There might be many people who haven't read the original work, so in this chapter, I will briefly introduce Fang Yuan's life. Those who have read the original can choose to read it or skip it.
Besides that, I will also introduce some settings of the Gu World to make it easier for everyone to read the following text.
Humans are the spirit of all living things, and Gu are the essence of heaven and earth. For a Gu Master, nurturing Gu, using Gu, and refining Gu are all indispensable. Gu worms are strange and varied, numbering in the countless; a single type of Gu worm usually has only one ability. For example, the spring autumn cicada can only be used for Rebirth, and the moonlight gu can only produce moonblades for attack.
Gu worms also have Realms, ranging from Rank One to Rank Nine. Rank Five is mortal, rank six is immortal, and Rank Nine refers to the legendary Venerables. Gu Masters are the same. In the history of the Gu World, there have been ten great Venerables, namely:
Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, Limitless Demon Venerable, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, Crazy Savage Demon Venerable, Demonic Venerable Dao Tian, Red Lotus Demon Venerable, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, and Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable.
Including the later Fang Yuan, there are a total of eleven great Venerables in the Gu World. As for the Great Dream Immortal Venerable Feng Jin Huang, she's just a complete joke, so let's just assume she isn't one.
Gu Masters from Rank One to Rank Five possess apertures. The primeval essence from Rank One to Rank Five, from low to high, are bronze primeval essence, red iron primeval essence, silver primeval essence, Golden True Essence, and Purple Crystal True Essence.
After reaching the Rank Five Peak, a Gu Master can shatter their aperture to undergo tribulation. After passing the Immortal Ascension tribulation, the Gu Master will transform from mortal to immortal, becoming a Rank Six Gu Immortal and possessing dao marks.
After becoming an immortal, the aperture transforms into an immortal aperture. Inside the immortal aperture, a world of its own is formed. For example, Fang Yuan's supreme immortal aperture has a space of 500 million mu, which is equivalent to a Kazakhstan.
Gu Immortals build resource points within their immortal apertures and sell the resources obtained in Treasure Yellow Heaven to exchange for cultivation resources. Gu Immortals increase their cultivation by undergoing Earth Tribulations and Heavenly Tribulations. After becoming a Gu Immortal, primeval essence becomes immortal essence. From rank six to Rank Nine, from low to high, they are:
green grape immortal essence, red date immortal essence, and white litchi immortal essence, up to the Rank Nine yellow apricot immortal essence.
Within each major Realm, there are four minor Realms: initial stage, middle stage, high stage, and Peak.
There are no invincible Gu worms, only invincible Gu Immortals. The power of a single Gu worm is not enough, but when a group of Gu worms are activated together, they can unleash even greater power, which we call a — [Killer Move].
Besides [Killer Moves], there are also [immortal gu houses] and [Gu Formations], both of which are composed of Gu worms. [immortal gu houses] integrate offense and defense; under human control, a rank six can fight a Rank Seven, similar to mechas or fortresses.
[Gu Formations] are the same, similar to [immortal gu houses], but most of them cannot move.
Primeval Stones are the currency of the Gu World, circulating among Gu Masters, similar to the Spirit Stones in ordinary cultivation novels. immortal essence stones are also a type of currency, circulating among Gu Immortals.
Gu Masters can absorb natural primeval essence from Primeval Stones for their own use. Gu Immortals can refine immortal essence stones into green grape immortal essence, but generally speaking, they do not do so and usually only use them as currency.
Having finished talking about Gu worms, Primeval Stones, [Killer Moves], [immortal gu houses], and [Gu Formations], next I will talk about Fang Yuan's life:
Fang Yuan was originally a student from Huaxia on Earth who transmigrated to the Gu Yue Village on Qing Mao Mountain in the Southern Border of the Gu World by chance. His aperture Aptitude was only C-grade, and he was looked down upon by his Family. Later, he left the village and joined a Caravan.
After traveling through the Five Regions, experiencing hardships to make a living, and forming a connection with the Mermaid Saintess, he became a Blood Path Gu Immortal and founded the Blood Wing Demonic Cult in the Central Continent.
To refine the immortal gu spring autumn cicada, he slaughtered tens of millions of people. This action triggered a siege by the Righteous Path alliance, and he was eventually forced to self-detonate, while using the power of the spring autumn cicada to Rebirth back to 500 years ago.
After Rebirth, he returned to the eve of the Aperture Opening Ceremony. Although he still had C-grade Aptitude, he used his memories of his previous life to plan ahead.
He seized the Flower Wine Walker's Legacy and killed Jia Jin Sheng and others to silence them. During the beast tide on Qing Mao Mountain, he used Gu Yue Yao Le to refine the Man-Beast Burial Gu to advance to Rank Three, which is the well-known [Little Bear Biscuit] incident. Facing the crisis of the Gu Yue First Generation ancestor turning into a zombie and slaughtering his clansmen, he self-detonated for the second time to Rebirth. Ultimately, he used the blood skull gu to raise his Aptitude to A-grade, which is the so-called [A-grade aptitude for the whole clan].
