Striking a fortune
A six fingered formless hand grabs at Fang Yuan, shrouding him completely. Tai Bai Yun Sheng shouts in fright, but Fang Yuan reappears five hundred steps away with flash bug Gu, a rare rank five space path movement Gu he bought in treasure yellow heaven. Fang Yuan recalls that a formless hand is the killer move of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, with one to nine fingers seizing rank one to rank nine Gu worms, even vital Gu. Had that hand grabbed him, he would definitely have lost either Spring Autumn Cicada or Fixed Immortal Travel. ch. 631
True inheritance secluded domain has fallen into complete chaos, with Gu Masters evading, mourning their seized Gu worms or attacking the formless hands. Fang Yuan sees they have found that a hand that has captured a Gu worm clenches its fist and can be attacked then. A spread out palm is almost completely immune and can only be dodged. He is very familiar with this, because in his previous life Ma Hong Yun obtained a similar method from the inheritances of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. Ma Hong Yun used it many times in the great battle of the five regions. ch. 631
Fang Yuan dodges with flash bug Gu, wind flower Gu and eagle rise Gu until he is far enough away that the hand changes its target. He inspects his immortal aperture, which has crazily absorbed the remnants of heaven and earth qi and grown past 2000km². Its time flow has risen to six times as fast as outside. The problem lies in his first aperture, which is showing signs of being unable to bear the huge pressure from Spring Autumn Cicada. He realizes the changed time flow is chiefly what turns an immortal aperture into a small world drawing a tributary of the river of time, and the cicada, feeding on that water so near its source, drinks a lot and recovers faster. His first aperture is at rank five peak stage, and this unforeseen event has greatly brought forward the time limit it can endure. He cannot deal with it now, yet the aperture must be created, or he cannot keep contending. ch. 631
Then countless cracks appear across the domain and let in light from outside. Many formless hands squeeze in through them, a seven fingered one among them. Evading becomes far harder, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng errs, leaving his sole escape path blocked by six formless hands. He crashes into a three fingered hand, which paralyzes him briefly before flying away with a clenched fist, and he escapes. ch. 631
Gu Masters meet with calamity, at worst losing every Gu worm, which plunges their battle strength to the bottom. One whose Gu worms are all seized cries for help as a true inheritance flies at him, but nobody can help, and it crushes him into meat paste. That true inheritance flies on, evading hands until a five fingered formless hand grabs it and more hands pile on, ten in all. They fly off with clenched fists and leave it robbed clean. ch. 631
Fang Yuan snickers and attacks a fist he has eyed, breaking it to take a rank five mortal Gu, which he refines and stores in his pocket. He flashes three hundred steps away and breaks another fist in three punches, obtaining an Immortal Gu. He has time to break only three fists in all, getting two mortal Gu and an Immortal Gu, and suppresses them without refining. Eight formless hands then attack him together. Only after great effort does he get rid of them. ch. 631
A formless fist flies at him, and he breaks it and obtains a rank five Gu. The Gu struggles intensely. He cannot suppress it. He realizes it is not a wild Gu but a Gu worm of a Gu Master, which makes refining it several times harder. Hei Lou Lan flies at him hurriedly and furiously, claiming the Gu as his own and shouting for Fang Yuan to let go. Fang Yuan smiles at the sight. ch. 631
