Chapter 916

In Hu Immortal blessed land’s cave, lit blood red by lingzhi grown from the blood poison kerria calamity, Fang Yuan sits in his true zombie form, no longer wearing Xing Xiang Zi’s disguise. Exploring Star Constellation Immortal Venerable’s dream realm has raised both his star path and his wisdom path attainment to grandmaster level at once. Across both his lives he had reached grandmaster in only two paths before, over five hundred years: blood path from his previous life, and strength path built mainly in this one. This dream realm, explored in under half a month, gave him two more together. He judges the gain immeasurable, and could even call it worth more than Hu Immortal blessed land itself; he guesses it may trace to his use of Connect Luck. ^{ch. 916}

Wisdom Gu, a rank nine Immortal Gu, has reached an agreement with him but is not his to use beyond a low degree. Attainment levels, unlike that, belong entirely to the Gu Immortal who holds them. In his own judgment, this new dual grandmaster attainment outweighs wisdom Gu itself. ^{ch. 916}

Attainment level, he reflects, works like solving many problems of one kind: grasping the crux of enough of them lets a cultivator answer even very unfamiliar questions partway, and his own grasp of it differs because his soul comes from Earth. His earlier use of wisdom Gu was superficial and forced. With grandmaster attainment he can now try supplementary Gu worms to use wisdom Gu more efficiently. He judges he can now modify recipes he once failed on, star thought Gu, malicious thought Gu and memory thought Gu, though his one earlier success with star thought Gu had leaned on starlight Immortal Gu rather than his own skill. He is even confident he can complete the incomplete wisdom path inheritance holding memory thought Gu, reminiscence Immortal Gu and several mortal killer moves, and rework killer moves myriad self and vaguely familiar face. He now has the foundation to create a battlefield killer move himself after failing to find one, and can redesign Star Form blessed land’s construction to save an immense sum in essence stones while improving the plan itself. The same rise opens paths forward in raising hairy men, his eight sources of revenue, using Gu Immortal souls, and claiming Ge Pi blessed land. ^{ch. 916}

Half a month passes by the five regions’ count. Mo Yao’s will screams in shocked anger, demanding how his strength could have grown so much. Fang Yuan’s will now holds complete advantage over hers, which before this had been at best evenly matched with his own and is now overwhelmed using only a third of his effort. Judging that Mo Yao’s will has lost its use as a training dummy now that he has surpassed it, he withdraws his attention from the fight. ^{ch. 916}

Ten days earlier, Fang Yuan had left Hu Immortal blessed land for the Eastern Sea. He joined Shark Demon and the others to explore Yu Lu blessed land. The battlefield killer move eight doors labyrinth there, once something he thought would need the Immortal Gu, Star Thought, to dismantle, he can now unravel while multitasking, sparring with Mo Yao’s will at the same time. After tens of days pass in the blessed land’s own time, Shark Demon and the others draw close under his lead, remarking that this Xing Xiang Zi has turned suddenly fierce and wondering if this is Yu Lu blessed land’s last obstacle. With a thunderous boom, Fang Yuan unravels eight doors labyrinth completely, and Yu Lu blessed land’s true appearance stands revealed before every immortal there. ^{ch. 916}