Afterward, Fang Yuan designed a way to escape the entanglement of Heavenly Crane Venerable and fled Qing Mao Mountain with Bai Ning Bing, who had turned into a female after being resurrected. This is the so-called [two catties of rotten meat and ninety-eight catties of rebellious bones].
This is the end of Volume 1.
Fang Yuan used the alias [Fang Zheng] to travel the Southern Border. He kidnapped the Hundred Families Siblings at White Bone Mountain and "jumped in anxiety by the fire pit," kicking the two into the fire to refine the [bone flesh reunion gu], escaping with the help of the Footless Bird.
Later, using the alias [Hei Tu] and with Bai Ning Bing using the alias [Bai Yun], he approached Shang Xin Ci. By manipulating the situation, he sought Shang Family resources. Although the gains were not large, he obtained the legendary Gu worm [all-out effort gu] in Shang Family City.
Afterward, he went to Three Kings Mountain to seek legacies. During this time, he subdued a Refinement Path Gu Master but was backstabbed by Bai Ning Bing. He had no choice but to activate the spring autumn cicada again to Rebirth. After Rebirth, he reversed the situation and refined the fixed immortal travel immortal gu.
Using fixed immortal travel, Fang Yuan teleported to Soul Searching Mountain. On the mountain, he kicked the Bird-watching Immortal Venerable Feng Jin Huang and seized the Fox Immortal Blessed Land. At this point, Volume 2 concludes.
In Fox Immortal Blessed Land, Fang Yuan resisted an Earth Tribulation. During the Earth Tribulation, Fang Yuan killed the desolate beast Mud Swamp Crab, but Soul Searching Mountain was contaminated by the reconcile.
To save Soul Searching Mountain, Fang Yuan stepped into the Northern Plains and assumed the identity of the Wolf King, Elder of Chang Family, to participate in the Horde Contest, where he met Ge Yao.
Ge Yao fell in love with Fang Yuan, but she discovered fixed immortal travel, which sealed her fate. Finally, Ge Yao was stabbed by "Elder of Chang Family" and fed to the wolves, which is the so-called [Little Wolf Biscuit].
During the Horde Contest, Fang Yuan assisted Hei Lou Lan in becoming the horde lord and met his future Senior Brother, Great White Cloud Life.
In King Court Blessed Land, he also destroyed the eight-eight true yang building and underwent tribulation within the blessed land to rise to a Rank Six Gu Immortal. Although forced to transform into an Immortal Zombie, he created the Killer Move "Myriad Self," possessing combat strength comparable to Rank Seven. He also said that famous line:
"Have you not heard that heaven never seals off all paths? As long as I want to walk, the path is beneath my feet."
He successfully escaped from King Court Blessed Land. Using his Senior Brother Great White Cloud Life's the land remains as before immortal gu, he saved Soul Searching Mountain. At this point, Volume 3 concludes.
Thereafter, he assisted Hei Lou Lan in her Immortal Ascension, joined the Zombie Alliance, and killed Eternal Ordinary in Bitan Blessed Land. Later, during the great battle between the righteous and demonic paths at Yi Tian Mountain, he rebirthed again. After Rebirth, he seized the fruits of the Shadow Sect, obtained the Rank Nine Supreme Immortal Fetus Gu, and happily shed his zombie body. At this point, Volume 4 concludes.
Later, he refined the Rank Seven Persistence Immortal Gu on the Reverse Flow River and created the second style of Myriad Self — the [Reverse Flow River Protection Seal]. After shedding his zombie body, he continuously annexed the immortal apertures of others, and his cultivation gradually rose to Rank Eight.
Later, during the Fate War, Fang Yuan was slapped to death by Duke Long and self-detonated for the fifth time to Rebirth.
After Rebirth, he initiated the second Fate War, eventually refining with Feng Jiu Ge and personally destroying Fate Gu, allowing all living beings to escape the shackles of fate.
Afterward, he was pursued by multiple parties. He participated in the final decisive battle on the ninth floor of Crazed Demon Cave. With the help of Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable's Legacy, he suppressed Venerables such as Star Constellation and Giant Sun, witnessed Limitless Demon Venerable starting a mukbang where Chaos melted in the mouth, and even backstabbed his Fellow Daoist Paradise Earth, successfully Undergoing Tribulation to become a Refinement Path Rank Nine Gu Venerable, calling himself the [Great Love Immortal Venerable].
(Heavenly Court and eternal heaven call him the [Heaven Refining Demon Venerable].)
After becoming a Venerable, he founded the Heaven and Earth Great Love Alliance, refining immortal gu for everyone to break the resource monopoly, forming a tripartite confrontation with Giant Sun and Star Constellation.
From then on, Fang Yuan broke free from his previous status as a pawn of Heaven's Will and the Venerables, becoming a core figure who planned the heaven and earth of the Gu World and held the fate of the Five Regions in his hands.
What happened next? Then you have to ask the Third Young Master.
