Chapter 75: Strength Qi Immortal Gu
At the same time, Hei Cheng and Fairy Li Shan had engaged in intense battle.
The battle of the two had reached the climax right from the start.
The battle continued until Hei Cheng sneak attacked Fairy Li Shan using Dark arrow Immortal Gu, piercing her skull.
But the next moment Tai Bai Yun Sheng used Man as Before Immortal Gu, saving Fairy Li Shan.
Hei Cheng's pupils shrunk, his anger was rising.
"Xue Song Zi..." Hei Cheng gritted his teeth, he looked at the battlefield far away.
But what Hei Cheng saw was, Xue Song Zi's robe was tattered, he was escaping with an expression of fear. His long hair had become much shorter, he was almost bald.
Hei Cheng's pupils could not help but contract.
This... exactly how strong was the enemy?
As if answering his question, the strength path phantom army numbering over two hundred thousand shouted, a cry that could shake the earth.
They were a huge mob, even thicker than the tribulation cloud in the sky, chasing after Xue Song Zi alone.
This was simply bullying!
Hei Cheng frowned deeply: "What is going on? Why have these strength path phantoms not been destroyed yet, in fact, even more are appearing?"
After that, he saw that half the phantom army was charging towards him.
Hei Cheng snorted coldly, he willed and several mortal killer moves were activated together.
Thousand Demon Rampage! Dark Fire! Black Wind Break!
"Kill!" The myriad self army charged.
In several breaths of time, the wails of demons resounded, the dark fire dimmed, and the black winds dissipated.
Hei Cheng who had always been confident and relaxed finally changed his expression: "This power... this is an immortal killer move! This inconspicuous looking immortal zombie actually has such high battle strength?"
The myriad self army pressed forth, charging into Hei Cheng's dark veil battlefield fearlessly.
Hei Cheng's eyes twitched, he had to retreat!
He was handsome and elegant, even when he retreated, he still kept his cool, his arms were like butterflies fluttering in the sky, activating mortal killer moves one after another.
But this could not stop the advancement of the myriad self army.
Just like a humongous tide, no matter how powerful his mortal killer moves were, they were like rocks in front of a tsunami, or weak little fish, they were all swept away and devoured mercilessly!
Hei Cheng squinted his eyes, his expression turned grim.
"This immortal killer move... even if I use Dark Prison and release the sharp tusk boar, it might not be its match!" Hei Cheng retreated under the pressure of the army.
Under this situation, if Hei Cheng wanted to turn the situation around, he would need to kill Fang Yuan's main body using dark arrows. But two dark arrows were already trapped by Fairy Li Shan, the remaining one could do nothing to Fang Yuan who had Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace.
"This lunatic, how many beads of immortal essence did he use?!" Hei Cheng cursed in his heart, his eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan who was on the ground.
Sensing Hei Cheng's dangerous gaze, Fang Yuan looked back and gave Hei Cheng a smile of disdain.
At the same time, a large portion of the army charged towards Hei Cheng.
"This fellow!" Hei Cheng finally showed a trace of nervousness. Being pincer attacked by two armies, he could only dodge in the sky. Even after he used countless mortal killer moves, he could only halt the army's advancement slightly.
At this moment, the situation had become — two Gu Immortals being chased down by Fang Yuan alone.
"Good job junior brother!"
Fairy Li Shan stood on the crown of a tree, seeing this, her expression froze slightly. She did not expect the situation to become like this.
Everyone gathered and entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Fang Yuan looked at the icy plain battlefield one last time then, used Fixed Immortal Travel.
Three breaths later, he vanished, returning to Snowy Mountain blessed land.
After returning, Hei Lou Lan started to refine Immortal Gu in her aperture while Fairy Li Shan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Fang Yuan rested.
After some time Hei Lou Lan let out a breath of turbid air and slowly opened her eyes.
Fairy Li Shan immediately asked with concern: "Success?"
Hei Lou Lan nodded.
Fairy Li Shan took a deep breath, her eyes reddened as she spoke in a choked voice filled with excitement and relief: "Little Lan, you have the Great Strength True Martial Physique and now have succeeded in becoming an immortal, you possess a super grade blessed land and have extraordinary potential.
Truly, after a dark cloud comes a clear sky, if sister knew of this in the afterlife, she would certainly be happy!"
Hei Lou Lan appeared tranquil: "I have succeeded in advancing to Gu Immortal but have yet to kill that old scumbag."
"Hei Lou Lan, I hate to be blunt but the chances of killing Hei Cheng with only the four of us, even if he is alone, are rather low." Tai Bai Yun Sheng coughed, and said.
"Right, defeating a Gu Immortal is easy but killing is another thing altogether." Fang Yuan heaved a deep sigh as he stood up, the injuries on his body had essentially healed.
Hei Lou Lan looked at Fang Yuan and gave a slight smile: "To be able to succeed this time in resisting the enemy and allowing me to pass the tribulation is thanks to your strength."
"Since we are allies, we naturally need to help each other out." A sharp light flashed through Fang Yuan's eyes.
"According to the previous agreement, here is small family qi Gu's recipe.
Fang Yuan accepted the recipe for small family qi Gu, then sighed: "In this battle, I won and also lost, consuming over sixty green grape immortal essence. The fifteen immortal essence stones I owe you, I am afraid it might take some time for me to return them."
