Chapter 137: Failing In Refinement
Central Continent, Earth Abyss.
"This is the final chance, the final set of immortal materials, I cannot fail again!" Ying Wu Xie's forehead was covered in sweat, he gritted his teeth.
"In this situation, I can only use my trump card… I can't care less about the backlash, I need to get through this crisis first!"
Ying Wu Xie made up his mind and activated a certain immortal killer move.
Immortal killer move ——– Burning Soul Bursting Luck
"My main body had explored Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and created this move… luckily, I obtained rank seven soul howl Gu earlier, together with some mortal Gu, I can use this move."
Determination flashed across Ying Wu Xie's eyes.
"I can definitely succeed this time!!" He screamed internally.
He began the refinement, after some time.
Puff!
Ying Wu Xie spat out blood as he fell backwards.
His expression was pale, he fainted at once.
The final attempt at refining Fixed Immortal Travel failed!
White Heaven, Heavenly Court.
The butterfly fluttered its wings, it flew up and down, as jade green light scattered below its beautiful wings.
Eventually, it landed on the tip of Fairy Zi Wei's slender white finger.
Fairy Zi Wei looked at this jade butterfly deeply, smiling as she said: "This is Fixed Immortal Travel?"
"Precisely." An old female Gu Immortal beside her said expressionlessly.
Fairy Zi Wei turned around, expressing her gratitude sincerely: "Merely a rank six Immortal Gu, it actually needed a refinement path great grandmaster like Granny Sha to refine, this was truly its honor."
Granny Sha looked at Fixed Immortal Travel in Fairy Zi Wei's hand as she sighed deeply: "I am an old woman with half my body inside the coffin, what honor is there? By refining Fixed Immortal Travel this time, can I really help you to capture that Fang Yuan?"
Towards Granny Sha's question, Fairy Zi Wei smiled: "This is the result of my deduction, I have sixty percent assurance."
Surprise flashed across Granny Sha's eyes: "You and tower lord are wisdom path Gu Immortals on par with one another, with sixty percent assurance, there is a need to try."
Fairy Zi Wei nodded lightly: "To speak the truth, I was able to deduce because of luck, as I had gotten some crucial information. Fang Yuan having Fixed Immortal Travel and Spring Autumn Cicada is no longer a secret. Some time ago, we captured a demonic path Gu Immortal, Gong Sun Liang, we learned about the boss who had borrowed Gu from him.
Next, we investigated several areas that Fang Yuan might have appeared in, one of them was pot river. At Wind Cloud Manor, Gu Immortal Feng Chan Zi stole the light of the immemorial era from their treasury and sold it to an outsider."
"Thus, you deduced that Fang Yuan's Fixed Immortal Travel has already been destroyed, right?" Granny Sha asked.
"That was a possibility, but looking at the result, we were right." Fairy Zi Wei answered.
"That Fang Yuan has many Immortal Gu, Spring Autumn Cicada has already been sealed, while Fixed Immortal Travel is with us. This way, it is much easier to capture him." Granny Sha said.
Fairy Zi Wei shook her head, she sighed lightly: "Actually, Fixed Immortal Travel is not a problem. It is merely a rank six Immortal Gu, there are too many ways to deal with it."
"That's right." Granny Sha agreed: "It is almost impossible to raise Fixed Immortal Travel to rank seven or eight. The light of the immemorial era needed is too much, even in Heavenly Court's treasury, we can only try to refine the rank seven version three times. As for rank eight Fixed Immortal Travel, it is consigned to history."
Granny Sha continued: "Actually, in Heavenly Court's history, we have owned Fixed Immortal Travel multiple times. In most situations, we gave them to the lower sects for use, and because of tribulations and others reasons, they were lost. Once, Fixed Immortal Travel was in the hands of Heavenly Court Gu Immortal Liang Liang, he raised it to rank seven.
This person cultivated space path alone, but during the rampage of immemorial desolate beasts, he battled and died, the rank seven Fixed Immortal Travel was destroyed during that time."
