Chapter 841. Fang Yuan's Public Provocation | Reverend Insanity

Seemingly hearing Firesmith Dragon Chief's inner voice, Fang Yuan continued to ridicule with even more intensity: "Good, this gaze, this mood, this rage, only like this can you bring out all your strength to fight me. Only such an opponent can make me feel some interest. Remember, you must use all your strength, otherwise you will be Myriad Dragon Dock's disgrace! Hahaha."Fang Yuan spoke with such arrogance while pointing at Firesmith Dragon Chief.At once, all the Gu Masters were speechless.Wasn't this way too arrogant?!Myriad Dragon Dock's members gritted their teeth. They were arrogant, but Fang Yuan was even more arrogant.Firesmith Dragon Chief trembled in anger, staring at Fang Yuan with such fury that flames seemed to spout out.Unlike the imagination of outsiders, Fang Yuan had a bold demeanor on the surface, but inwardly, he was extremely vigilant."Differing from the information in the outside world, this Firesmith Dragon Chief's main cultivation is actually not refinement path but fire path. Back when he was at Myriad Dragon Dock, he was a refinement path Gu Master. And he was also indeed thrown out of the sect, but because of a fortuitous encounter, he obtained a certain fire path Gu Immortal's inheritance. After he became a fire path Gu Immortal, he tried to enter Myriad Dragon Dock again. Myriad Dragon Dock naturally would not let go of a Gu Immortal and had actually already secretly taken him in. It was just that it happened to be time for the Refinement Path Convention, and seeing his refinement path attainment was grandmaster level, they hurriedly made him join the competition to try to seize the top spot and get more benefits for the sect!""This Firesmith Dragon Chief's refinement path attainment level is above mine, in my previous life, he was ranked at second of this convention, a refinement path grandmaster cannot be taken lightly. Especially during the Gu refinement in the tenth round, he impressively suppressed three quasi-grandmasters on the spot. Such an enemy must be beaten down early. If I let go of this chance, according to my previous life's memories, there will be almost no chance of suppressing him."Firesmith Dragon Chief was a Gu Immortal, but he did not disclose it, instead disguising himself as a mortal.He naturally could not conceal his Gu Immortal cultivation from other Gu Immortals, but it was okay for them to know it, no one would expose this.Maintaining their mysteriousness helped Gu Immortals to maintain their dominion.There was also another reason: By any chance, if they lost to a mortal in the Refinement Path Convention, that would be too disgraceful.Why would Gu Immortals lose to mortals?There were actually many cases of mortals defeating Gu Immortals in the Refinement Path Convention.Gu refinement was not like fighting or killing, it was purely technical. The most important reason was that Immortal Gu were unique and were extremely difficult to successfully refine.Without Immortal Gu as a benchmark, the competition between Gu Immortals and mortals depended on refining mortal Gu.Everyone could refine mortal Gu, and to a great extent, it could not embody the gap between immortal and mortal.Thus, normally speaking, all Gu Immortals would hide their identities when participating in the Refinement Path Convention."Start." Fang Yuan urged the Demon Expelling Sect's elder."Begin quickly!" Firesmith Dragon Chief shouted, he was already impatient to crush this rampant Fang Yuan.Demon Expelling Sect's elder endured the pressure from the two, and said firmly with gritted teeth: "It is not yet time, the competition cannot be started. There are still three breaths of time left… three, two, one, okay, activate the isolation Gu formation, close the entrance of the venue, release the task!"In the previous seven rounds of the Refinement Path Convention, because of too many participants, they could only let the participants take the test in turns.Now, at the eighth round, the number of participants had greatly reduced. Each test venue only held the competition once, the Gu Masters who missed this chance would be regarded as voluntarily giving up.The Gu worms that contained the tasks were also very specific. This information path rank five mortal Gu was a method of Heavenly Court, and had extraordinary ability in preserving secrets.The tasks were not stored inside, but controlled by Heavenly Court. The instant the competition was about to begin, the true tasks would be transmitted.Everyone, inside and outside the stage, went quiet when the task was released. They were holding their breaths as they fixed their gazes on the task, it was so quiet that even a pin dropping could be heard.The eighth task: Refine a keep silent Gu, a rank five sound path Gu worm. The participant who successfully refines it first will be the winner and can advance to the next round. The remaining Gu Masters will be eliminated.The materials provided were: Immortal soul grass, worry stones, a rank four apathy Gu, six rank three muted mouth Gu, two rank four sinking Gu… and the test did not allow the use of other materials.The Gu recipes provided were: Six different keep silent Gu recipes, three different apathy Gu recipes and one collusion Gu recipe.Everyone was frowning.The difficulty of this task could be considered about ten times higher than the seventh round!Not only were there ten different Gu recipes, it also demanded a discerning eye, so the Gu Master could choose those most suitable for themselves. Moreover, the supplied materials were limited and did not allow the Gu Master to use materials they brought, in addition, these materials could not satisfy the requirements of any one Gu recipe.This meant that the Gu Masters would need to reverse-refine apathy Gu, muted mouth Gu or sinking Gu to obtain more refinement materials. They would have to make use of these materials to finally refine the rank five sound path keep silent Gu.Another method was for the participating Gu Masters to use wisdom path methods to sum up these Gu recipes and improve them, deducing a Gu recipe that met the conditions using the supplied materials as the base.However, between these two methods, the first one was naturally the most worthwhile and effective. The second method required extremely high wisdom path attainment, and by this stage, it was rare to see Gu Masters who also had deep wisdom path attainment.More importantly, this test took time into consideration.Only the first one to refine the Gu successfully could be the winner, while the rest were eliminated.The mental pressure was high. And during the final steps, it was likely for there to be those who could not endure the mental pressure, making a mistake and failing.Firesmith Dragon Chief almost coughed out blood when he saw the task.What kind of shitty task was this?Firesmith Dragon Chief almost cursed out loud!He was actually a fire path Gu Immortal, and was most proficient in refining fire path Gu worms. This sound path Gu worm clearly did not fall within his proficiency range, moreover, several of the crucial refinement materials could not be handled with fire refinement techniques!This was awkward.Fang Yuan had rampantly asked Firesmith Dragon Chief to use his strongest Gu refinement killer move, mad deity's blazing flames.Firesmith Dragon Chief was furious and had also planned to use this killer move to completely humiliate Fang Yuan.However with such a task, what would Firesmith Dragon Chief use mad deity's blazing flames for? Using the fire to burn air?This task was extremely at odds with Firesmith Dragon Chief.Relatively speaking, out of his entire Gu refinement attainment, he could