Future Self

Who trains under Future Self on the stone island.

Bai Ning Bing, Hei Lou Lan, and others adapt to their future selves on the island. Under the move their battle strength climbs to first-rate or even the peak of rank seven, and that climb is already the limit of the killer move. Fang Yuan does not raise less reliable enslaved Gu Immortals with it, because a slave agreement could dissipate under Future Self’s power. ^{ch. 1680}

How Duke Long names Future Self’s origin.

After those three fight with that boost, Duke Long tells Heavenly Court that the burst comes from Future Self, created by his first disciple after that disciple used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth and lost venerable cultivation. Fairy Zi Wei notes that the Red Lotus true inheritance Spectral Soul obtained does not contain Future Self, so Fang Yuan must hold another Red Lotus true inheritance. ^{ch. 1704}

In a memory clash, Duke Long says Red Lotus has Future Self after rebirth but only rank eight cultivation, and that his current Future Self is also only rank eight, short of full Immortal Venerable battle strength. Red Lotus answers that the killer move has some flaws. ^{ch. 1717}

The stone lotus island method specially left as Future Self lets a Gu Immortal enter their peak rank seven condition in the future. In a later life Fang Yuan arrives at rank seven, so the move works on him. It forms a human-shaped phantom image in his sovereign immortal aperture, like river water shining in multicolored lights, with a matching face and a future aperture holding phantom Gu such as Fixed Immortal Travel. His Future Self is fixed at the moment before he annexed Xia Cha’s immortal aperture and rose to rank eight, when he already owned Fixed Immortal Travel, and he uses that to travel between regions. ^{ch. 1754}

On a stone lotus island, Red Lotus’ will gives Feng Jiu Ge a rank eight Future Self killer move that lets him instantly gain pseudo venerable battle strength and use his strongest future state at once, because he is the Dao Guardian of the predestined Great Dream Immortal Venerable. With that rank eight Future Self he stands among the strongest Gu Immortals in the world. ^{ch. 1965}

After the fate war, the lower streams of the River of Time become violent, Future Self loses its effect, and Bai Ning Bing’s battle strength returns to her original rank six level. ^{ch. 2006}
