Chapter 1272: What is that?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain ended, Fang Yuan had tested this body’s limits.
He did not use any Gu worms, but he was fast like a charging horse.
By just leaping gently, he could jump ten meters of distance.
Jumping down from a hundred and eighty meters while pointing his head downwards, he felt a little dizzy but it only lasted for three breaths of time, and was gone before he knew it.
He had great strength and endurance as well, he ran for minutes without feeling any fatigue at all.
His five senses and visual acuity were beyond amazing! His vision was outstanding, looking ten thousand steps ahead, everything was clear to him.
His heartbeat returned to normal after exercising intensely, every time it beat, it was very strong and lively.
His thinking speed was extremely fast as well. Even if it was under the light of wisdom, he could maintain it for a long time. Even Gu Immortals could rarely reach this extent with only their bodies.
Not just a metal tree, even if a metal hill crashed at him, Fang Yuan would be intact.
This was the sovereign immortal body’s own physique, it had nothing to do with Gu worms, it had to do with his dao marks.
“Inside Reverse Flow River, I cannot use Gu worms, but the same goes for others!”
“Meanwhile, my sovereign immortal body is sufficiently strong, my dao marks are also high in quant.i.ty.”
Fang Yuan thought about it, his mood turned into excitement.
“Ying Wu Xie!”
He flung his limbs as he swam forward like a swordfish.
The whole Reverse Flow River was running quickly, but the overall flow was affected by the formation, it flowed towards Black Extremity and Flood Extremity.
Roar!
A striped tiger was climbing onto a plank with its limbs.
Fang Yuan swam to the tiger but it was unmoved. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan panted as he took a little rest on the plank.
But this plank could not endure the weight of both the human and tiger, it started sinking.
The tiger was anxious, it bore its fangs at Fang Yuan and wanted to bite him, but Fang Yuan snorted and stretched out his arm, crus.h.i.+ng the tiger’s head as he raised his fist and punched this tiger to death.
“Thankfully, this is not a desolate beast but an ordinary beast instead.”
Against a desolate beast, the sovereign immortal body was not enough.
Snowy Mountain blessed land did not lack desolate beasts. But to refine fortune rivalling heaven Immortal Gu, in activating the formation and defending against enemies, Snowy Mountain blessed land had already been modified. Gu Immortals with desolate beasts had kept them in their immortal apertures, they would not allow enemies to kill the desolate beasts, that would just be stupid.
Fang Yuan swam in Reverse Flow River, he wanted to find Ying Wu Xie.
Snowy Mountain blessed land collapsed, Reverse Flow River was pouring out, Fang Yuan did not know that Purple Mountain True Monarch had awakened.
He was still thinking of Old Ancestor Xue Hu as the main enemy. He estimated that Ying Wu Xie had some relations.h.i.+p with Snowy Mountain, but it was not close. Otherwise, why would Old Ancestor Xue Hu not help during the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain?
Fang Yuan’s a.n.a.lysis was not wrong.
But his information path methods were too lacking, he did not have enough intel.
“Right now, even if I meet Old Ancestor Xue Hu, I can survive. Because in Reverse Flow River, Gu worms cannot be used, it is a special environment!”
“Since Ying Wu Xie has some connection with Old Ancestor Xue Hu, if I miss this chance, they will definitely grow rapidly under his protection.”
“If I miss this chance, I might not have another opportunity to eliminate them again!”
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan moved ahead after resting shortly.
But he met Bi Chen Tian.
A Central Continent rank eight Gu Immortal!
Fang Yuan was shocked.
“What is going on?”
“A rank eight Gu Immortal who isn’t Old Ancestor Xue Hu, and is from Central Continent?!”
Bi Chen Tian was in a terrible state, he was covered in injuries as he rested on a huge turtle’s back.
These injuries were not from Reverse Flow River’s journey, but were sustained in the battle earlier. He was a rank eight Gu Immortal, his dao marks conflicted and it was harder to heal from injuries once he sustained them.
But in that battle, he was in a weaker position, how could he have time to heal himself?
Thus, after the main formation collapsed, he was swept by Reverse Flow River and could not use his Gu worms to heal himself, all the way until now.
