Elsewhere,
In another secret room, two women could be seen entering.
The first woman entered the room cautiously, carefully surveying every nook and cranny, she had sharp eyes and eyebrows as straight as a sword.
The second woman entered only after the first ensured her that there were no traps, she to was cautious as she sized up the room, her deep blue eyes were clear, calm, and peaceful, like a lake. She was dressed in white, which only further exemplified her icy nature. Her skin was flawlessly pale, like snow, her demeanour was cold and aloof.
It was none other than Tie Ruo Nan and Bai Ning Bing!
"Mistr…Master Bing," Tie Ruo Nan cupped her hands and greeted: "It appears Feng Jin Huang was telling the truth there is a powerful Immortal Gu up ahead!"
The pair walked towards the centre of the room, there stood a pedestal with a glowing white orb suspended above it.
Bai Ning Bing glanced at the orb: "I can sense an incredible Gu aura that supersedes any Rank 7 Gu it has to be a Rank 8 Gu at the very least!"
Bai Ning Bing's face was calm as ever, but her heart was racing wildly: "Rank 8 Gu! Guess this trip wasn't a waste after all."
But if Fang Yuan had thought her anything it was to always remain cautious: "Tie Ruo Nan go retrieve the Gu."
"As you wish," Tie Ruo Nan dutifully went forth but in her heart: "F*** you! You just want to use me as the bait just in case it's a trap!!!"
But under the control of Slavery Gu, she had no choice but to oblige.
Even though she couldn't resist the order she could still approach it slow and wisely.
She used every form of Investigative Killer Move she had but found nothing.
"Hurry up!"
Facing Bai Ning Bing's orders Tie Ruo Nan had no choice but to touch the orb directly!
She braced herself and used her strongest defensive method: "Not much help this will do if it truly is a Rank 8," and grabbed the orb!
Blinding white light filled the room causing Tie Ruo Nan and Bai Ning Bing to close their eyes.
1 second
2 second
3 second
Nothing happened.
The light faded and Tie Ruo Nan looked at the Gu in her hands, or rather, Gus.
!!!
"No wonder the aura was so grand, there were actually 4 Rank 8 Gus in here!" Tie Ruo Nan was beyond shocked.
Let alone one she had never seen so many Rank 8 Gus in her life!
Even Bai Ning Bing was momentarily stunned: "I've seen a lot of Rank 8 Gus under Fang Yuan, but these 4 alone are easily in the top 20%!"
"Master look," Tie Ruo Nan passed her a tiny glowing orb: "It's a true inheritance as well!"
Bai Ning Bing quickly browsed through the memories of the True Inheritance: "Interesting!"
"This inheritance is a method that was originally part of Giant Sun's Yin-Yang path inheritance and was later adapted and improved by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable!"
It consists of these 4 Gu and a Killer Move:
Reborn Gu
Yang Qi Gu
Inseminate Gu
Soul Preserve Gu
"Using these 4 Gu in tandem would produce the Killer Move: Natal Inner Yang Rebirth!"
"It would allow a Gu Immortal to be reborn in a perfect fetus body that holds 1 of the 10 Extreme Physiques of their choice! In addition, as the base ingredients of the Killer Move is the Gu Immortal itself the Gu Immortal gets to keep their race."
"Fascinating I can once again obtain my Northern Dark Ice Soul physique without losing the Dragonmen Race!"
But this part, in particular, caught Bai Ning Bing's attention: "The result will always be male!"
Bai Ning Bing continued to read the Killer Move: "Hmm? I would have to restart my cultivation and regrow?"
The Killer Move certainly had a lot of prospects but it also had its drawbacks, namely, regrowing from Rank 1 and age 0!
"Oh?" Bai Ning Bing stumbled upon an interesting section: "During the labour period the fetus would be nourished by the original body and rapidly grow in cultivation! The higher one's own cultivation the stronger the effects, it is even possible to reach beyond Rank 6 while in the womb if one possesses Cognition Gu."
Cognition Gu! The legendary Gu that aided Ran Zhu!
Bai Ning Bing shook her head: "It's impossible, even Fang Yuan doesn't possess Cognition Gu and if he did, he would most certainly not lend it out."
"Well, this plan certainly seems flawless, in fact, the issue with slow aging can be solved as long as I stay inside an Immortal Aperture with a rapid time flow," she looked to Tie Ruo Nan and smiled.
Tie Ruo Nan had an ill foreboding
"Strip!" Bai Ning Bing commanded!
Tie Ruo Nan tried to resist and almost managed to disobey orders, but unfortunately, Bai Ning Bing exerted her will and Tie Ruo Nan complied, reluctantly.
She had no choice but to do as Bai Ning Bing said:
"Oh, Tie Ruo Nan you should be grateful after this you won't have to risk your life anymore, just hide peacefully until I'm back!"
Tie Ruo Nan tried to reason with Bai Ning Bing: "Uhm Master, how are you going to you know without a uhm." she gestured below.
This had the opposite effect as it only served to make Bai Ning Bing more determined: "Get. Over. Here. Now!"
