    Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral


    A bunch of short red eggmen encircled Fang Yuan, attacking constantly.


    "Eh? Is this devil a fool, why is he not moving?"


    "If only all devils were such fools, that would be great!"


    "Do not let your guard down, devils are extremely crafty, quickly kill him."


    Seeing Fang Yuan about to die, the red eggmen cheered victoriously.


    But at this moment, a formless energy descended and swept Fang Yuan away!


    Falling into encirclement, the dying and unconsciously Fang Yuan vanished without a trace, leaving behind a bunch of shocked red eggmen.


    When Fang Yuan woke up from his slumber, the scenery before him waspletely different than before.


    This was a dark blue colored hall.


    The hall was extremely in, made withrge cube bronze blocks. There were a lot of moss on the blocks, showing how long they have already existed.


    Fang Yuanid on the center of the hall, feeling the chill from the bronze block under his back.


    "I’ve already healed your injuries." Arge tortoise opened its wrinkled eyes slowly, staring at Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan slowly got up from the ground, first touching his own body, his injuries were truly healed.


    Next, he looked around the hall in a calm expression.


    Lastly, he turned his gaze over towards the huge tortoise before him.


    This huge tortoise wasrge as a house, a thick and hard jade thin shell on its back. Its four legs were like elephant legs, and there were two dragon whiskers growing out of its face.


    Fang Yuan looked at this huge tortoise, his lips curling into a smile, as his smile turned intoughter.


    "Hahaha..." Hisughter echoed in the hall.


    He purposely courted death, not even using the Spring Autumn Cicada, it was all because of his previous life’s knowledge and information, there was a huge risk involved. It could be said, one wrong move and game over . But a demonic cultivator moved forward relentlessly, they were most skilled at all-in gambles. Right now, Fang Yuan reached the main hall, and his risks had all paid off.


    Afterughing heartily, Fang Yuan stoppedughing, facing the huge tortoise: "Land spirit Ba Gui, you finally awakened from your slumber."


    "You know me?" The huge tortoise’s voice created vibrations as there was some suspicion in its eyes.


    "That’s right, I know you, and I also know the secret of this blessednd." Fang Yuan nodded, walking in the hall with his hands behind his back.


    "This blessednd originated from an ancient strength path Gu Immortal. The Gu Immortal protected the blessednd, resisting cmities and tribtions, but eventually, he died in one of the tribtions. His dying wish gathered with this blessednd’s heavenly power, formed thend spirit. That is you, Ba Gui. As long as Iplete his wish before he died, I can be the new owner of this blessednd, am I right about that?"


    Fang Yuan spoke openly, not beating about the bush.


    Although thend spirit is formed from the Gu Immortal, it is no longer human, but merely the immortal’s will.


    Using an exnation from Earth, that would be, a preprogrammed AI 1 .


    As long as thend spirit’s requirement is met, one can gain its recognition and be the new owner of the blessednd.


    Thus, when Fang Yuan spoke, there was no need for any schemes or plots.


    The huge tortoise nodded: "That’s right, his final wish before dying is also the blessednd’s test. As long as you canplete it, you can be my master."


    "And the contents of this wish, is to refine the second aperture Gu right?" Fang Yuan followed.


    During ancient times, strength path flourished, eight out of ten Gu Masters walked the strength path.


    This blessednd’s original master, was a strength path Gu Immortal, he created the recipe for second aperture Gu. But right before the crucial step, he died in a tribtion.


    After he died, this final obsession became thend spirit.


    That is, the huge tortoise before Fang Yuan now.


    Toplete this wish, the huge tortoise had been waiting aimlessly. But time passed, and no one that fulfilled the criteria showed up.


    This fated person, had to be a strength path Gu Master, owned beast phantoms, and also strong to a degree.


    Next, this strength path Gu Master had to be on the brink of death to receive this opportunity.


    This is because, the blessednd’s previous owner had a lot of lingering grudge and hatred, refusing to let others gain his fortune so easily.


    But he still wanted to refine the second aperture Gu, thus there was such a requirement for the fated person to be as close to death as possible, just like him. Only someone who had shared his emotion could be qualified to gain everything.


    But time passed, and the cmities and tribtions continued to ur.


    Thend spirit Ba Gui could not find a suitable strength path Gu Master.


    To preserve its immortal essence, it could only choose to slumber helplessly.


    The wide and huge blessednd, after many cmities and tribtions, had shrunk to less than one percent of its original size.


    One cmity was enough to puncture a thousand holes in the blessednd.


    Thus, there was a hole created, and a path to the outside world was connected to the blessednd.


    Three roaming kids came here and relied on the blessednd’s resources to cultivate to fruition. These were the three kings of the demonic path.


    After the three kings got their revenge, they returned to the blessednd to live.


    As time passed, they got more familiar with the blessednd and were a step away from rank six.


    But in the end, none of them broke through and before dying, they remodelled the ce into the three kings inheritance ground.


    The three kings walked on the refinement, fire, and envement path, none was a strength path Gu Master.


    The moment the remodelling began, thend spirit was woken up.


