Fixed Immortal Travel Immortal Gu was finally in hand!
This way, when Fang Yuan advanced to Eighth Transformation in the future and Future Self became ineffective, he wouldn't need to worry about losing means like Fixed Immortal Travel.
Fixed Immortal Travel was a movement-type Immortal Gu. Its effects were incredibly powerful, and it would bring Fang Yuan many conveniences.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had devised a killing move centered on Fixed Immortal Travel. Even at the Eighth Transformation level, it could barely carry him across the world.
Possessing this Gu worm meant possessing extraordinary mobility!
However, in his previous life, Fang Yuan had stolen Fixed Immortal Travel Gu on his very first attempt. But in this life, it had been an exhausting ordeal — he had used Great Robbery Ghost Hand more than ten times, expending a vast amount of Immortal Essence.
The shortcomings of Great Robbery Ghost Hand were laid bare.
While it could steal Immortal Gu, most of the time it pilfered mortal Gu instead. Fang Yuan had stolen tens of thousands of mortal Gu from Feng Jiuge, but only three or four Immortal Gu.
"Next is the Life Armor Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan's cold gaze locked tightly onto Feng Jiuge's figure.
Once he stole the Life Armor Immortal Gu, Feng Jiuge would be finished.
Feng Jiuge fled continuously.
He had never imagined he would find himself in such a wretched state!
"Fang Yuan knows me far too well! He keeps stealing my Immortal Gu, barely attacking me at all, showing no intention of dealing me a serious blow — it seems he understands exactly how powerful Life Armor Gu is."
Feng Jiuge's heart sank to the depths, and a bone-piercing chill spread throughout his body.
As his Immortal Gu dwindled, his combat power plummeted.
"Fang Yuan!" Feng Jiuge chewed on the name in his mind. Though he had long anticipated Fang Yuan's growth, he had never imagined he would be the one reduced to fleeing in utter helplessness.
The memory of when Feng Jiuge had hunted Fang Yuan, chasing him all the way from the Southern Border to the Western Desert, seemed as fresh as yesterday, vivid in his mind.
Who would have thought that their situations would now be completely reversed!
"How swiftly things change!" Feng Jiuge lamented bitterly.
It wasn't that Feng Jiuge was weak — it was that Fang Yuan had simply been too thoroughly prepared.
He had kept the secret of his rebirth hidden, preserving his advantage.
This super Gu formation in Langya Blessed Land had received Fang Yuan's full refinement, growing several times more powerful than it had been at the same point in his previous life.
One reason was that Fang Yuan had annexed Langya Blessed Land, allowing him to mobilize all its resources for constructing the Immortal Gu formation while also trading with the three great non-human races.
The second reason was that Fang Yuan himself was stronger than he had been at the same point in his previous life — whether in the Formation Path, the Time Path, or any other aspect.
This was how he had assembled this super formation, trapping both Feng Jiuge and Chen Yi within it.
On the other side.
Flickering lights danced before Chen Yi's eyes as he navigated ceaselessly through the labyrinth illusion.
"Damn it! I still haven't broken through!" Trapped in the labyrinth illusion, Chen Yi shifted rapidly, trying to break through from every direction, feeling so nauseous he was about to vomit.
This formation had repeatedly shattered Chen Yi's assessment of it.
Fang Yuan had deployed nearly all the non-human Gu Immortals to operate the formation, targeting Chen Yi specifically.
Chen Yi's combat strength was formidable — his Immortal killing moves included Ancient Wood Cage, Giant Wood Statue, Karma Divine Tree, and more, all exceptional techniques that Fang Yuan would have found extremely difficult to handle.
In his previous life, Chen Yi had fought two-on-one against the Primordial Stone Dragon and Tianpo Suoluo during the Battle of Langya, performing brilliantly and stealing the spotlight.
But in this life, Fang Yuan had annexed the Langya sect and seized true command. He arranged the Primordial Stone Dragon and Tianpo Suoluo to deal with Chen Yi, but both were merely supplementary. The true opponent for Chen Yi was the super formation.
Chen Yi struggled within the labyrinth and illusions. Whenever there was hope of a breakthrough, the Primordial Stone Dragon or Tianpo Suoluo would appear, blocking him and buying time.
Then the non-human Gu Immortals would seize the opportunity to repair and reinforce, keeping Chen Yi trapped within the formation.
