Chapter 19 Wealth Gu

"Supreme true inheritance!" Man Tian's pupils enlarged and his gaze burned brightly.

When the true inheritance light lump was still a thousand steps away, Man Tian felt its surging aura.

This was a feeling which ordinary true inheritances and even unparalleled true inheritances did not have.

Under the effect of this aura, thoughts started to gather in Man Tian's mind; countless thoughts emerged out of thin air and his memories flashed past continuously.

If his mind was like a deep pond during normal times, then right now, the rapidly increasing thoughts were like a huge waterfall crashing down into this deep pond.

Thoughts surged madly, creating waves after waves!

This feeling was incomparably wonderful, and Man Tian was not able to find an accurate word to describe it.

The memories buried deep within his mind started to emerge one after another, the dust on them removed as they realistically and vividly appeared in his mind.

Great numbers of inspirational lights flashed past and all sorts of lively ideas emerged in Man Tian's mind. Some problems and doubts regarding cultivation were being instantly solved under the inspirational lights.

An extremely strong self-confidence involuntarily arose in Man Tian's mind.

This was an indescribably wonderful feeling, as if everything was within his control, as if there were no problems he could not solve...

This was a special 'power' that people could not help but be deeply addicted to. Reaching this point Man Tian forcefully pulled himself out and sighed.

In just a moment of time he had lost over twenty seven years of lifespan. Seeing Man Tian pull out of its influence the gu did not keep on chasing him but kept on moving.

Fang Yuan who had staid in it's light for a breath of time actually lost two years but Man Tian stayed under its light longer to get more inspiration and solve the problems he he is facing. God knows he has more than a hundred stuck killer moves and thousands of immortal gu stuck in a bottleneck.

The Immortal Gu contained in this supreme true inheritance is the rank nine Gu of legend, wisdom Gu!

Wisdom Gu!

It was recorded in the legends of Ren Zu

This was a rank nine Immortal Gu which could give endless wisdom to the Gu Master!

But the price to use it was extremely high.

The legends of Ren Zu clearly recorded that Ren Zu and Desolate Ancient Moon had to give their middle age to it to obtain its help.

In other words, using wisdom Gu meant using up lifespan!

Man Tian had not even approached it, but his lifespan had been worn down rapidly; his body aged in just a short period of time.

In regards to Man Tian, wisdom Gu was a true death god!

"I really don't know how Giant Sun Immortal Venerable obtained it back then and even more, what heaven defying methods did he use to seal it here. No wonder Giant Sun Immortal Venerable thought up all kinds of methods to extend lifespan, he must have used wisdom Gu a lot." Man Tian was deeply moved.

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable probably used wisdom Gu for one reason - to extend lifespan. Unfortunately, the more wisdom Gu was used, the shorter his lifespan became, and in the end, he did not obtain the solution he wanted as well.

According to the historical records, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable lived for over eight thousand years before dying.

Eight thousand years was already a result on the middle to upper level among rank nine venerables. Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable who had the longest lifespan, lived for twenty-five thousand years. The one with the shortest lifespan was Red Lotus Demon Venerable who only lived for three thousand years.

Other venerables generally had a lifespan of around seven thousand years.

There are three supreme inheritances in the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Wisdom gu and its inheritance is Just a part of it.

The first is a luck path inheritance founded by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, using his unique luck path attainment, he was able to become invincible in the world! Second is the control rights of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and most likely along with its blue print. This tower was refined by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable and Long Hair Ancestor; it can plunder the Gu worms of a region, there would be endless Gu cultivation resources for one who obtains it!

but Man Tian was not here for that, rather he was here to refine a gu mentioned in the legends of Ren Zu.

Man Tian started setting up a concealment killer move followed by a defensive killer move followed by another defensive killer move which traps almost everything, a time path killer move that heals gu or at least revert them back and lastly a human refinement path formation to avoid the attention of heaven's will with rank eight repentance immortal gu, rank eight remorse immortal gu, rank seven concealed immortal gu and other immortal gu.

