The sky of the Blessed Land had formed a huge hole, connecting to the outside world. From Fang Yuan's angle, he could see the sun of the Southern Border.
The sun was low, nearly dusk.
"Shen hour, third quarter. Feng Jin Huang should have just inherited the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land by now, right?" Fang Yuan thought.
In his previous life, he had teamed up with demonic path Gu Immortals to attack the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land and seize Mount Danghun. In the end, at a terrible cost, he killed Feng Jin Huang and barely escaped with his life.
After Feng Jin Huang died, the righteous path mourned her together, composing a biography, "The Biography of Feng Jin Huang." The biography detailed her life's achievements. Feng Jin Huang had three major encounters in her life.
The first encounter was when she was three years old, sleeping, she obtained the Immortal Gu, Dream Wings, in her dreams.
The second opportunity was the Fox Immortal's inheritance. Today, during the second quarter of the Shen hour, she successfully reached the summit.
"Feng Jin Huang has the Immortal Gu Dream Wings. The Fox Immortal's inheritance is surely hers for the taking. If I don't want to fall too far behind her, I need to obtain a second aperture. What a pity, in the end, I failed on the cusp of victory!"
He sighed inwardly, yet his unfocused eyes gradually began to harden.
He still had a chance to turn the tables; he hadn't lost completely!
Because he still had the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The Wuji Search Lock could seal a rank five Gu, but it couldn't restrain a rank six Immortal Gu!
Fang Yuan raised his eyes and took one last look at Bai Ning Bing and the others. There was nothing more to say. This time, if he succeeded, there was hope. If he failed, nothing else mattered.
"Why is he so calm?" Bai Ning Bing, Tie Ruo Nan, and the others all felt a strange sense of foreboding at this moment.
Bang.
Fang Yuan resolutely self-destructed!
In an instant, the Spring Autumn Cicada emitted a green and orange glow, spreading an aura that was profound and mysterious.
All of Fang Yuan's Gu worms, all of his true essence, all of his flesh and blood and soul… they all exploded.
Every activation of the Spring Autumn Cicada was a massive gamble.
Cornered and with no way out, Fang Yuan bravely bet everything he had!
All the power of the self-destruction poured into the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The Spring Autumn Cicada turned into a single spark of light, carrying the last shred of Fang Yuan's will, shattering the void, and arriving at the most famous forbidden place in this world — the River of Time.
The Gu Master world has five regions surrounding it: the Southern Border, Northern Plains, Western Desert, Eastern Sea, and Central Continent. This is Space. There is also a River of Time, flowing through the past, present, and future. This is Time.
Space and Time are the foundation of the world.
Rush, rush, rush...
The waters in the River of Time surged, ebbed and flowed, with turbulent waves.
Every single drop of the water of time was a pale white color, but there were countless quadrillions of drops. Every collision, entanglement, and rotation between them burst forth with the most brilliant and dazzling splendor.
In this desolate yet splendid river, the Spring Autumn Cicada was like a wandering son returning home, flapping its wings, carrying Fang Yuan's consciousness, and traveling tirelessly against the current.
For Fang Yuan, this was already the third time he had activated the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The first time, he entered the River of Time without any experience. The second time, he was forced to self-destruct. The time was too short.
This time, he was mentally prepared, and finally experienced the feeling of going against the current.
This feeling was so mysterious and wonderful. Countless lights and shadows, like a movie playing in reverse, appeared in his consciousness.
It felt like a single breath had passed. It also felt like he had wandered for countless years.
Fierce giant waves crashed over again and again. The Spring Autumn Cicada quickly lost its vitality; the energy from the self-destruction was exhausted. It struggled for a moment, then dove straight into one of the drops of water, vanishing without a trace.
Fang Yuan blinked, and the scene before him had completely changed!
"Wait, wait, everything can be discussed. I can promise to tell you the correct path, but you must guarantee my safety. I have a Poison Oath Gu on me..."
A familiar voice pleading for mercy reached his ears. Fang Yuan followed the sound and looked down, seeing Wang Xiao at his feet.
He was stunned for a moment. Then his heart began to pound violently, his expression changed, revealing an ecstasy he couldn't hide.
"Hahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded again! I won the bet, I was reborn again!" Fang Yuan raised his arms and shouted, throwing his head back and roaring with laughter.
Wang Xiao: "..."
Fang Yuan's sudden display filled Wang Xiao with shock and suspicion.
"What rebirth? Succeeded in what? Could this guy be mentally unstable? But now that I think about it, there are plenty of madmen among demonic path Gu Masters. Damn it, I actually ran into a lunatic like this!"
Wang Xiao, lying on the ground under Fang Yuan's foot, thought to himself, and his pleas for mercy grew even louder.
