Love Gu

A later telling repeats that Desolate Ancient Moon ruined love Gu’s dream at the mountain foot, and that love Gu awakened the rockman to obstruct her. After she kills the rockman and reaches the mountain waist, love Gu appears, says it will topple Cheng Bai mountain, and crashes into the stacked rocks so the mound crumbles, then leaves her among the pile. Cognition Gu calls love Gu demanding and unreasonable, and says that even cognition Gu and its child Wisdom Gu would not want to confront it. Cognition Gu also asks Desolate Ancient Moon not to name the advice, because in the face of fanatic and toyful love, wisdom and cognition can only run away. ^{ch. 547}

When Desolate Ancient Moon loses herself and Northern Dark Ice Soul cannot answer why humans live, bewilderment Gu approaches him, then love Gu and disguise Gu follow. Cognition Gu calls those Gu famous for mischief and does not want to provoke them. Love Gu tells cognition Gu it is completely unreasonable and drives it off, then uses disguise Gu to pose as cognition Gu and sends Northern Dark Ice Soul to search for a meaning Gu that does not exist. Love Gu proposes that the three Gu follow and toy with him in turns as punishment. ^{ch. 567}

When Fang Yuan studies thought, will, and emotion, narration says wills merge into emotion, lists estrus Gu and related Gu, and names Love Gu from The Legends of Ren Zu as the most famous Gu of that path. ^{ch. 570} Narration after the qi harvest fruit explosion calls love Gu wisdom path. ^{ch. 2330}

In a scene from Shadow Sect’s past, Purple tells the sect’s other immortals that Azure fell into the trap of love because Spirit Affinity House used their signature Immortal Gu, love Gu. He calls the Gu rank nine, its might nigh unstoppable. ^{ch. 1016}

A later Ren Zu stretch has love Gu approach Ren Zu while he is stalled by fear. It says it smells hope and fear from him and that both together are its food. Ren Zu will not give hope away, so love Gu stays beside him and says that with love present he can summon Courage Gu. After he calls, Courage Gu comes, lands in his heart at the aura of love and fear, and plays with Fear Gu there. ^{ch. 1175}

Love Gu is rank nine, and it is Spirit Affinity House’s signature Immortal Gu. It flies out of its resting place to the unconscious Zhao Lian Yun’s side and stays on her shoulder instead of leaving, throwing the sect into commotion. By the sect’s rule, once love Gu acknowledges someone, that person becomes the current generation fairy however disliked they are, however poor their aptitude, however badly the Gu Immortal higher-ups receive them, and whether they are male or female. ^{ch. 1222}

Spirit Affinity House’s first supreme elder confirms that Zhao Lian Yun has already received love Gu’s acknowledgment, names her the current generation fairy with her life tablet Gu already at the lowest position on the wall of past fairies, and, rather than answer her question of why, recites a chapter of The Legends of Ren Zu on the fire of love. ^{ch. 1229}

As Zhao Lian Yun begs it for help while the spaceless tunnel collapses around her, love Gu shines with an intensely bright light in her phantom aperture, as if sensing her unwavering love and determination. The light covers her completely and expands to shield the four Gu Immortals around her. A hole then opens before her, and love Gu’s force carries her and the other four Gu Immortals through it into Snowy Mountain blessed land. ^{ch. 1249}

Duke Long asks Feng Jin Huang whether she believes in fate and names the fate Gu recorded in The Legends of Ren Zu. The narration then gives a passage of that book in which Ren Zu’s self Gu has taken a bite of love Gu. Ren Zu proposes to rely on love when strength fails to break the spider silk. Self Gu lets out a gentle light, and that fails too. Fate Gu answers that love is a type of fate. It says it arranged Verdant Great Sun’s love for Desolate Ancient Moon and the rockman’s love for her, and also arranged the success and failure in their lives, so that they ended in death. ^{ch. 1619}

In a memory Duke Long recalls, his disciple Hong Ting, Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, returns to him covered in injuries and says he has found the only hope of changing fate. He relies on love Gu, an idea he took from The Legends of Ren Zu, which says that love is a type of fate. Duke Long calls it heresy and blasphemy. ^{ch. 1698}

Narration shows Red Lotus using love Immortal Gu to change a fixed result. Liu Shu Xian lives through the venerable tribulation she should have died in, and Red Lotus succeeds in the tribulation without becoming venerable. When she rebukes him for defying fate, Red Lotus kills her, saying it may return everything to its original path. In Heavenly Court, cracks spread over fate Gu in Red Lotus’s grip, and Duke Long strikes him a fatal blow. Dying, Red Lotus hands fate Gu to Duke Long. Red Lotus tells Duke Long that love Gu is able to damage Fate. ^{ch. 1964}

Kong Sheng Tian’s will inspects the Central Continent four great obscenities and says he cannot treat their problem. He traces the immortal method on them to the legendary love Gu, which belongs to Spirit Affinity House. He says it seems the person who used it on them is the current generation fairy. Though he cannot save them, he offers to suppress the problem within them for some time. ^{ch. 2099}

Narration during the fight over a wild rank nine light Gu says Giant Sun Immortal Venerable attempted to refine rank nine love Gu and failed in the end. ^{ch. 2279}

After the qi harvest fruit explosion, Zhao Lian Yun finds herself practically unharmed and asks whether love Gu protected her. Narration says love Gu is very special: even a venerable could not refine it forcefully, and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable had not been able to use it. It therefore continues to live in Zhao Lian Yun’s body. ^{ch. 2330}

Zhao Lian Yun did not refine love Gu but received its acknowledgement instead. She cannot activate it freely: sometimes she wants it to attack and it escapes with her, and if she wants it to defend, it might heal instead. Each use takes something away from her, and sometimes it takes lifespan. ^{ch. 2330}

Zhao Lian Yun reasons that love Gu is a rank nine Immortal Gu with countless effects, capable of doing almost anything. She thinks it may let her steal Ma Hong Yun’s soul from Fang Yuan’s immortal aperture, and decides to wait until Fang Yuan is at his weakest. ^{ch. 2334}
