Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and sent an Immortal Gu of Wisdom Path into the supreme true inheritance. At the same time, he handled several matters simultaneously. First, he concealed himself, then he destroyed the Human Path clone along with the will inside it.
A moment later, he appeared far outside Sacred Palace atop the Wolf Emperor. His appearance had already been concealed through the killer move Familiar Face, which used rank eight Attitude Gu as its core. Even Heaven's Will would not be able to see through it.
Fang Yuan's gaze landed on Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Just a few minutes ago, gentle winds had begun to blow. Those winds gradually grew stronger and stronger. Clouds gathered in the sky with Tai Bai Yun Sheng at their center. The surrounding environment was quietly and rapidly changing.
The heavens and earth began to tremble, and Fang Yuan could clearly see heaven and earth qi surging densely through the surroundings.
Gu Masters fled from Sacred Palace while shouting and pointing toward Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Even Hei Lou Lan and the rank five experts did not dare approach him.
Hei Lou Lan was extremely anxious as she thought:
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng is undergoing immortal ascension?! Why?! He already obtained Lifespan Gu, so why would he take such a risk and ruin everything?!"
She felt intense hatred toward Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
She had yet to obtain a Strength Path Immortal Gu, and now Tai Bai Yun Sheng was undergoing immortal ascension. As the daughter of two Immortal Gu Masters, Hei Lou Lan understood the dangers of immortal ascension very well.
She had no doubt that the consequences of this would be enormous. Most likely, she would fail to obtain a Strength Path Immortal Gu and would ultimately die from self-detonation after leaving.
The dark tribulation clouds churned violently.
The winds howled as a formless heavenly force lifted Tai Bai Yun Sheng into the air.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed madly while sobbing loudly.
Over the past few days, nightmares had haunted him, while regret and a strange emotion tore at his heart. Tai Bai Yun Sheng could no longer continue living as he was!
Thus, he would either find meaning in his life after immortal ascension or die as atonement for his sins.
His long white beard fluttered wildly in the wind while saliva flew from his mouth.
Below him, a stream of people fled Sacred Palace in panic.
The experts had already gathered among distant hills and were using investigative Gu worms to observe the situation.
"Unbelievable! Tai Bai Yun Sheng hasn't even used any Gu worms, yet he's already causing such a phenomenon in heaven and earth!"
Many Gu Masters cried out in awe as they looked upon the dark tribulation clouds and raging winds.
The earth also shook violently, cracks spreading everywhere as earth qi surged upward and revolved around Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Fang Yuan secretly observed while inspecting Tai Bai Yun Sheng's luck.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's luck blazed like an inferno, indicating that he would succeed in this immortal ascension.
Just like in Fang Yuan's previous life.
Fang Yuan watched as a vortex formed in the sky and descended toward Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Simultaneously, the earth split apart and another vortex emerged from below, also rushing toward him.
At the center, where Tai Bai Yun Sheng's shattered aperture had once been, an extremely dense human qi appeared, revealing the profound foundation and accumulation of his life.
The human qi was white in color and formed into a cocoon around Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
It wrapped around him layer upon layer while heaven qi descended like rain and earth qi erupted upward from below.
"The first step of immortal ascension is shattering the aperture. After that comes absorbing heaven and earth qi and maintaining the balance of the three qi… This will be very useful when I undergo immortal ascension myself!"
Hei Lou Lan thought excitedly.
"Shattering the aperture is the point of no return. The only possibility of survival is success; failure means certain death. Furthermore, the three qi test a Gu Master's nature and control. If human qi exceeds the balance even slightly, the Gu Master explodes. If heaven qi exceeds it, the Gu Master dissolves into the heavens. If earth qi exceeds it, the Gu Master turns into a statue and suffocates to death… It's difficult, truly difficult… like leaping into the sky in a single step."
Ye Lui Sang could not help releasing a sigh of lament.
As for Fang Yuan?
He remained completely calm. Tai Bai Yun Sheng's immortal ascension had no effect on him whatsoever.
Fang Yuan could undergo immortal ascension while sleeping, and no one could compare to him in terms of foundation, life accumulation, or experience.
If one compared Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng in terms of accumulation, it would be like comparing an infant to a grown man.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's accumulation and inheritance might be impressive, and his chances of success might be extremely high. Without question, he would rank among the top Immortal Gu Masters in terms of potential.
But in Fang Yuan's eyes, this was nothing remarkable.
Twilight illuminated the evening sky.
Then, accompanied by a thunderous rumble, the twilight itself seemed to split apart.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building suffered violent tremors, and even Sacred Palace began shaking as well.
Dust billowed into the air while numerous beautiful palaces and courtyards collapsed.
"What is happening?!"
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
Fang Yuan sneered as he received a message from the land spirit.
"Master! Let me tear that bastard apart and rip out his tendons! He dares absorb heaven and earth qi and devour the foundation of the blessed land!"
Frost Jade Peacock was furious, but it could not disobey Fang Yuan's orders.
"Land Spirit, there is no need to shout. Just activate the formation and open the gate of the blessed land!"
In an instant, the entire blessed land trembled as a super Immortal Gu formation activated.
The gate of the blessed land opened, attracting unimaginable quantities of heaven and earth qi from the outside world.
The snowstorm outside infiltrated the blessed land, but it was immediately suppressed by the heavenly power.
"Hm?"
A faint murmur echoed from the depths of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, as though someone had just awakened from a dream.
"Who has the audacity to wake me?!"
Within the endless and terrifying darkness, Giant Sun's will awakened.
It took the form of a gigantic human figure shining like the sun itself!
Fang Yuan laughed.
At the same moment, he coughed up a mouthful of blood as his will inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building collided with Giant Sun's will and launched a surprise attack.
