Snow Beard Ancestor unleashed the full extent of his fighting prowess — the number one Eighth Transformation powerhouse of the Northern Plains!
His might surged like a tidal wave, shaking the heavens and splitting the earth. His momentum was vast and terrifying, striking gods pale and ghosts trembling with fear!
"Snow Beard Ancestor truly lives up to his reputation as the Northern Plains' foremost expert!" Bi Chentian had been utterly demoralized.
When a master strikes, the difference is unmistakable. After only a brief exchange with Snow Beard Ancestor, Bi Chentian already knew he was no match for the old man!
The Jiaolian Camp trembled continuously under Snow Beard Ancestor's overwhelming onslaught, its defenses threatening to buckle under the strain.
"Unfortunately, Snow Beard Ancestor, you stand alone — while our side has two Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals." Wei Lingyang smirked coldly and said to Bi Chentian, "Leave this place to me."
Bi Chentian immediately transmitted his voice back: "Don't worry, I can hold! If things look bad, I'll call you back."
Wei Lingyang made his move, slipping secretly out of the Jiaolian Camp.
On his own, he would have found it nearly impossible to resist the power of the Reverse Fate Sacrifice Formation. But at this moment, the formation was channeling the vast majority of its strength toward defending the Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land — their very foundation — so the pressure on Wei Lingyang had dropped dramatically. He was confident that, using his own abilities alone, he could reach the various snow peaks.
Because he was a Law Path Gu Immortal.
Law Path held an enormous advantage in this particular regard.
Though Snow Beard Ancestor was stronger than Wei Lingyang overall, in this area, he fell short.
But Wei Lingyang had barely covered half the distance when Snow Beard Ancestor's powerful tracking killer move detected his trail.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Snow Beard Ancestor roared, sweeping his arm wide.
In an instant, a boundless blizzard erupted from nowhere. Heaven and earth changed color, all living things fell silent, and the storm swallowed Wei Lingyang whole.
Wei Lingyang's plan was thwarted, but he didn't lose heart. He immediately changed direction, determined to break through Snow Beard Ancestor's blockade and coordinate with Bi Chentian in a textbook pincer assault!
Lady Wanshou watched with cold sweat drenching her entire body. In this moment, she had abandoned all thought of refining Gu — her full attention consumed by this crucial battle.
If Snow Beard Ancestor won, everything would be fine — and whatever wasn't fine could be made right.
If Snow Beard Ancestor lost, it was all over. Every last effort would dissolve into nothing.
Though Snow Beard Ancestor's combat power was extraordinary, Wei Lingyang and Bi Chentian were both Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, and they also had the Immortal Gu House, Jiaolian Camp. The Reverse Fate Sacrifice Formation, meanwhile, could offer only limited assistance against opponents of Snow Beard Ancestor's caliber.
Wei Lingyang's attempt to split off for a surprise attack undoubtedly drained an enormous amount of Snow Beard Ancestor's attention, preventing the old man from unleashing his full strength without reservation.
"If one of those Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals manages to reach the snow peaks, the consequences would be catastrophic!" Lady Wanshou's face was etched with worry.
At this very moment, the Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land stood at the precipice of life and death!
"Lady Wanshou, I have a way to solve your current crisis." Just then, a message arrived directly in Lady Wanshou's immortal orifice.
"What?!" Lady Wanshou was greatly startled.
The Gu insect delivering the message was one she had always kept stored in her immortal orifice, never once using it.
Many years ago, when Lady Wanshou had only recently become a Gu Immortal.
Deep within a cavern.
"So there is already a senior present. This junior will leave at once — I wouldn't dare disturb you in collecting this True Inheritance." Lady Wanshou felt the overwhelming aura of the mysterious Gu Immortal before her, and her heart raced with terror.
But the mysterious Gu Immortal replied: "Little girl, you've managed to become a Gu Immortal at such a young age, and you have the self-awareness to know your place — knowing when to advance and when to retreat. Very good. I myself am unable to collect this True Inheritance; I don't qualify. I'm willing to hand it directly over to you. However, after you inherit the True Inheritance, you must allow me to browse through its contents. And you will owe me a favor — in the future, if the need arises, you must help anyone who uses this information-path Gu insect to send a message."
Lady Wanshou considered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
She actually had no other choice.
If she refused, with her level of cultivation alone, she probably wouldn't have made it out alive.
Rather than that, she might as well take a gamble.
"Excellent. Come — let us forge a pact." The mysterious Gu Immortal stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
...
This scene from the past flashed rapidly through Lady Wanshou's mind.
She immediately responded: "May I ask — is the visitor also interested in the Lucky Heaven Gu?"
The Gu insect quickly transmitted a reply: "Haha, it seems Lady Wanshou truly cares for Snow Beard Ancestor. Rest assured, we mean you no harm. We simply need Lady Wanshou to refine a Gu material for us. If you can accomplish this, we will lend our aid to help you and your husband drive back these powerful enemies from the Central Continent."
"In that case, please invite the honored guests in." Lady Wanshou thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Shortly afterward, a group of four Gu Immortals appeared before Lady Wanshou.