Fairy Zi Wei continued: "Rushing to refine Fixed Immortal Travel and sealing Spring Autumn Cicada merely cut Fang Yuan's wings. The true problem is finding his hiding spot. Now, I will deduce with my full strength and find him in Central Continent. Granny Sha, I will need your help to refine Immortal Gu and restore Heaven Overseeing Tower."
Granny Sha nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Tower lord is dead, I couldn't save him. But I can rebuild Heaven Overseeing Tower, I am sure he would rest in peace behind the door of life and death if he knows this. Goodbye."
Granny Sha said this as Fairy Zi Wei summoned another Gu Immortal, Myriad Tidal Dragon.
"Feng Chan Zi almost made a great blunder through this selfish use of public assets. It seems that Central Continent has been peaceful for too long, the sects are all complacent and rotting, how can such scoundrels be allowed to tarnish the reputation of Heavenly Court? Punish him to guard Hidden Dragon Cave and Di Zang Sheng for twenty years.
If that Evil Dragon manages to move even a bit, he would be failing his duties, we will take his life as punishment." Fairy Zi Wei said as cold light flickered in her eyes.
Myriad Tidal Dragon nodded as he frowned slightly: "What about Old Man Bei Feng?"
Fairy Zi Wei smiled: "If Old Man Bei Feng wants to come to Heavenly Court, I will personally welcome him. But his grandson will now be guarding Hidden Dragon Cave, with Feng Chan Zi's rank six cultivation level, he cannot deal with it. Since nobody in Heavenly Court is willing to take care of that mess, we will let Old Man Bei Feng handle it."
After pausing for a while, Fairy Zi Wei continued: "I called you here today because I deduced many identities of Defy's members, I want you to go personally and capture a number of them, so that I can get more clues."
"Understood." Myriad Tidal Dragon accepted the order.
"Granny Sha is rebuilding Heaven Overseeing Tower."
"Myriad Tidal Dragon is outside capturing the members of Defy."
"Wei Ling Yang is internally investigating Heavenly Court and modifying our investigative methods, times are different now, we cannot let more traitors come in."
"Now, I will go all out to deduce Fang Yuan's location. We cannot stall this!"
Central Continent, deep in Earth Abyss.
Ying Wu Xie woke up slowly.
"What happened? This is…" Ying Wu Xie was in a daze, gradually, clarity returned to his eyes.
He remembered everything.
"Damn it, I failed in refining Fixed Immortal Travel! After using my trump card, my luck rose immensely, why did I not succeed? Now, I have lost everything, and my soul's injury is severe." Ying Wu Xie had a pale expression as he clenched his fists.
He was upset, and also lost, he did not know what to do now.
Suddenly, the surroundings shook, Ying Wu Xie's super Gu formation started to activate rapidly.
"Oh no! This is the deduction of a wisdom path great expert, the super Gu formation's automatic defenses has been activated!" Ying Wu Xie gasped in his mind, his face turned even more pale now, without a trace of rosiness.
As the super Gu formation continued to run, resisting the wisdom path deductions of the mysterious great expert, the entire Gu formation was shining in dark eerie light, it was cracking under the pressure.
"In just a short time, who is it that has made the super Gu formation so overworked? Only Heavenly Court's wisdom path great expert can do it!" Ying Wu Xie's expression was pale, his back was covered in sweat.
"Never mind if I die, but my main body will fall into a desperate situation. I, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, will die for real! I will become history. I am not resigned to that fate!"
Ying Wu Xie howled, he struggled to get up.
He invested his attention and immortal essence into the super Gu formation.
The Gu formation started to become more stable, the eerie light flowed like water, moving in the formation, the cracking sounds also became softer.
With a Gu Immortal controlling it, the Gu formation could display a completely different level of power!
Earlier, this super Gu formation did not have Ying Wu Xie controlling it, but it could still defend against Fairy Zi Wei's deductions. With Ying Wu Xie's support, its might rose by more than ten times, the situation was under control.