Chen Yi held a vast arsenal of techniques, but had nowhere to apply them.
Fang Yuan's targeted arrangements had neutralized him in one stroke.
Chen Yi grew increasingly anxious — the longer time dragged on, the more uneasy he became.
Was the corpse of True Monarch Thunder Ghost really just an illusion?
Chen Yi couldn't be sure!
He desperately wanted to believe: it was merely an illusion.
The reasoning was straightforward — given True Monarch Thunder Ghost's combat strength, how could Fang Yuan possibly have killed her in a single blow?
But was there such a possibility?
If True Monarch Thunder Ghost was still alive, why hadn't there been the slightest sound from her all this time, despite the battle having dragged on for so long?
He and Feng Jiuge had been separated for a long time now — what was the situation on Feng Jiuge's end?
"Could it be a dream realm?" A flash of insight struck Chen Yi's mind.
He didn't know that Fang Yuan possessed the Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu Steal Life, but he had long known that Fang Yuan was skilled at detonating Pure Dream True Seeker bodies, using the power of dream realms against powerful enemies.
In the great dream battle at Yitian Mountain, Demon Venerable You Hun had been captured by the Heavenly Court. After that, when Fang Yuan was consecutively hunted by Wu Yong and Feng Jiuge, he had repeatedly detonated Pure Dream True Seeker bodies.
Without the aid of Pure Dream True Seeker bodies, Fang Yuan would most likely have been caught and killed.
As a Wisdom Path powerhouse, Fairy Ziwei had long since performed her calculations before taking action. The dream realms and Reverse Flow River in Fang Yuan's possession had all been accounted for.
The Dark Vortex served as the catalyst for Star Cast and possessed its own sensing capabilities. If there were dream realms or Reverse Flow River nearby, Fairy Ziwei would be able to faintly detect them.
In truth, Fang Yuan had always lacked precise control over dream realms and the Reverse Flow River. Once a Pure Dream True Seeker body detonated, the resulting dream realm would drift on its own, and the Reverse Flow River could only be manipulated in the crudest fashion.
Whether it was a dream realm or the Reverse Flow River, either could corrupt the Dark Vortex upon contact, causing the Star Cast killing move to destabilize or even fail entirely.
All Fairy Ziwei needed to do was expand the Dark Vortex slightly, and she could test whether any Reverse Flow River or dream realm lay nearby.
"Using only dream realms or the Reverse Flow River as a trap would be foolish. But what if Fang Yuan had developed a new Dream Path killing move? He does possess the Spring Autumn Cicada — he was reborn from his previous life!" Chen Yi thought.
But in reality, Fang Yuan currently had no dream realms in his possession at all.
His Pure Dream True Seeker bodies had already been completely used up. (For details, see Chapter 567 of this volume.)
The vast majority of his Pure Dream True Seeker bodies had been used up while Fang Yuan was evading pursuit.
This was why, in his previous life, after the defense of Langya Blessed Land, Fang Yuan had returned to the Southern Border to reclaim dream realms.
Later, through clandestine dealings with Chi Quyou, Fang Yuan gradually acquired many dream realms, allowing him to rebuild his stockpile of Pure Dream True Seeker bodies into a substantial reserve.
After that, when Fang Yuan ambushed Xia Cha and the other pursuers, these Pure Dream True Seeker bodies proved invaluable. It could be said that Chi Quyou's contribution was enormous — it was precisely because of his secret dealings with Fang Yuan that he had so many dream realms at his disposal. Relying on brute robbery alone could never have achieved such efficiency.
Chen Yi's guess had been wrong, and his mood grew heavier and heavier.
"No — I must break through this Immortal Gu formation as quickly as possible!"
The dire situation hardened Chen Yi's resolve, and he unleashed his trump card killing move — the Karma Divine Tree.
The divine tree was lush and verdant, its canopy spreading like a pavilion, wisps of green smoke curling and swaying in the wind.
With the Karma Divine Tree hovering above his head, all the surrounding illusions and labyrinths were forced back a significant distance.
Clarity immediately flooded Chen Yi's vision.
The non-human Gu Immortals cried out in alarm.
"Is this the Karma Divine Tree killing move that Elder Fang Yuan spoke of?"
"The entire super Gu formation's power is being repelled by this move — the labyrinth and illusions simply can't cover Chen Yi at all!"
