Moment Stage

When five Immortal Gu Houses chase Myriad Year Flying Warship, Bai Ning Bing and the rest do not recognize Heavenly Court’s Moment Stage. To construct this time path Immortal Gu House, Fairy Zi Wei had taken out the core Immortal Gu of Million Heavenly King Gallery in Heavenly Court. Moment Stage is a rank eight Immortal Gu House, and rank eight time path Gu Immortal Gu Liu Ru is inside it. As Myriad Year Flying Warship fights Moment Stage, the other four rank seven Immortal Gu Houses keep pressing, and Bai Ning Bing’s side can only fight while moving away. ^{ch. 1833}

Four Immortal Gu Houses fly above the River of Time toward a stone lotus island. Moment Stage is rank eight and has a ring of stone stairs around the outside that spirals upward to a red tiled pavilion at the top. Eternal Yacht is the first to discover the stone lotus island; the Gu Immortals within it quickly inform Heavenly Court, which sends the other four Immortal Gu Houses to join up with it. After the four houses stop nearby, where Eternal Yacht is already waiting above the island, Gu Liu Ru is within Moment Stage; he orders the river suppression lotus sealing formation set up, leads Moment Stage himself, assigns Feng Jiu Ge to lead Present and Past Pavilion, sends Eternal Yacht to a tributary entrance for reinforcements, and sets Shark Flow Lever and Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform to patrol. ^{ch. 1881}

Gu Liu Ru and Feng Jiu Ge stay stationed in Moment Stage and Present and Past Pavilion while the formation is still incomplete. When Myriad Year Flying Warship uses torrential charge against that unfinished formation, Moment Stage blocks it, and the two rank eight Immortal Gu Houses collide. Moment Stage has a slight disadvantage while the warship’s advancement is halted. Shark Flow Lever and Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform, which have caught up, then stall the warship. ^{ch. 1882}

Heavenly Court gathers Moment Stage with Present and Past Pavilion, Three Autumn Yellow Crane Platform, Eternal Yacht, Shark Flow Lever, and Sun and Moon Temple around Myriad Year Flying Warship, surrounding it completely. Eternal Yacht and Shark Flow Lever then leave the battlefield. Over at Heavenly Court’s four Immortal Gu Houses, Moment Stage is in front; as a rank eight Immortal Gu House with the time path great expert Gu Liu Ru stationed in it, it is not inferior to Myriad Year Flying Warship. When a grey stone giant on the stone lotus island throws a huge silver ball of gathered time path dao marks, Gu Liu Ru forces Moment Stage into the ball’s path; the house flies aside like a house in a typhoon, then stops filled with cracks, with countless mortal Gu dead and many Immortal Gu injured. A second ball devastates the front of Moment Stage, and tiles and bricks fly off as Gu worm corpses. Gu Liu Ru judges that for now he can only block by sacrificing Moment Stage in order to protect the river suppression lotus sealing formation. The house’s signature method moves it from one location to another in a moment’s time by compressing its time into a moment, and a longer distance takes several moments. Gu Liu Ru later leaves Moment Stage to help encircle the warship. After the grey stone giant’s fist crumbles Present and Past Pavilion, Moment Stage teleports over at the crucial moment and takes in Feng Jiu Ge. ^{ch. 1883}

After Fang Yuan dismantles six Immortal Gu Houses from that River of Time battle, the two time path cores of Moment Stage, Instant and That Time, are among the Immortal Gu he keeps. Across that haul most are rank seven, and some are rank eight. ^{ch. 1905}
