Chapter 809

From the phantom formation Chang Fan deduced from ancient texts, Fang Yuan judges his phantom path attainment at master level. From his remodeling of the ruin bat’s corpse into a corpse mountain, he judges space path the same. It is proof Chang Fan was no simple character. ^{ch. 809}

Fang Yuan is drawn to the method of controlling the phantom beast army. Desolate-level phantom beasts, even at rank six, can pester a rank seven Gu Immortal by turning phantom, and a group could raise his battle strength greatly. The method needs the corpse mountain first, then the ruin bat’s power for control. ^{ch. 809}

Fang Yuan reads this as another trap. Chang Fan knows he can uproot mountains and wants to lure him to the ruin bat’s corpse mountain, mostly destroyed, its aura stripped by heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity. It is likely crawling with beasts feeding on the corpse. ^{ch. 809}

He rests, then soul searches Chang Fan a third time. Chang Fan is filled with fury at his ruined schemes. Both attempts were crude plays on human greed, aimed at making Fang Yuan blunder. Undeceived, Fang Yuan finally draws out what he wants most: Chang Fan’s wisdom path inheritance. ^{ch. 809}

Unexpectedly it traces to Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. It was not left behind by her directly, since Chang Fan would not have fallen if it had been. A rank eight star path Gu Immortal of Heavenly Court studied her secrets and built this imitation. Though its creator practiced star path, the inheritance is wisdom path, built on star thought Gu. ^{ch. 809}

The more Fang Yuan comprehends it, the greater his joy. The harvest is extremely bountiful: a complete inheritance covers attack, defense, healing, movement and investigation, none outstanding, none lacking. ^{ch. 809}

Since his rebirth, Fang Yuan’s strength path cultivation was pieced together bit by bit. Never inherited whole. This one’s value matches the blood path true inheritance that let him rise in his previous life. He regrets obtaining it a bit late, since his first aperture died when he turned immortal zombie. ^{ch. 809}

Cultivating it earlier might have cost him the immortal killer move myriad self, whose prospects exceed this inheritance’s. It still comes at an opportune time, since the rank nine wisdom Gu consumes his thoughts extremely quickly and his thought Gu cannot bear it. This inheritance lets him deduce at a smaller price instead. ^{ch. 809}

His immortal aperture, filled with death energy, could sap most resource value over time. New resources go to the blessed land instead. Fang Yuan summons the land spirit and switches the second stone nest to star thought Gu. Little Hu Immortal reports the air bubble fish placed to promise a greater yield of starlight firefly Gu, and close to a million dragonfish awaiting a larger lake. ^{ch. 809}

Literature carps sit in a small pool she dug to hide them. Over a thousand surviving eerie fire dragon pythons have joined the earlier group, and oil water sits stored in Dang Hun palace, and regretful spiders occupy the north. Praised as most capable, Little Hu Immortal hugs his calf, and Fang Yuan promises good times ahead. ^{ch. 809}

She warns that the shark fin wolf he brought hides in its pool and sobs. He answers that it suffered a setback and will recover. She reminds him the earthly calamity is coming soon. He assures her he has not forgotten. ^{ch. 809}

The blessed land runs five times faster than the outside world, and suffers a calamity every ten years. Over a year has passed outside, in Central Continent and Northern Plains. The previous calamity brought a desolate beast swamp crab carrying an Immortal Gu, Gruel Mud, faced when he was only a mortal Gu Master. Now a rank six Gu Immortal with many Immortal Gu and allies, he feels confident he can pass the next one. ^{ch. 809}