only display eighty percent. Even if he was a Gu Immortal, they also had areas where they were proficient in and those that they were not.This task just happened to be an aspect which Firesmith Dragon Chief was most unskilled in.Naturally, refinement path grandmaster attainment was not just for show, Firesmith Dragon Chief could absolutely succeed in refining the Gu.However, the key thing was the appearance of Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan's true skills were enough to threaten Firesmith Dragon Chief. Among experts of similar levels, just a slight decrease in capability could determine the winner and the loser, let alone when Firesmith Dragon Chief was weakened by a whole twenty percent!'This guy chose such great timing, his luck is seriously too good! No, I must defeat him!' Firesmith Dragon Chief swore to himself, and glanced at Fang Yuan.However, at the next moment, his eyeballs almost popped out!Fang Yuan had already started refining!How was it possible?How could he start so fast?The supplied Gu recipes and materials could not be matched together. Gu Masters had to reverse-refine Gu worms to create materials, or sum up the Gu recipes and deduce a new one. In short, refining rank five keep silent Gu at the end.Thus, this required the Gu Master to think deeply, making deductions constantly in their mind, and consider the probabilities of orthodox refining and reverse-refining, from there, combining many ideas to make the most concise Gu refinement plan.This thought process was extremely important.The ideas from the thoughts needed to have low risks. If the risks were high, there could be many failures, resulting in materials being wasted and not leaving enough for the Gu refinement, and with the condition of not being able to use one's own materials, they could only admit defeat.While seeking low risk, they also needed to consume the least amount of time. If you consumed too much time, someone else might have already finished, and even if you succeeded in refining, you would be eliminated.Demanding low risk and also low time consumption, this was quite difficult.They would require meticulous thinking, constant comparisons and arrangements, and then choosing the best plan out of them all.Even though Firesmith Dragon Chief was a grandmaster in refinement path, he estimated he would also need about eight minutes of time.However, this, this, this Fang Yuan, how could he start refining Gu at the very start?"Is there a mistake?""He really has such confidence?!""Foolish, a workman must sharpen his tools if he is to work well. The correct way is to calm down and think."The participating Gu Masters glanced at Fang Yuan a few times before concentrating on thinking.Fang Yuan had the lead and was progressing extremely quickly.Other Gu Masters had not even begun refining, only he had started, this naturally led to most of the spectators gazing at him.Exclamations of praise sounded out repeatedly."Such dazzling methods.""Skilled, too skilled! It is simply like an instinct that has seeped into his bones!""But is this okay? Haste makes waste."Fang Yuan naturally knew the logic of haste makes waste, but he knew the contents of this task.In Fang Yuan's previous life, after he became a blood path Gu Immortal, he had once planned to participate in the Refinement Path Convention.The reason?Because even the demonic path could participate in the Refinement Path Convention, even wanted criminals could register their names overtly, and the righteous path would not arrest them.During that time, Fang Yuan did not have a single Immortal Gu and was putting his efforts in gathering immortal materials to refine Immortal Gu, the whole process was extremely arduous.In comparison, although he was an immortal zombie in this life, his financial circumstances were many times better.Fang Yuan had considered almost any possible method to gather immortal materials. He realized that the Refinement Path Convention was an opportunity to obtain large amounts of immortal materials.

Chapter 842. Capturing Fang Zheng in Public | Reverend Insanity

In Fang Yuan's previous life, by the time he placed his attention on the Refinement Path Convention, only a time period of over a decade had passed since the previous competition.To join the Refinement Path Convention, Fang Yuan had started preparing for it over eighty years in advance during his previous life.Every day, he spent some time practising both day and night.During this process of practising, Fang Yuan had the mindset of a youngster on Earth facing a mountain of exam practice. He collected all of the different tasks throughout the years of competitions and practised them laboriously, trying to discern the intention of the set task.He easily obtained all of the questions. There were people in Central Continent specialized in selling such information, these were easy to buy and sell. People seeking intelligence were simply everywhere.Thinking back to the times when he buried himself in practice, they were truly terrifying memories. But in actuality, Fang Yuan's refinement path foundation was built during that time. Without that period, he would not reach his current refinement path quasi-grandmaster level.Thus, Fang Yuan not only remembered this competition's contents, he even knew the contents of many previous competitions, and even future competitions!With such a huge advantage, even if his refinement path attainment was inferior to Firesmith Dragon Chief, so what?Of course, this had a drawback.That was the butterfly effect.Since rebirth, Fang Yuan had altered the developments of many events. By burning a tree, it could cause a forest fire.Those skilled in swimming could drown, those skilled in riding could fall. By relying solely on his advantage, would Fang Yuan cause his own demise due to a change in the questions this time?This was entirely possible.But this was only a possibility.According to Fang Yuan's deductions, there was a very small probability of this happening.Fang Yuan decided to take a risk.And he succeeded, the contents did not change at all!Time continued to passThe state of the intense Gu refinement competition was starting to become clear.Fang Yuan was in the lead, he was ahead of the second place Firesmith Dragon Chief by a large margin. He was radiating with confidence, he refined Gu calmly, maintaining his huge lead and gradually fermenting despair in all of the competitors who were trying to catch up to him.Some Gu Masters outside the stage started to see some deeper things, they praised: "Fang Yuan has such quick wits. He did not think about it excessively, he designed this Gu refinement plan straight away. Incredible, his plan can not only keep a stable refinement speed, there are also fewer steps, allowing some mistakes. Even if he fails several times, the amount of materials are enough for him to try again."This was natural.The plan Fang Yuan used was the finalized perfect plan that countless Gu Masters had come up with after many attempts in his previous life.There were more people gasping at Fang Yuan's Gu refinement techniques: "Fang Yuan's Gu refinement techniques are truly incredible. He has so many of them, they are like his inborn skills. This is truly the result of immense practice and hard work! Now, he is refining keep silent Gu, involving many techniques that are not used normally, but he could actually use them so skillfully, it is hard to imagine his proficiency with normal techniques."This was natural.For this eighth round, Fang Yuan had made many preparations.In Hu Immortal blessed land, he had specially trained and refined keep silent Gu. He did the entire procedure over and over again, he practiced at least two hundred times!"Most notably, he is radiating with confidence from inside to outside. He believes in his success, as if the failure rate of the Gu refinement does not exist. This is the demeanor of a refinement path expert, the Three Olds of refinement path in history were just like this.""That's right, looking at him refine Gu is like watching a dazzling performance!""How great is his confidence, it is almost as if victory is kept in his pocket.""His advantage is too great, even if Fang Yuan fails the Gu refinement once or twice, he can still fight for first place with Firesmith Dragon Chief who is currently second."Under the gazes of countless people, Fang Yuan won this competition with a huge lead, without any surprises.Throughout the process, Fang Yuan unquestionably suppressed his competitors. Even Firesmith Dragon Chief lost to him by a great margin."Lord Firesmith Dragon Chief lost…""He was eliminated like this?"Spectators from Myriad Dragon Dock could not believe their eyes, they muttered dazedly."Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan!" The people from Immortal Crane Sect shouted, they cheered loudly!Only Fang Zheng was still sitting, he looked at his brother on the stage, he felt as if the black robe was shrouded over his heart."Perhaps in my lifetime, I'll never get a chance to take revenge!" At this moment, Fang Zheng was extremely discouraged, he had no fighting spirit left in him.Even though he had deep hatred, Fang Zheng felt extremely weak in front of Fang Yuan, there was nothing he could do!Firesmith Dragon Chief was staring with wide opened eyes, he gazed at Fang Yuan fixedly.He was unwilling to accept this!He did not even use his strongest killer move, this damned question restricted him.But he had to admit that Fang Yuan's mind was very sharp and fast."He actually designed such a flawless Gu refinement plan in such a short time. Is this Fang Yuan guy really an immortal zombie? Is there an error with the information?"Immortal zombies were worse in thinking, the plan that Fang Yuan 'thought of' made this Gu Immortal, Firesmith Dragon Chief, feel extremely ashamed. At once, Firesmith Dragon Chief was suspicious of Fang Yuan's status as an immortal zombie.This round of the competition was over, Fang Yuan walked down slowly as he left the stage.He did not mock or humiliate Firesmith Dragon Chief, the latter couldn't help but relax slightly.Since he had won, there was no point in humiliating the other party. If he provoked Firesmith Dragon Chief and caused him to issue a challenge for a duel, Fang Yuan would only be inviting trouble for himself.Eventually, Firesmith Dragon Chief brought the people from Myriad Dragon Dock away, leaving with regret.Fang Yuan obtained the victor's reward from Demon Expelling Sect, it was a number of immortal materials, there was a huge variety of them, but each of them had little quantity.Starting from the eighth round, the rewards were far more valuable than the first seven rounds, there were immortal materials as well as Immortal Gu recipes and others.If this was not the case, why would Fang Yuan treat the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention as a method to gather immortal materials in his previous life?Fang Yuan kept the immortal materials, he rejected Demon Expelling Sect's invitation to stay as a guest, he walked all the way to the exit.At the mountain gate, Immortal Crane Sect's group was waiting already."Lord Fang Yuan!" Seeing Fang Yuan's arrival, Elder Yan Tang and another elder greeted him together.Fang Zheng was helpless, he was also an elder that had come along, but he was standing behind the two of them with an expressionless face, he did not even make any greetings."Fellow sect members, a good day to you all." Under the mask, Fang Yuan's warm voice could be heard.Immortal Crane Sect's group was very excited.From Fang Yuan's earlier arrogance, they felt that he would be hard to talk to. But now, he spoke with a kind and warm tone, they felt that Fang Yuan was truly different when facing his fellow sect members, compared to dealing with outsiders.Fang Yuan first looked at elder Yan Tang.In the competition earlier, this elder had participated as well.Fang Yuan gave pointers casually: "Mm, your refinement path attainment is not low, but your plan had several flaws… this is how you should deal with them, for example, at the first step…"Elder Yan Tang heard this and felt great admiration towards Fang Yuan, he thanked him profusely.The disciples behind him had shining eyes, filled with admiration and praise.Fang Yuan directed his gaze at Fang Zheng now, his voice turned cold as he said with a tone filled with disappointment: "My brother, what expression are you showing? Are you afraid I will scold you? Your performance is just as disappointing as always. You did not even pass the first round of the Refinement Path Convention, you simply make us lose face!"The atmosphere turned heavy, the disciples were grimacing as they thought: Fang Yuan is such a fierce brother!Immortal Crane Sect's elders were stunned, it seemed that these two brothers had a rather cold relationship.Fang Zheng showed a look of hatred as he snorted, about to speak.Fang Yuan waved his hand, he was going to attack him in public!Fang Zheng was a rank five Gu Master, at the peak of the mortal world. But he was an enslavement path Gu Master, most of his battle strength relied on crane groups, and he also did not expect Fang Yuan to attack him in public under everyone's sight without caring for the consequences!Fang Yuan's attack was premeditated.He not only used several mortal killer moves, among them was a wisdom path killer move from Dong Fang Chang Fan.While Immortal Crane Sect was staring blankly, Fang Yuan struck, immediately immobilizing Fang Zheng while at a distance."Fang Zheng, you are too disappointing. At this stage, you are still moving around outside, why are you not settling down and cultivating! With such strength, you still want to attract attention outside, what is the point? Our parents are gone, as your brother, I hold the duty of a father to educate you! Since you are interested in refinement path, from today onwards, you will stay by my side, and I will impart to you my refinement path experience. You have to cultivate with all your heart, until I am satisfied." Fang Yuan chided."I don't want you to take care of me! I am an elder of Immortal Crane Sect, I have grown up already!" Fang Zheng screamed, he resembled a rebellious youth, refusing to accept discipline.But in fact, he was feeling an icy chill inside.He could not control himself, the words that he shouted were not words that he wanted to say!This was a wisdom path killer move from Dong Fang Chang Fan, it directly controlled Fang Zheng's mind and created fake thoughts that infiltrated Fang Zheng, causing him to act in accordance with these thoughts.This was similar to the way enslavement path Gu Masters controlled beasts. But the difference was, enslavement path Gu Masters usually only control beasts, they had simple thoughts. Controlling humans was much harder, they had complex minds.Fang Yuan was a rank six immortal zombie, against Fang Zheng, a rank five Gu Master, he had to use and coordinate several killer moves at once to smoothly capture Fang Zheng."No! Save me, will anyone save me! Master, master!" Fang Zheng screamed inwardly.But there was no response from the spirit incubating flea.Fang Yuan had cut off Fang Zheng's connection to his aperture.Fang Zheng stared at Fang Yuan with a furious expression. He did not think that Fang Yuan would be so crazy, attacking him here. He was simply a lunatic, he had no reservations towards offending Immortal Crane Sect!

