He began.
The first step was for Fang Yuan to transform into the Divination Turtle.
The second step involved activating a large number of common Gu, followed by the Vajra Mind Immortal Gu, and then continuing to add more common Gu.
The third and most critical step was activating the Defensive Immortal Gu.
*Pfft!*
Fang Yuan, in his Divination Turtle form, suddenly spat out a massive amount of blood. Inside his Immortal Aperture, numerous common Gu were destroyed in an instant. Fortunately, the Defensive Immortal Gu was sturdy and remained completely undamaged.
Fang Yuan felt dizzy and disoriented. The failure of the Immortal Killer Move attempt had injured his internal organs, resulting in rather severe internal trauma.
Fortunately, he had transformed into the Divination Turtle, an ancient Desolate Beast with thick, tough skin and astonishing regenerative abilities. Had he attempted this in human form, such injuries could have instantly reduced his organs to a bloody pulp.
"How could this happen?" Fang Yuan was somewhat stunned.
The result was completely different from what he had envisioned.
In fact, the Defensive Immortal Gu hadn't even truly activated its power before the entire Immortal Killer Move collapsed.
This was somewhat unexpected for Fang Yuan.
He had used the Love Immortal Gu and other Wisdom Path Immortal Gu to calculate and simulate this improved Immortal Killer Move countless times. It shouldn't have had such a severe error.
It was a blow right to the head.
After recovering from his injuries, Fang Yuan calmed down to examine the move.
After several consecutive calculations, he grew even more puzzled: "There's no error?"
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck his mind: "I understand!"
Fang Yuan instantly realized where his mistake lay.
His error was with the Defensive Immortal Gu.
The Defensive Immortal Gu, once activated, continuously consumed Red Date Immortal Essence. However, it wouldn't unleash its power until ten breaths later. Not on the tenth breath, but actually starting from the eleventh breath. It was this minuscule time discrepancy that caused his entire Immortal Killer Move to collapse.
"To think the error would be here, truly a case of not seeing what's right under one's nose!"
"It seems I need to add some Time Path Gu to compensate for this temporal disparity." Fang Yuan's comprehension of the Time Path was quite ordinary and hadn't improved much, as he had never encountered any dreams related to the Time Path.
However, he possessed the Black Fang True Inheritance and had Wisdom Path calculation methods, which could somewhat make up for this shortcoming.
But this meant the calculation wouldn't be something that could be completed in moments, or even over the span of a cup of tea or an incense stick.
One day passed without Fang Yuan sleeping or resting.
The second day passed as he continued his calculations without pause.
On the third day, the Immortal Gu House sent by the Wu family for their rendezvous had already covered over half the journey.
Fang Yuan's calculations finally showed the first glimmers of progress.
After achieving a qualitative change, the subsequent simulations proceeded smoothly.
Southern Border, the Renyan Mountain Range.
This region was home to the largest concentration of mortals in the Southern Border. Settlements dotted every mountain. Some peaks even hosted several stockades living in close proximity.
It was a scene of flourishing prosperity.
The population had expanded to its peak, boasting a massive number of mortals. Of course, in terms of combat power, a single Immortal Gu Master could effortlessly subdue the entire area with overwhelming force that would leave no room for resistance.
And at the very center of this mountain range, serving as the political heart of all the settlements, was Renyan Mountain itself.
The stronghold of one of the super-clans—the Chai family!
The ancestor who founded the Chai family was named Chai Fu, a figure recorded in human history.
In his era, he was the foremost figure in the Southern Border's Immortal Gu Master community, specializing in the Fire Path and supplementing it with the Earth Path. After gaining much insight from reading "The Legends of the Human Ancestor," he also possessed a Human Path Killer Move. In his later years, he chose this location to establish the Chai family, transforming the mountain range to create what became Renyan Mountain.
In truth, powerful Gu Immortals and great figures would all read "The Legends of the Human Ancestor."
Within "The Legends of the Human Ancestor," the Human Path True Inheritance of humanity was hidden. This True Inheritance was considered the foremost True Inheritance in the world of Gu Masters.
Its method of inheritance was also very special.
The typical understanding of an inheritance involved things like the Black Fang True Inheritance or the White Phase True Inheritance.
But the Human Ancestor's Human Path True Inheritance was simply the book "The Legends of the Human Ancestor" itself—a piece of information. The profound mysteries of the Human Path were contained within this information, and which Gu Immortal could grasp them depended entirely on individual fate and talent.
