Chapter 903

Fang Yuan is unworried about Gu Yue Fang Zheng, since eating still means the will to live, and changing his mind will take time. He inspects Dong Fang Chang Fan’s soul, one of four he holds along with Zheng Ling’s, Xue Song Zi’s and Yao Ge Pi’s. It is the one he wants most. He has spent recent days searching all four souls. ^{ch. 903}

The soul notices his searches keep circling memories of dismantling battlefield killer moves and guesses he faces an inheritance or a foe that demands one. Fang Yuan admits it. The soul then offers outright help: given a body, its higher wisdom path attainment could deduce for him, restrained by information path methods if he wishes. Fang Yuan refuses, telling it that even reduced to a soul it has not given up, so it needs a harsher lesson. He tortures it with Gu worms for two hours, since pain in the soul cuts deeper than pain in the body. ^{ch. 903}

From Xue Song Zi’s and Zheng Ling’s souls, Fang Yuan gains reference methods for battlefield killer moves. Neither cultivated wisdom path in life. Xue Song Zi’s soul reveals a fortune hidden in Snowy Mountain blessed land that Fang Yuan dares not take. He cannot tell Fairy Li Shan that he killed Xue Song Zi, since her Snowy Mountain alliance would force her to report it to the unfathomable Old Ancestor Xue Hu. Zheng Ling’s soul yields a complete wind path inheritance, the immortal killer move heavenly wish, and word of Sacred Feather City, an Immortal Gu House, and the feathermen’s green heaven fragment world. That world is huge and resource rich, but White Sea Shatuo and other Gu Immortals hold it, so Fang Yuan will not lightly risk entering. ^{ch. 903}

Word from Tai Bai Yun Sheng brings Fang Yuan to Shark Demon’s group as Xing Xiang Zi. As he protests bitterly, tiny explosions destroy hundreds of his defensive mortal Gu. A golden robed Gu Immortal names Eastern Sea’s three best wisdom path experts, Song Jia Dan above Hua An and Dragon Head Tortoise, and says Song Jia Dan’s fusion into Eastern Sea lets him deduce accurately anywhere within it. The Gu self-detonated the moment Fang Yuan entered Eastern Sea, showing Song Jia Dan’s skill. ^{ch. 903}

Shark Demon introduces the rest. Ninth Ghost Finger, a demonic path Gu Immortal, cultivates soul path mainly and wisdom path on the side. Xie Shu Fang, called Master Xie, cultivates wisdom path. Big Bag Lu Tan Xin cultivates space path with wisdom path attainment. Xie Shu Fang tells Fang Yuan coldly that meeting him is her misfortune, warns he cannot escape Song clan for long, and tells him to surrender rather than obstruct their Yu Lu blessed land invasion. Her rudeness worries the others more over the risk of insult than for her sake; Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s face turns grim, while Bo Dan is secretly pleased. Fang Yuan, guessing her righteous path, answers mildly and asks Shark Demon’s help joining Zombie Alliance instead, startling her. ^{ch. 903}

Shark Demon laughs and promises smooth entry and his backing against Song clan, so long as Fang Yuan did not defile Song Yi Shi. Fang Yuan explains, with feigned bitterness, that he had glimpsed Fairy Yi Shi bathing at a volcano’s bottom, the cause of the crisis. Bo Dan’s expression darkens at the story. ^{ch. 903}

Shark Demon leads the group to break the fighting soul battlefield in Yu Lu blessed land. A sandstorm charges soul beasts at them without stopping. Fang Yuan, Bo Dan and the others begin deducing at once, already knowing from earlier probing that the difficulty is not traps but the immense time needed to find every hidden Gu worm. Ancient soul beasts form in seven minutes, making it best to dismantle the battlefield before then. ^{ch. 903}
