Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The location to create the spirit spring had already been decided.
s.h.i.+ Wu brought the spring egg Gu and went with Man Duo, after making the preparations, he starting using his primeval essence and sent it into the lasting Gu and continuing Gu, before injecting it into the spring egg Gu.
The spring egg Gu floated in the air, absorbing primeval essence as it moved up and down slowly.
For the next eighteen days, s.h.i.+ Wu slept three hours a day, rus.h.i.+ng to eat his meals and settle his excretion. Although it was tough, the effects were showing.
As he continued to inject primeval essence, the spring egg Gu was s.h.i.+ning with a brilliant light.
These days, Man Duo had come to inspect again, and upon seeing this, he was overjoyed: "We are almost there. There are mild cracks on the spring egg Gu already, once it breaks, we will succeed. It has been tough on elder s.h.i.+ Wu."
"Not at all, not at all." s.h.i.+ Wu refined the Gu while humbly replying.
He was mentally fatigued, his body had gotten thinner. With his cultivation, forcefully activating a rank five Gu was very tiring. But if he succeeded, it would be a huge service to the tribe.
Man Duo continued: "During this elder meeting, lord father had specially mentioned it. Lord s.h.i.+ Wu"s hard work is evident in everyone"s eyes, if you have any requests, we will try to satisfy it."
s.h.i.+ Wu was extremely grateful: "I am ashamed, with lord tribe leader"s care, how can I go overboard and request for more. But I have a question."
"Oh? Please speak."
"Young master Man Duo, I feel that Hong Yan valley had been getting colder these days. The surrounding vegetation and beasts have been freezing to death."
Man Duo"s expression turned ugly. Hong Yan valley was indeed facing a problem. It had been mentioned during the last few tribe meetings. The result was, the underground magma supporting Hong Yan valley had been reduced due to unknown reasons.
This was different from historical records.
In the earlier meeting, tribe leader Man Tu flew into a rage, wanting everyone to think of a solution. At the same time, they had to conceal this matter to prevent their morale from sinking.
"Elder s.h.i.+ Wu is at a crucial moment of refining the spirit spring, I should not tell him this bad news, or his mind will waver and ruin this important matter."
Thinking so, Man Duo lied and rea.s.sured s.h.i.+ Wu.
s.h.i.+ Wu did not sense anything wrong, he was about to speak but suddenly, his expression changed, shouting: "Oh no, it"s the flying hand snow!"
Man Duo turned around and was shocked: "How can there be flying hand snow in Hong Yan valley?!"
Only to see that in the sky, fierce winds were blowing as palm-sized snowflakes carrying the aura of rank five Gu descended slowly.
"Oh no, come quickly and protect the spring egg Gu!" Man Duo shouted, calling the nearby Gu Masters over.
But the blizzard was powerful, the wind cut like razors and the might of heaven and earth descended, after resisting it for a while, everyone starting to fall into a disadvantage.
"Snow monster!"
"Snow monsters have appeared!"
Trouble comes in pairs, the blizzard gathered and formed into a six meter tall snow monster.
The defense of the Gu Masters was easily broken. In the sky, large numbers of flying hand snow gathered into a huge palm. Under everyone"s furious and indignant, while completely helpless stares, the giant snow hand grabbed the spring egg Gu in the air and squeezed.
Crack!
With a light sound, the snow hand disintegrated.
The snowflakes landed on the ground, the rank five spring egg Gu inside had vanished already.
...
The silver light shone like a miasma gently raining down on Imperial Court blessed land.
Howl howl…
Azure wolf group sprinted on the ground, some ran in the air, while others were das.h.i.+ng with their claws.
Even though there were Gu masters feeding them in the sacred palace, these wolves still desired freedom. They wanted to be ferocious beasts roaming the sky, and not canaries trapped in cages.
As their master, Fang Yuan let them do as they wished. He himself was spreading his eagle wings as he flew in the sky, looking at the ground below him.
It was Di Qiu inheritance.
"Light in the soil, s.h.i.+ne up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow… what does this sentence mean?" Fang Yuan pondered.
He had been coming over to explore the inheritance grounds every few days.
Instinct told him that this Di Qiu inheritance was not simple.
Thus, every time he went out, he used the excuse of walking his wolves, to train them and practise his manipulation skills.
But even so, he could not stay for long.
Fang Yuan was now a person with high status, second to only Hei Lou Lan. His every movement was scrutinized by everyone. He was no longer as invisible as before.
This time, he had no findings, and to prevent suspicion, he could only leave for now.
Even though he could completely occupy this entire area using his status now, Fang Yuan did not do that.
If this inheritance had high value, even if he had great strength, others would compete with him.
