According to legends, there was such a river in this world.
It flowed through the beginning and the end, it contained cause and effect, flowing through every corner of the world, it was everywhere.
With its watering, the world could operate normally, and everything could change.
This river was called the River of Time.
This was a secluded domain of heaven and earth, a hotbed of time path. Countless time path Gu worms lived and multiplied here.
Billions of hectares of river water flowed without restraint, never stopping.
The river water was vast and mighty, the tides rose and fell, waves rolled.
Every drop of the water of time was pale and colorless. But the trillions and trillions of water droplets of time collided and fused with each other, they could burst out with the most dazzling light in the world.
The beauty of this light could not be described with words. Fang Yuan had always felt that this was one of the most beautiful scenes in the world.
When the rank nine Immortal Gu House Heaven Overseeing Tower unleashed an attack that had been prepared for a long time, Fang Yuan was implicated, he could not escape or dodge.
His only remaining choice was to activate Spring Autumn Cicada.
However, the rank six Spring Autumn Cicada had a huge flaw. There was a chance of failure every time it was activated!
On Qing Mao mountain, Fang Yuan had successfully activated it once.
On San Cha mountain, Fang Yuan had successfully activated it again.
Counting the five hundred years of his previous life, Fang Yuan had successfully activated Spring Autumn Cicada three times already.
Now, he finally encountered failure.
Activating Spring Autumn Cicada failed.
Although his will had entered the River of Time, the moment he set off, he felt a chill run down his spine. Spring Autumn Cicada self-detonated, turning into countless fragments.
Fang Yuan's will was like a baby that had lost its boat and fell into the water.
The raging River of Time could instantly devour Fang Yuan's will. Devour, destroy, and completely melt, not even a fragment was left.
"In the end, I still failed …"
At the moment of death, Fang Yuan's remaining will was strangely calm.
There was no impatience, no unwillingness. There was no regret.
He had chosen this path back then. He had already expected the possible outcome. Right now, this situation was already in Fang Yuan's imagination.
There was no other way.
He had used all his strength.
"If I was given another chance, I would still live like this. Hehehe, so be it, my Gu Immortal adventure story will end here. Although he didn't leave behind any biographies or legacies, it doesn't matter. "
Fang Yuan's willpower quickly sank.
He was very calm. He even felt a kind of happiness.
If he still had any face left, the corners of his mouth would have curled up into a subconscious smile.
What was there to regret about dying on the path of one's pursuit?
"Hehehe … Hmm?"
The laughter in Fang Yuan's heart stopped abruptly. Something strange happened at this moment.
Within the vast and desolate River of Time, a ghostly face suddenly appeared.
The ghost face winked at Fang Yuan's remaining will, as if it was mocking him silently.
Then, the pitch-black ghost face's cheeks puffed up, its expression extremely pained. He seemed to be vomiting.
A huge flower bud came out of the ghost face's mouth, dripping wet.
The ghost face's mouth was almost about to burst, the corners of its mouth stretched to its ears in an exaggerated manner.
After spitting out the flower bud, the ghost face relaxed and winked at Fang Yuan again, showing a comical and strange expression. But it was a sinister and terrifying smile.
And that flower bud broke through the river surface and slowly bloomed.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, the flower bud bloomed and turned into a beautiful red lotus!
A faint red light shot out from the heart of the lotus, shining on the location of Spring Autumn Cicada's accident. Thus, the time in the red light began to reverse.
At the same time, the ghost face that carried the red lotus slowly sank into the river.
Like a movie being played in reverse, everything that had happened was moving backwards.
It was also like water that was poured out, automatically returning to the basin.
Fang Yuan's will had almost completely dissipated, only a tiny bit was left and could be directly ignored. But under the illumination of the red light, his will quickly recovered, and countless Gu worm fragments also appeared.
Next, these Gu worm fragments pieced together and turned into the complete Spring Autumn Cicada!
Spring Autumn Cicada carried Fang Yuan's intact will and started its journey again.
The red light dissipated and the red lotus instantly dissipated, while that ghost face was cleanly washed away by the surging river water of the River of Time.
It was as if everything was an illusion.
But Spring Autumn Cicada had already been forcefully restored.
It carried Fang Yuan's will, Fang Yuan's remaining hope as it charged into the river.
Going against the current … with difficulty.
Returning to the past!
…
Star Form blessed land.
Demonic fog shrouded the area, poisonous blood was boiling, the three layers of the Gu formation had already been corroded and destroyed, the surrounding ground had turned into a shallow poisonous swamp.
Fang Yuan had a solemn expression.
"Next is the most difficult immortal material, the earthly limit astral qi."
He took out an immortal material and held it in his hand.
This Gu refinement material was very special, it was made of mud and qi. The mud qi gathered into a lump on its own.
Above it was light green astral qi, below was black mud.
Stellar energy was the weather above the Nine Heavens. Outside the Immemorial Nine Heavens, there was a thick wall of astral energy. If Gu Immortals wanted to explore the nine heavens, they would need to break through the astral qi wall.
