spirit of freedom in northern plains would break out of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s prison once the video had spread across the region. Fang Yuan remembers it vividly and saw its huge value at once after his rebirth. ^{ch. 559}

Saving Dang Hun mountain is merely one objective of this trip, and if it fails he can seek other compensation inside the building. The clip shows only the surface, but first hand information from Lang Ya land spirit gives him much greater confidence. He is only a mortal Gu Master. Refining the whole building takes at least a rank eight Gu Immortal. He plans to refine only a portion, as a termite devours the edges of a giant wooden cage. ^{ch. 559}

Fang Yuan injects primeval essence into the guest halt stele after a specialized Gu worm enters it, and his will follows the essence in. In a sea of darkness he finds a sun-like existence, the will Giant Sun Immortal Venerable injected into the building, still slumbering though his body perished long ago. It is unconscious and should not be alerted if he moves carefully. Waking it would disperse his soul, as the video showed happening to two central continent Gu Immortals. ^{ch. 559}

After four hours Fang Yuan succeeds, extremely tired from the mental stress. His two rank five peak stage apertures at ninety percent capacity fell short, and without the Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus it might have gone worse. Yet his joy fades and he frowns more deeply. In the clip a rank five middle stage Gu Master needed one hour without a break. Fang Yuan is sure the video cut scenes, so one mistake from trusting it would end his life. ^{ch. 559}

He has refined less than half a percent of the building, while Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s remnant will occupies thirty percent. Still, the crystal wall in this section now turns hollow for him, and any treasure inside can be taken without paying a price. He takes out a rush thunder stone, a rare Gu refinement material that is nearly extinct. It forms when thunder across the nine heavens explodes together, and production dropped drastically once seven heavens fell after the immemorial era. Then he returns it to the wall. The total treasure amount stays the same, every item is recorded by the super forces, and missing treasures would cause great suspicion. ^{ch. 559}

Fang Yuan walks deeper and reaches the guest halt stele again, where the invisible wall that blocked him a few hours ago has vanished. The building was created by Long Hair Ancestor, so other defensive measures remain, and he is prepared. Five to six mystical Gu worms leave his aperture and turn into colorful smoke around him. He walks past the stele once sure he is fully covered, and the smoke forms a flash of blood light. The treasures in the crystal walls are a tier better than before. A rank five strength path Gu worm in the wall leaves him overjoyed. ^{ch. 559}
