<h4>Chapter 610: The key to victory and loss</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>ChibiGeneral <strong>Editor: </strong>ChibiGeneral
When a Gu Master advances to an immortal, their aperture will transform into an immortal aperture.
The immortal aperture is a qualitative evolution of the aperture, it is like the creation of a whole new small world.
Rank six and seven Gu Immortal apertures were known as ‘blessednds’. Rank eight and nine Gu Immortal apertures were called ‘grotto-heavens’.
If a Gu Immortal’s lingering obsession was left behind when they died, it wouldbine with the heavenly power inside the immortal aperture and be thend spirit.
Every immortal aperture is unique, it is a part of the Gu Immortal’s body. In some ways, even if a Gu Immortal dies, thend spirit and immortal aperture that they leave behind could still be considered a strange form of life extension for them.
Precisely because thend spirit is formed from obsession, it is rigid and not flexible.
In history, there were many such cases. For example, if a Gu Immortal forcefully takes down a blessednd, but did not meet the requirements to be the owner, thend spirit would reject them, in the end, thend spirit may directly self-detonate, causing the Gu Immortal’s efforts to be for nothing.
Giant Sun’s will forcefully sealed Imperial Court blessednd’s Frost Jade Peacock, this had umted hundreds of thousands of years of anger in thetter. Now that he wanted to continue sealing it, Frost Jade Peacock’s resolute heart was finally ignited.
“What is going on?”
“Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s immortal ascension caused a loophole to form in the blessednd?”
“Imperial Court blessednd is currently being exposed to the outside world, this is unbelievable, this has never happened in the past!!”
“This is bad, I have a very bad feeling. Do you think the blessednd is going to be destroyed?”
In the blessednd, everyone was shouting in fear, they were panicking and their doubts were spreading.
In the sky, countless cracks were formed. The sky of the blessednd, which was silver and gold, had lots of cracks now, from these cracks, one could see the starry sky of northern ins.
Fang Yuan’s gaze was still calm as ever.
“Imperial Court blessednd would not self-destruct so easily.” He muttered in his heart, regarding this he was extremely confident.
In history, there were many cases of thend spirit suiciding, destroying the blessednd along with them, but that was not going to happen here.
This was Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s arrangement, how could it be broken so easily? This was the hard work of a rank nine Gu Immortal, this set-up covered the entire region of northern ins!
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the biggest obstacle.
“If this was in the past, how could thend spirit cause such trouble? Except that now, Giant Sun’s will had just awakened, he was caught off guard and had to waste time to resolve this mess. Meanwhile, the seal that imprisoned thend spirit had weakened drastically because of my gruel mud Immortal Gu, this allowed thend spirit to struggle so violently.”
In his analysis, Fang Yuan could not help but internally praise Giant Sun’s resolution and methods.
He had used the chess piece Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and with his limited methods, he managed to fight for precious time and allow the scales of victory to tilt towards himself.
“However, even though thend spirit cannot self-destruct, it could still do the most basic thing like absorbing its own heaven and earth qi.”
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan directed his gaze towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Above Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s head, the scattered tribtion cloud formed once again, and the cmity dust on the ground also started spreading.
Large amounts of heaven qi and earth qi gushed out, they were about to form a new heavenly tribtion and earthly cmity!
“This, what is going on? Why are there still heavenly tribtions and earthly cmities?! Wasn’t it over already?” Seeing this, Ye Lui Sang’s eyes were wide open in shock.
“This is different from what is in the records. There is something strange going on with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, why are there two heavenly tribtions and earthly cmities in a row?” Hei Lou Lan was very confused as well.
Even they had no idea, not to mention the others.
Looking at the imposing heavenly tribtion and earthly cmity forming once again, many people were lost for words as they felt very worried regarding Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s situation.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s expression was ashen.
“Why is there still a heavenly tribtion forming?! My inheritance did not state that this would happen!” He was shocked and furious.
Because not just on the outside, at the same time, the immortal aperture inside his body was also forming another heavenly tribtion and earthly cmity!
When a mortal Gu bes an Immortal Gu, it is like a Gu Master bing an immortal, it is a dangerous process to make a qualitative change that defied heaven. When Gu worms were refined into Immortal Gu, they would need to involve heaven and earth qi, this way, the corresponding heavenly tribtions and earthly cmities would form.
Being faced with trouble both internally and externally, Tai Bai Yun Sheng could neither advance nor retreat, he could not attend to one problem while neglecting the other, his situation was very worrying!
Fang Yuan used the gruel mud Immortal Gu to awaken thend spirit.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s immortal ascension became a crucial chess piece in the fight between thend spirit and Giant Sun’s will.
This immortal ascension had already gone out of his control.
Other than Fang Yuan, everyone else was kept in the dark, they were unaware of the truth.
Only Fang Yuan knew thend spirit’s intention!
In a race against time, thend spirit could notpete with Giant Sun’s will, thus it ced its attention on Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
The heaven qi and earth qi were extracted by sacrificing thend spirit’s own foundation. Its intention was to form the heavenly tribtion and earthly cmity that would destroy Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
What benefits would thend spirit gain from killing him?
This would involve the devouring of the immortal aperture.
Mortal apertures were not easy to devour andbine, but after ascending to immortal, the immortal aperture was a small world. Between worlds, they could be devoured and assimted, there were great benefits to Gu Immortals.
