Chapter 587: The vast difference between immortal and mortal
Time passed by rapidly and a month had passed.
Northern ins.
The wind raged and snow fluttered around.
The world was a scene of white as the white snow covered therge grasnd. Bone chilling wind blew
everywhere; asionally, it would form into a tornado and asionally, it would lift the deep snow on
the ground.
Every ten years, the blizzard disaster devastated the whole of northern ins. Living beingsmented
and all things turned destitute. At a few limited ces, the surviving humans and animals were
struggling for their lives.
They not only had to ovee the frigid climate, but also needed to engage in fiercebat against
snow monsters and other battles.
However, in such a cruel environment, snowmen were like fish in water, moving very frequently and
bing extremely lively.
The ice cold blizzard was merely a warm spring wind to snowmen.
They hunted in this blizzard, andrge numbers of wild snow path, ice path and water path Gu worms
started to live one after another on their body.
The snowmen tribes who were hunted by the Gu Masters, beaten down and sold during normal times,
were now experiencing enormous growth. Their forces expanded rapidly.
In the raging blizzard, two dark figures appeared.
The dark figures stood on a cliff, overflowing with immortal aura; they were Hei tribe’s two Gu
Immortals — Hei Bai and Hei Cheng.
They looked down towards the valley under them.
The blizzard was still wild, but it was not even able to sway the two’s clothes. The snow fluttered madly,
but was not able to obstruct the two’s probing gazes.
In the valley, many ice houses were built, packed together with the numbers reaching several tens of
thousands.
A group of heroic snowmen warriors had just returned from their hunt. They had returned with great
harvests once again.
Rank six wood path Gu Immortal Hei Bai frowned: “Hmph, this group of snowmen is taking advantage
of this time period to grow so rapidly! In these three days, this is already the seventh tribe we have
seen of such a scale.”
Those who are not my race have different motives, although snowmen had men in their name, they
were still variant humans.
When the blizzard ends, northern ins’ tribes would actively start developing which was bound to
result in manyrge battles with these snowmen.
To human tribes, such arge number of snowmen meant their enemy was more in number and
stronger.
Hei Cheng patted Hei Bai’s shoulder, smiling: “Virtuous brother should be happy. Looking at it from
another angle, these snowmen are our wealth! We can take these snowmen as captives and not only
exchange them for immortal essence stones with other Gu Immortals, we can also give Xue Song Zi
something to cry about.”
The corners of Hei Bai’s lips raised to an arc: “Elder brother thinks in aprehensive way. If not for
Xue Song Zi, the wooden chicken Gu would have already been in my hands. And he even meddled in
thest Imperial Court contest. These days, we have been hunting snowmen everywhere and selling
them in treasure yellow heaven. Hehehe, I really want to see how Xue Song Zi’s expression is like
now.”
But the moment he finished saying this, his smile disappeared and his gaze revealed a trace of anxiety:
“Elder brother, Hei Lou Lan has already been in Imperial Court for so long, and ording to the time,
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building should have already formed over twenty floors. Why is there still no
trace of wooden chicken Gu?”
Hei Chengughed: “Do not fret, do not fret. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building has altogether eighty-
eight floors, this is not much. Hei Lou Lan, this kid might have a irascible temper, but he is meticulous
when ites to the big picture. He hasn’t broken off the contact with us since he entered Imperial
Court, isn’t that right? Moreover, he now already has one-edge owner token, as long as wooden
chicken Gu is involved in the creation of a new floor, Hei Lou Lan can sense it, and we will receive the
news.”
Hei tribe was a super force, although they did not have ability in exploiting the ws that could match
the level of Fairy Mo Yao, they had their own ways to use Gu worms to transfer messages inside and
out.
Hei Bai sighed: “Imperial Court blessednd and northern ins’ outside world have differing time flow.
A day here in the outside world is equal to over twenty days in Imperial Court blessednd. I am
somewhat worried Hei Lou Lan’s notice will bete, and if so, the help we can provide will be small.”
Hei Chengforted with a smile: “Virtuous brother, the more you worry, the more frantic you will get.
Rx, ording to Hei Lou Lan’s strength, getting through three or four floors would not be a problem.
Before this, we’d better take care of this group of snowmen.”
“Okay.” Hei Bai’s worry was slightly relieved, as he nodded.
The two shot down like lightning, directly charging into the snowman tribe within the valley.
Hei Cheng chuckled.
Instantly, an unrestrainedughter shook the world, stopping even the moving clouds! The whole valley
buzzed from the tremor and the majestic snowfall also slowed.