Fairy Li Shan was in a good mood because of Hei Lou Lan's success in advancing, she immediately stated: "No need to hurry, whenever your circumstances are better, you can return them to me and I also won't collect any interest on them. Also, didn't you ask us about wisdom path inheritances?"
"Could it be that you have some clues?" Fang Yuan asked.
Fairy Li Shan slowly said: "There is a clue. You are also aware of northern plains' number one wisdom path Gu Immortal, Dong Fang Chang Fan's death some months ago.
He left behind an intact wisdom path inheritance for his successor, Dong Fang Yu Liang, but Dong Fang Yu Liang is only a mortal and it will be hard for him to preserve a Gu Immortal inheritance, especially when this inheritance is a wisdom path inheritance."
"According to the tip-off, Dong Fang Chang Fan has placed this wisdom path inheritance in a hidden place and even Dong Fang tribe's other Gu Immortals don't know about its exact position. Only Dong Fang Yu Liang holds the key clue."
"Right now, many demonic path Gu Immortals have already allied in secret to conspire for Dong Fang Chang Fan's wisdom path inheritance. Back when Dong Fang Chang Fan was alive, both the righteous and demonic path of northern plains suffered losses from him, many were schemed against and suffered setbacks under his hands.
Reportedly, his successor Dong Fang Yu Liang has talents and aptitude as strong as Dong Fang Chang Fan's. Most of northern plains' Gu Immortals are not willing to see a second Dong Fang Chang Fan." Fairy Li Shan continued.
"Several months ago, some demonic path Gu Immortals already sought me out to use my mountain pledge Gu to reach a temporary alliance in their scheme for the wisdom path inheritance. But I had already made an alliance agreement with Dong Fang Chang Fan by then and could not make any moves against Dong Fang tribe. Fang Yuan, if you want, I can act as go-between and let you join this alliance.
They would have a lot more detailed information and will be of great help to you when you contend for the inheritance."
Fang Yuan did not refuse but also did not immediately agree: "I need some time to consider."
"There is no hurry." Hei Lou Lan said, "Right now, the biggest news in northern plains is the matter of Qin Bai Sheng capturing Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, holding the essence of the luck path true inheritance. This matter has already caused a commotion among most of the Gu Immortals of northern plains, even those rank eight old monsters are said to have come out of their seclusions."
Hei Lou Lan revealed a ridiculing expression: "Hehe, Qin Bai Sheng is a rank seven Gu Immortal, an expert among lone cultivators, having overpowering metal path battle strength and even being somewhat stronger than that old scoundrel Hei Cheng, but this luck path true inheritance is a thorny matter, almost all of northern plains' Gu Immortals are looking to deal with him.
Right now, Gu Immortals from all around are rushing over, while Qin Bai Sheng is a lone force and even though he occupies a blessed land, there will be countless difficulties for him in resisting these assaults, his life will certainly be quite hard."
A cold light vaguely flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes before he muttered: "We are the survivors of the wind veil of assimilation. Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun were also involved in the event! Although they escaped early, they know about us and are barriers for us to move freely in northern plains."
Without speaking any further, Fang Yuan took his leave and returned to Hu Immortal blessed land alone.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng remained here to heal Hei Lou Lan. Hei Lou Lan had passed the tribulation of her Immortal Gu, her immortal aperture was in ruins and required Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Landscape as Before.
A few days later
Central continent, Hu Immortal blessed land.
Many days had passed since Hei Lou Lan's tribulation. Because it was used intensely in battle, cleanse soul Immortal Gu was hungry already, while delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu had been activated many times, but its condition was still good, it was not hungry.
Fang Yuan brought three Immortal Gu recipes over to Lang Ya blessed land and completed the transaction with Lang Ya land spirit.
He earned a total of fourty immortal essence stones.
At this point, he had a hundred and ten immortal essence stones and twenty-seven green grape immortal essence beads.
At this moment Tai Bai Yun Sheng returned from snowy mountain.
"You did not see the environment of the super grade blessed land, sigh, I saw it with my own eyes. Having over 6700km² of land, the blessed land's time flow is thirty-eight times that of the outside world! There is much vitality and great potential in it, I could not help but feel jealous towards it.
In my opinion, the biggest winner after the battle of this tribulation is Hei Lou Lan!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng returned and started talking incessantly, while sighing endlessly.
"A super grade blessed land is precisely like that, after all one of the ten extreme physiques becoming an immortal is like skating on thin ice, it is a fight for survival in a deadly situation. Compared to this, I am more worried about how many Immortal Gu Hei Lou Lan managed to refine during the third step of this immortal ascension." Fang Yuan asked.
"Her immortal aperture was created using the flying bear strength Immortal Gu, this strength path Immortal Gu was given to her by Giant Sun's will. Flying bear strength Gu is now her vital Gu, Other than that, she also obtained a rank six strength qi Gu." Tai Bai Yun Sheng replied.
Fang Yuan analyzed what Hei Lou Lan had: "In this case, Hei Lou Lan is confirmed to have three Immortal Gu. They are flying bear strength Gu, strength qi Gu, and slavery Immortal Gu. Divert disaster Gu had been destroyed during the tribulation. But don't forget, she had once destroyed the flying bear phantom and obtained flying bear phantom Gu after suppressing it.
After that, I lost my connection with the flying bear phantom Immortal Gu. I am not sure if this Gu was taken away by the formless hands or if it is still with her now!"