On Tian Ti mountain back then, Fang Yuan discarded a portion of Hu Immortal blessednd’s territory, which were quickly taken by the other Gu Immortals. Swallowing other immortal apertures and strengthening one’s own immortal aperture, there was much to gain from this.
If thend spirit destroyed Tai Bai Yun Sheng, after he dies, his immortal aperture would remain. It would then be absorbed and assimted by Imperial Court blessednd.
After devouring the aperture, the blessednd’s foundation would rise, and thend spirit would be much stronger. This would be a great help for it to break through Giant Sun’s seal.
In the sky, dark clouds were rumbling as lightning and thunder resounded.
Countless purple lightning bolts formed into balls of lightning.
On the ground, the cmity dust settled down, exposing the bare earth.
A crack formed on the ground, it was hundreds of meters wide, exposing red hot mes from within, it resembled a deste beast opening its bloodthirsty mouth.
The mes rose up, forming many traces of restraining smoke as they gushed up.
“Chaotic lightning balls, restraining smoke!” Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
The chaotic lightning balls not only had great power, they could even ruin the Gu Master’s mind and will, inducing a chaotic effect. Restraining smoke could seal away the environment, as long as the Gu Master was trapped within, they would lose their five senses, like falling into a maze or an abyss, they would not be able to get free.
Chaotic lightning balls were not fast, but together with the suppression from restraining smoke, they were perfect partners and could unleash the greatest effect!
Fang Yuan could not help but feel some worry.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s failure was not what Fang Yuan wanted to see.
Holding the ss owner token in his hand, Fang Yuan tightened his grasp as his gaze turned dark: “Still too weak, too weak! With my current strength, I am very heavily affected by circumstances...”
Howl, howl, howl!
The chaotic lightning balls flew through the air, emitting a strange and shrill noise. They sounded like a woman screaming and crying at the same time, it was very painful to the ears.
At the same time, the restraining smoke was rumbling, surging towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s expression turned pale.
The chaotic lightning balls changed their directions randomly, sometimes they traveled right, sometimes left, it was hard to dodge them. Furthermore, there were traces of restraining smoke around him, like he was in the middle of an ancient forest.
“If Ie into contact with the restraining smoke, I’ll be finished! Oh no, the heavenly tribtion and earthly cmity in my immortal aperture is also forming, moreover I have already lost my defensive Gu!” Tai Bai Yun Sheng gritted his teeth, his gaze was shining with resolution.
Risk it!
His body gave off a shining light, using several movement Gu, his body flew into the air.
The intense wind blew this old man’s hair towards the back, showing an unrestrained demeanour.
Shocked screams could be hearding from the crowd.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng charged towards the tribtion cloud, above him, there were countless chaotic lightning balls, looking from afar, he was like a moth flying towards a fire.
“Is Tai Bai Yun Sheng seeking death?” Ye Lui Sang frowned deeply.
“Good!” Hei Lou Lan, however, gave high praise.
Fang Yuan’s eyes also shone.
Restraining smoke might seem harmless without any attack power and could only trap enemies, but it held much greater threat than the chaotic lightning balls.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng understood the situation and made the best decision.
Only to see that after he charged into the thunder cloud, countless lightning balls shot down like fish swimming in water.
Bam bam bam...
The lightning balls continued to explode, but it did not affect Tai Bai Yun Sheng at all.
He flew left and right, trying to find a survival chance in the barrage of attacks, his movement speed was fast at times and slow at others, he had great control over the situation!
“Amazing! What level of flying attainment is this!”
“To think that Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng is actually a flying master!!”
“He hid himself too deeply, I only found out now...”
Everyone was overjoyed to find out that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a flying master!
“To think that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was skilled at using cloud path Gu worms.” Ye Lui Sang praised, he was not very surprised at the disy of flying.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a healing Gu Master, these years when he roamed northern ins, he had encountered many dangers. He had to have a secret ability in order to survive till now.
In truth, most healing Gu Masters were either skilled in defense or movement.
When these Gu Masters were nurtured, they were specially trained in this manner.
That was because in the battlefield, healing Gu Masters were usually the first to be targeted, many times they could not receive protection from their teammates. Thus, healing Gu Masters needed to have certain ways to protect themselves.
“As the number one healing Gu Master in northern ins, Tai Bai Yun Sheng is not skilled in defense, with his age, it is no wonder he has such flying attainment.” Hei Lou Lan thought about this and turned his head, looking at the sky far away.
There, Fang Yuan seated on the azure wolf king’s back, observing Tai Bai Yun Sheng closely.
Compared to Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Chang Shan Yin who was also a flying master was much younger.
“Little sparrow, you are really enjoying yourself.” In True Yang Building, Giant Sun’s willughed instead of raging.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was shaking intensely, the aurora was wavering in the sky as a huge pir of light shot out.
Immortal Gu — Divert Disaster!
The light of Divert Disaster shone around Tai Bai Yun Sheng, piercing through the lightning balls and restraining smoke.
“Old ancestor is really blessing Tai Bai Yun Sheng, he struck once again!” Amidst the shocked screams, there were jealous and envious people too.
“This is too weird, Tai Bai Yun Sheng is not part of Giant Sun’s bloodline, to think he could receive such blessings as well!” Someone was suspicious.
“As expected, he struck.” Fang Yuan sighed internally, Tai Bai Yun Sheng had already be a crucial factor in the contest between thend spirit and Giant Sun’s will, thend spirit wanted to harm him, while Giant Sun’s will wanted to protect him!
