Chapter 156: Dragon Lady
Southern Border, super Gu formation.
Ba Quan Feng looked in Wu clan's direction, wondering discontentedly: "What is going on? This Wu Yi Hai is so patient, he is cultivating in seclusion and not going outside?"
Ba De shook his head.
He said solemnly: "Now it seems, this Wu Yi Hai is not simple at all."
"Or rather, he is even harder to deal with than the rank seven Wu clan Gu Immortal earlier."
Ba Quan Feng laughed:" How can that be? He is merely a lone cultivator from Eastern Sea."
Old Treeman Ba De looked at Ba Quan Feng: "If he is only an ordinary lone cultivator, how can he manage this immortal opportunity business so outstandingly? Even if we place pressure on the business, we cannot do anything to Wu Yi Hai."
"These last days, we have prepared many ways, but this person completely ignored us, facing our taunts, he chose to stay silent and endure it. Such a person is far more dangerous than other Wu clan Gu Immortals."
Ba Quan Feng's expression changed, he breathed in deeply: "Lord Old Treeman, even you give him high praise, it seems this person is really outstanding. Why don't we go and ruin this immortal opportunity business, to force him to act?"
Ba De shook his head: "Impossible, he will definitely not do anything. If we expose this matter, the immortal opportunity business will certainly fall apart since it is not allowed in the first place. But we will not be able to harm Wu Yi Hai, and we will even offend the six other clans with them, all of their animosity will be drawn towards us.
By then, Wu Yi Hai would benefit from it and unite them to form an even tighter political force."
Ba Quan Feng stared with wide opened eyes, bellowing: "Then what do we do?"
"Wait."
"Wait?"
"Wait for an opportunity." Old Treeman Ba De said: "The opportunity that we can create right now is small and insignificant. In that case, we wait for a better opportunity in the future."
Ba Quan Feng gritted his teeth: "Then wouldn't Wu clan be above us? How long would we need to wait, we might have to wait for a very long time."
Old Treeman Ba De's expression turned cold, he no longer spoke, only looking at Ba Quan Feng silently.
Ba Quan Feng felt an immense pressure from his gaze.
He took three steps back, lowering his head as sweat appeared on his forehead: "Lord, I… I…"
"You are too rash Little Feng, these last days, your mental state is not right." Ba De said slowly.
"Yes, yes lord, I was wrong." Ba Quan Feng obediently admitted his mistake in an earnest manner.
"Wu clan indeed lost a rank eight Gu Immortal, but they are still a huge force. The other clans are observing Wu clan, but nobody wants to strike first, because we have not uncovered Wu clan's true foundation yet. If Ba clan is the first to jump out and is met with Wu clan's iron fist, we would suffer a loss, while the other clans would benefit, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will remember lord's words."
"You will stay in seclusion, if Wu Yi Hai does not come out, you will also stay inside." Ba De said expressionlessly.
"Yes, lord." Ba Quan Feng had a bitter expression as he acknowledged this, before taking his leave.
Wu Yi Hai was still inside a dream realm.
The dream was of a metal path Gu Immortal.
After completing this dream realm his attainment rose from Grandmaster to Quasi Great Grandmaster.
Southern Border, Bai Xiang grotto-heaven.
At the center of a huge Gu formation, Bai Ning Bing sat down with difficulty.
Bai Xiang heavenly spirit was in the air, manipulating the Gu formation.
"Next is the most important step, we will target the raging wave rising dragon fire in your body!" Bai Xiang heavenly spirit had a solemn expression: "Young master, you need to persevere and be completely focused, you need to coordinate with the Gu formation and suppress the raging wave rising dragon fire. The entire process will take forty-nine days. During that period, you will not get any rest, if I do not say stop, it would not have ended yet. Even at the final moment, if you lose concentration, you will die for sure."
Bai Ning Bing's eyes were seeing stars, he felt dizzy, almost unable to sit properly.
In this critical junction, his lips curled up, he was smiling.
