Giant Sun's retaliation
Inside True Yang Building, the land spirit Frost Jade Peacock breaks three of the black chains binding it, and the green paste melts thoroughly from its neck to its wing tips. Giant Sun’s will bursts with fury. The peacock screams that Giant Sun, though dead, imprisoned it for hundreds of thousands of years, and that it will definitely break out today. Ten thousand special will Gu surround the will like a dam, but it holds only a few breaths before shattering. A will from Giant Sun Immortal Venerable is extremely large, so it destroys them all. ch. 608
Freed, Giant Sun’s will tries to take control of True Yang Building, but fifty thousand special will Gu gather at once into a new encirclement. Central continent’s Gu Immortals prepared well, and special will Gu, being no Immortal Gu, can be piled up. The will breaks out again, and a third wave of over a hundred thousand surrounds it. The Gu Immortals spent thousands of years and astronomical resources on them, and now Fang Yuan uses them all. Giant Sun’s will turns calm and soon finds a flaw. ch. 608
Refined Gu worms cannot absorb primeval essence from their surroundings, so the special will Gu must run on immortal essence. One bead of the lowest grade rank six green grape immortal essence converts into almost unlimited primeval essence. Supporting Gu worms hide it, forming an enormous hidden Gu formation. Giant Sun’s will plans to cut the link, but must first grasp the formation. It finds over ten clues, and the formation’s structure grows clearer. ch. 608
Meanwhile the land spirit strains against its seals, and as Gruel Mud melts the paste on its body, four more chains break. It unfolds its wings, but three remaining chains pull them in tight, and the pain enrages it. Giant Sun’s will must stop thinking, because if the peacock breaks his control, Eighty-Eight True Yang Building could be thrown out of Imperial Court blessed land. Countless Gu Immortals would then rush to loot it. His probing attacks recover only limited methods. ch. 608
Outside, a hill sized lofty tiger leaps at Tai Bai Yun Sheng, who dodges, while willow winds drift down from the sky. Three willow winds touched him earlier and destroyed all his defensive Gu, and now he is bathed in blood and in danger of losing his life. Fang Yuan, nervous, forcibly activates luck inspection Gu despite the backlash and sees a quarter of Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s flaming luck dissipate. Then a light pillar from True Yang Building shatters most of the willow winds into pure heaven qi and chases the lofty tiger until it vanishes. Many cheer that old ancestor protected him. ch. 608
Ye Lui Sang guesses it is the rumored divert disaster Gu, and Hei Lou Lan wants that Immortal Gu, because it can divert or even obliterate heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities. Divert disaster Gu is a cornerstone of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and one of the few methods Giant Sun’s will can mobilize. After rampaging to extract a trace of yellow apricot immortal essence, Giant Sun’s will also activates human qi Immortal Gu in the true inheritance secluded domain. Human qi Immortal Gu sheds white light on Tai Bai Yun Sheng, whose luck dissipates by another quarter. His human qi inflates tenfold. ch. 608
Needing more heaven qi and earth qi, Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughs heartily and absorbs them from Imperial Court blessed land, merging the three qi and greatly increasing his potential. The land spirit cries furiously, weakened by the extraction. Giant Sun’s will, having put all the immortal essence it extracted on the most crucial area, snorts that the peacock is still too green. The land spirit’s weakening turns the situation in favour of Giant Sun’s will, which now has ample time to grasp the formation. Once the will breaks the encirclement, undoing central continent’s seal on the yellow apricot immortal essence would be extremely easy, freeing the building’s rank eight might. Fang Yuan, watching through the glass owner token, judges that he underestimated an Immortal Venerable’s will and has less than half the expected time left. His heart sinks, and he places his hopes in Tai Bai Yun Sheng quickly becoming a Gu Immortal and refining landscape as before Gu. ch. 608
