Practice Gu

Secret Schemer says the three must keep practice Gu activated at all times, with someone carving the truthful floating ice continuously, and that they are only in charge of activating practice Gu, not controlling the wider formation. ^{ch. 2190}

When Star Constellation Immortal Venerable reaches the formation core, Pang Shan and Secret Schemer threaten to activate practice Gu and destroy the truthful floating ice, then offer to hand practice Gu over. She says controlling practice Gu was beyond her expectations after she had sealed Limitless’ will. ^{ch. 2195}

With only the last truthful floating ice left, the three eccentrics activate practice Gu together as if carving the final part. Secret Schemer tells the venerables the eternal life research results lack only half a step, and that activating practice Gu a little longer would finish the carve. ^{ch. 2206}

Limitless Demon Venerable takes out practice Gu and says this Immortal Gu was prepared for Demon Immortal Qi Jue from the start, waiting over a million years, then tosses it to him. Limitless names Qi Jue as his Dao Guardian and says only with the Dao Guardian’s help can a venerable go one step further, break past the venerable realm, and attain eternal life. Qi Jue activates practice Gu; its light envelops Limitless’ body while Qi Jue weakens until he must stop. ^{ch. 2208}

When Limitless says he failed, Qi Jue activates practice Gu again with all his strength, sending profound light that extinguishes black fire on Limitless’ body. Limitless tells him to stop; Qi Jue vanishes as chaos sweeps him away because of their close connection. ^{ch. 2209}
