Compromise
In a dark secret room, Fang Yuan holds an east window Gu, a rank four information path Gu that he bought in treasure yellow heaven. It stores information about wills. Since Mo Yao’s will lurked in his mind, he has spent many immortal essence stones on such information. ch. 570
He learns that thought, will and emotion belong to one branch, with a few thoughts gathering into will and a few wills merging into emotion. Love Gu is the most famous Gu of the emotion path, from which enchantment path was derived. The more he learns, the clearer it is that with his foundation in wisdom path he cannot get rid of Mo Yao’s will. In attainment of will he is a mound beside her tall mountain. Her attainment has greatly exceeded his understanding, and after days of probing he feels she is truly on another level. ch. 570
He decides to give way. Entering his mind, he tells her that he accepts her suggestion and will return Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House. She is surprised that he compromises so quickly, having expected him in seven or eight days when he came after one. The six arm heavenly zombie king that she left him was held back in part, more an indication of her attitude than a bait. ch. 570
Fang Yuan points out that Immortal Crane Sect has declared him a member because of Hu Immortal blessed land, and that both sects are among the top ten in central continent. Returning Water Pavilion to Spirit Affinity House will not be easy. Mo Yao replies that it is a huge matter, and that he must be a Gu Immortal at least. She promises to help him become one and to assist him in obtaining Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and says he will gain as much of her refinement attainment as he can learn. She then gives him the final part of six arm heavenly zombie king, which is earth chief zombie Gu. ch. 570
Fang Yuan objects that this Gu, though a strong rank five, cannot fly. Mo Yao answers that she modified the recipe long ago so that an earth chief zombie can soar by the natural magnetic field without wings. She transmits the recipe, whose main new ingredient is original magnetic essence. Drawing on five hundred years of experience, he judges it usable. She warns him to test the move on a few people first. It has about ten times the strength of four arm earth king and four arm wind king, so a failure would bring an equally powerful backlash. ch. 570
In the sacred palace the third layer of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building forms. Cheers rise, and a group of about a dozen Gu Masters, leaving in a hurry, stops at the eastern entrance. Jiang Dong snorts to Ma Hong Yun that Huang Jin tribe Gu Masters are lucky, since any reward inside the building could make them rich. Ma Hong Yun laughs sheepishly that his bloodline is not thick enough for him to enter. Jiang Dong’s bitterness and jealousy lessen, and the others treat Ma Hong Yun more gently. One pats his shoulder and invites him to earn a fortune hunting the earth chief beast with them. ch. 570
Ma Hong Yun bows and agrees. He actually can enter, but at rank one with neither good nor bad aptitude it is pointless, so he hunts daily with groups to cover his expenses and accumulate primeval stones. He had saved Ma Ying Jie by chance, and after Hei tribe seized Ma tribe he became Ma Hong Yun and could finally cultivate. What he told Jiang Dong was Zhao Lian Yun’s instruction before he set off. ch. 570
