This Diamond Thought Immortal Gu was about the size of a fist, its exterior resembling glazed glass—semi-transparent and shimmering with brilliant golden light. Its appearance was truly splendid.
Fang Yuan held it in his hand, feeling its heaviness, as though gripping a solid lump of gold.
The exchange between both parties went smoothly and was over in short order.
After Fang Yuan successfully refined this Diamond Thought Immortal Gu, Wu Yubo's will bid him farewell and flew off directly.
Obtaining a Sixth Transformation Immortal Gu in this way did not come as any surprise to Fang Yuan.
He had rendered great service to the Wu Family!
Fang Yuan had rescued Wu Yubo, which was an enormous contribution to the Wu Family. Though he had broken the rules and brought shame upon the family, he had preserved a precious Seventh Transformation combat asset for them. Clearly, the merit far outweighed the offense!
Though Wu Yong had punished Fang Yuan, he understood it perfectly well. This was the Righteous Path—it had to look proper on the surface.
The Wu Family would certainly reward Fang Yuan, but Wu Yong could not appear in person.
If Wu Yong showed his face, the political implications would be entirely different. Once discovered, he would be criticized and attacked by others.
That was why Wu Yubo's will appeared instead.
This Diamond Thought Immortal Gu was ostensibly Wu Yubo's personal gratitude to Fang Yuan, but in reality it came from the Wu Family's coffers. However, this layer of indirection was essential—this was the way of the Righteous Path.
"Another Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly.
An ordinary Gu Immortal would probably be overjoyed, but for Fang Yuan, the significance was rather different.
He had too many Immortal Gu!
The burden was getting a bit heavy.
"Still, the Diamond Thought Immortal Gu is a Wisdom Path Immortal Gu, so it comes at just the right time. It can shore up some of my current shortcomings."
Fang Yuan's Wisdom Path attainment was not lacking—what he lacked was Wisdom Path Immortal Gu.
Before, he had only the Attitude Gu and the Puzzle-Solving Gu. Now he had added the Love Gu and the Diamond Thought Gu.
Four Wisdom Path Immortal Gu—that was about the right number. With Fang Yuan's Grandmaster-level Wisdom Path attainment, he would be able to accomplish a great deal.
Fang Yuan infused it with Red Date Immortal Essence and tried to activate this Diamond Thought Immortal Gu.
Instantly, golden thoughts began surfacing in his mind. These thoughts were small and delicate, shimmering with a metallic luster, conveying an impression of hardness and solidity.
When the thoughts collided, they seemed to clang against each other.
Fang Yuan tried using these newly generated Diamond Thoughts for mental calculations.
He quickly discovered that these Diamond Thoughts were actually not suited for thinking. The thoughts were difficult to merge and frequently shattered each other upon collision.
Fang Yuan silently noted "just as expected," feeling no surprise.
The Diamond Thought Immortal Gu itself was not meant for thinking—its strength lay in combat against enemies.
Fang Yuan drew these Diamond Thoughts out of his mind. Originally small and delicate, once they left his mind and entered the outside world, they expanded and swelled into fist-sized golden spheres with a glazed luster on their surfaces.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, with hundreds of Diamond Thoughts floating around him. For a moment, brilliant golden light filled the space—dazzling and magnificent.
With a thought, one Diamond Thought shot out immediately.
Whoosh!
The speed was astonishing.
Thoughts were naturally very fast—especially within the mind, where they traveled faster than light!
Outside the mind, Diamond Thoughts could not match their internal speed, but they were still incredibly fast.
"This speed is nearly fifty percent of the Sword Escape Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan's eyes twitched slightly—he was very satisfied with this level of speed.
The Sword Escape Immortal Gu was a Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu renowned for its excellent speed. The Diamond Thought Immortal Gu was only Sixth Transformation, yet the Diamond Thoughts it produced reached half the speed of the Sword Escape Immortal Gu.
Of course, this type of Immortal Gu, even if upgraded to Seventh or Eighth Transformation, would not produce qualitatively different Diamond Thoughts—only quantitatively more of them.
Theoretically, a mortal Diamond Thought Gu could produce Diamond Thoughts no different from those of an Immortal Gu. The difference lay mainly in quantity. A Fifth Transformation mortal Diamond Thought Gu could simultaneously produce over a hundred Diamond Thoughts. But the Immortal Gu version could generate thousands or even tens of thousands of thoughts in an instant.
So how powerful was a single Diamond Thought?
Fang Yuan aimed at a certain floor tile and fired off a Diamond Thought.
With a soft bang, the Diamond Thought traced a brilliant golden arc through the air and, in the blink of an eye, pierced through the floor tile and sank deep into the ground.
Fang Yuan nodded.