"Hehehe, this is so fun."
"According to my current condition, this is an impossible task..."
"This can test the true limits of my body."
"Even if I die like this, it is very interesting!"
Breathing in deeply, Bai Ning Bing called out to Bai Xiang heavenly spirit: "Why are you waiting, aren't you going to start?"
Bai Xiang heavenly spirit smiled as he thought: "I had waited so long for this young master to arrive, he seems to be quite capable, he has no fear towards death."
Thinking so, Bai Xiang heavenly spirit activated the Gu formation.
Boom!
At the next moment, brilliant lights burst out of the Gu formation, spreading over the entire place.
"Ah—!" Bai Ning Bing screamed as he raised his head.
A huge flame burst out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Raging flames spread over his body, turning Bai Ning Bing into a human shaped fire pillar.
"Hang on, hang on!" Bai Xiang heavenly spirit screamed anxiously.
Bai Ning Bing's eyes already had turned over to show the whites, the intense pain sent him into despair, he was in a state of being close to unconsciousness.
"Persevere, you cannot slack for even a moment, master, you can do it, you can definitely succeed." Bai Xiang heavenly spirit screamed.
The Gu formation was operating, the pillar of light was tall and mighty, like it was holding up heaven and earth.
The center of the pillar was so shiny that one could not look at the light directly, there was a human shaped figure of fire in it.
It was Bai Ning Bing!
His face and body had all melted, like candles that were exposed to intense heat.
Initially, he screamed in pain, roaring at the sky, nearly fainting.
But afterwards, he survived countless dangerous situations, forcibly preserving his life until now.
Gritting his teeth and enduring.
Next, his teeth and tongue were also melted by the raging wave rising dragon fire, fusing together.
He smiled.
A relentless smile.
Next, he could not even smile anymore, because his nose and face had all melted like wax.
But Bai Xiang heavenly spirit could sense Bai Ning Bing's determination.
His determination was firm as steel, after the burning of the fire and the pain that tempered him, he was becoming more firm and unwavering.
Such determination made even Bai Xiang heavenly spirit lost for words!
Boom!
An intense sound resembled the striking of thunder.
The pillar of light dissipated, as a lump of fire flew upwards.
It was shaped like a fiery dragon, its red body was strong as ever, after flying one round in the sky, it flew down towards Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing was a lump of meat now, his bones, flesh, dao marks, blood, and skin were all fused into one.
The meat seemed like a bottomless hole, absorbing the whole of the fiery dragon that crashed towards it.
Next, the meat turned red, the temperature rose, intense flames were raging nearby, causing distortions in the air due to the high heat.
When the lump of meat became red to the extreme, it exploded, within a bright light, a brand new Bai Ning Bing was born.
"Success, we succeeded!!" Bai Xiang heavenly spirit stared with wide eyes and muttered.
Bai Xiang heavenly spirit was in admiration, he knelt on the ground and said: "Congratulations to master's new life, you have regained your immortal status!"
Bai Ning Bing descended from above.
But at the next moment, shock was expressed in her dragon eyes: "Hmm? What is going on? I already became an immortal, I have a real immortal aperture, why did I become a woman?"
"This…" Bai Xiang heavenly spirit thought about his words carefully before explaining: "The humans alike dragons Gu refinement method uses master as the immortal material. The result of the refinement depends on the proportion of immortal materials and how they mix together.
Master had transformation path dao marks earlier, to think that these dao marks would affect your body and actually influence the final result of the Gu refinement, turning you into a dragon lady."
Bai Ning Bing: "…"
Bai Ning Bing furrowed her brows.
After pondering for a while, Bai Ning Bing asked: "How can I turn back to a man?"
Bai Xiang heavenly spirit replied: "This is easy, just cultivate transformation path in addition."
Bai Ning Bing was knowledgeable, she shook her head: "That does not solve the underlying problem, I have my Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, I will cultivate ice and snow path in the future."