    It watched silently without stopping them. It wanted to use this inheritance to attract qualified strength path Gu Masters as well.


    When the three kings inheritance opened, countless Gu Masters entered, and increased the blessednd’s immortal essence expenditure. As the blessednd faced the risk of destruction, the huge tortoise awakened from its slumber.


    After waking up, the first thing thend spirit did was to find the fated person.


    In the entire blessednd, there were many strength path Gu Masters. But those who fulfilled its requirements were none.


    In ancient times, strength path was mainstream. But now that times have changed, strength path was eliminated, on the brink of extinction. Those who truly cultivated strength path to a high level, were even rarer.


    Hearing Fang Yuan talk about the second aperture Gu, thend spirit Ba Gui was stunned: "You know a lot."


    It felt strange, but did not pursue the matter.


    To it, the fated person had already been found, now the next target was to refine the second aperture Gu.


    However, it was not easy to refine second aperture Gu.


    That is because, second aperture Gu was not a mortal Gu, it was a rank six Immortal Gu!


    But Fang Yuan was already mentally prepared, directly asking: "Second aperture Gu is a rank six Gu. Rank five is mortal, rank six is immortal! To refine an Immortal Gu, the most basic condition is immortal essence! In the blessednd, how much immortal essence is left?"


    The tortoise turned its body, gazing deep within the hall.


    The flooring cracked open, as a hole appeared, and a bronze cauldron rose slowly. Eventually, the flooring closed up, leaving the cauldron alone in the hall.


    This cauldron had three legs and two handles, it was filled with immortal essence inside.


    The immortal essence was a greenish water, crystal clear and giving off a rusty smell.


    There was very little immortal essence, only a thinyer left in the cauldron, and as time flowed, it slowly decreased drop by drop.


    This is because, after the blessednd opened, countless Gu Masters explored, and entered and left multiple times, expending immortal essence.


    "But this is already much better than in my previous life. As long as I ration it properly..." Fang Yuan looked at thisyer of immortal essence, thinking deeply, as sparks seemed to be flying above his head.


    In his previous life, after the three kings inheritance opened, thend spirit waited but did not meet its fated owner.


    Only towards the end of the inheritance did thend spirit find a suitable, dying strength path Gu Master and transported him in.


    This lucky person was a demonic path member, surviving the ordeal and benefitting from the crisis.


    However, he was very poor at refining Gu worms, when he started the refinement process, he died.


    Towards the end, Gu Masters had a great understanding of the three kings inheritance, and knew when to advance and retreat. They all had some trump cards or tokens to preserve their lives, and could easily leave at will.


    Towards the end, the blessednd could not sustain it much more, and Gu Masters could freely use their Gu worms, fighting and causing bloodshed.


    Where there are battles, there are deaths and injuries.


    Thend spirit found a chance, and chose a few strength path Gu Masters from among them.


    But by then, it was already toote. There was a severeck of immortal essence, and thend spirit was severely weakened, unable to do anything.


    In the end, the blessednd continued to break down, as Gu Masters found this hall. Arriving here, they battled with thend spirit, and killed the strength path Gu Master who was refining the Gu.


    Only then did they know, that San Cha mountain’s blessednd held such a secret.


    But at that time, immortal essence was expended, and thend spirit was dead, the Gu refinement ended in utter failure.


    The legendary second aperture Gu, became extinct before the first one was even created.


    "Second aperture Gu, allowing a Gu Master to have a second aperture. Even an idiot would know the value of this Gu! I have A grade aptitude now, one aperture holds ny percent primeval essence. If I have the second aperture Gu, I would have a hundred and eighty percent primeval essence. At the same time, I can have double the primeval essence recovery speed, and even a second set of Gu worms. My battle strength will surge, and create history for myself. Once I seed, I will definitely be the strongest person among the same rank!"


    Fang Yuan was secretly excited.


    But to refine this Immortal Gu, the process was really difficult, it would not be an easy task. Even Tie Mu Bai would feel stunned at this.


    But to Fang Yuan, it was another situation all together.


    Firstly, he was a rank six Gu Immortal in his past life who used the Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth, he also seeded in refining the Spring Autumn Cicada, he had the precious experience of creating an Immortal Gu.


    Secondly, ever since the three kings inheritance opened, he had been plotting.


    He challenged strength path Gu Masters everywhere, eliminating hispetition. Xue San Si, Century Boy, they were all chosen by thend spirit in his previous life, but now, they died in Fang Yuan’s hands.


    Lastly, he had the help of thend spirit.


    In his previous life, thend spirit was already very weak when he saw the first lucky person. Towards the end, it was so feeble it got killed by a bunch of mortals.


    But this life was different!


    Fang Yuan approached death purposely,ing here in advance, he would receive great help from thend spirit.


    "Back then, that Gu Immortal had made ample preparations to refine this Gu. With such a foundation, I have at least fifty percent chance of seeding in this refinement.


    Back when Fang Yuan refined Spring Autumn Cicada, he had less than twenty percent chance of seeding. Now that he was refining the second aperture Gu, he had fifty percent, it was extremely high!