Crash crash crash….
The soundwave swept through the valley, crushing countless ice buildings into fine powder.
The snowman tribe instantly suffered serious losses!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“A strong enemy has appeared. Warriors, it is time to protect our homnd!!”
“Protect our homnd. Remember, we cannot fall down, behind us are our wives, children and
parents!”
Snowmen were in an uproar, and after a short moment of panic, they prepared to resist.
“Hmph, overestimating your strength.” Hei Bai looked at the snowmen flocking together while floating in
midair, his gaze apathetic like he was looking at a group of ants.
He lightly waves his sleeve – buzzz buzzz buzzz…..
A ck mass of Gu groups flew out. First the number was in hundreds, then thousands, then it reached
tens of thousands.
Finally, the several hundreds of thousands of Gu hovered over the valley like dark clouds pressing
down on a city.
The snowmen looked at the sky, their expression filled with terror and lifelessness. The fighting spirit
and heroic feelings they raised up just a moment ago, frozepletely in front of a Gu Immortal’s
might.
At this moment, they were truly able to feel the bone-piercing chill of the blizzard.
Gu Immortals possessed immortal essence, a bead of immortal essence could be regarded as
unlimited primeval essence. This meant every single Gu Immortal could controlrge numbers of
mortal Gu, and would never becking in primeval essence.
The snowman tribes might be flourishing, but in front of a Gu Immortal’s battle strength, they were like
lambs waiting for ughter and could only let themselves be trampled upon.
Next moment, Hei Bai lightly pointed and the Gu groups pounced down loudly.
Mournful sounds started resounding and echoing endlessly in the valley.
A dozen or so dayster…
Imperial Court blessednd.
Hei Lou Lan slowly put down the letter Gu in his hand, sneering.
The letter Gu came from Hei tribe’ Gu Immortal, its content was the same as before, still urging Hei Lou
Lan to speed up the search for wooden chicken Gu.
There was originally no way to send messages from or to Imperial Court blessednd, but after so
many years had gone by, even if it was an arrangement by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, it could not
stand the erosion of the river of time, and a few ws appeared.
Although they did not have capability in exploiting this on Fairy Mo Yao’s level, the super forces like Hei
tribe and Liu tribe had polished the methods to send the message.
“Once a Gu Master advances to an immortal, their physique would thoroughly raise to a higher level
and would possess immortal essence. Mortals simply cannot be an immortal’s opponent, to deal with
Gu Immortal requires a Gu Immortal!”
“Strength path Immortal Gu…”
Hei Lou Lan softly muttered then slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards the window.
He looked up at the gorgeous aurora moving at the summit of the sacred pce. Eighty-Eight True
Yang Building’s newest floor had condensed at this moment.
“Thirty-eighth floor.” Hei Lou Lan sighed. Having seen this scene so many times, he no longer had the
excitement like before when he saw it for the first time. But his esteem towards Old Ancestor Giant
Sun, had now reached the level of prostrating himself in admiration before the old ancestor’s heavenly
methods every time he saw the scene of True Yang Building condensing a floor.
“Only with Eighty-Eight True Yang Building and Old Ancestor Giant Sun’s power, I can take my
revenge!” Hei Lou Lan took out his owner token.
So much time had passed by but his owner token was still one-edge owner token.
Hei Lou Lan knew of history and also knew his own strength.
The current forces,pared to the past winners of the Imperial Court contest, were not bad but also
could not be considered too good. Taking everything into ount, it was only enough to cross three-
four floors.
Hei Lou Lan wanted to acquire his strength path Immortal Gu, but also had the tribe responsibility of
getting wooden chicken Immortal Gu. This meant the quota for two clearances was already filled.
Hence, these days, he restrained himself from taking action, making recuperation his priority, and at the
same time, he still opened up Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, letting Gu Masters increase their
strength as much as possible.
Naturally, he did this to make the Gu Masters, outside of Hei tribe, thankful and admire him. And
naturally, many among Hei tribe were dissatisfied and puzzled by it, but mindful of ck Tyrant’s fierce
reputation, none dared to speak up.
“Messenger.” Hei Lou Lan softly called.
His trusted aide Hei Shu immediately appeared before him and quietly kneeled down, speaking with a
lowered head: “Lord tribe leader, please instruct.”
“How is the recent situation?” Hei Lou Lan rubbed the owner token, his gaze still at Eighty-Eight True
Yang Building.