All the above killer move were amongst the best rank eight killer moves and formations. not even heaven's will should easily notice this.

Man Tian took a deep breath while recalling the recipe for the gu from the legends of Ren Zu.

Legend says that the miniman surpassed Boundless Forest Samsara and persevered to build the ladder and made his way out of Ordinary Abyss.

When the miniman saw Ren Zu, Ren Zu sighed, if he had perseverance Gu back then, he would have conquered Reverse Flow River and would not have created such a mess.

Ren Zu wanted to save his children, but until now, he had not achieved anything.

Ren Zu saw that the miniman had perseverance Gu and gained new hope, he said to the miniman: "Miniman, oh miniman, I need your help."

The miniman asked: "Oh Ren Zu, how do you want me to help you?"

Ren Zu told the miniman that he wanted to borrow and use perseverance Gu.

The miniman said: "Oh Ren Zu, the reason why I could leave Ordinary Abyss was because I used the trees that you planted. I chopped down those trees and built my ladder, thus, I owe you a favor."

The miniman agreed to lend perseverance Gu to Ren Zu.

But after Ren Zu gained perseverance Gu, he realized he could not use it.

"This is the perseverance of the miniman, not yours, Ren Zu." Cognition Gu appeared at this time and told Ren Zu this fact.

Ren Zu was anguished, he sighed deeply.

He asked cognition Gu: "Then what should I do? I know that perseverance Gu can help me but I cannot use it. I know the feathermen can help me but love cannot control them."

Cognition Gu told Ren Zu: "Nobody can force anyone to love them, but you can create a Gu to lure the feathermen into helping you do things. Think about it, how did the miniman gain perseverance Gu?"

Cognition Gu's words were a huge inspiration to Ren Zu.

Ren Zu was overjoyed: "Oh cognition Gu, thank you for the great idea. I know what to do now, I want to create my own Gu."

Cognition Gu was curious: "What Gu is that?"

Ren Zu shook his head: "I am not sure, but I have an idea. I want this Gu to be something everyone in the world wants."

Thus, Ren Zu left Ordinary Abyss and went to the blue sea.

This was the blue sea that formed life Gu, it was the source of all life in the world.

Ren Zu had walked ashore from the blue sea, he was back here again.

Ren Zu was thirsty, he scooped up the blue sea water and drank a few mouthfuls, he got more thirsty as he drank it, but Ren Zu was satisfied: "I want to use the blue sea water to refine Gu. After I succeed, no matter who obtains it, they will never be satisfied, they will want more."

Thus, Ren Zu took away a lot of blue sea water.

After the sea level reduced, the beach was exposed. Ren Zu found that there were many sea urchin-like Gu on the beach.

This was not life Gu, it was difficulty Gu.

Any life would face difficulties.

Ren Zu's eyes shone, he said: "I want to refine Gu that everyone needs, but to obtain it, there will be difficulties."

Thus, he took many difficulty Gu.

After doing all these, Ren Zu left the blue sea and headed to the Door of Life and Death.

After entering it, Ren Zu did not go deeply into the Door of Life and Death, but only walked one round around the road of life.

He gathered a lot of worry Gu as he said: "I want to refine Gu that after getting it, people will not abandon easily, they will be worried that it will go missing."

After leaving the Door of Life and Death, along the way, Ren Zu met with sadness Gu.

Ren Zu laughed happily: "Excellent, I want to refine Gu in which once people lose it, they will be very sad. This way, people will not abandon it easily."

Thus, he collected the sadness Gu.

Ren Zu had gathered everything, he started to refine Gu.

The flames of the Gu refinement raged on, a lot of black smoke was produced, attracting many Gu and lifeforms to come and watch.

"Oh Ren Zu, what Gu are you trying to refine?" Stupidity Gu was lured here as it asked curiously.

Ren Zu smiled: "Oh stupidity Gu, if you want to know, go into the fire and see for yourself."

Stupidity Gu went inside and never came out again.

Not long after, wisdom Gu came here as well, it asked: "Oh Ren Zu, what are you trying to refine?"

