Chapter 622

Rank nine Immortal Venerable Giant Sun left behind a will to rule Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, and the chapter calls it the most powerful being present as the tower collapses. Opposite it stands Hei Lou Lan, winner of the last Imperial Court contest and the current Hei tribe leader, who holds the Great Strength True Martial Physique among the ten extreme physiques. Frost Jade Peacock, imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years, is out. ^{ch. 622}

Tai Bai Yun Sheng, a rank six Gu Immortal who owns two mysterious Immortal Gu, has spent nearly his whole life healing the injured, and the chapter calls him a living legend for it. Fang Yuan owns Spring Autumn Cicada and Hu Immortal blessed land. The chapter ranks the Cicada seventh among the ten mystical Gu and calls Fang Yuan a reborn, five hundred year old demon. ^{ch. 622}

Favored by a rank eight fortune rivalling heaven Gu, Ma Hong Yun inherited Giant Sun’s inheritance and an opportunity from Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable in Fang Yuan’s previous life, becoming a great hero of northern plains who resisted central continent’s invasion. Zhao Lian Yun was his wife in that same previous life, a wisdom path Gu Immortal Giant Sun’s will calls an otherworldly demon. Mo Yao was a former rank seven Gu Immortal. She was the thirty-sixth generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House, a refinement grandmaster whose will lingered after death, having schemed against the tower. ^{ch. 622}

Fang Yuan’s trump card has just forced the main portion of Giant Sun’s will out of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, leaving it to suffer heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity outside. The will also risks drawing sub-wills out of the true inheritances to retake control of the round and kill Zhao Lian Yun. By a twist of fate, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun now hold Imperial Court blessed land, and the luck path true inheritance protects them. For now, they are safe. ^{ch. 622}

Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng have made a temporary alliance and are probing Hei Lou Lan in a standoff. Hei Lou Lan wants to fight Fang Yuan outright, but Giant Sun’s will orders him instead to deal with Ma Hong Yun and retrieve the luck path true inheritance. He hesitates, then obeys. He warns Fang Yuan he is letting them off only for the moment before leaving, and Fang Yuan does not give chase. Tai Bai Yun Sheng, a healer who lacks the mortal Gu numbers of an ordinary Gu Immortal, has just spent a prolonged battle slowly wearing down a human strength phantom to death. ^{ch. 622}

Mo Yao’s will asks whether they should intervene as Hei Lou Lan goes after the luck path true inheritance, a supreme hidden treasure Giant Sun Immortal Venerable used on his way to becoming ruler of the era. Fang Yuan does not move. He watches a whirlwind forming nearby instead, and with one step and one punch scatters the fist qi that composes it. The scattered aura still tries to condense back, though too weak this time to reform. ^{ch. 622}

Fang Yuan knows strength path phantoms as the long range attacking method of strength path, but this is the first time he has seen ones with such spirituality, their fist qi re-condensing after being destroyed. He names it Hei Lou Lan’s strength path phantom. Mo Yao judges that twenty simultaneous phantoms with the remaining fist qi still able to condense would be terrifying power. At thirty, she says, the killer move can absolutely contend with Fang Yuan’s own six arm heavenly zombie king, the move he researched and she perfected. She is not a strength path Gu Immortal herself, and guesses this is a modern innovation mixing soul path and qi path. Fang Yuan himself specialized in blood path in his previous life and only cultivated strength path on the side. ^{ch. 622}

Treemen swarm to attack Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, but Giant Sun’s luck path true inheritance shields them like a golden egg. Giant Sun’s will wants Zhao Lian Yun dead but also wants the inheritance itself protected, so when Hei Lou Lan draws near he opens a passage to the true inheritance secluded domain and has him push the luck path treasure through. Hei Lou Lan unleashes forty strength path phantoms, which lift the true inheritance toward the passage alongside the treemen’s vines. The true inheritance erupts with dazzling light. The treemen melt like snow, and the vines last less than two breaths before being destroyed completely. ^{ch. 622}

The phantoms keep crumbling and reforming as the true inheritance slowly leaves the ground. The passage erupts with suction like a giant mouth trying to take it back inside. Tai Bai Yun Sheng marvels that Hei Lou Lan can sustain so many phantoms at once. Mo Yao explains the move is the long range mirror of Fang Yuan’s own close range killer move, matched with six arm heavenly zombie king in principle but far surpassing it by several times in Hei Lou Lan’s hands. The chapter attributes the gap to the Great Strength True Martial Physique, which legend says grants immense strength, stamina that never runs out and remarkable self recovery. ^{ch. 622}

Tai Bai Yun Sheng, passive by nature, laments that Hei Lou Lan blocks their path to any share of the supreme true inheritance. Fang Yuan instead proposes going straight to the true inheritance secluded domain. With every one of Giant Sun’s sub-wills withdrawn, the inheritances there are ownerless, ruled only by newly formed young wild wills that no longer require an owner token and can be refined with the right handling. ^{ch. 622}

Mo Yao almost slaps her own thigh at the realization. She warns that Giant Sun’s main will is due back soon, leaving time to claim only one inheritance, and urges Fang Yuan to choose quickly. Tai Bai Yun Sheng asks how they can even enter a domain the round still keeps sealed, and Fang Yuan answers by producing Fixed Immortal Travel, an Immortal Gu he had left with Tai Bai Yun Sheng for safekeeping. Since it can carry only one person, Fang Yuan has Tai Bai Yun Sheng open his own immortal aperture, called a blessed land at rank six and seven, so Fang Yuan can enter and send him a mental image of the secluded domain’s location. Imperial Court, Lang Ya, Hu Immortal and Tai Bai blessed lands are all named as the same kind of space. Tai Bai Yun Sheng activates Fixed Immortal Travel, and Giant Sun’s will, with no spare strength to stop him, lets him go ahead alone. ^{ch. 622}

Inside, the true inheritance secluded domain is chaos, its dozens of inheritances ruled by new wild wills that fly wildly and collide with each other. Mo Yao urges him to choose quickly, since the inheritances are destroying each other and one taken too late may already have lost its essence. Fang Yuan has time to choose only one true inheritance. He asks Mo Yao to point him toward the final supreme true inheritance. The chapter names three inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building: a rank nine wisdom Gu, Giant Sun’s luck path inheritance, and the tower itself, whose owner would control the whole building. ^{ch. 622}

Mo Yao is stunned. She realizes that with every sub-will withdrawn, this is the best chance anyone will get to seize authority over Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Fang Yuan agrees that Giant Sun’s will, absorbed in destroying Zhao Lian Yun, has exposed its greatest flaw and given them the opening to turn the crisis around. He judges that taking the tower for himself would give him the territorial advantage, leaving even a stronger Giant Sun’s will locked outside barking at the door. ^{ch. 622}
