Chapter 41: Don't Collapse !
Fang Yuan stood above Di Qiu, slowly opening his eyes.
Fang Yuan turned his gaze towards the sacred palace, although he was far away, he could see the dazzling aurora in the sky.
The sacred palace was shining in bright light once again, it was a beautiful sight — and also the sign that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was going to materialize the second floor.
Fang Yuan: Just like my previous life Hei Lou Lan has opened Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to the public. It's time to meet Mo Yao now.
Fang Yuan's gaze shone as he smiled, without hesitation, he struck.
"Go." He patted his belly, and thirty-six Gu worms flew out of his aperture.
As Fang Yuan willed, these little light Gu flew into Di Qiu's cave. At once, the darkness in the cave was lifted.
Fang Yuan summoned another thirteen light fences Gu.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly, he waved his hand and three rank five light path Gu came out.
The motionless Di Qiu finally had some changes.
As if a mechanism was unlocked, the ground and soil around Di Qiu started to expand and connect.
With some loud sounds, the cave entrance slowly closed. In the deep parts of the land, three lights were mixing together, engaging in a mysterious transformation that Fang Yuan could not describe.
About an hour later, the sounds from under the ground became softer.
The hole in the ground slowly opened, as the light was gone, leaving pure darkness inside.
At this moment, in the sacred palace.
At a side hall, the secret door concealed by trees opened.
An elderly man with snow-white hair walked out with a middle aged Gu Master.
"Old sir, please take care." First elder Hei Pei brought Tai Bai Yun Sheng out from the secret door and patted his chest: "Don't worry, with me here, you are sure to have a guest token!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed: "Since elder Hei Pei is making a promise, I am sure it will succeed. Of course I am assured, you do not have to send me off, goodbye."
"Goodbye." First elder Hei Pei placed his fist by his chest as he bowed, seeing Tai Bai Yun Sheng turn around the corner and vanishing from his vision under the concealment of the trees.
"The allure of an Immortal Venerable inheritance is really huge, to think that even Tai Bai Yun Sheng came to bribe me." Hei Pei sighed.
Hei Pei had not expected Tai Bai Yun Sheng to bribe him of all people.
"In the end, Old Sir Tai Bai is still a mortal. There are only so many guest tokens, if it was me, I would not be able to resist it either." Hei Pei laughed, raising his head subconsciously towards the top of the sacred palace.
"In no time, the second layer will materialize." Not far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng raised his head and looked.
But just at this moment the whole sacred palace fell into shock and fear.
After a while, a large commotion suddenly rose up.
"This… what the hell is going on?!"
"What happened, why is the aurora shrinking?"
The second floor that had been gradually condensing into form was slowly becoming fainter. Great amounts of the thick aurora were reducing and becoming lighter at a visible speed.
"What happened?!" Hei Lou Lan's brows furrowed into a knot as he grabbed elder Hei Pei's collar with his thick arm and pulled towards him.
His expression was twisted and his eyes opened with fury as he shouted: "Investigate it! I must know what the hell happened!"
Elder Hei Pei's body shivered in fright, Hei Lou Lan asked him to investigate the details, but he was only a mortal, how could he investigate it? What could he investigate? In a sobbing tone, he answered: "This… this subordinate does not know, there were no instances of this happening in historical records…"
"It is getting lighter, it is becoming even more light!" Someone shouted while pointing at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
The aurora became smaller, and the thick light, dimmer.
From far away, Fang Yuan looked with an eerie gaze and a cold smile on his face.
Even if he was far away, the panicked shouts in the sacred palace still reached his ears.
Right now, the cave was filled to the brim with light, almost to the point of overflowing, but it was firmly restrained by the layer of black light at the entrance.
Crack...
Cracks started appearing on the first floor of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Hei Pei and the other elders went pale as they looked at this scene in a daze.
Even if Hei Lou Lan was a rank five Gu Master with an extreme physique, an existence at the peak of mortals, right now he was feeling bewilderment, helplessness, hesitation and weakness!
"No, this can't go on! I cannot allow this to happen!!" Hei Lou Lan shouted in fury, his expression malevolent and his gaze filled with hot fury.
'I have yet to avenge mother! My vengeance! My strength path Immortal Gu!' He screamed in his heart.
Rumble.
A soft sound was heard, but the earth shook!
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's first floor, which was completely condensed, collapsed completely and turned back into the free aurora light.
Hei Lou Lan's gaze lost its focus as suffocation filled his stomach, he involuntarily spurted out stagnated blood that had flowed in reverse towards his throat.
"No! I won't allow this! Form back right now! Come back!" He opened up his palms and tried to grab the aurora.
And as if it was responding to his effort, the aurora that were gushing out gradually reduced and the surrounding lights also started falling back.
Hei Lou Lan's gaze flashed, a spark of hope had just ignited in him, but was completely gone the next moment.
The aurora light might have gathered back together, but it did not condense back to the image of the first floor. The light continue to reduce as if a giant incorporeal beast was swallowing it.
"No, don't…" Far away, Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled, his expression becoming spiritless.
"Do the heavens want my Hei tribe dead?" First elder Hei Pei clutched his hair.
Fang Yuan made his move, throwing in large numbers of Gu worms.
After the Gu worms sprinkled down, the aurora slowly changed color into that of blue water or the sky, before becoming still.
He quickly moved his gaze towards the sacred palace.
The clamors in the sacred palace had already decreased. After the aurora light enshrouding the sacred palace decreased by around half, the speed of its reduction slowed.
Seeing that no one was paying attention here and the scattered wolf groups were also not sending any battle signals, Fang Yuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everything is going smoothly, it should be the final step now." He was extremely cautious and did not even have the slightest intent of being conceited, instead he was even more vigilant.
Fang Yuan slightly flicked his wrist and and a smelly fart Gu that he had been holding lightly flew into the cave.
Immediately a peculiar fragrance spread out of the cave.
The peculiar fragrance flew even without wind, soon spreading out.
"Stopped, it has stopped!" After a while of shock and fear, the Gu Masters in the sacred palace became wild with joy.
"Lord, the aurora has stopped reducing and has begun to slowly increase again!" A Hei tribe elder shouted excitedly, and was kicked by Hei Lou Lan.
"I can see that!" Hei Lou Lan kicked the elder to the ground, his gaze was ruthless but the deep voice could not conceal his joy.
However, his heart was extremely nervous.
The reduction of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building's aurora and even the collapse of the floor had never happened before.
What had happened?
Hei Lou Lan's mind was filled with doubts.
He did not know why there was a problem, it caused him to worry greatly. What made Hei Lou Lan even more helpless and indignant was that Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the work of an Immortal Venerable —"even if I knew where the problem was, I probably would not be able to solve it with just my ability…"
If he was to know that it was all caused by Fang Yuan single-handedly, then he would probably risk his life and tear off the seal placed on him by Immortal Gu Dark Limit, to pit his life against Fang Yuan.
