Coexistence of Pain and Joy
Hei Lou Lan has outstanding battle strength, but his strength and dark path cultivation leaves him weak in movement. Under the pursuit of the formless hands, where only flying masters can barely survive, that weakness is completely revealed. The hands keep seizing his Gu worms, and new ones appear however many he destroys. He cannot give up, because the Gu worm Fang Yuan captured is, very unfortunately, his vital Gu. Its destruction would cause him heavy injuries. It has been seized six times now, and only this time did it land in the hand of Fang Yuan. ch. 632
Fang Yuan does not know the rank five Gu is a vital Gu, but he can tell its huge importance from the behavior of Hei Lou Lan. He scorns the idea of returning it and flies far away on his six wings. The hatred between them is very deep, yet this is no time to kill Hei Lou Lan. With more and more formless hands, fighting would surely cost an extremely disastrous price, and a cornered Hei Lou Lan with Great Strength True Martial Physique might self-detonate. Fang Yuan suppresses the restless Gu worm and soon shakes him off. ch. 632
Fang Yuan checks his immortal aperture, which has absorbed heaven and earth qi since he left Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s aperture. It already exceeds 2600km². Its time flow of one to twelve is slowing in growth. He has drawn in nearly all the heaven and earth qi in true inheritance secluded domain and now waits for the aperture to stabilize completely. Hei Lou Lan roars that he will get his Gu back, then gives up the chase, since persisting would make Fang Yuan suspicious. Formless hands cannot refine Gu worms, and Fang Yuan has no time to refine this one. Hei Lou Lan therefore keeps his connection to it and plans to get near and ambush Fang Yuan. ch. 632
The formless hands have completely gained control of the domain, and Gu Masters and true inheritance light lumps can only flee. As Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture grows, Spring Autumn Cicada absorbs more water of the river of time, and the mounting pressure has cracked his first aperture’s walls in many places. To lower that pressure Fang Yuan has emptied all the primeval essence from it. He flies using tens of movement Gu with huge demand for primeval essence. Having planned ahead, he carries close to a thousand beggar moths, Gu worms that store primeval essence, bought in treasure yellow heaven thanks to Hu Immortal blessed land. His six wings suggest three eagle rise Gu, but he rotates more than a dozen to prolong their use, since his growing aperture draws the heaven and earth qi onto him and makes its backlash very high. ch. 632
Backlash is also a barrier to ascension. Tai Bai Yun Sheng lost many Gu worms to it and would have none left without the support of Fang Yuan. A Gu Master who manages to advance normally has every mortal Gu destroyed. Fang Yuan turns into six arm heavenly zombie king, shatters a formless fist and obtains a Gu. It is the third wild Immortal Gu since he left the aperture of Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and he suppresses it and stores it in his pocket. ch. 632
Fang Yuan looks for Ma Hong Yun with insatiable greed. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable relied largely on luck path supreme true inheritance to dominate the lands and become invincible. The formless hands now give Fang Yuan an extremely rare chance to seize its luck path Gu worms. He sees no trace of it, since it too keeps moving, a wild will driving it to dodge the formless hands even as it shields Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. ch. 632
Cracks then spread over the whole domain, and more formless hands squeeze in. Backlash pushes his movement Gu past their limit, and many perish. Hands also appear together and block all escape paths, so he is grabbed two or three times. Each time he deliberately chooses the hand with fewer fingers and lets his Gu worm be taken. ch. 632