Bai Xiang heavenly spirit thought about it before saying: "Master, you have been reborn, the female body is your true gender. But if you want to change it, you will need to approach its root cause and find the other half of that rotation Gu from the past, and refine it into an Immortal Gu. Using that Immortal Gu, you will be able to become a man."
Bai Ning Bing: "…"
The image of a person appeared in her mind uncontrollably.
"Fang Yuan, to think that you would still be an obstacle to me now. Hmph!" Bai Ning Bing snorted internally, she knew that Fang Yuan had the rank eight battle strength upper extreme heavenly eagle.
She had to plan for a long time to get that crucial Gu worm from Fang Yuan.
A few hours later.
"This is Bai Xiang grotto-heaven!" Hei Lou Lan stepped through the immortal aperture's entrance, officially getting into Bai Xiang grotto-heaven.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Ying Wu Xie and Shi Nu followed behind.
"Hmm? Something's not right." Ying Wu Xie's expression changed.
At the next moment, the surroundings changed, the Gu formation was activated, trapping the four immortals in a special space.
Bai Ning Bing's figure slowly appeared.
Shi Nu was shocked and furious, he growled: "You are Bai Ning Bing? You dare to betray us!"
"Hmph, remnants of Shadow Sect, today will be the day you die!" Bai Ning Bing smiled coldly, a cruel light was shining in her pale blue dragon eyes.
Ying Wu Xie was greatly surprised, Bai Ning Bing had broken free of his control, this was out of his expectations.
He had a flash of inspiration: "So that's it, you used the humans alike dragons Gu refinement method? This method had been lost long ago, Bai Xiang grotto-heaven actually had it?!"
"Honestly speaking, I need to thank you, now accept this present of gratitude from me." Bai Ning Bing snickered, the image of the four immortals faded in front of her, before they vanished completely.
"Wait, we can still negotiate…" Ying Wu Xie had not finished his words when the Gu formation activated, large amounts of snow rained as countless ice spears shot up from the ground, the four immortals quickly defended themselves.
Inside the super Gu formation, Hei Lou Lan, Shi Nu, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Ying Wu Xie were at four spots, defending against Bai Ning Bing.
Howl howl howl…
The super Gu formation was activated, intense winds blew, ice blades shot out, encircling the four Gu Immortals.
With Ying Wu Xie leading and the three immortals helping, they resisted the super Gu formation's pressure. Even though they were in a difficult state, the formation was still quite stable.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
It was Bai Ning Bing, but only her upper body was present, her lower half was like smoke.
'Bai Ning Bing' appeared and charged towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
"Change! Shi Nu, go." Seeing Tai Bai Yun Sheng's predicament, Ying Wu Xie quickly commanded.
A white light appeared on all four of them, before a deep eerie sigh was heard in the sky.
Shi Nu and Tai Bai Yun Sheng had changed locations, swapping as Shi Nu faced 'Bai Ning Bing''s attack.
Shi Nu grunted, defending against it.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was behind Shi Nu, seeing this, he quickly used his cloud path Immortal Gu to heal him.
"Bai Ning Bing, stop it! Fighting would harm us both, only working together will bring benefits."
"Since you are now a dragonman, you are qualified to inherit the Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace. In the past, the dragonmen were extremely powerful with a large number of Gu Immortals, they managed to create Dragon Palace. After the dragonmen went extinct, Immortal Gu House Dragon Palace has been secretly hidden in a certain area of Eastern Sea.
My Shadow Sect knows roughly where it is, but only someone who has used the humans alike dragons Gu refinement method to become a dragonman Gu Immortal can inherit it."
"If you work with us, Dragon Palace will be yours!"
Ying Wu Xie shouted.
Ying Wu Xie was stifled, he called out: "I know, you want that rotation Gu in his hands? That's right, you used the humans alike dragons Gu refinement method but turned into a dragon lady. You want to become a man, you need to solve the origin of the issue. I have the Gu worm that you need! It is with me."
"What?" Bai Ning Bing was surprised.