“The situation looks to be steady recently, but undercurrents are starting to surge. Chang tribe’s Gu
Masters have repeatedly been killed, many Gu Masters have mysteriously disappeared when going
out. Chang tribe leader Chang Ji You has personally moved out, searching everywhere to capture the
killers, but no gains have been made. Instead, the attacks on Chang tribe’s Gu Masters have be
even more serious.” Hei Shu reported.
“Eh, who has such guts?”
Hei Shu revealed an ashamed expression: “Subordinate is still investigating.”
Hei Lou Lan slightly nodded, his tone revealing some slight joy in another’s cmity: “No need to hurry,
hehe, we shouldn’t hurry in this matter. Chang Shan Yin’s actions are too sinister and cruel, losing
favour with people, and now he is tasting the bitter consequences. A few months ago, he wiped out the
earth chief beast group and assigned Chang tribe’s Gu Masters to capture many Gu Masters, and he
actually killed all of them! Hmph, this had already aroused public anger, but fearing Wolf King’s
reputation, no one dared to take actions though they had the heart for revenge.”
Hei Lou Lan remembered this clearly.
Because, among these unlucky Gu Masters Fang Yuan captured to do experiments on, were some
people who had some rtions to Hei Lou Lan.
Wolf King actually did not give him face and killed these people; Hei Lou Lan had secretly been bearing
this grudge all this time.
“Tribe leader is wise, subordinate and others also think this is the case.” Hei Shu ttered and said in
agreement, “Chang tribe leader might be Chang Ji You, but he is Wolf King’s son and was appointed as
the tribe leader with one sentence from Wolf King. He is too young and cannot appease the tribesmen.
The whole of Chang tribe’s affairs actually lie with Chang Ji You’s adopted father Chang Biao.”
“But not long ago, the death of the two lords Chang Biao and Pan Ping while roaming seventh floor’s
nieth round, had spread. There was an indistinctmotion within Chang tribe and Chang Ji You
has been finding it hard to maintain Chang tribe’s situation. The avenger saw this great opportunity,
and maybe because they had received a great increase in strength from Eighty-Eight True Yang
Building’s rewards, they have been killing Chang tribe’s Gu Masters everywhere.”
“Hmm.” Hei Lou Lan nodded, Hei Shu’s analysis was simr to his own thoughts.
“Quickly investigate this person. Taking revenge wholeheartedly in spite of Wolf King’s fierceness, this
is bravery. Killing Chang tribe’s Gu Masters and not being found even after so many days, this is
scheming. This person is brave and can scheme, they should be taken into my Hei tribe. And also, only
my Hei tribe can protect their life.” Hei Lou Lan instructed.
“Yes, lord.”

“Are there any movements from Chang Shan Yin?”
“Ever since Chang Biao’s corpse was found and delivered to Chang tribe, maybe Wolf King found
some clues from the corpse, he entered Eighty-Eight True Yang Building that very day and has yet to
come out now. Subordinate had sent people to inquire, Wolf King should have gone to seventh floor’s
nieth maze round. Ever since he entered, people have often reported hearing the howls of wolf
groups.” Hei Shu reported.
Hei Lou Lan frowned.
Chang Biao, Pan Ping and Water Demon Hao Ji Liu’s deaths were something he had not wanted to
see.
But since they were already dead, Hei Lou Lan could only ept this fact.
He couldplete forecast once Wolf King exited the tower and knew of Chang tribe’s misfortunes, he
would fly up in rage, searching for the killer. At that time, the whole sacred pce might be turned
upside down.
Hei Lou Lan was looking forward to Wolf King attracting every more public anger, but he worried Wolf
King would even implicate the innocents and start massacring everywhere which would greatly weaken
the forces to mobilize in passing the rounds.
Hei Lou Lan must prevent this from happening. But how to prevent it?
Hei Lou Lan fell into silence as he started thinking.
Hei Shu was calmly kneeling down, patiently waiting for Hei Lou Lan’s nextmand.
Hei Lou Lan did not think for long before an amazed expression appeared on his face.
His gaze instantly turned sharp as he once again looked at Eighty-Eight True Yang Building on the
summit of the sacred pce.
There, the thirty-ninth floor was slowly condensing into shape.
Although it had yet to form, Hei Lou Lan was able to know the Gu worms in this floor through his one-
edge owner token.
‘Wooden chicken Gu! Wooden chicken Gu has finally appeared!’
Hei Lou Lan’s mind was shaken, but soon he calmed down and his gaze quickly moved towards Hei
Shu.
“Go, summon Ma Ying Jie to see me. Immediately!”
