Life-burial Jade Gu is a life-retaining Gu Lord Sky Crane uses to live through death, fall into a deep sleep, and hang onto life without gaining lifespan.
On Qing Mao Mountain, Lord Sky Crane taunts First gen Gu Yue with the Kinship Bloodworm, then says that when he was almost dying he could only use the life-retaining Jade Burial Gu and seal himself. With Immortal Crane Sect help he used the life-preserving Jade Burial Gu, falling into a deep sleep and preserving his last bit of life. That method and First gen Gu Yue’s zombie turn are both unorthodox desperate measures. Life-preserving life burial hangs onto life but does not increase lifespan. ch. 192
Jade coffin effect
Pressed under Bai Ning Bing’s ice and spent from killing First gen Gu Yue, Lord Sky Crane activates Life-retaining Jade Burial Gu. Green jade light covers him and hardens into a transparent jade coffin Bai Ning Bing cannot scratch, so he buries the coffin under more ice. Two days later a jade light bursts out of the ice, hovers in the air and becomes a jade coffin. The coffin explodes, and Lord Sky Crane is free. Life-retaining Jade Burial Gu is a rank five Gu: if the Gu Master still has one breath of life, it can suspend life and delay injuries, and the jade coffin is strong enough to count as a defensive weapon. ch. 199
Name form and limit
A wall recording at Immortal Crane Sect shows that after Bai Ning Bing’s self-detonation suppressed him, Lord Sky Crane was forced to use the Life-burial Jade Gu, broke out of the ice, and found only Fang Zheng under it. Reporting to He Feng Yang, he says his lifespan is at its limit with only a few days left, and even the life-burial jade gu cannot change his fate. Narration says only a lifespan Gu would solve the root problem. The sect’s few lifespan Gu are not for him; its leader and some supreme elders hold them. ch. 211
