Chapter 784

Dong Fang Wan Xiu dispels his concealment and moves toward where Dong Fang Yu Liang disappeared. Asked whether Chang Fan favored him before death, he refuses the title first supreme elder, saying only the late Chang Fan deserves it. He has convened all the tribe’s Gu Immortals here, and waves off their worry over clues by reading the teleportation Gu formation’s shifting aura. After a while he tells the others to follow. ^{ch. 784}

Dong Fang Yu Liang wakes with a terrible headache. His body is wounded, and his bones are broken, though his rank five peak stage cultivation heals him quickly. By Chang Fan’s map they should have traveled only half the route, so he wonders how they arrived so soon. He guesses the map’s second half is false, its true endpoint somewhere in the middle. ^{ch. 784}

Such misdirection blocks wisdom path rivals, since only a wisdom path Immortal could read thoughts to find the route. Tan Wu Feng and Dong Po Kong were teleported alongside him, but he sees no trace of them. He decides to find them before exploring further. ^{ch. 784}

He finds himself in one hall of a larger, once beautiful ruin, and meets no one. He finds Tan Wu Feng, also searching for him, and together they find Dong Po Kong unconscious at the hall’s exit and rouse him. All three are glad to be reunited. ^{ch. 784}

Dong Fang Yu Liang reasons this must be where Chang Fan set his inheritance. The first hall holds no clues, so they move to the second, where a test under a time limit awaits. He passes it quickly and is rewarded with a set of rank five wisdom path Gu worms, then presses into the third hall, where a remnant Gu recipe waits for him to deduce within fifteen minutes. ^{ch. 784}

Elsewhere, Fang Yuan’s clues prove false, and the fifth brings him a giant horned sheep. His luck, now connected with Ye Fan, Hong Yi and Han Li, makes it an easy fight, and he traps it alive with giant hand. He calls it a surprise blessing. He plans to raise it in his blessed land, feeding its flesh to eat strength Immortal Gu. Buying strength path food from treasure yellow heaven has grown costly since he gained that Gu, but his rank seven battle strength and giant hand now outmatch ordinary desolate beasts. ^{ch. 784}

Aware of many rivals and one prize, he rates his chances as low. Fairy Li Shan’s message then reaches him: people have found the true inheritance ground, where an intense battle rages and draws more Gu Immortals. ^{ch. 784}

Fang Yuan meets Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan, and they arrive to find a dozen or so Gu Immortals pacing outside. News that Fang Yuan captured the sheep alive with giant hand has spread. Demonic path Gu Immortals, wary of his shown strength, part to let the three fly through. ^{ch. 784}

Below lies the corpse of a ruin bat, once as strong as a rank eight Gu Immortal, its space path dao marks shaping the ground into illusory halls that drag in anyone below rank eight strength. Its presence there keeps other desolate beasts out of a huge range. Chang Fan held only rank seven, so arranging his inheritance here is another clear sign of why he is called Northern Plains’ number one wisdom path Gu Immortal. ^{ch. 784}

The Gu Immortals above hesitate over the ruin bat’s corpse. Dong Fang Yu Liang has already reached the eighth hall. A lump of star will condenses into Chang Fan’s appearance and names Dong Fang Yu Liang its chosen inheritor, and he prostrates himself in tears. The star will tells him this is not the final hall but the inheritance’s end: completing and activating the hall’s Gu formation will mean he has completely obtained the inheritance and can receive its wisdom path Immortal Gu. Dong Fang Yu Liang vows he will definitely do his best, and the star will warns that little time is left. ^{ch. 784}
