> A few days later, Tai Bai Yun Sheng returned to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
Fang Yuan met with him and saw the joy in his eyes. "Old Bai, it looks like your trip to the East Sea bore some happy fruit."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed heartily. "Junior Brother, your keen eyes are right. Indeed it did. Why don't you guess what I gained this time?"
Fang Yuan found it strange. "Fairy Jade Dew is an attendant of Paradise Immortal Venerable. She cultivates both Earth Path and Water Path, and excels in defense and healing. I know the lineup you guys used to attack the blessed land. You actually succeeded on the first try and directly conquered the Jade Dew Blessed Land?"
In fact, Fang Yuan hadn't been very optimistic about Tai Bai Yun Sheng's trip.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression stiffened. He sighed. "So junior brother never really rated me highly. You hit the nail on the head. This time, we attacked the blessed land for seven days and seven nights, but were eventually defeated by the land spirit, suffering heavy losses. One Gu Immortal nearly died, but I saved him with the Man as Before Immortal Gu."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrow. He knew the value of the Man as Before Immortal Gu. The moment Tai Bai Yun Sheng revealed it, his stock would surely skyrocket in the eyes of others.
Indeed, Tai Bai Yun Sheng continued. "After my Man as Before Immortal Gu was discovered, I received a lot of praise. Then I received a warm invitation from Shark Demon to go to the East Sea Zombie Alliance headquarters. How could I dare to go alone to someone else's main base? I politely declined. In the end, the three Immortal Zombies including Shark Demon hosted me at the Sea Market Blessed Land. During the banquet, I learned a major piece of news."
Saying this, Tai Bai Yun Sheng paused, stopping his words, and looked at Fang Yuan with burning eyes.
Fang Yuan laughed inwardly and played along. "Hehehe, what major news is it that warrants being so secretive?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression turned serious. He said excitedly, "A way for junior brother to be reborn, to escape the state of being an Immortal Zombie!"
"Oh?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrow.
He himself had joined the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, but had made no progress yet. He didn't expect Tai Bai Yun Sheng to have gotten a lead before him.
"What method?" Fang Yuan pressed.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng said, "Shark Demon has a cultivation partner. Her name is Su Bai Man. She is also an Immortal Zombie. In her early years, she seized an opportunity, defeated a powerful enemy, and obtained a Time Path Immortal Gu called the Time Anchor. This Gu can make a mark in the River of Time. By itself, it is useless, but when paired with other Time Path Immortal Gu, it has an excellent effect."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan immediately understood his meaning.
His eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. "Old Bai, I understand what you mean. I have long heard of the Time Anchor Immortal Gu. If paired with your Region as Before, it can accurately return a region to a past moment. If paired with your Man as Before, theoretically, it can restore a target to its state at a past moment. But all of this requires the Time Anchor Immortal Gu to have placed a mark in advance."
"Correct. My Man as Before Immortal Gu can only restore something to the state it was in one instant ago. But paired with the Time Anchor Immortal Gu, it might be possible to break the limit of a single instant. Junior brother, you can use this method to shed your Immortal Zombie status!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng said excitedly.
What Tai Bai Yun Sheng said was true.
Gu are the true essence of heaven and earth, each with a single function, different from each other. Immortal Gu are unique. Although their might is fierce, they have their restrictions and drawbacks.
Humans are the spirit of all things, most skilled in wisdom and creation. Combining different Gu to use them can enhance their effectiveness and make up for their shortcomings.
"Paired with the Time Anchor Immortal Gu, the Man as Before Immortal Gu can indeed break the limit of a single instant. But..." Fang Yuan shook his head and continued, "Activating two Immortal Gu together is not a simple matter of activating them simultaneously. It requires many mortal Gu to assist, and even other Immortal Gu to mediate, thereby forming an Immortal killer move. The combination of Time Anchor and Man as Before is theoretically feasible. But you all don't have the corresponding Immortal killer move. I suspect the Immortal Zombies like Shark Demon entertained you so lavishly just so you would help them, contribute your Man as Before, so it would be convenient for them to research the Immortal killer move, am I right?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded repeatedly, praising, "Junior brother is an intelligent man. Your guess is very accurate. That is indeed the case."
"Regrettable, truly regrettable." Fang Yuan shook his head again.
"Regrettable? Why? I think this method holds great hope." Tai Bai Yun Sheng looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously.
"Old Bai, you must understand, my becoming an Immortal Zombie is an established fact. Perhaps Shark Demon and the others had already used the Time Anchor Immortal Gu before becoming Immortal Zombies, marking their state in the River of Time. I, however, have not. Therefore, even if this killer move is developed, it will be useless to me." Fang Yuan sighed.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng smiled. "Junior brother, your worries are valid. But I must also tell you good news. Shark Demon and Su Bai Man also did not use the Time Anchor Immortal Gu in time to place a mark."
"Oh?"