He did not have Huang Jin bloodline, to enter Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, he needed Hei Lou Lan"s guest token.
However, he had been sending people to scout the area.
The reason was naturally the azure wolf group.
Everytime he went out to hunt with the azure wolf group, there would be a route. Before moving out, he would send Gu Masters to scout out the path for him, and go to the path that had the most prey.
There were five to six routes to choose from each time, but each one of them would be close to Di Qiu inheritance.
One must act flawlessly, Fang Yuan followed the route that he planned and continued hunting with the azure wolf group.
There were a lot of beasts and resources inside Imperial Court blessed land. Especially near the small towers, there were swarms of worms and countless wild Gu.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was something only a small number of Gu Masters had the chance to enter. Most Gu Masters would roam in the huge blessed land, subdue wild Gu, or find inheritances.
Fang Yuan followed the trail and found many Gu Masters.
As for the area near Di Qiu inheritance, there were naturally many Gu Masters pa.s.sing by.
Fang Yuan was not afraid that Di Qiu mountain would get taken by someone. In fact, he was hoping that someone would find it and trigger it. He would get news of it by then and would be able to strike easily.
After all, he had already used his strength to s.n.a.t.c.h an inheritance back on Xing Jiu peak.
Rumble rumble…
There were some loud sounds coming from the ground.
Fang Yuan rode the azure myriad wolf king, and looked down, seeing a small tower s.h.i.+ning with a bright light, sinking into the ground slowly.
Fang Yuan was not surprised.
In the progress of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building"s gradually appearance, the small towers in Imperial Court blessed land would slowly sink into the ground.
These small towers were like nests that were filled with all the wild Gu that had grown in the last ten years.
Many people guessed: The wild Gu in these small towers were the energy source to form Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. In a way, these small towers were a portion of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
This guessed had never gotten confirmation.
Gu Immortals who could confirm this were unable to enter Imperial Court blessed land. And those mortals who could enter were way too weak compared to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they could not decipher it.
But Fang Yuan was an exception.
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has an intriguing design, it is truly a work of heaven. These small towers are indeed a portion of True Yang Building." Fang Yuan was far more knowledgeable than other Gu Immortals in this aspect, because he controlled the most complete information regarding Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
This source of information was Lang Ya land spirit. The land spirit in his life was the rank eight Gu Immortal Long Hair Ancestor who created the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
"Eh? Wait!" Fang Yuan"s body shook, a flash of inspiration appeared in his heart, sweeping away the confusion in his heart.
This moment, he finally found the strange thing about Di Qiu — there was no small tower near Di Qiu!
"Indeed, that is the case." Fang Yuan"s eyes shone with brilliance, in the last few times he brought the azure wolves to hunt, he would either be in the sky near Di Qiu, or the ground near it.
Now that he recalled it, he realized the peculiarity of Di Qiu.
"By logic, every eight li should have a small tower. And every small tower corresponds to the regions in northern plains. But near Di Qiu, there is nothing!"
Thinking so, Fang Yuan got excited.
This was a huge breakthrough!
Following this lead, he could potentially unravel the mystery of Di Qiu inheritance.
But Fang Yuan did not turn back.
Rus.h.i.+ng over in an excited manner like this was asking to be suspected.
He controlled his excited emotions, and continued on the route he had prepared. The azure wolves moved out from the sacred palace, and after one round, returned.
The sacred palace was like a mountain peak, the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building at its peak was still nurturing. The aurora it emitted was covering the entire sacred palace. The grand and beautiful sacred palace was shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura.
Fang Yuan went out to hunt every six or seven days with the azure wolf group.
But plans cannot keep up with circ.u.mstances, three days later, the aurora gathered into one point and starting taking form.
The first layer of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had formed!
This was a joyful news, causing the sacred palace to go into a commotion. At once, everyone"s hot topic was about this building.
Of course, most of the Gu Masters could only watch.
Hei Lou Lan went in excitedly, several hours later, he returned in a pathetic state, wounds covering his body.
His injuries were not light, but they could not conceal the shock in his eyes.
During the second expedition, he brought many Hei tribe Gu Masters.
Hei tribesmen had the bloodline of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they could freely enter and exit True Yang Building without restriction.
During such times, tribesmen were the most reliable. Why was there a need to share with outsiders what one could devour alone?
When Hei Lou Lan returned, he looked extremely tired. As for the Gu Masters who went in, only sixty percent returned.
Thereafter, all sorts of rumors and information spread, they were all regarding True Yang Building.
Some said that the True Yang Building was a work of heaven, it was spectacular; some said that it was difficult to explore, every step was precarious; some said that the rewards for pa.s.sing it was very enticing…
By now, everyone was moved.