But fortunately, while being washed away in the river, he met a floating turtle and managed to get a chance to rest on it.
Fang Yuan discovered Bi Chen Tian, Bi Chen Tian also saw Fang Yuan.
But Bi Chen Tian did not recognize Fang Yuan.
Because Fang Yuan was in his sovereign immortal body’s appearance! His original appearance was exposed by Heavenly Court and was spread over all five regions.
Even though Bi Chen Tian did not know Fang Yuan, he frowned and became alert.
Because Fang Yuan’s aura showed that he was a Northern Plains Gu Immortal.
This was also because of the sovereign immortal body.
After pa.s.sing the regional wall, Fang Yuan could change his aura into that of the region he was in, he was a Gu Immortal of the region and could perfectly fuse into it.
“Who is this? He is not one of the peak lords of Snowy Mountain blessed land, however, he could have been recruited by Old Ancestor Xue Hu secretly.”
Bi Chen Tian stood up on the turtle’s sh.e.l.l, looking at Fang Yuan’s every movement.
Inside Reverse Flow River, even though Bi Chen Tian had rank eight cultivation level, his Gu worms could not be used, he had limited battle strength.
Fang Yuan also looked at him alertly, he did not get close.
Even though Fang Yuan had the sovereign immortal body, he would be stupid if he thought he was the strongest person in Reverse Flow River!
Reverse Flow River did not allow Gu worms to be used, but his body was intact, his dao marks were effective.
Fang Yuan’s sovereign immortal body was very powerful, because of the dao marks on the immortal body.
Similarly, if a Gu Master used black boar Gu to gain the strength of a boar, he would have the strength path dao marks carved into his body. If this Gu Master falls into Reverse Flow River, and is unable to use Gu worms, he would still be able to use his body and attack with the strength of a boar.
As for other Gu Immortals, over the long course of their cultivation journey, how could they not use any Gu worms like black boar Gu to increase the number of dao marks in their bodies?
This was natural!
Anyone who was not a fool would know the advantages of such dao marks.
Fang Yuan’s body had its advantages, so did other Gu Immortals, the extent simply varied from one person to another.
For rank eight Gu Immortals, they had deep foundations, Fang Yuan did not want to fight against Bi Chen Tian at the moment.
“You are a Central Continent Gu Immortal?”
“I am a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, but I have a grudge with Old Ancestor Xue Hu.”
“I saw him trying to refine the rank eight Immortal Gu, I did not want him to succeed, so I went to the outside of the blessed land and tried to find a way to break in.”
“Are you a helper for him to refine the Gu?”
Fang Yuan probed.
Bi Chen Tian’s frown eased a little, he answered: “Old Ancestor Xue Hu is also my enemy.”
“Not long ago, I was fighting against him in Snowy Mountain blessed land, but this unexpected surprise happened.”
“My injuries are all caused by Old Ancestor Xue Hu.”
The two talked and exchanged information.
Fang Yuan realized now that so many things had happened in Snowy Mountain blessed land!
But Bi Chen Tian was very vague about many things, Fang Yuan could not get much intel.
They did not trust each other after all.
This was natural.
They only had interacted a little, it was hard to tell what the other person’s intentions were.
And in this situation where Gu worms could not be used, both sides were at their highest alertness.
Fang Yuan knew he could not get more information from Bi Chen Tian and decided to leave.
He left that huge wild turtle.
Even during the conversation, he did not get closer, while Bi Chen Tian did not invite Fang Yuan to rest on the turtle’s back.
Bi Chen Tian saw that Fang Yuan was leaving and his expression relaxed a little.
But at this moment, an unexpected surprise occurred.
Ping.
A soft sound echoed.
A fist-sized thing was washed down by the river, landing on Fang Yuan’s face.
This thing was soft and tiny, like a jellyfish, it stuck to Fang Yuan’s forehead.
“What is this?” Fang Yuan was stunned, he wanted to pull it away.
But at this time, he heard Bi Chen Tian call out: “Be gentle, don’t crush it!”
“Oh?” Fang Yuan was surprised, what was it that made a rank eight Gu Immortal nervous?