Chapter 843. Immortal Gu Change Form | Reverend Insanity

Fang Yuan was in an alliance with Immortal Crane Sect, how could he dare to attack a member of Immortal Crane Sect?Fang Zheng knew more inside information than the other elders and disciples here, earlier, when He Feng Yang and Cang Yu attacked Hu Immortal blessed land and failed, because of the benefits of guts Gu, they reached an agreement.One of the clauses in the agreement was that members from both sides were not to attack each other. This was why Fang Zheng felt he was safe.Fang Yuan retracted his hand, Fang Zheng was immobilized, nor could he shout, he could not resist as a formless force pulled him up and sent him into Fang Yuan's hands.Immortal Crane Sect's group was looking on with dumbfounded expressions."Such terrifying strength!""Elder Fang Zheng has rank five cultivation level, but he was captured without putting up any resistance.""Even though Fang Zheng is an enslavement path Gu Master, isn't that too absurd?"Fang Yuan's unbelievable abilities struck fear in these people.Fang Zheng screamed internally: "Are you people watching a show? Quickly save me, he is no longer my brother, he killed our aunt and uncle, he killed all the clansmen in our clan, he is a demon, he is a great demon!"At the same time, Fang Zheng opened his mouth and shouted: "I will not go to your place, why should I listen to you? You want to lecture me again? I can decide my own life! I have my own goals, how can you understand my dreams? I can work hard myself, I can surpass you!"It was just like he was a completely rebellious and out of control youth.Fang Zheng heard his own yells and lost all hope!Fang Yuan sighed, he said to the people in Immortal Crane Sect: "During this period of time, my good-for-nothing brother has caused you trouble.""No trouble, no trouble at all." Immortal Crane Sect's members waved their hands in dismissal quickly.Fang Yuan nodded, he said: "I will bring Fang Zheng with me and educate him personally. I have talked to your sect leader regarding this matter already, you just need to go back and inform him."Fang Yuan was spouting nonsense, he did not even know what the sect leader looked like.The two elders let go of their last bits of hesitation.In order for Immortal Crane Sect to maintain its reputation, Fang Yuan's matter had always been covered in lies. Right now, Fang Yuan was using these lies to trick the members of Immortal Crane Sect.Fang Yuan carried Fang Zheng and left.The surrounding Gu Masters felt a peculiar feeling when they saw this, but since Immortal Crane Sect was saying nothing, why would they interfere? Furthermore, the target was the renowned refinement path expert Fang Yuan.There were Gu Masters of Demon Expelling Sect who were worried, they went over to ask.Elder Yan Tang smiled as he said: "There's no issue, Lord Fang Yuan and Elder Fang Zheng are brothers, right now, the elder brother is teaching his younger brother."Demon Expelling Sect was convinced and left.Immortal Crane Sect's gang watched as Fang Yuan left, many disciples gazed towards Fang Zheng with a look of envy.Someone sighed: "Even though Lord Fang Yuan speaks in a cold tone, he is really concerned about his one and only precious brother.""That's right, it is such a rare opportunity to receive the teachings of a refinement path grandmaster.""You know, after Fang Zheng accepted the sect mission last time, he came back and became a rank five elder. Now that he is brought away by his brother, would he come back as a refinement path grandmaster?""No way…""That is too exaggerated!""Even so, the guidance of such an expert is incredible precious, he has lots to gain from it.""Sigh, why don't I have a brother like this?" A disciple said the sentence that everyone was thinking about.If at this moment, they knew that Fang Yuan had captured Fang Zheng as a backup plan for his possession, what wondrous expressions would they show?PIop.Fang Yuan threw Fang Zheng on the ground.Fang Zheng struggled to get up, he screamed internally: "Fang Yuan, you vile demon, what do you want with me?! You and Immortal Crane Sect had made an agreement, you cannot kill me, an elder of Immortal Crane Sect."Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "I am not going to kill you, why are you so agitated, oh dear brother, just wait here obediently and quietly."Fang Zheng showed fear on his face, he cried out from within: "Fang Yuan is not my master, Lord Sky Crane, how can he hear my inner thoughts?"Fang Yuan smiled arrogantly, looking at Fang Zheng who was at his feet, he said: "Your so-called master is only a soul now. Even if he were to be alive, he was only a rank five Gu Master in his prime."Saying this, Fang Yuan grabbed with a hand and plundered all of the mortal Gu on Fang Zheng's body.The spirit incubating flea trembled weakly, this was the fierce resistance of Lord Sky Crane.But how could he succeed?If this was back on Qing Mao mountain, a hundred Fang Yuans would not be Lord Sky Crane's match. But now, Fang Yuan was completely different, he was a rank six Gu Immortal. Lord Sky Crane had even become merely a soul."Fang Yuan, even if you do not kill us, capturing us violates the alliance agreement, you will face fierce backlash from breaking it! I urge you to let us go, as a grand Gu Immortal, how can you take interest in us mortals? Are you not afraid that doing this would ruin your relationship with Immortal Crane Sect? Don't think Immortal Crane Sect cannot subdue you! The foundation of the ten great ancient