Chapter 863

Song Zi Xing says their plan had ten years left, but they must start early. Yu Mu Chun says plans changed since fate Immortal Gu was not completely destroyed. Fang Yuan, reborn from five hundred years ahead, does not know Fate exists; Yu Mu Chun does, and Song Zi Xing isn’t surprised. ^{ch. 863}

Yu Mu Chun mentions passing his refinement path inheritance to a hairy man junior. Usually only a Gu Master who senses death coming leaves one behind. Naming his inheritor to Song Zi Xing, who might seize it or turn on him, is unparalleled trust in a man who betrayed Myriad Dragon Dock and carries a vile reputation. ^{ch. 863}

Song Zi Xing shows no interest in seizing it. He says they should prepare. He then shows Yu Mu Chun a foal-sized blood fetus rising from the blood pool, a curled figure sleeping inside. He explains that without the complete blood deity Immortal Gu recipe he still made the fetus from remnant recipes, Northern Plains blood path technique, and blood demon body separation. ^{ch. 863}

An ordinary blood demon body separation fake body needs immortal essence and has a time limit. The body the fetus makes needs neither. It lasts at least two to three hundred years, cultivates on its own, can grow into an immortal, and looks exactly like Song Zi Xing. Song Zi Xing says his death is fine if the plan succeeds, but a failed plan needs a countermeasure: a sacrifice would still leave a second one. ^{ch. 863}

Yu Mu Chun asks to study the blood fetus. Song Zi Xing agrees, but warns the blood fetus can never leave the blood pool, not even for a moment. ^{ch. 863}

At Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Yuan’s second hole earth Gu connects to Spirit Affinity House, the first to Immortal Crane Sect. His first Spirit Affinity House transaction, airsac Gu carrying guts Gu, earns a hundred and eighty immortal essence stones, solving his shortage. From the duel with Feng Jin Huang the true gain was the cooperation, not the zombie revival technique she wagered, believing an immortal zombie could not use it, unaware of Fang Yuan’s first mortal aperture, so she failed to stump him. He converts half the stones into green grape immortal essence, ending his weakened state. ^{ch. 863}

A day later he trades with Immortal Crane Sect for a favorable sum, its attitude gentler, wary of pushing him toward Spirit Affinity House. It offers a huge price for his success dao mark, supplying the recipe and materials for a rank six Immortal Gu, but Fang Yuan evades without revealing he used it. He then buys hairy man slaves from treasure yellow heaven to replace losses. His replenished stones are gone again. Safer with green grape immortal essence, he can only replace losses, not expand, though demand outpaces his two nests. He plans a fourth stone nest; Hei Lou Lan had funded the third, and Star Form blessed land with Star Lord Wan Xiang’s Gu insect trade shortens his wait. ^{ch. 863}

A month later, using the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan fuses change form Immortal Gu into vaguely familiar face and, via a strength path grandmaster’s attainment, deduces the rank five recipe for all-out effort Gu. All-out effort Gu was the vital Gu of his immortal second aperture, remaining rank four, below his own. He sets out to refine it. After one failed attempt, it reaches rank five. ^{ch. 863}

Raising it to rank six would boost myriad self’s power enormously, inferior only to self strength Immortal Gu. This is beyond him. He then tries to deduce small family qi Gu’s recipe and fails utterly, since his qi path attainment is only ordinary, not even quasi-master. ^{ch. 863}
