Chapter 5: Fake Second Aperture
While the righteous and demonic path were in a stalemate, Fang Yuan once again resumed the refinement.
At this moment, the blue smoke and the yellow light had finally blended with each other.
The blue smoke turned into beads of grass that floated in the air and started growing. The yellow light turned into flowers that fluttered and fell into the grass.
Fang Yuan took out a dagger and cut his artery, bleeding out his own essence blood.
Large amounts of essence blood infused into smoke. The blue smoke and yellow light immediately let out sizzling sounds and turned into a red cloud, like a wave of blood sea.
The blood surged and turned into a sphere that floated in the air without spreading.
After a round of evolution, the smoke sphere settled down and formed a field with abundant red wheat growing in it.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air when he saw this.
He had lost a lot of blood which caused his face to pale. He immediately used a Gu to heal his wound.
"Wild grass grow wildly, the qi of blood like the sea. Three hundred years as spring, five hundred years as autumn…" He took out a lifespan Gu.
This was a three hundred years lifespan Gu which looked like roots with rough texture, like a snake that was coiled into a circle.
Fang Yuan threw it into the smoke in blood field, the cloud of smoke immediate started raging like boiling water.
Right at this time, the land spirit suddenly warned: "Not good, those Gu Masters have started attacking together! There might not be time to refine Gu."
"No need to worry, everything is under my control." Fang Yuan coldly smiled and took out the second lifespan Gu.
Earlier, the righteous and demonic factions were at a stalemate, but this Mo Wu Tian had to ruin it by finding Xiao Mang to cooperate. Chou Jiu could not stop him, he could only go with the flow.
After starting the assault, he tried his best to slow them down.
They had planned to attack from two directions, but because of killer ghost doctor's manipulation, it caused the righteous faction to be further in the advancement, thus taking more hits. Meanwhile, the demonic path had less losses, but the assault's momentum was slowly, they were in danger of being surrounded.
"Chou Jiu, what are you thinking of! You are too muddled, we have to charge with vigor, how can we move so slowly? You are old and confused, can't you see? Our group is already in deep trouble, once our movement stops, we will be surrounded, we will be in greater danger than the righteous path!" Mo Wu Tian was stomping his feet in anger, shouting.
Chou Jiu stared with his eyes wide open, shouting back: "Mo Wu Tian, you junior, why are you screaming for nothing, what do you know? Doing it your way, how many people did we lose earlier! Later when we compete with the righteous faction for the immortal treasure, they will be our enemy, we have to weaken them!"
Saying so, Chou Jiu's tone changed, consoling softly: "Oh young man, it is not wise to charge ahead recklessly."
Mo Wu Tian's heart was furious, as he raised his head and screamed: "Old fool Chou Jiu, we have different opinions! You all can wait here and die, I am going to get my immortal treasure!"
Saying so, he moved ahead and charged towards the bronze hall.
The experts displayed all their abilities, getting close to the bronze hall. Among them, two were at the frontlines, and were the most prominent.
It was none other than Xiao Mang and Mo Wu Tian.
But good times did not last, Ba Huang and Ying Ming, the two dog emperors appeared, blocking their advancement like last time.
"It is time." At the frontlines, Tie Ruo Nan was bathed in blood as she stopped her footsteps, resting as she breathed heavily.
Tie clan's four old-timers were guarding by her side, other than that, there was Tie Bai Qi.
"We are a few thousand steps from the bronze hall, there are many dogs here, it is up to you, Lord Tie Bai Qi." Tie Ruo Nan said.
"Hehehe, I have been watching the whole time, my hands are itching already!" Tie Bai Qi took off his hat, showing off the third eye on his forehead.
Pew!
He activated his Gu worm, pushing the space before him with both hands, forming a black hole.
The black hole continued to spin, as numerous white apes jumped out.
The white ape army gushed out, forming into a strong formation as it charged towards the bronze hall.
"Young master, go ahead. I will block them here." TIe Bai Qi's tone was confident and powerful.
"We'll be counting on you, the Immortal Gu is most important, for the clan, we have to arrest Fang Yuan alive!" Tie Ruo Nan gritted her teeth, waving her hand and bringing the Tie clan four old-timers and starting their invasion.
With the white ape army to cover for them and sacrifice, Tie Ruo Nan successfully made it into the hall.
Fang Yuan was still refining Gu, he could not do anything else!
Land spirit wanted to strike, but Fang Yuan stopped it: "Ba Gui, don't force yourself! You have to control the dog groups while manipulating the immortal essence to assist me in refining Gu, how can you be further distracted? Bai Ning Bing, it will be up to you now, go block her!"
Bai Ning Bing snorted coldly, squinting her eyes as he blocked Tie Ruo Nan, engaging in fierce combat.
In the space before Fang Yuan, cloud smoke was moving violently.
The cloud smoke reacted violently, causing Fang Yuan to almost fail several times, but he managed to salvage it every time.
Behind him, as Tie and Bai fought, Tie clan's four old-timers joined in.
Bai Ning Bing could not rival them, as she fell into a disadvantage, shouting: "Fang Zheng, I can't hold them back anymore, how long more do you need!"
The cloud smoke had finally absorbed the lifespan Gu, turning into the blood fields, golden wheat, filled with crops. It was the 'five hundred years as autumn' scene.
Fang Yuan's voice was nervous: "Hang in there, I need a lot of time!"
"If I die, you will not live too…" Bai Ning Bing cursed continuously.
Several moves later, Bai Ning Bing gasped roughly: "I can't continue! Fang Yuan, I am going to self-destruct!"
"Your aptitude has already returned to a hundred percent?" Fang Yuan was startled.
"What do you think!" Bai Ning Bing cursed.
The cloud smoke was slowly maturing, dissipating. From a water tank's size, it shrunk to a basin's size.
"Try to hold on, unless you can't control it anymore, don't…" Fang Yuan shouted.
"It is too late." Bai Ning Bing sighed deeply.
Crack crack…
Frost quickly gathered, as the cold aura spread everywhere in the main hall and the temperature decrease rapidly.
"What Gu is this?" Tie Ruo Nan's cry of surprise also reached Fang Yuan's ears.
Fang Yuan turned his head with difficulty to look and saw the main hall already becoming a world of ice and snow. Bai Ning Bing was floating high up in the air, her whole body turning into ice crystal, similar to the situation when she had self-destructed back at Qing Mao mountain.
The cold wind blustered and glacier rose, crushing towards Tie Ruo Nan with vast and majestic force.
"Is this the legendary Northern Dark Ice Soul physique?" Tie Ruo Nan cried out in surprise. But it was already too late, she was sealed within the ice like an insect in an amber.
The ice continued spreading towards Fang Yuan.
"Bai Ning Bing? Bai Ning Bing!" Fang Yuan worriedly shouted, but there was no response from Bai Ning Bing.
Her body had almost become one with ice and her whole face had started turning indistinct. Her crystal like eyes no longer shone and had thoroughly dimmed.
"Damn it!" Fang Yuan cursed, standing up and sending the Yang Gu towards Bai Ning Bing.
But halfway, the Yang Gu made a u-turn, and returned to Fang Yuan's right hand.
At the same time, the cloud smoke turned into a Gu worm, landing on Fang Yuan's left hand.
This Gu was like a peanut shell, golden and dazzling, the markings on the surface resembles bright red blood traces.
Earlier, the fake second aperture Gu could only live for a week, and was not stable. But this new Gu could survive for forty years!
