An immortal aperture, compared to a mortal aperture, is a qualitative sublimation, equivalent to opening up a brand new small world. The immortal apertures of rank six and seven Gu Masters are often called 'blessed lands'. The immortal apertures of rank eight and nine Gu Masters are called 'grotto-heavens'.
After a Gu Immortal dies, if an obsession remains, it combines with the power of heaven and earth in the immortal aperture to form a land spirit.
Every immortal aperture is unique, originally being a part of the Gu Immortal's body. In a sense, even though the Gu Immortal has fallen, the remaining land spirit and immortal aperture are another form of continuation of his (her) life.
It is precisely because the land spirit is formed from an obsession that it is stubborn and does not know how to be flexible.
In history, there are also many examples. For instance, some powerful Gu Immortal coveted a certain blessed land, but failed to meet the recognition requirements, the land spirit did not permit, and ultimately the land spirit directly self-destructed, leaving the Gu Immortal with empty hands.
Giant Sun's Will wanted to forcefully seal the land spirit of the Royal Court, Frost Jade Peacock, and had already caused the latter to continue his anger for over a hundred thousand years. Now, continuing to seal it, this naturally ignited the determined heart of Frost Jade Peacock.
In the blessed land, everyone was exclaiming in shock, and feelings of panic and confusion quickly spread.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng is ascending to immortality, has it caused leaks in the blessed land?"
"The Royal Court
"Something terrible is happening, I have a very bad premonition. Do you think the blessed land is going to be destroyed?"
In the sky, countless wounds were torn open. The originally gold-and-silver alternating heavenly wall of the blessed land was now covered in wounds, and through these wounds, people could see the starlight in the night sky of the
"The Royal Court Blessed Land cannot self-destruct so easily," he murmured to himself. He was absolutely certain of this.
Historically, there were many examples of land spirits committing suicide and blessed lands self-destructing, but this situation was not one of them.
How could the arrangements of
The Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was the biggest obstacle.
"In the past, how could the land spirit have stirred up such waves? But now, Giant Sun's Will has just awakened from slumber, caught off guard, and can't spare a hand to deal with the situation. Meanwhile, the seal-breaking power of the land spirit has already dissipated by more than half under the influence of my Peaceful Mud Immortal Gu, allowing the land spirit to have some strength to struggle."
Analyzing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but admire the decisiveness and methods of Giant Sun's Will.
He cleverly used Tai Bai Yun Sheng as a pawn, using the only means available to him to gain the most precious time, thus tilting the scales of victory greatly.
"However, although the land spirit cannot truly self-destruct, it can still perform the most basic ability of extracting its own heaven and earth qi."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan looked into the distance at Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Above Tai Bai Yun Sheng's head, the calamity clouds that had already dissipated were gathering again. The calamity dust on the ground was also spreading once more.
A large amount of heaven qi and earth qi gushed out, and it seemed that new heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities were about to form!
"W-what is going on? How can there still be heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities?! Haven't they already passed?" Seeing this, Ye Lui Sang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"This is completely inconsistent with the records. Tai Bai Yun Sheng is very strange, how can there be two consecutive heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities?"
They didn't know, and others even less.
Seeing the majestic heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities form again, many people exclaimed in shock, expressing extreme worry for Tai Bai Yun Sheng's condition.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's face turned livid.
"Why is a heavenly tribulation still forming?! That's not what my inheritance said!" he thought in shock and anger.
Because not only outside, but also inside his body, in his immortal aperture, another heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity was brewing!
The refinement of a mortal Gu into an immortal Gu, like a Gu Master becoming an immortal, is a dangerous process defying the heavens. When a Gu is refined into an immortal Gu, it naturally draws heaven and earth qi, thereby forming corresponding heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities.
Internal and external troubles attacked together, putting Tai Bai Yun Sheng in a difficult position, afraid of losing one while attending to the other. His situation was extremely dire!
Fang Yuan used the Peaceful Mud Immortal Gu to awaken the land spirit.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's ascension became the key piece in the struggle between the land spirit and Giant Sun's Will.
This ascension had long left the control of the involved party.
Except for Fang Yuan, everyone else was kept in the dark, clueless about the truth.
Only Fang Yuan knew the land spirit's intention!
The land spirit was fighting against time, unable to outpace Giant Sun's Will, so it also set its sights on Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Heaven qi and earth qi were extracted by the land spirit through self-sacrifice of its own foundation. The purpose was to form heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities to destroy Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
What benefit was there to the land spirit in eliminating him?
This involved the merging of immortal apertures.
Mortal apertures cannot be merged with each other, but after ascending, immortal apertures are individual small worlds. Between worlds, they can merge, bringing great benefits to Gu Immortals.
Earlier, Fang Yuan voluntarily gave up a quarter of the territory of Fox Immortal Blessed Land at Heavenly Ladder Mountain, and it was soon taken by other Gu Immortals. Merging other immortal apertures to strengthen one's own aperture has many advantages.
If the land spirit destroyed Tai Bai Yun Sheng, after his death, his immortal aperture would remain. Once left behind, it would naturally be absorbed by the Royal Court Blessed Land.
After this absorption, the blessed land's foundation would greatly increase, and the land spirit's strength would skyrocket. This would greatly help it in breaking through Giant Sun's seal.
In the sky, black clouds roiled, thunder flashed and lightning crackled.
Countless purple lightning bolts, thread by thread, formed a ball of lightning.