Tie Ruo Nan wanted to cry but had no tears left to weep: "To think I would be taken…by a woman."
Tie Ruo Nan obediently shuffled over.
"Hmph," Bai Ning Bing snorted.
Immortal Killer Move --------- Natal Inner Yang Rebirth
Bai Ning Bing's body began to disintegrate into flames, the process was unbearable, but Bai Ning Bing was no ordinary person she had been through similar pain before: "I can't lose conciseness if I do the Killer Move will completely fail!"
The pressure was greater than the time when she had to rush against the clock to fight off Shadow Sect!
"Venerables have returned, Fang Yuan is a Venerable, the stage is so grand, how exciting!"
Soon her whole body was converted into Pure Yang Qi! It was then shaped into a phallic object and penetrated into Tie Ruo Nan's womb!
"Ugh," tears fell from Tie Ruo Nan's eyes.
Before Bai Ning Bing engaged in the plan, she left numerous safety instructions to Tie Ruo Nan to ensure her life before Tie Ruo Nan's own.
"Here's the plan, stay here and cultivate as long as possible, if the place is not safe there's an exit portal at the end of the hall it will bring you to somewhere in the 5 Region."
And just like that Bai Ning Bing left Tie Ruo Nan.
Unfortunately, for Tie Ruo Nan the slave seal remained as Bai Ning Bing's soul was still fully intact in the fetus's body.
"My life is over…" Tie Ruo Nan was in deep traumatic shock over the incident: "Father…"
Outside, the chamber:
"Okay good. 2/3 of the opportunities are set in place that only leaves 1 more and the grand plan…I just need to hold them off for another," Red Lotus was cut short.
"Enough stalling!" Star Constellation announced: "Red Lotus give us a clear answer now!"
But Red Lotus began to sing a poem: "3 paces forth I once started, am I regretting helping humanity since primordial times?"
Star Constellation and the other Venerables frowned.
From his response, it seemed that Red Lotus cared deeply about the fate of Humanity, which sided with Heavenly Court's interest, yet he was also the one who betrayed Heavenly Court.
"Very well then Red Lotus so be it," Star Constellation waved her sleeves:
Immortal Killer Move --------- Illuminating The Skies In Shimmering Brilliance
Countless stars depicted the glorious night skies, its galaxies, and stars, releasing majestic glows.
"Star Constellation what are you doing?" Giant Sun began to worry.
"Friends, Red Lotus is clearly trying to buy time for something we can't allow further delay!" Star Constellation kept fueling her Killer Move.
Soon Genesis Lotus joined her as well:
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Suppressed By The World!
Genesis Lotus took out the Painting World once again!
This showed how serious the situation was, Giant Sun and Fang Yuan had 2 choices, either flee now or stand and fight!
Both had huge risks.
If they fled, Red Lotus might only kill the 2 Heavenly Court Venerables, or they may have been in cahoots the whole time.
Worse case, the 2 Venerables retreat with Red Lotus being unharmed.
If they fought, Red Lotus might purposefully target one of them instead of the Heavenly Court members.
There were many options to consider, and Giant Sun wasn't sure which to pick, Luck Path was not helping here as the colossal amount of Luck clashing with each other was not only titanic but was also even!
Until…
"Hehe since you both are so determined allow me to assist!" Fang Yuan snickered:
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Heaven Disposes: Time!
Instantly, golden auspicious clouds filled Fang Yuan's feet as the Dharmic Wheel appeared behind, but instead of various aura appearing there was only 1, Time!
"Dammit!" Giant Sun was now in a precarious position, no one likes a fence sitter.
With the pressure of 3 Venerables he caved:
Immortal Killer Move ----------- I Reside In All Living Beings and Heaven and Earth!
Once again, this trump card was revealed to the world.
"Tch, this moves again." Star Constellation was annoyed as even allies were affected!
"Hmph, do you want the help or not?" although Giant Sun said so, he much rather is left out of this whole debacle:
"At least this move serves good offence and defence," of course Giant Sun had other trump cards that he did not reveal, but since he had used this move before he might as well use it till it was no longer effective.
The first to attack was actually, Red Lotus!
Immortal Killer Move -------- Eternal Night Sword!
Countless pitch-black swords formed around Red Lotus and hurled themselves against the 4 Venerables.
"Hmph," Star Constellation snorted as she sent her Stars to collide with Red Lotus's swords: But before they could collide:
"Star Constellation wait! Those swords counter you!" Fang Yuan shouted.
"Hmm?" Before Star Constellation had time to think, the Swords and Stars made contact, and Star Constellation was horrified.
The Swords would actually devour the Stars to power themselves!
Fang Yuan shook his head: "I told you."
Star Constellation said nothing and focused on finding a countermeasure.
"Friend Giant Sun, Friend Fang Yuan, I am unable to resolve this Killer Move for the time being would you be so kind as to,"
Giant Sun sneered: "Quit the theatrics."
He clapped his hands causing whirlwinds to form, separating the Endless Night Swords from the Stars.
Red Lotus then waved his hand towards Giant Sun:
Immortal Killer Move -------- Karmic Ties!
There's a secret in this chapter ;)
