Information Path

Information path specializes in agreements. The novel compares those agreements to locks that restrict both parties. Fairy Li Shan had cultivated earth path in the past, then cultivated information path mainly alongside wood path. She holds mountain pledge Immortal Gu, and Fang Yuan judges her information path attainment higher than his own. He treats her as a locksmith skilled at making locks and therefore skilled at opening them, and he often asks her for information path methods while trying to learn the path himself. With low information path attainment he makes little short-term progress, even while her letters and counsel clarify the fight between Zombie Alliance and Snowy Mountain blessed land. ^{ch. 940}

Fairy Li Shan is an information path quasi-great grandmaster. Even while restricted by Snowy Mountain’s alliance agreement, she can skirt those restrictions to aid Blazing Heaven Demoness and suffer only mild injuries from the violation. After Old Ancestor Xue Hu expels her, Zombie Alliance welcomes her; her relationship with Blazing Heaven Demoness and her role in forcing Old Ancestor Xue Hu to give in earn her respect among the immortal zombies in Dark Flow Giant City. ^{ch. 950}
