Chapter 64: Heaven Will Always Leave A Path
"But there is something I don't understand." Fang Yuan asked.
"Oh, what is that?"
"Earlier, I lost fixed immortal travel Immortal Gu to a six fingered formless hand. I know that Fixed Immortal Travel is an Immortal Gu that you really wanted to get rid of, because it affected your plans too much. But how were you so sure that the six fingered formless hand would take away Fixed Immortal Travel, and not other Immortal Gu, least of all Spring Autumn Cicada?"
Mo Yao's will laughed bitterly: "Lad, I am only a will left behind by the main body for ten thousand years, do you really think I can control the entire situation? Back then, the situation was so chaotic, and at the moment when the formless hand grabbed you, I hesitated, afraid to show Water Pavilion as it would attract your suspicion."
"But next, after it took Fixed Immortal Travel, I was overjoyed, I quickly interfered with your thoughts, causing you to help Tai Bai Yun Sheng. This delayed some time, and you lost Fixed Immortal Travel."
Fang Yuan stared blankly: "Your luck is very good."
Mo Yao shook her head, bitterly smiling: "Back then, I sneaked into True Yang Building and wanted to get my hands on fortune rivalling heaven Gu, releasing it in the end. Since then, my luck had been terrible.
Later, when I blocked the seven fingered formless hand for you, my intention was to sacrifice the rank seven calamity beckoning Gu in Water Pavilion, what a pity that the formless hand took the core, water harmony Immortal Gu!"
"If your Spring Autumn Cicada had a mortal's consciousness, I would've struck long ago. Unfortunately, your Gu Immortal will is still inside, and I did not dare to act rashly, only influencing you secretly."
"When I lurked in your mind, I had been paying attention to your thoughts and had been attempting to read your memories. But after fighting with Giant Sun's will, I could not split up, all of my will was used to manipulate Water Pavilion to protect your life. Otherwise, I would have noticed when you sensed something amiss.
In fact, I would have interfered with your thoughts and made you dismiss this problem."
"Moreover, I had little immortal essence left, most of it was used to create wills. Your tactic of consuming it was very effective, but if I had five or six more beads of red date immortal essence, the situation would have been very different."
Fang Yuan nodded: "Sigh, actually, this was not a fair fight. A will alone cannot think as deeply as the main body. Especially when wills have their specialties and would act on those traits. A will is just a will, it cannot replace the main body. If your main body was dealing with me, I would've lost long ago. Fairy Mo Yao, you truly live up to your name!
With just a will that you left behind, you could reach this stage."
He continued to sigh: "Your plan was really too difficult, it is like walking on a tightrope, you had to be careful of the balance of the situation at all times. If when you schemed against me was prior to now, there was a chance I would have continued being fooled by you.
Unfortunately, right before coming to northern plains, I made a similar mistake, and my decree in life is to never commit the same mistake twice!"
Saying so, the image of a young woman dressed in white appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
"Actually, it is also thanks to wisdom Gu's help. Even without using it personally, just by the light halo that it emitted, my thoughts became extremely sharp and I understood many things, thus being able to expose your scheme. As expected of a rank nine Immortal Gu. Hmm, after talking this much, I have a question to ask you, what type of will are you?"
Mo Yao chuckled: "I might as well tell you now. Since you already know my methods, you'll get the answer sooner or later. In fact, under such circumstances, it is already too late even if you discover my true motive. There is no doubt you will need to use Spring Autumn Cicada to self-detonate! My will is called fake will.
Fake and true, truth and lies, fake will can disguise as a person's thoughts and collide with other thoughts, changing the results of their thinking and influencing a person's decisions and actions."
Fang Yuan replied: "No wonder I could not find where you were lurking when I checked in my mind. You were disguised as part of my thoughts! But you are wrong on one thing, I will not use Spring Autumn Cicada."
"Are you sure? Hehehe." Mo Yao's will laughed: "Six arm heavenly zombie king was a killer move that I perfected with you. I purposely gave an incorrect estimation and caused your body to turn into a zombie, you no longer have any way to progress. At this point, you have no future. I have been around you for so long, I understand you well, you have no trump cards left."
"Right now, the wind veil of assimilation is closing in, and you have already lost Fixed Immortal Travel, do you think you can open a stargate here? Don't be unrealistic! You will be attacked by everyone, even though you purposely acted weaker, your real battle strength is still inferior to Giant Sun's will. After all, this is not the true inheritance secluded domain.
Inside the true inheritance secluded domain, wills and thoughts are suppressed. As for worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, I am not going to lend it to you anymore."
"Moreover, other than Giant Sun's will, you still have a huge threat here, that is Hei Lou Lan with the Great Strength True Martial Physique! Rank five peak stage, hehe, think about the force of his self-detonation! Right now, you are only holding on because of the light of wisdom. Hahaha, with so many strong foes, you are at your wits end!"
Mo Yao's will laughed for a while before her tone became calmer: "You refuse to use Spring Autumn Cicada because you are wary of your black coffin luck. You do not have to be so nervous. Spring Autumn Cicada's drawback is that it will cause its owner's luck to become progressively worse. Back then, Red Lotus Demon Venerable was a victim of this.
Luck is really strong and influential, no doubt, but it cannot decide everything, it depends on who is facing it. You had so much bad luck, yet with your strength and wisdom, you still managed to get this far.