sects is beyond your imagination." Lord Sky Crane screamed in the spirit incubating flea, he knew that Fang Yuan could hear him.Fang Yuan raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, Lord Sky Crane, I need to thank you. If you did not attack Qing Mao mountain, I would not have gotten to this level today through various opportunities. What can Immortal Crane Sect do even if I capture you two? Since you know many secrets, you should know that the ten great ancient sects are restraining each other, everything is based on benefits and self-interest. What do you think is more important, the one and only guts Gu, or the two of you?"Lord Sky Crane was speechless.A cold light shined in Fang Yuan's eyes, he mobilized countless Gu worms as he formed a soul path killer move at once: "Give me information about everything you know, soul search!"Two hours later, Fang Yuan walked out of this underground prison. Behind him, the entrance shut tightly.Fang Yuan's red eyes were shining with light as he muttered: "Lord Sky Crane, First Gen Gu Yue, blood path true inheritance…"Through soul searching, he had learned all about Lord Sky Crane and First Gen Gu Yue's enmity. He even learned many of Immortal Crane Sect's secrets."This Lord Sky Crane is a capable subordinate of He Feng Yang, if I capture him, will He Feng Yang come and ask for him? This is slightly troublesome.""Hehe, he actually did not want to use possession and wanted to protect Fang Zheng. This Lord Sky Crane holds onto his beliefs resolutely." Towards this, Fang Yuan praised without holding back.Even though he was a demonic overlord, he could appreciate and admire such an act of sacrificing oneself for another person, looking at it from a neutral perspective.The same kind of rice raises many different people. People in their lives all have their own goals and motivations.Towards these kinds of people with different value systems, Fang Yuan could accept and appreciate their existence.If he was not so open-minded, he would not have his current achievements."Judging from this, Old Lord Can Yang must have gotten the possession technique from Dong Fang Chang Fan and brought it back to Immortal Crane Sect."Lord Sky Crane's memories were not very helpful to Fang Yuan.He was only a mortal Gu Master, he did not know any deep secrets of Immortal Crane Sect, Fang Yuan could make little use of them.As for Fang Zheng, Fang Yuan did not let him off, he searched his soul too.Fang Yuan intended to keep his brother in captivity for a long time. If one day, he had no other choice, Fang Yuan would have to use this last resort and possess Fang Zheng, regaining his living status.But this way, he would lose his second aperture, all of the strength path dao marks on him would be gone, he would need to undergo immortal ascension again.The loss was huge.Second aperture Immortal Gu was created using countless precious immortal materials, among which was lifespan Gu!One could say that in the short term, Fang Yuan could not refine second aperture Immortal Gu.Lifespan Gu were hard to find, even if Fang Yuan could find them, with his current situation, he might use it directly to raise his lifespan."If possible, I would rather not possess Fang Zheng. But if my identity gets exposed and I do not manage to revive, I would need to use possession. My current target is the Refinement Path Convention, if I get into the top six, I would be able to benefit from the Infallible inheritance and get a chance to refine Gu with assured success!"The Infallible inheritance was a refinement path inheritance, what did being named infallible mean? It meant no failure in Gu refinement!Once he got into the top six places, he would be transported into a hidden blessed land, Fang Yuan planned to refine the Immortal Gu Change Form after this!This was a rank six transformation path Immortal Gu. Once he had it, Fang Yuan's vaguely familiar face would be elevated to another level, it would not be such a weak version of only concealing his regional aura.As for the Immortal Gu recipe of change form Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan already had it.This was all thanks to Lang Ya land spirit.Long ago, when Fang Yuan first obtained wisdom Gu, he had made a deal with Lang Ya land spirit to complete Immortal Gu recipes for him.Fang Yuan profited from this and not only got out of his financial troubles, he even obtained a large number of Immortal Gu recipes.And this change form Immortal Gu recipe was one of them.As for the immortal materials to refine change form Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan was almost finished in preparing them.He bought half of the immortal materials from Northern Plains' auction. For the other half, Fang Yuan asked Hei Lou Lan to connect to treasure yellow heaven using her blessed land. Fang Yuan used his remaining immortal materials to sell or trade and after many transactions, he obtained most of the ones he needed.The last remaining portion was filled by the immortal material rewards from winning the eighth round by Fang Yuan.In the subsequent rounds, Fang Yuan went on the offensive and used his rebirth advantage to defeat all of the tough foes in advance.At once, Fang Yuan's reputation was soaring, forces of all sizes, and countless Gu Immortals were focusing their gazes on him.Other people were progressing normally, staying in their own territories and advancing safely.Only Fang Yuan was an exception, moving about and challenging different people, but he won every single round!

