Chapter 143: Treasure Yellow Heaven Opens
Time continued to pass, half a month soon passed, but treasure yellow heaven still had no change.
Sixth Hair was sowing discord everywhere, the hairy man Gu Immortals' attitude towards Fang Yuan was getting worse.
Some were pointing at Fang Yuan in the face, scolding him for being a traitor, even though he joined Lang Ya Sect, he was not contributing it.
"I have a reason for everything I do." Fang Yuan explained plainly, after that, he stayed in his cloud city and rarely moved around.
Fang Yuan continued to wait.
After some time Lang Ya land spirit summoned Fang Yuan, but this time he didn't ask him to deal with the falling star hound, instead, something huge was happening in Northern Plains!
Hei tribe was facing a destructive crisis, they were in dire straits.
Days passed by.
The battles involving Hei tribe continued to aggravate. Countless Gu Immortals got involved, some won while others lost, countless schemes were used, it was like a huge spiral, and this spiral was expanding, sucking in even more people. At this rate, the spiral was becoming chaotic and uncontrollable.
Many secluded cultivators could not resist the temptation, they appeared.
There were people like Fang Yuan as well, biding their time.
Time passed, the commotion in Northern Plains intensified.
The web around Hei tribe was starting to tighten.
Even though Hei tribe's Gu Immortals resisted strongly, they still lost bit by bit, with no hopes of winning. The intense aura of blood attracted more and more hungry sharks that came after Hei tribe's immense assets.
Hei tribe headquarters, Iron Eagle blessed land.
Right now, Hei tribe's Gu Immortals were gathered, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
Hei Cheng's four top supreme elders were seated at the highest position. Hei Cheng was captured by Fang Yuan, his good friend Hei Bai was injured. The other six Hei tribe Gu Immortals were all rank six.
The atmosphere was heavy.
"The tribe is facing a calamity, we are all pillars that hold up Hei tribe, let's talk about it, how can we survive this crisis?" First supreme elder initiated, breaking the silence.
But Hei tribe's Gu Immortals simply looked at one another in turn, nobody said a thing.
Second supreme elder sighed: "If not for the fact that an accident happened when we used Green City Rampage, causing us to be unable to separate, the situation would be much better now."
"It is all because of Hei Cheng! This person is a sinner of our tribe!! That daughter of his caused this mess. He even lost our Immortal Gu House Dark Prison, he truly deserves death without sympathy!" A Hei tribe Gu Immortal scolded angrily.
"Indeed, indeed."
"Hei Cheng is a heinous sinner…"
At once, Hei tribe's Gu Immortals spoke agitatedly.
After a while, third supreme elder could not stand it anymore, he said: "Enough, at this point, the matter has already happened, what can cursing do? We are in a crisis now, if cursing could save us, I would have done it long ago. We are all members of Hei tribe with the same bloodline, if the tribe is wiped out, none of us will be spared. You should all know this."
Once he said that, the berating stopped.
Fourth supreme elder coughed: "Regarding our current situation, if anyone has any input, you can mention it."
The immortals were silent.
"I have something to say." At this point, a rank six Gu Immortal spoke.
Everyone looked over, it was Hei Bai.
"Speak, we are listening."
"I want to see what great idea you have, Hei Bai?"
The Gu Immortals spoke in cold tones, they hated Hei Cheng, that hatred extended to Hei Bai as well.
Hei Bai's expression did not change, he was like a rock, saying solemnly: "In this situation, I do not need to speak much, you are all aware of it. Not only the righteous path and demonic path Gu Immortals, even lone immortals are coming to get a share. The only reason for this is due to benefits."
"Everyone kicks a man who is down, the survival of our tribe is most important. As long as we survive, be it resources, benefits, or reputation, they are all things we can give up."
"You want us to surrender? Our tribe had traitors like Hei Lou Lan and Hei Cheng, Imperial Court blessed land was also destroyed, do you think the Huang Jin families would let us off?" Some Gu Immortals immediately mocked and sneered.
Hei Bai shook his head: "The Huang Jin tribes will not let us off, but there is one person in Northern Plains now who can help our Hei tribe escape this crisis."
"Who?"
Hei Bai said a name.
The immortals heard this and were all shocked.
...
Eastern Sea, on a common island.
"This is the island." Ying Wu Xie looked around, letting out a breath of air.
"Fang Yuan, this is the turbulent flow sea area?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng guessed, he had once roamed in Eastern Sea, he could differentiate the locations of Eastern Sea.
Ying Wu Xie smiled: "That's right, master had given me information about this secret base, we can rest and recover here."
Ying Wu Xie willed, after a while, he waved his hand, saying: "Follow me."
Immediately, a certain arrangement was activated in this place.
Hei Lou Lan and the others' field of vision changed, when they regained their senses, they were already under the island.
"This is an Immortal Gu House?!" Hei Lou Lan was shocked, Shadow Sect was a huge force, there were arrangements in all five regions. Even though Yi Tian Mountain was a failure, the remaining forces were not to be underestimated!
But what happened next was more shocking to her.
The three immortals followed Ying Wu Xie, going inside the palace.
The palace doors opened on its own, it recognized Ying Wu Xie's identity and welcomed the owner.
"This is?"
"So many Immortal Gu!"
Once they entered the palace, Shi Nu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng could not help but cry out.
