“An unparalleled true inheritance!” Fang Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the distant white ball of light.
He quickly took out the Intent Gu and a Great Soul Bug.
He condensed a strand of will, poured it into the Great Soul Bug, and watched it fly toward the true inheritance light.
“An unparalleled true inheritance must surpass an ordinary true inheritance. I want to see just what makes it different.” Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.
But something unexpected happened.
As the Great Soul Bug drew closer to the light, Fang Yuan felt his connection with it growing weaker and weaker. When the bug was still over three hundred paces away, the connection was severed completely.
“This… What’s going on?” Fang Yuan was shocked, watching the Unparalleled True Inheritance continue on its previous trajectory, drifting away leisurely. Meanwhile, the Great Soul Bug he had released remained perfectly still. It wasn’t dead, but no matter how Fang Yuan tried to command it, it floated there silently without the slightest response.
“Hmm? This Unparalleled True Inheritance is not simple. You must be careful.” Inside his mind, Mo Yao’s Will also let out a soft exclamation of surprise, issuing a warning.
“What exactly is going on?” Curious, Fang Yuan rushed to the Great Soul Bug, cautiously approached it, picked it up, and inspected it closely.
The bug was completely unharmed, but the Will that had been poured into it had dissipated entirely.
The Great Soul Bug was a Second Rank Gu that Fang Yuan had refined, expelling its wild will.
Fang Yuan’s Will occupied its body, allowing him to control it as easily as commanding his own arm.
But now, Fang Yuan’s Will inside the bug, including the special intent condensed through the Intent Gu, had inexplicably shattered and vanished without a trace.
The Great Soul Bug had become a blank slate. Anyone could pour a strand of will into it and instantly refine it.
This was the reason Fang Yuan could not control it no matter what he did.
In the past, Fang Yuan had used the Intent Gu to probe True Inheritances, cleverly evading their trials. This method had never failed before. He hadn’t expected to stumble so completely against the Unparalleled True Inheritance.
What secret did this Unparalleled True Inheritance hold that could completely erase Fang Yuan’s Will?
“Oh, I remember now! So that’s what it is.” Just as Fang Yuan was hesitating, Mo Yao suddenly spoke up.
Then, she let out a few sweet laughs: “Kid, should I say you are lucky or unlucky? There are not too many Unparalleled True Inheritances, but not too few either. It just had to be this unique one that you encountered.”
“Please enlighten me.” Fang Yuan’s expression calmed.
“I have seen this inheritance before, and it left a deep impression on me. I spent quite a lot of effort just to get close to it myself, hehehe. Inside is a Seventh Rank Immortal Gu personally refined by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. It is called the Human Qi Gu. Its power is profound, even bizarre. Even I, in my prime, had to pay a significant price just to investigate and understand it.” Mo Yao’s tone was full of emotion.
In her lifetime, Mo Yao was a Seventh Rank Gu Immortal, a fairy of the Spirit Affinity House. She was famous.
Yet even she had paid a considerable price just to get close to this inheritance. It was only natural that Fang Yuan, a mere mortal, could not even approach it.
“Human Qi Gu…” Fang Yuan chewed on this key name.
He seemed to realize something and asked, “Does it have something to do with the Three Qi of Ascension?”
“Kid, your guess is correct.” Mo Yao sighed and explained. “The ascension of a Gu Immortal involves the Three Qi: Heaven Qi, Earth Qi, and Human Qi. When one ascends, they must completely shatter their aperture to receive Heaven Qi and Earth Qi. The more Heavenly Qi and Earthly Qi one receives, the higher their achievement as a Gu Immortal. However, the absorption of Heaven Qi and Earth Qi cannot be unlimited; they must balance with Human Qi.”
“Human Qi is the total sum of a Gu Master’s own accumulation. The Gu Master’s own combat power, the strength of their physique, the depth of their soul, their familiarity with Gu, their understanding of the world, their awakening of their own nature, as well as their luck, talent, aptitude, experiences, encounters, insights, and experience — all of these will be converted into Human Qi at the moment of ascension.”
“The more a Gu Master accumulates, the more Human Qi they have. The more Human Qi they have, the more Heaven and Earth Qi they can accommodate, and the higher their achievement as a Gu Immortal. The function of this Human Qi Gu is to absorb the Human Qi of others, purify it, and at the moment of ascension, apply it to oneself, greatly increasing the chance of becoming a Gu Immortal, as well as deepening the foundation and potential of the Gu Immortal.”
Mo Yao’s words broadened Fang Yuan’s horizons.
He couldn’t help but praise: “To think such an Immortal Gu exists, such a brilliant idea! Incredible!”
In the history of the human race, the number of Gu Immortals has always been extremely scarce. The difficulty of becoming an Immortal is immense; often, only one out of ten thousand Fifth Rank Gu Masters succeeds.
The primary key to attaining Immortality is the Gu Master’s accumulation.
Many Gu Masters do not have a deep accumulation. During their ascension, they condense very little Human Qi, but they receive a massive amount of Heaven-Earth Qi. As a result, a balance cannot be achieved. The Heaven-Earth Qi suppresses and engulfs the Human Qi, eventually causing the Gu Master to be assimilated by the world, perishing body and soul.
But with the Human Qi Immortal Gu, this difficulty can be eliminated.
By collecting the Human Qi of others, purifying and converting it, and concentrating it on the chosen person, it doesn’t matter if their own accumulation is insufficient.
It could be said that with the Human Qi Gu, the chance of successfully ascending to Immortality can be greatly increased, raising the number of Gu Immortals.
And increasing the number of Gu Immortals is a clear boost to the strength of an entire region.
Without a doubt, this was a Gu that could change the overall situation of the Five Regions! If news of this were to get out, any super force would go mad for it, rushing after it eagerly.
