Derivation Gu is a legendary Gu named at the end of The Legends of Ren Zu, where Ren Zu and his ten children enter its stomach and its burst creates the first mortals.
Tie Ruo Nan retells the ending while arguing about ten extreme physiques: Ren Zu’s ten children die one by one, Ren Zu nears death by old age, gathers their corpses, and sacrifices himself with them into Derivation Gu. Its stomach bursts, spreading life across the land and creating the first batch of mortals, who lack Ren Zu and the ten children’s talent but can cultivate after awakening an aperture. She labels that account a mythological story. ch. 181
Appearance
In The Legends of Ren Zu, Ren Zu and the corpses of his ten children enter Derivation Gu’s stomach, and its stomach bursts. ch. 181
Dream realm detail
A later reading of The Legends of Ren Zu restates Ren Zu retrieving his ten children’s corpses and sacrificing himself into derivation Gu’s stomach. Large amounts of dream realms follow the smell of the food into its mouth as well. Its stomach bursts, and light of life creates the first batch of mortals. ch. 730
Refinement and concealment
Chu Du states that Limitless Demon Venerable refined the legendary derivation Gu, hid inside Crazed Demon Cave in his later years, and ran experiments and Gu refinements on it while pursuing eternal life. Not Immortal’s will confirms that derivation Gu sits at the deepest layer, surrounded by a huge super Gu formation. ch. 1176
Not Immortal answers Fang Yuan’s guess that Limitless meant to remake humanity: Ren Zu’s creation of humanity is an unparalleled human path method, while Limitless cultivated rule path and wanted to use derivation Gu to derive new dao marks as clues toward eternal life. The Three Crazed Demon Eccentrics aim to reach the formation’s core, control derivation Gu, and make the formation work for them. ch. 1176
Fang Yuan later calls derivation Gu a rank nine Immortal Gu and judges that even obtaining it would be a huge burden, comparing that problem to Wisdom Gu. He also notes it remains at the bottom layer under the Eccentrics’ guard. ch. 1189 Still later he wonders whether prior venerables went on to the ninth layer, and if they did, why they did not destroy the formation and take away the rank nine derivation Gu. ch. 1867 During the later fight he wonders whether the derivation Gu from The Legends of Ren Zu and Limitless Demon Venerable’s study of eternal life sit at the center of the orbiting rank nine formation. ch. 2187
Star Constellation’s retrieval
Star Constellation Immortal Venerable names rank nine derivation Immortal Gu as hers and plans to use it for human path development. ch. 2246 After the battle in Crazed Demon Cave she takes a piece of truthful floating ice that contains derivation Gu, uses Heavenly Court’s heaven path research to unseal it, and retrieves the Gu. She then makes rank nine derivation Immortal Gu the main core of a derivation formation meant to develop human path. It is a legendary Immortal Gu first recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu, once obtained by Limitless Demon Venerable and used as the core of his Crazed Demon formation. ch. 2274