As for the black mud, it was the essence condensed from the thick earth energy beneath the ten lands.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth were difficult to coexist in the first place. However, at this moment, the two of them were harmoniously united in the Earthly Limits Astral Energy. Not only did they coexist peacefully, but they were also constantly transforming each other. There was a constant stream of black mud turning into stellar energy, and a constant stream of stellar energy turning into black mud.
Fang Yuan shook his palm, and the ball of Earthly Limits Astral Qi rapidly turned turbid. The Black Mud Astral Qi blended together, forming a ball of gray fog.
But if he didn't shake it, after a dozen breaths of time, the black mud would settle down and his Stellar Energy would be on top. Once again, black and white were distinct and the strange phenomenon of circulating slightly with each other appeared.
"Deal with this immortal material. It was the most troublesome. Ordinary refinement path killer moves could not deal with it perfectly. He could only use the four publicly recognized strongest immortal killer moves to deal with immortal materials — Slumbering Lightning Python, Reflecting Snow, and Muffled Thunder Stone Drum. Only wind grinding could be accomplished in one go. Unfortunately, I do not have these four killer moves. To deal with Earthly Limits Astral Qi, I can only put in a lot of effort. "
A thought flashed in Fang Yuan's mind, he stepped on the ground and his body flew into the air, lightly leaping. He jumped into the tortoise shell. Inside the poisonous blood.
Whoosh!
Fang Yuan's sharp nails flashed as he cut wounds on his six monstrous arms. He then made wounds on his chest, back, and other areas.
Blood refinement killer move — Blood Thread Travel.
Traces of blood flowed out of these wounds.
The blood traces quickly fused into the dark purple poisonous blood. Soon, the poisonous blood in the tortoise shell wok seemed to be drawn in. It started to enter Fang Yuan's wounds.
Intense pain spread, Fang Yuan grunted.
Immortal zombies did not feel pain, Fang Yuan could feel pain because he was using Gu worm methods. He needed to feel pain to understand to what extent the immortal material was being processed.
Fang Yuan's blood and the poisonous blood in the tortoise shell wok continued to mix, forming a cycle that flowed in and out of Fang Yuan's body.
After this process stabilized, Fang Yuan swallowed the Earthly Limits Astral Qi that he had taken out earlier.
Gulp. He swallowed the Earthly Limits Astral Qi.
This was a unique blood path Gu refinement method that he had created in his previous life. He named this the Flesh Body Blood Refinement Method.
The Earthly Limits Astral Qi entered his body and was cleansed by the blood, fusing into the blood.
This blood flowed out of Fang Yuan's body through his wounds, entering the tortoise shell wok. It sank to the bottom of the wok.
At the same time, the poisonous blood in the wok flowed into Fang Yuan's body through his wounds, cleansing the Earthly Limits Astral Qi.
Time passed, three days and two nights passed.
Fang Yuan was covered in injuries, his face was distorted from the pain, his eight monstrous arms were inserted into the poisonous blood, his fangs were exposed, his eyes were bloodshot, he was breathing like a bull.
"There, there is still one night left, I can completely process the Earthly Limits Astral Qi in my body … as long as I get through this, the most difficult step in the process of refining change form Immortal Gu will be over … ugh!"
Suddenly, Fang Yuan's painful expression froze.
His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his bright green eyes suddenly became confused, losing almost all of their divine light.
During the process of refining Immortal Gu, one had to maintain high concentration at all times, how could he be distracted like this?
Puff!
He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood.
Next, he fell down, landing in the poisonous blood in the tortoise shell, creating a huge wave of blood.
The blood wave rushed out of the tortoise shell, splashing on the grass. Soon, a large patch of lush green grass was corroded into dark red smoke.
"Master!" Star Form land spirit shouted with a worried expression as he jumped into the tortoise shell.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan's head popped out of the pool of blood.
He flopped around for a while before standing up again.
The dazed expression on his face faded, his eyes regained their vigor as he muttered: "This is … this is?"
Hearing Fang Yuan muttering to himself, Star Form land spirit became even more worried: "Did master become stupid because of the Immortal Gu refinement failure?"
Fang Yuan first looked at his hands, then at the tortoise shell and the pool of blood, finally his gaze stopped on Star Form land spirit.
"What time is it now?" Fang Yuan asked.
Star Form land spirit's heart jumped, but he still answered: "Many days have passed since master started refining the Immortal Gu."
"Hahahaha …" Fang Yuan raised his head and laughed loudly.
Star Form land spirit's heart turned cold: "It's over, master is really stupid! He failed the Immortal Gu refinement and suffered heavy injuries, he doesn't even remember the specific time, but he is still laughing so happily! "
The joy in Fang Yuan's heart did not need to be told to others.
"I have been reborn again!"
"Even though activating Spring Autumn Cicada failed, because of a change, I was revived from the dead, from defeat to victory, my will has returned to the past."
"I am still refining change form Immortal Gu … was it over a year ago? The time was so short! "
"According to my foundation, with so many Immortal Gu, it should have been at least several hundred years. I only returned to a year ago, is it because I failed to activate Spring Autumn Cicada? "