Chapter 844. Contest Between Two Fangs | Reverend Insanity

Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, twelfth round.The competition was at its most crucial moment, the entire stage's focus was on two people.One was wearing a black robe, his body was strong and muscular, he wore a mask as he manipulated the flame in front of him, it was Fang Yuan.The other was wearing a plain white robe, his hair was white as snow and he had a tattoo on his forehead, it was Fang Huai."This is a contest between two Fangs!""Fang Huai is amazing, he used three refinement path killer moves and reduced the lead.""Even so, Fang Yuan still has the advantage. Sigh, he is too amazing, he probably is the best in quick thinking in this competition! This time, the moment the Gu refinement started, he took the lead by a huge margin.""There are still uncertainties. Both Fang Huai and Fang Yuan have one chance left in their hands. If they use it, they can remove a portion of immortal materials from the other party!"Be it on the stage or below it, audiences were discussing among themselves enthusiastically.By now, all of the other Gu Masters in this round had been eliminated, only Fang Huai and Fang Yuan were left.Fang Yuan's gaze was calm as he focused on controlling the fire in front of him."Fang Huai…" He even had the time to turn around and look at Fang Huai on his left, observing his opponent.Fang Huai was a Gu Immortal as well, he placed third in Fang Yuan's previous life. He was a wood path Gu Immortal, in the entire competition, this round's task was the most unfavorable for him.Fang Yuan used this opportunity to challenge and attempt to get rid of him in advance.But Fang Huai had gone all out in the middle to later stage, using three refinement path killer moves, among them was a refinement path immortal killer move, he pulled his distance closer to Fang Yuan in an instant. It caused the result of this Gu refinement to become uncertain again."Worthy of someone who achieved third place in my previous life, he is so hard to deal with… eh!" Fang Yuan's expression changed suddenly.The flame in front of him flickered, the blue peacock's head that had halfway been melted suddenly turned into ash and fell onto the ground."This?!" Fang Yuan's expression did not change, but his heart sank."Oh no, I happened to hit the chance of failure!" He reacted quickly, turning around and grabbing at his right side, towards the final blue peacock there.But just as he killed the blue peacock and was about to throw its head towards the fire, Fang Huai spoke: "I am using my chance to remove the Gu refinement material, blue peacock, from Fang Yuan!"The elder hosting the competition immediately responded: "Approved."The moment he said that, the blue peacock beside Fang Yuan vanished and was taken away.The crowd gasped!"Each person was given two live blue peacocks, Fang Yuan wanted to use a peacock's head to refine Gu and failed once. Right now, his only remaining blue peacock was taken away!""Beautiful, a beautiful choice. Fang Huai picked his timing really well, Fang Yuan is in trouble.""Indeed, Fang Yuan was at the last few steps, but after losing the crucial materials, he can only change the Gu recipe and take a huge detour towards the finish line. Looking at Fang Huai, he was not far behind Fang Yuan originally, right now, he should be able to catch up and eliminate Fang Yuan!""Fang Yuan is going to be eliminated?!"Noticing this point, the crowd was in a commotion.Recently, Fang Yuan went ahead and challenged many Gu refinement experts, his power was ingrained in them.The outside world had greatly raised their evaluation towards his strength, most people thought that Fang Yuan had reached the attainment of a refinement path grandmaster.A small number of people even felt that the ability Fang Yuan displayed had exceeded the level of a refinement path grandmaster, they thought he had reached refinement path quasi-great grandmaster attainment.Not mentioning refinement path grandmaster, the evaluation of him being at quasi-great grandmaster in refinement path was too absurdly high!Out of the refinement path attainment levels of ordinary, master, grandmaster, great grandmaster, and supreme grandmaster, only three people had reached the highest level in history, they were the Three Olds of refinement path, their names were Old Eccentric Tian Nan, Old Immortal Kong Jue, and Long Hair Ancestor. But even quasi-great grandmasters were very rare, among the refinement path Gu Masters publicly known in Northern Plains, there were only four at that level or higher, they were Yao Huang, Murong Xue Xiang, Lady Wan Shou, and Lady Miao Li, these were the four highest experts of refinement path in Northern Plains.In terms of refinement path attainment, it was impossible for Fang Yuan to be on the same level as them.But it was not strange that people had such thoughts.The capability that Fang Yuan displayed was simply too great, he knew all of the questions in advance, this allowed him to stay far ahead of those at second place in every round."When one walks along a river's banks, how can they not wet their shoes?. This time, Fang Yuan struck and wanted to eliminate Fang Huai, but he caused harm to himself instead, hahaha." Some people were gloating."That's right, he is too arrogant, I couldn't stand him since long ago, well done Fang Huai!""This Fang Huai is too despicable, Lord Fang Yuan, you have to hang on." Immortal Crane Sect disciples, who were watching, shouted to cheer on Fang Yuan.After Fang Yuan captured Fang Zheng, Immortal Crane Sect did not make a response, it seemed like they acknowledged this matter."Fang Yuan, I win." Fang Huai spoke with a clear smile, he was very confident, it was as if he had already grasped victory in his hands."Is that so?" Fang Yuan sneered, he grabbed with his hand and the headless peacock corpse flew towards him.There were two live blue peacocks among the Gu refinement materials, Fang Yuan killed one of them and took the head. In the end, he failed and the second peacock got taken away.Right now, the corpse that he had was left behind from the first.Fang Yuan opened his fist as a gush of thick blood colored fog burst out from his hand. In a few breaths' time, the fog covered the headless corpse entirely, bystanders could not see what was going on."This is an evil blood refinement art again!""Hmph, this is not the first time Fang Yuan has used blood refinement techniques, why is such a person an elder of Immortal Crane Sect?!""One of the ten great ancient sects, Immortal Crane Sect, is also starting to fall from grace?"Many Gu Masters exclaimed after seeing this.Some people even shouted: "Why is such a person not on the Demon Judgment Board?"Fang Yuan used blood refinement techniques time and time again in public, Immortal Crane Sect was facing strong public criticism."What do you know? Blood refinement is just blood refinement, it is only a technique. If used in the hands of righteousness, it is righteous, when used in the hands of evil, it is evil! It all depends on oneself!" An Immortal Crane Sect disciple was indignant, he rebuked loudly.But the elder that brought them scolded him loudly: "Quiet, do not spout nonsense!"This disciple could only lower his head and sit down quietly and resentfully.In just a while, the blood colored fog faded, and the headless peacock corpse shrunk by twenty percent. But a blue peacock head had appeared instead."This is a blood path Gu refinement killer move, it is so amazing, able to collect corpses and transform the material.""This kind of material conversion can be done in other paths too, but isn't his rate of conversion too fast?"Everyone's gazes were fixed on this.Fang Yuan tossed this peacock head into the fire, as the fire burned, the peacock head started to melt, the molten head fusing into the incomplete Gu that was in the fire.A moment later, the bird head melted and