Ying Wu Xie explained while smiling: "The turbulent flow sea area is a hugely advantageous location, it has a collection of the world's currents running through here, among them is a tributary of the River of Time. Thus, even though this is not a blessed land or grotto-heaven, it is a rare place to store treasure in the five regions."
"My Shadow Sect had already found out this tributary of the River of Time long ago, we made this arrangement on the island. We dug out the island's interior and put an Immortal Gu House here, drawing strength from the River of Time to refine Gu. Thus, once in a while, Immortal Gu refine themselves."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had a guess already, he could not help but ask: "Don't tell me, this Immortal Gu House is the legendary Regret Pool?"
Ying Wu Xie nodded before shaking his head: "This is only most of Regret Pool, even though we have Regret Pool's greatest ability, the Gu refinement aspect, its attack and defense are horrible. Once it is placed, it cannot be moved."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard this and was shaking from excitement: "There are three great pools in this world, Heavenly Pool, Regret Pool, and Wine Pool, they are famous in the history of the five regions. To think that I can get to see Regret Pool today!"
Hei Lou Lan was less well informed, she had less information regarding time path compared to Tai Bai Yun Sheng, she asked: "Refining Immortal Gu is extremely difficult, this Regret Pool is only an Immortal Gu House, it can refine so many Immortal Gu by itself?"
Ying Wu Xie smiled and explained: "Regret Pool is a time path Immortal Gu House, its Gu refinement ability is both amazing and weak. When Shadow Sect's Gu Immortals refine Immortal Gu successfully here, we will leave an insignia behind.
When the Immortal Gu is destroyed, Regret Pool can be activated, using the power of the tributary of the River of Time and the preserved insignia to refine the Immortal Gu again, the success rate is about fifty to sixty percent."
"Fifty to sixty percent?!" Hei Lou Lan was shocked by the extremely high chance of success.
"There are flaws too. After succeeding in the Gu refinement, the insignia would vanish, Gu Immortals have to replenish it themselves. And if not for this hidden tributary of the River of Time, it would be too hard to activate this effect, it cannot be used much." Ying Wu Xie added.
Hei Lou Lan still had shock on her face, she looked at the Immortal Gu in front of her as she sighed, deeply moved: "Even so, it is very strong."
Ying Wu Xie laughed as he raised his head: "We are in a dangerous situation, you have all lost your Immortal Gu. The Immortal Gu here are compensation, pick what you want!"
Right before Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, there were over a dozen Immortal Gu.
But looking at these Immortal Gu, the joy on their faces faded gradually.
"I have the Great Strength True Martial Physique, but there are no strength path Immortal Gu among these Immortal Gu…" Hei Lou Lan shook her head, she said with a regretful tone.
"Sigh! Fang Yuan, you know that I cultivate time path, if I use these Immortal Gu…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was in the same state, there were no time path Immortal Gu among these Immortal Gu.
Most of the Immortal Gu were soul path.
Shi Nu was silent, he was an earth path Gu Immortal, there were two Immortal Gu here which were earth path, but his original Immortal Gu were still around anyway.
Ying Wu Xie nodded, the smile on his face did not fade.
"No problem. You are all worried about conflicting dao marks, I have a special method to allow you to cultivate another path, without having it clash with your original main path."
"There is such a thing?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng stared with wide eyes that were almost popping out.
Shi Nu's emotionless face had also changed. This method was simply unheard of!
Hei Lou Lan squinted her eyes, she was suspicious that Ying Wu Xie was trying to increase his control over them, she felt that this was a scheme.
She spoke: "How can there be something as good as this? There has to be a downside, with such a special method, the drawback has to be severe?"
Ying Wu Xie smiled: "I can assure you, there are no side effects."
Time passed quickly.
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.
Since Fang Yuan's second earthly calamity, more than a month had passed.
Treasure yellow heaven had still not opened, there were no changes.
Fang Yuan could sense the third calamity already.
Some days later.
Eventually, Fang Yuan obtained information that Northern Plains Gu Immortals were attacking Hei tribe's headquarters.
Fang Yuan immediately left, he was very resolute, using the transportation formation to leave Lang Ya blessed land.
Lang Ya land spirit supported his actions.
Because this was a good chance to observe Northern Plains' Gu Immortal world, and become aware of all the respective forces' strengths, if they were lucky, they could obtain a lot of benefits!
Fang Yuan did the same thing again, the moment he appeared in Northern Plains, he used Dark Limit, familiar face, and other methods to conceal his identity.
At the same time, he used sword escape Immortal Gu and blood torrent to travel rapidly.
He moved very quickly, he encountered no trouble.
Northern Plains' Gu Immortals were mostly gathered in Hei tribe's headquarters, this allowed Fang Yuan to travel unhindered.
Not long later, Hei tribe's headquarters was right in front of him.
Right at this moment treasure yellow heaven opened.
It was getting heated.
Treasure yellow heaven's reopening caused all of the Gu Immortals who were waiting patiently to burst out with enthusiasm.
The following events played out just like Fang Yuan's previous life like Hei tribe getting attacked by Huang Jin tribes and Hei tribe submitting to Bai Zu tribe to survive, but this time Fang Yuan disguised himself as Chu Du and snatched the thirteenth eagle nest of Hei tribe.