But Ying Wu Xie's situation was becoming worse.
Because the Gu refinement failed, and he used his trump card killer move to increase his luck, his soul was severely injured.
After waking up, he controlled the super Gu formation without rest, he did not even have time to heal his injuries.
Ying Wu Xie controlled the super Gu formation for a while, he felt dizzy and saw stars in the air, his body was shaking as he almost fainted again.
"No! This super Gu formation is hard to control, we have to defend against the wisdom path deduction, my mental energy is severely drained, I cannot continue resisting it."
Ying Wu Xie's heart sank.
"Shi Nu! Hei Lou Lan!" He called, left with no choice, he told these two the secret method to manipulate the super Gu formation and let them control it.
A while later, he could not endure it anymore, he fainted.
"Master!" Shi Nu was very loyal, after being able to control the super Gu formation, he found that Ying Wu Xie's situation was bad and quickly used the Gu formation to heal Ying Wu Xie.
Hei Lou Lan was in charge of defending against Fairy Zi Wei's deduction.
The situation was stable again.
Ying Wu Xie finally woke up again.
He was in a better state, once he woke up, he asked: "How long was I unconscious for?"
Shi Nu replied: "Two days and three nights, master."
"Did they stop the deduction?" Ying Wu Xie asked again.
"Not even once." Hei Lou Lan transmitted.
Ying Wu Xie's expression was grim, his heart sunk to rock bottom: "Two days and three nights of deduction without stopping, the other party is indeed a wisdom path great expert of Heavenly Court, their wisdom path attainment can match Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord! Sigh, Heavenly Court…"
"Master, what do we do now?" Shi Nu asked.
Ying Wu Xie fell into deep contemplation.
He racked his brains, thinking hard!
"Heavenly Court targeted me not only to deal with Shadow Sect, but also because they want to pursue Fang Yuan. My body is originally Fang Yuan's, in a way, I am shielding him from this disaster."
"It is very strange that I failed to refine Fixed Immortal Travel this time. I had ten chances and extremely high luck in the final one. Even if my luck was split, the chances of success are still very high. Fang Yuan could succeed his refinement even in that situation. My situation was far better than his, yet I still failed. I am afraid Fixed Immortal Travel has already been refined by someone.
If that is so, it is likely Heavenly Court!"
At this time, over in Lang Ya blessed land, the traitor Sixth Hair had already sent a letter to Ying Wu Xie.
Thus, Ying Wu Xie had a clear understanding of Fang Yuan's situation.
"It seems I can only sacrifice a rook to save the king." Ying Wu Xie had a resolute expression.
He decided to abandon his subordinates to obtain a chance to escape.
Using the super Gu formation, his aura could be concealed for some time, Fairy Zi Wei's deductions would be drawn to the super Gu formation.
This way, Ying Wu Xie could escape in the meantime, going through the regional walls and leaving Central Continent.
"I failed to refine Fixed Immortal Travel, but I am only a rank six bottom-tier immortal zombie, it is far easier for me to pass the regional walls compared to rank sevens and eights. Now, I can only work hard to travel the four regions and gather my remnant forces. Even if Heavenly Court has the rank six Fixed Immortal Travel, those rank eight Gu Immortals cannot use it.
Heaven Overseeing Tower has been destroyed, they cannot locate me as well."
"I can only abandon this place. And to control the Gu formation, at least two rank sixes or one rank seven are needed…"
Ying Wu Xie thought about it and decided to give up on Shi Nu, bringing Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan with him.
Shi Nu had no objections, he was utterly loyal, he even passed all of his accumulated Gu worms and the rockman tribe in his immortal aperture to Ying Wu Xie completely.
Ying Wu Xie's immortal aperture was a dead land, he kept the Gu worms while passing the rockman tribe to Hei Lou Lan, letting them live in her immortal aperture.
Bringing Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, with Shi Nu left to draw the attention, Ying Wu Xie retreated, his target was the closest regional wall.