fused into the incomplete Gu fully, Fang Yuan went to the next step."It is as good as over." Seeing this, some people sighed."That's right, the last few steps have no risks, without any mishaps, Fang Yuan will be the winner.""The failure earlier was just an unexpected surprise, it had a low probability and will likely never happen again.""Sigh, to think that Fang Huai could not stop Fang Yuan either."Just as everyone was sighing, Fang Huai laughed loudly inwardly: "This is the way, this is the way, you think you've won, huh. I took away your blue peacock, the objective to waste your time has been achieved. With my final refinement path killer move, I can surpass you and become the winner of this round. Fang Yuan, I need to thank you, you approached me personally, once I defeat you, it would be like I defeated everyone that you defeated. Hahaha, this is great!"But just at this moment, Fang Yuan spoke: "I want to use a chance and remove one of my opponent's materials."The hosting elder immediately replied: "Please speak."Fang Huai was slightly shocked but he soon smiled coldly to himself, thinking: "Remove it, remove whatever you want!"Fang Yuan took a look at Fang Huai as his gaze was calm as water: "I will remove the Gu refinement material, wild bull eyeball."Fang Huai's cold smile froze!The hosting elder was stunned too.The audience was confused, didn't Fang Huai already use the crucial material, wild bull eyeball, and fuse it into his incomplete Gu?Fang Yuan wanted to take away a Gu refinement material that had already been used, this was not allowed by the rules.But Fang Yuan was insistent on it, he said to Fang Huai: "Fang Huai, are you not handing over the wild bull eyeball that you are secretly hiding? Are you trying to break the rules of the competition?"Fang Huai's face showed extreme disbelief.He hid the wild bull eyeball using his unique technique, Fang Yuan actually sensed it? Wild bull eyeball was an important Gu refinement material, Fang Huai had long ago during the refinement made preparations for it and the refinement path killer move that would bring him victory relied on it.Without the wild bull eyeball, Fang Huai would not have the necessary components, how could he defeat Fang Yuan?But if he did not take it out, he could not hide it from anyone else anyway.Even if he could, if Fang Yuan raised an objection, the Refinement Path Convention would undergo a thorough search, Fang Huai's reputation would be ruined!Thus, Fang Huai had to take it out regardless of his intentions!Under everyone's shocked gazes, he gritted his teeth as he took out the wild bull eyeball from the fire."Here!" He smashed the wild bull eyeball on the ground in rage, he scattered the Gu refinement flame as he walked away.This was the same as admitting his defeat.The crowd was silent before bursting into a commotion.Fang Yuan ignored these voices, he refined the Gu worms in his hands unhurriedly until he obtained success."I finally won, this way, there should be no problem in getting top six." Fang Yuan was bathed in everyone's shock, admiration, praise, and envy, but he had no expression as he let out a breath of cloudy air: "Thankfully, I had my previous life's memories, I knew about Fang Huai's trump card, otherwise, he might have won!"He looked like he had an easy time, but he actually faced great pressure internally.He was only a refinement path quasi-grandmaster, even with the advantage of rebirth, it was very difficult to eliminate these competitors.The case of Firesmith Dragon Chief was only an exception.Though Fang Yuan managed to beat these people, it was not like what the outside world was saying, that he 'had an easy time', or he 'had huge superiority'.

Chapter 845. Failure Has Value | Reverend Insanity

Central Continent, Heavenly Court.The sky was clear and bright. Countless exquisite halls made of white jade emitted translucent light.A rank eight Gu Immortal, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, slowly pushed open the large door of the discussion hall.He walked into the hall while leaning on a walking cane.In an instant, the wills of over twenty Gu Immortals inside the hall turned towards him."Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, you have worked hard for the last hundred years…""After completing this segment of fixing fate Gu, please take a good rest. Heavenly Court needs a senior expert like you.""There aren't any unexpected situations in this Refinement Path Convention, right?"The Gu Immortals' wills started talking, breaking the silence.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord opened his cloudy eyes and looked around, before fixing his gaze on a will seated at a high position.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord spoke: "Lian Jiu Sheng, you should awaken. The current Refinement Path Convention is reaching its end, we still need some preparations for the recovery of Fate."Lian Jiu Sheng's will nodded as he slowly stood up.He then spoke: "To restore Fate, it won't be possible with just myself and Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, we still need the power of two rank eights. I wonder which friends will lend a hand?""My main body is suppressing the immemorial desolate beast group in Falling Heavenly River, I am unable to help.""My physical body has rested for long enough, but my soul is researching a rank nine Immortal Gu recipe and is at the crucial moment…""Let me help, maybe this time, I can find several portions of profound eerie wind in the underground depths."The wills communicated for a while, finally two wills decided to wake up."It's decided then." Lian Jiu Sheng's will nodded towards Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord, before soaring to the sky.Following him were other two wills.These three wills flew into the sky, towards the entrance leading outside, before vanishing from everyone's sight.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord turned around to leave, the door to the discussion hall slowly closed behind him.Three days later.Central Continent, Hairy Foot Mountain.Four figures suddenly appeared in the air above Hairy Foot Mountain.They completely concealed their rank eight auras as they looked down at the mountain below.It was the four Gu Immortals from Heavenly Court!"Hairy Foot Mountain…" The white haired man with a young appearance, Lian Jiu Sheng, sighed: "Unknowingly, another hundred years have passed in Central Continent.""Let's start quickly. I am pressed for time during this period of awakening, I still have many things to do." Bi Chen Tian who had red eyebrows and green pupils, urged."Alright, let me start this off." Bai Cang Shui was the only female immortal among the four. She stretched out her hands, instantly, white fog started rising slowly in the surroundings.Immediately afterwards, Bi Chen Tian opened his eyes, emitting two bright pillars of light that shot straight at Hairy Foot Mountain.Hairy Foot Mountain looked ordinary, it was small and lacked resources, even the surrounding small to middle sized forces did not want to occupy it. However, right now, it looked mystical as it shined under the immortal killer move of Bi Chen Tian.Space fluctuated intensely, creating countless ripples.The entirety of Hairy Foot Mountain shook slightly.Bi Chen Tian's attacking immortal killer move had terrifying might, but was not the least bit effective right now.