Chapter 951

Fang Yuan returns to Hu Immortal blessed land. Blazing Heaven Demoness’s compensation proves very satisfactory. She waives the immortal materials she had funded him, lends him three fire path Immortal Gu, and gives him many mortal Gu, together enough to form the fire path immortal killer move Nirvana Fire. Under their alliance agreement he also learns which Immortal Gu serve as its cores, how many mortal Gu it needs, and their order. She has concealed one prerequisite as a small trap to deepen her hold on him. Activating Nirvana Fire expends fire path dao marks from the user’s own body, and since Fang Yuan has none, reviving with it would need her to use it for him. ^{ch. 951}

Fang Yuan resolves instead to modify Nirvana Fire around Immortal Gu he already owns. The change is very difficult, but Fang Yuan has high hopes, since the rank nine wisdom Gu inside Hu Immortal blessed land is simply brilliant. It matters greatly to him: the life-and-death revival method can only be used once on each immortal aperture, and reviving through it would cost him wisdom Gu’s help for good. A modified Nirvana Fire, letting him switch between zombie and living states, would instead keep wisdom Gu assisting him in unimaginable ways. ^{ch. 951}

Fang Yuan already holds enough strength path immortal zombies, exert strength Gu, and a sixty year lifespan Gu to revive through the life-and-death method now. But obtaining Nirvana Fire leaves him no longer satisfied with just that. He remains uncertain whether he has come out ahead overall. ^{ch. 951}

Meanwhile Zhao Lian Yun has already entered Luo Po Valley as the one hope of rescuing Feng Jiu Ge. Only Prince Feng Xian accompanies her, his rank eight cultivation able to face any challenge. Openly a Northern Plains righteous path Gu Immortal and an external supreme elder of Gong tribe, he is secretly Spirit Affinity House’s highest level spy, sent there at huge effort and price, tasked with Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Feng Jiu Ge’s survival is worth the risk of exposing him. His life and death would tilt the balance among Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects and even change its whole Gu Immortal world. Zhao Lian Yun asks whether saving him would make her the sect’s next fairy. Prince Feng Xian answers that it would almost guarantee it, since he has heard Feng Jiu Ge’s daughter Feng Jin Huang, the top competitor, would surely step down for her father’s savior. ^{ch. 951}

Zhao Lian Yun has stayed very cooperative since arriving at the sect. She needs Spirit Affinity House to save Ma Hong Yun, but getting the sect to attack Snowy Mountain is unrealistic. Every fairy of the sect is nurtured into a Gu Immortal of immense strength and authority, so she resolves to rely on herself. Using an Immortal Gu from Spirit Affinity House, Prince Feng Xian locates the Thieving Heaven inheritance inside the valley and opens an entrance of light. An intense wind bursts out at once. Shocked that the winds of assimilation are here, he condenses them into a ball, but his hand soon trembles and his face pales, and he can hold them only a moment before sending Zhao Lian Yun in alone. ^{ch. 951}

Inside, she finds an empty space holding over a dozen slow-moving tornadoes of the winds. A voice, extremely weak, names itself Feng Jiu Ge and calls her closer. It tells her the winds are harmless to an otherworldly demon accepted by Thieving Heaven’s will, and warns that while he remains there she cannot inherit it. Zhao Lian Yun places her trembling hand into a tornado, its power so concentrated she feels only a light breeze, and it shrinks and vanishes within a few breaths, just as he promised. ^{ch. 951}

Overjoyed, she charges through the rest, the winds dissolving wherever she goes. The largest pillar disperses to reveal him sitting cross-legged, his face rosy, his eyes shut. He opens his eyes, then his right hand, showing her two words written in blood on his palm without a word. He smiles at her, and his body scatters on the wind and vanishes on the spot. The greatest genius of a generation, Feng Jiu Ge, has passed away. ^{ch. 951}
