Chapter 814

Old Ancestor Xue Hu’s defeat of Yao Huang and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu shakes Northern Plains. News spreads fast, and the region’s Gu Immortal world falls into chaos. Central Continent Gu Immortals carry the news home, and the ten great ancient sects’ leaders mark Xue Hu’s name deeply. ^{ch. 814}

A few days later, Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan arrive at Hu Immortal blessed land with firsthand information. Fang Yuan holds an information path mortal Gu and views the fight through Fairy Li Shan’s perspective. Even at a distance, he feels the three rank eights’ power by naked eye. ^{ch. 814}

Fang Yuan reviews the scene three times before returning the Gu worm. He had already anticipated Xue Hu’s power from his previous life, in which Central Continent lost several huge battles to him and he killed some of its rank eights. ^{ch. 814}

He explains that Northern Plains’ righteous path, the Huang Jin bloodline, greatly suppresses the demonic path and lone cultivators and holds two rank eights: Yao Huang and Prince Feng Xian, Central Continent’s biggest spy there. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s collapse and Imperial Court blessed land’s fall ruined Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s arrangements, costing the righteous path most. Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, a rank eight who lacks that bloodline and fears the combined Huang Jin super forces, built his force only after that fall in both of Fang Yuan’s lives. He joined today’s failed demand for Miniscule Mountain to show the righteous path where he stands. Xue Hu is collecting resources everywhere to refine fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu, which countless people covet and no righteous force wants him to finish. He fought mainly to deter Northern Plains and clear his way, skipping a large-scale righteous-demonic battle and leaving the demonic path overbearing. Fang Yuan wonders when he too might dictate events rather than only follow them. ^{ch. 814}

Fairy Li Shan says they have brought what he needs. She hands over white lotus giant silkworm Gu and many star thought Gu. Fang Yuan, fearing a hostile land spirit and wary of the force investigating his background, did not want to claim Chang Fan’s now-whole, well-defended blessed land. He gave Snowy Mountain its location through Fairy Li Shan, trading the immensely valuable blessed land for the mortal Gu inside, its own Immortal Gu already self-detonated. ^{ch. 814}

Fang Yuan obtains the silkworm Gu and holds back his joy, but at more than fifty thousand star thought Gu he cannot hide it. Fairy Li Shan notices and congratulates him: he gained the most from Dong Fang tribe’s destruction, since Chang Fan’s soul carries more than a complete wisdom path inheritance, his blessed land secrets being immensely valuable too. She does not hide her envy. ^{ch. 814}

Fang Yuan does not conceal how he obtained Chang Fan’s soul. He tells Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan everything, remarking that Miniscule Mountain, recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu, is worth no less than what he took. ^{ch. 814}

Fairy Li Shan waves off the flattery: he holds Dang Hun mountain, and they both know he is the biggest winner. Smiling bitterly, she says she has come to ask a favor. ^{ch. 814}

Fairy Li Shan had broken her alliance agreement with Dong Fang tribe to fight for Miniscule Mountain, having asked someone to use a time path killer move on her that stalls the backlash before it activates. The miniman tribe were only Chang Fan’s allies, not Dong Fang tribe, yet the backlash was still severe, and Fairy Li Shan, heavily injured, was not confident she could endure it. Because the agreement was sealed to Miniscule Mountain with mountain pledge Gu, destroying the mountain voids it and cancels the backlash. Hei Lou Lan’s plan is to destroy Miniscule Mountain, wait for the stalled backlash to pass, then have Tai Bai Yun Sheng heal the mountain with Landscape as Before. They ask Fang Yuan because he leads Tai Bai Yun Sheng. ^{ch. 814}

Fang Yuan smiles and agrees it is a fine idea, willing to help, with payment to be discussed. Knowing how ruthless Fang Yuan can be, Fairy Li Shan smiles bitterly and nods. Hei Lou Lan proposes that since Fang Yuan’s Hu Immortal blessed land is about to face its earthly calamity, she stay to help defend it, as payment for Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s help. ^{ch. 814}