Ma Hong Yun had so much good luck, yet he could not grasp it well, even though he escaped from this place, he would surely fall into the hands of northern plains' Gu Immortals and become a captive."
Fang Yuan snickered: "You've schemed for this long, I'm sure you've made ample preparations, you have the confidence of certain victory. A contest of wills is not my forte, if I self-detonate, that is using my weakness to fight my enemy's strength, how can I be so stupid?"
Mo Yao also laughed: "To think that you'd have such a timid side. It is a pity, but you are not entirely right. I do intend on using the Spring Autumn Cicada, but it is impossible with your foundation to travel ten thousand years back in time. I plan to find Red Lotus Demon Venerable's inheritance when travelling upstream in the river of time.
Using the power of the inheritance, I would go back to travelling against the current, ten thousand years into the past. Hehehe, don't you want to see what Red Lotus Demon Venerable's inheritance looks like?"
Fang Yuan gave no response, he was silent.
Outside, Giant Sun's will finally counted down from "ten" to "one".
"It seems you are still very stubborn, you want to resist to the end!" Seeing that Fang Yuan did not surrender, Giant Sun's will said this in a deep and low tone.
"Oh no, the wind veil of assimilation is already within a hundred steps of us! Ancestor Giant Sun, what will we do?" Someone said in shock.
Wisdom Gu was maintaining a halo of light to protect itself, the Gu Masters were all standing near its edge and outside of it, only Fang Yuan was inside. As the wind veil of assimilation grew closer, it shrunk the space that was inside and in just a short period of time, the wind veil would reach the surface of the light halo.
"Hei Lou Lan, I am giving you this strength path Immortal Gu, release your dark limit seal and display the true might of one of the ten extreme physiques. Your Great Strength True Martial Physique has the highest recovery speed in the world, it greatly surpasses the other nine extreme physiques.
Don't worry, even if you self-detonate, I have my ways to save you." Giant Sun's will said, handing Hei Lou Lan a strength path Immortal Gu.
Obtaining the Immortal Gu that he had been dreaming of, Hei Lou Lan was unable to conceal his excitement: "Thank you lord ancestor!!"
Giant Sun's will raised the morale: "This scoundrel has committed many evil deeds, you will all be great heroes renowned in northern plains after eliminating him! Your act of bringing peace to the people will make sure you are well respected wherever you go."
"We know that being basked in the light of wisdom would reduce lifespan. But in this situation, if we continue delaying it, we will be killed by the wind veil of assimilation. How can losing a bit of lifespan compare to death?"
"Furthermore, you just need to restrain him, I will strike and deal the finishing blow!"
Giant Sun's will had incomparable reputation, he was left behind by the old ancestor, under benefits and reputation, forced by the situation, everyone summoned their courage and looked at Fang Yuan, ready to strike.
The atmosphere was getting more solemn, the battle was going to commence.
But right at this moment, there was another surprising twist.
Wisdom Gu suddenly stopped sending out the light of wisdom, and flew into the sea of Gu worms.
Earlier, it had displayed its rank nine aura at full force, but now it had completely concealed itself, hiding with the Gu worm group, it quickly vanished.
Everyone was shocked.
Giant Sun's will was the first to react, laughing heartily: "Excellent! This wisdom Gu's wild will is a newborn, it is still very immature. Earlier, it created the halo to prevent other lifeforms from getting near it, but now that it sensed the battle was near, in order to avoid getting dragged into this, it escaped first!"
Without wisdom Gu's halo causing trouble, Giant Sun's will could enter battle directly.
Giant Sun's will was ready to strike.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Fang Yuan broke the silence, he raised his head and laughed. His laughter boomed over the surroundings, giving off a wild aura, he suppressed all other voices.
Hei Lou Lan took a big step forward, his body was like a bear, he stared with his eyes opened wide: "Demon, committing evil acts will lead to your own doom, you have no way out but death!"
"Fang Yuan, I had already given you your only chance of surrender, but you did not grab onto it. Now, there is no way out for you anymore." Giant Sun's will shouted resolutely.
Mo Yao's will also said: "Lad, no need to continue acting secretive. Your fake imposing aura cannot stop them. Don't you want to see Red Lotus Demon Venerable's secret inheritance ground? The battle is going to commence, if your mind becomes muddled against Giant Sun's will, I will not be able to save you again. Give up, this is a dead end, there is no way out! Quickly use the Spring Autumn Cicada!"
Fang Yuan's laughter ended, his voice was coarse: "Isn't there a saying, heaven will always leave a path for you, as long as I want to walk, there will be a road for me to step on!"
Everyone was shocked, these words were very familiar, thinking about it, they realized it was from <
Everyone heard Fang Yuan and reacted, flying into a rage.
"Hehehe, how dare you compare yourself to Ren Zu? Go ahead and walk, let me see what road you can walk on?"
Everyone lost their patience, they shouted as they charged towards Fang Yuan.
Guh.
At this moment, Hei Lou Lan suddenly showed a pained expression, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Good timing." Fang Yuan smiled, showing an eerie aura.
He raised his remaining hand as he punched directly.
Bam.
With a loud explosion, fist qi burst out as a strength path phantom materialized in the air.
