Supreme Immortal Aperture.
The Long Hair Refinement Path grand formation hummed with a low buzz, flames soaring within its bounds, waves of heat blasting outward in every direction.
A Sixth Transformation Immortal Gu bathed in the firelight floated in midair, its surface gradually melting like wax.
"Hold steady!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit commanded the formation, calling out. "Open the storage gates — release the immortal materials."
The Furman Immortal Gu Masters managing the other formation cores immediately opened the storage gates.
And so, clusters of dog shit slowly floated out from the gates.
These were all immortal materials.
Some shimmered with starlight, as though embedded with countless blue diamonds — the excrement of Star Wilderness Dogs.
Some had spikes jutting from their surface, grotesque and bizarre — the droppings of Celestial Incomplete Dogs.
Others were pure white and flawless, like white jade — the waste of Jade Statue Mixed White Dogs.
Star Wilderness Dogs were desolate beasts, while Celestial Incomplete Dogs and Jade Statue Mixed White Dogs were ancient desolate beasts.
The dog shit drifted slowly into the great fire, melting rapidly in the flames. Some turned to smoke, others dissolved into liquid.
The grand formation rotated, and the three Furman Immortal Gu Masters took turns acting, cooperating with one another to process these dog shit immortal materials.
First, smoke spread outward and clung to the surroundings of the Sixth Transformation Immortal Gu, then liquid flowed and converged into one.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's control in the later stages of Gu refinement was terrifyingly steady.
However, just as success was imminent — when the final batch of immortal materials merged in — an accident suddenly occurred. The flames abruptly changed color, and the Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu prototype inside rapidly collapsed.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit was startled and hastily activated the formation once more.
Regret Gu took effect. The color of the flames within the formation immediately reverted to normal, and more than that, the Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu prototype was restored to its original state.
The only thing lost was that final batch of immortal materials.
The Lang Ya Furmen quickly steadied their emotions and continued refining the Gu.
After the time it took to burn three sticks of incense, the flames within the formation slowly dissipated. The original Sixth Transformation Immortal Gu had been successfully refined into a Seventh Transformation Gu.
Seventh Transformation — Dog Shit Luck!
The Furman Immortal Gu Masters were extremely excited, and Lang Ya Earth Spirit was full of emotion as well.
Their refinement path strength had always been unmatched in the world. Now, with Regret Gu in hand, it was like a flood dragon taking to the sky — their advantage only expanded, utterly unstoppable.
Meanwhile, Dragon Whale Paradise.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the clouds, watching alongside the Bee General and the others as Miao Mingshen flew up and down.
The ecology of the two great sea regions had already been mostly adjusted. The final obstacle was the space between them — a stretch of fractured void.
Miao Mingshen was working hard to erase this fractured space. Once it was smoothed out, the two sea regions could truly be harmoniously unified.
Miao Mingshen was a Space Path Immortal Gu Master, and dealing with fractured space was precisely his forte.
Fang Yuan and the others were content to take it easy.
"Oh? The Dog Shit Luck Immortal Gu has been successfully refined as well. Good progress." Fang Yuan sensed the movements within his Supreme Immortal Aperture.
While his main body was carrying out merit tasks, three Immortal Gu had already been successfully refined inside the Supreme Immortal Aperture.
The progress could only be called extremely rapid!
Ordinary Immortal Gu Masters refined Gu on a timescale measured in years, proceeding with the utmost caution throughout, the risk enormous.
Fang Yuan's situation was completely different.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit, the Furman Immortal Gu Masters, the Long Hair Refinement Path grand formation, Regret Gu, and abundant immortal materials — all of these allowed him to refine Gu with ease.
The three successfully refined Immortal Gu all belonged to Luck Path, obtained from dismantling the Boiling Luck Pot.
Luck Path was the current priority.
The Dog Shit Luck Immortal Gu that had just been successfully refined had once been Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's life-bound Immortal Gu, possessing extremely powerful auxiliary capabilities.
But it had previously always been at the Sixth Transformation level, too low to make a real difference. Now elevated to the Seventh Transformation, it could finally barely serve a purpose.
Fang Yuan was currently at the Eighth Transformation level, and his requirements for Immortal Gu had risen accordingly — he needed suitable high-transformation Immortal Gu. Sixth Transformation was far too low, Seventh Transformation barely acceptable, Eighth Transformation would be the appropriate level.
But Fang Yuan had no ability to refine Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu. The investment was too great, the risk too high, and it could very well end up all for nothing.
After all, he was not cultivating in peace. His external environment was extremely hostile, and if he failed to stop Heavenly Court from restoring Fate Gu, his situation would only deteriorate further.
For now, Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu could barely suffice.
Besides, these Seventh Transformation Luck Path Immortal Gu that had been refined would all need to be reassembled into the Boiling Luck Pot. A Seventh Transformation Boiling Luck Pot could also influence Eighth Transformation targets.
"Miao!" Miao Mingshen suddenly gave a soft cry, interrupting Fang Yuan's train of thought.
Everyone watched as Miao Mingshen erupted with a surge of brilliant azure radiance. The light spread and permeated outward, and wherever it reached, the fractured space slowly smoothed itself out — space unified, with no more seams or distinctions.
"What extraordinary skill, sir!" the Bee General and the others praised in unison.
With this step completed, the entire large-tier task was declared finished.
"Fellow Immortal Miao's technique is truly superb — I cannot compare." Fang Yuan was not stingy with his praise. He did, of course, possess Space Path Immortal Gu and no shortage of Space Path methods, along with killing moves from other paths that could simulate Space Path power.
But if he truly competed with Miao Mingshen head-on, even if Fang Yuan achieved the same result, his expenditure would be far greater.
After all, every field has its specialist. Miao Mingshen had devoted himself to this Path, whereas Fang Yuan had always invested very little in Space Path, with minimal progress to show for it.
Miao Mingshen hastily cupped his fists. "You flatter me, sir. I am humbled."
Fang Yuan exchanged a few more pleasantries before all the Immortals returned beneath the Merit Stele.