Ren Zu laughed: "Oh wisdom Gu, if you want to know, go into the fire and see for yourself."

Wisdom Gu flew in too.

But it only flew into the black smoke, once its vision was obscured, it flew around randomly and flew out again.

"Ren Zu, oh Ren Zu, I was almost deceived by you. I already know what you are refining, I am leaving." Saying this, wisdom Gu flew away.

Ren Zu felt that it was a pity, he sighed: "This way, after my Gu is refined, it can enslave stupid people, and blind wise people for some time."

Days passed one by one.

The Gu refinement flame continued to burn, but he did not succeed.

The black smoke did not fade away, it gathered in the sky and created huge black clouds.

"Oh Ren Zu, you must have felt it, we are just one step away. This final step is the most crucial one." Cognition Gu said.

Ren Zu nodded, he stood up with determination and walked towards the fire: "It seems that this Gu needs to be created with human hands."

Saying so, Ren Zu chopped off both hands and threw them into the fire.

Boom!

The flame exploded as the endless dark clouds in the sky faded, under the golden sunlight that shone down, a little girl appeared before Ren Zu.

"Oh father, thank you for giving life to me, I am Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence." The girl was radiating an aura of prosperity, she smiled towards Ren Zu.

Ren Zu looked at her and laughed: "Hahaha, I have another daughter now. But wait, did my Gu refinement succeed?"

Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence opened her right palm as she held the Gu towards Ren Zu: "Look father, this is the Gu that you refined, it is called — Wealth."

Man Tian laughed he had all the gu he needed Difficulty Gu + Worry Gu + Sadness Gu + Stupidity Gu + Wisdom Gu.

And if the legends of Ren Zu should be trusted nothing should happen to wisdom gu.

Man Tian took out the water of the sea of life. According to Ren Zu this should create greed in the gu.

Next was difficulty gu considering Ren Zu said 'many' Man Tian had around nine thousand mortal difficulty gu from the beach of the sea of life.

Man Tian then added worry gu together with a lot of sadness gu.

As Man Tian continued with gu refinement he found a lot of black smoke coming out and just like that many unrefined gu worms watched from the sides.

Reaching this point Man Tian let out several hundred unrefined stupidity gu. Seeing the black smoke all the stupidity gu went in and never came out.

Reaching this point Man Tian's heart was restless as the only component remaining being wisdom gu.

Wisdom Gu came out of the true inheritance and went closer to refinement formation and looked at Man Tian questioningly.

Man Tian just pointed to the refinement path formation as if to tell it 'go look for yourself my dear wisdom gu.'

Seeing this as if it attracted to the refinement path formation it went closer and closer and circled it for awhile then came back out and looked at Man Tian angrily.

Seeing this Man Tian was satisfied as he stood up and a human appeared in front of him. Man Tian decisively gave it apart of his soul.

When the clone came to life it looked at Man Tian and nodded decisively while going to the refinement path formation and cut off its hands along with its soul doing this meant never being able to grow hands ever again. It then threw both hands into the fire.

Boom!

The flame exploded as the endless dark clouds in the sky faded, under the golden sunlight that shone down, and a shining golden like rank six silkworm came out.

Man Tian could naturally feel very close to the gu worm and he even felt he could use it without refining it.

Man Tian called it into his aperture and it naturally entered Man Tian then set up a teleportation formation and sending the clone back to Kong Jue blessed land.

When he turned back and wanted to collect the formations he still saw wisdom gu glaring at him Man Tian sighed and took out a ten year lifespan gu and threw it to it. Wisdom Gu snorted lightly before consuming it and returning a bit healthier than before.

Man Tian looked at wisdom gu and said "I just want a copy of the recipes in the inheritance and in return I will give you a ten year lifespan gu without taking anything deal?"

Hearing this wisdom gu looked at Man Tian suspiciously and after Man Tian showed it the lifespan gu it moved out of the way letting him copy the inheritance.

After finishing Man Tian naturally gave wisdom gu the lifespan gu and moved on with his journey.
