Chapter 818

Fang Yuan reflects on this inheritance’s worth. It exceeds even the blood path inheritance he obtained in his previous life. Gaining it earlier, in either life, would have made him a Gu Immortal long ago, he sighs. ^{ch. 818}

In Eastern Sea’s Yu Lu blessed land, Zombie Alliance’s Gu Immortals are trapped in a drizzling fog, searching for a way out. Shark Demon, leading the group, shouts a warning not to let the rain touch them, recognizing the harmless-seeming drizzle as an attack. Every defense they raise fails. ^{ch. 818}

The group identifies it as a killer move by Fairy Yu Lu. She is Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s second disciple, a rank eight great expert famous for this vanishing immortal essence dissipation rain. Su Bai Man names the cause: raindrop equity hit them in the previous round, so this round their defenses fail and they can only let the rain touch them. ^{ch. 818}

This is not the first attempt on Yu Lu blessed land, whose many interlocking rounds are each very difficult. Five of the group’s seven Gu Immortals are immortal zombies. Their dead apertures cannot produce immortal essence, so they must convert it from immortal essence stones, making their supply pricier. ^{ch. 818}

An hour passes with no progress, essence steadily melting. The battlefield killer move has no attacking power, but its huge range drains them dry with the rain, and it is Fairy Yu Lu’s own creation, unrecorded in history. Shark Demon demands to know why Bo Dan, the group’s wisdom path Gu Immortal, has not yet found the flaw. Bo Dan admits he cannot: the move is too profound, surpassing the previous one by a huge margin, and his incomplete inheritance gives him no way through. ^{ch. 818}

Bo Dan is a living Gu Immortal, and living Gu Immortals usually rank below immortal zombies. Shark Demon decides their only choice is to force a path with Profound Ice House. The others brighten: he brought it on this trip. ^{ch. 818}

Zombie Alliance owns three Immortal Gu Houses, only one complete. Even an incomplete one can be forced into great power. Shark Demon, a rank seven Gu Immortal, has entered Yu Lu blessed land many times. Urged by his wife Su Bai Man, he paid a huge price to borrow Profound Ice House. ^{ch. 818}

Shark Demon takes out Profound Ice House. He leads the group inside, to a huge space of cold white and golden light. He orders everyone to expend immortal essence, though the cost will likely exceed the rain’s. ^{ch. 818}

The house bursts from the sea’s calm surface as a huge icy meteor: the rank six, incomplete Profound Ice House. Shark Demon, dejected, calls the group out; Yu Lu blessed land remains hidden underwater. Even Profound Ice House cannot break through the killer move, only helping them retreat, so the round stays unsolved. ^{ch. 818}

Shark Demon laments gaining nothing from the trip. He will owe Zombie Alliance a huge sum in contribution points. Tai Bai Yun Sheng points out that even the Immortal Gu House could not defend against the dissipation rain. ^{ch. 818}

Shark Demon explains that Profound Ice House mainly serves ice path cultivation, that this one is extremely damaged and barely usable, and that a complete version could have defended them from inside. He declares the trip over. The group disperses, but Tai Bai Yun Sheng lingers behind. ^{ch. 818}

Su Bai Man asks if something is wrong. Tai Bai Yun Sheng notes that both know him for a Northern Plains Gu Immortal. He has no concealment method like Old Lord Can Yang’s, so that identity was exposed long ago. The immortal zombie couple treat him with extreme courtesy because of the man as before Immortal Gu he holds. ^{ch. 818}

Periodically, a boundless force rises from Eastern Sea’s floor, a power exceeding even rank eight Gu Immortals, stirring giant tsunamis. This earth tide collides with the regional walls and weakens them. ^{ch. 818}