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord was the third to make a move, after which was Lian Jiu Sheng at the end.Four rank eight Gu Immortals were working together, but it was still far from enough. The Gu Immortals already had an estimate, thus they continued to undertake a second round of attacks, a third round.Finally, at the sixth round, Lian Jiu Sheng cried out and dealt the crucial blow, he triggered a qualitative change, producing an effect.Hairy Foot Mountain disappeared from its spot, and a blessed land opened up in front of the four Gu Immortals."This is Infallible blessed land, which holds the Infallible inheritance!" Lian Jiu Sheng sighed as he spoke.Bi Chen Tian looked several times, speaking with a smile: "There are more mortal failure Gu than the previous time, it seems the scale of the Refinement Path Convention is becoming bigger and bigger."Bai Cang Shui took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead: "Every time, we have to spend so much energy to open this place. Lian Jiu Sheng, can't you completely take down this blessed land?""It is difficult, you are also aware that the owner of this blessed land is a refinement path great expert who made things difficult for Ren Zu." Lian Jiu Sheng sighed.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord nodded: "Heavenly Court has made moves against this blessed land for thousands of years but even until now, we could only take out thirty success dao marks. Every time the infallible inheritance accumulates to the limit, it will have thirty-six success dao marks. We have taken away thirty, which leaves behind six dao marks for those participants of the Refinement Path Convention, and even if we want to seize these, we can't."Lian Jiu Sheng added: "This blessed land is extremely special, it is perfectly enclosed and has no entrances at all. It is not that we cannot break open this blessed land, but if we forcibly cause mayhem, it will be hard to reproduce the wonders of this blessed land. Under this restraint, we can only proceed this way. To capture this blessed land, we not only need refinement path Gu Immortals but also rule path great experts. Unfortunately, whether it be refinement path or rule path, there are extremely few who can cultivate to rank eight."The four were silent for a while, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord spoke: "Fortunately, after restoring fate Gu this time, it will be able to display fifty percent of its might. This is a qualitative change compared to before! From now on, we can search for even more fate escapees, and restore the Immortal Gu even faster.""Speaking of which, how many escapees did you discover this time? Have you already dealt with them?" Bi Chen Tian asked.Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord replied: "I discovered several, I cannot do anything against those in Southern Border and Northern Plains, but the two over here in Central Continent are already being dealt with."<the legends of ren zu> states, after Ren Zu climbed the giant tree and walked out of ordinary abyss, he left behind his daughter, Boundless Forest Samsara.Ren Zu wanted to save her, but there was nothing he could do.He had become extraordinary, no longer able to enter ordinary abyss.Ren Zu saw that pacing around this place was not going to help. He decided to set out again to find a way to rescue his eldest child, Verdant Great Sun, and his fourth child, Boundless Forest Samsara.He started a new journey, beginning his road of life.On this day, he came across a hairy man.The hairy man stopped him, and was clearly happy: "Ren Zu, I had a tough time looking for you."Ren Zu felt strange: "I don't recognize you, why are you searching for me?"The hairy man explained: "It is like this, Ren Zu. I am the leader of all the hairy men in the world, no hairy man can match my Gu refinement attainment. But I have recently encountered a problem when refining Gu. I want to refine success Gu, but I am unable to confirm if it is success or failure."Ren Zu had wanted to continue traveling, but he had a thought well up in his mind, if the hairy man leader could truly refine success Gu and he borrowed this Gu, couldn't he rescue his eldest child or his fourth child?Therefore, Ren Zu stopped and talked with the hairy man: "But what do you need from me?"The hairy man cautiously took out a Gu.This Gu resembled an ordinary rock and was covered with a thick layer of hair, the hairy man spoke: "I do not dare to break it. If it is success Gu, that is fine. But if it is failure Gu, the moment I break it, I will completely lose my sense of self. But Ren Zu, you are different. You are walking on a path that solely belongs to you, this means you have self Gu. Since you have self Gu, even if you break the failure Gu, you will not lose your self. So I want to request you to appraise it."Ren Zu was happy: "So it is like that. I can help you, but if it is success Gu, please give it to me. I have an urgent need for it."The hairy man said: "Alright! That is no problem."Ren Zu touched the Gu worm in front of him. He made a wish upon this Gu: "Please return my fourth child, Boundless Forest Samsara, to my side."At the next moment, the Gu worm crumbled."Failure." The hairy man was dejected: "It seems I refined a failure Gu."Courage Gu on Ren Zu flew out: "Ren Zu, you are a failure. I am leaving you."Courage Gu left Ren Zu and flew away.The hairy man, however, was invigorated: "It doesn't matter, I can improve the Gu recipe. Ren Zu, wait a moment, I will refine it again."Ren Zu wanted to chase after courage Gu and take it back, but he had an even greater desire for success Gu to rescue his children.He thought for a moment, and decided to wait for the hairy man leader to refine the Gu.The hairy man refined the second Gu and gave it to Ren Zu for inspection.Ren Zu touched the Gu and made a wish, the Gu worm crumbled again."Another failure Gu." The hairy man sighed in dejection.Faith Gu on Ren Zu flew out: "Ren Zu, you are a failure, you are not worthy of me."Faith Gu also left Ren Zu.Ren Zu stamped his foot, and wanted to chase after it, but the hairy man tugged him: "Don't be in a hurry, I have thought it through, this time I can definitely refine success Gu!"Faith Gu had already flown far away, Ren Zu realized he could not catch up to it, and said with a sigh: "Hairy man, refine it quickly, this is the last time I am trusting you."The hairy man's third Gu worm was still the failure Gu.Strength Gu also flew out: "Ren Zu, you are a failure, you are unworthy of possessing me."Strength Gu flew away, Ren Zu felt bitter as he knew chasing after it would not give any result, so he could only gaze as strength Gu flew far away.However, right at this time, self Gu in his heart suddenly flew out and bit strength Gu.Strength Gu shrieked and flew even faster as a piece of it was bitten away. It soon disappeared like a streak of smoke.Ren Zu and the hairy man watched with stupefied expressions.Self Gu leisurely flew back, and said proudly to Ren Zu: "Any failure has its value. Ren Zu, I went through repeated failures and absorbed them to become stronger. Just now, I took a bite of strength Gu; from now on, you will have your own strength! I can still become stronger, I can devour any Gu worms to possess all their strength!"Ren Zu was shocked.The hairy man leader slapped his thigh, shouting: "I know how to refine success Gu, it is through failures. The more failures there are, the closer I will be to success! I understand, I understand now."He shouted happily as he rushed away, leaving Ren Zu behind.…According to the research of the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals, this Infallible blessed land was the possession of the hairy man leader. Hairy Foot Mountain was the place where the hairy man leader had once resided.After his death, the hairy man leader left behind an inheritance.It was to gather other people's failures and refine them into mortal failure Gu. As the mortal Gu increased in numbers, they would then condense into success dao marks.After Heavenly Court discovered this, they captured the blessed land and used it as the foundation to develop and urge the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention to help the Infallible inheritance quickly accumulate mortal failure Gu. They will then use the gathered success dao marks to restore fate Gu.This was the origin of it all.
