    Central Continent.


    White egrets flew in the sky, the weather was pleasant today.


    Three rank seven Gu Immortals who came from Combat Immortal Sect had gathered within this sky.


    “ording to Immortal Monkey King’s request for help, it should be this ce.” Qian Zhu Xian looked


    around as he said.


    He was dressed in a green robe, he had a slim figure and his eyes were dark like an abyss, as if


    incapable of being rmed.


    “Although this ce looks ordinary, it is evident that the grotto-heaven opening that was stated in the


    letter has closed up. But to check if it is really this ce, we will need Divine Mother’s help.” Valley Lord


    Ming He, who was dressed in a white robe, looked over.


    Beside him was a female Gu Immortal.


    Beautiful and elegant, she was dressed in a golden robe and radiated majesty and dignity. She was a


    space path Gu Immortal, known as Divine Mother Jue Kong. Among these three, she was the oldest


    Gu Immortal, being over nine hundred years old.


    Divine Mother Jue Kong closed her eyes, using her mysterious method, her aura remained calm and


    there was not even any trace of fluctuation.


    In a short while, she opened her eyes, letting out a breath of foggy air: “It is here indeed, Starry Sky


    grotto-heaven is located at this ce.”


    The other two immortals heard this and their spirits lifted.


    “Seven Star Child did not have much reputation back then, he actually cultivated to this extent without


    making a sound. In fact, his grotto-heaven even absorbed a fragment of blue heaven. Precisely


    because of this, Starry Sky grotto-heaven could still exist now. It is incredible.” Qian Zhu Xian sighed.


    During the Immemorial Antiquity Era, the world of Gu Masters had nine heavens in the sky.


    Red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, purple, white, ck, they formed the immemorial nine


    heavens.


    But seven of the nine heavens were destroyed by Ren Zu’s children, right now, only ck and white


    heaven were left alternating in the sky.


    Seven Star Child had a fortuitous encounter in the past, he secretly absorbed a fragment of blue


    heaven, this allowed his grotto-heaven to exist to this day, and not be a dead aperture due to his


    state.


    The immemorial nine heavens were nine different worlds.


    The immortal apertures of Gu Immortals were also worlds, worlds could swallow one another, the most


    famous example was treasure yellow heaven.


    Back then, treasure yellow heaven’s owner — rank eight Gu Immortal, Daoist Countless Treasures,


    unexpectedly obtained a fragment world of yellow heaven. Thus, after he fused it into his grotto-


    heaven, it formed treasure yellow heaven.


    After treasure yellow heaven was formed, it became extraordinary, and continued existing even until


    today.


    “Once a grotto-heaven absorbs a nine heavens fragment, the benefits are really great. Not only will


    they gain some unpredictable mystical power, the immortal aperture’s heavenly power would be


    unlimited. Furthermore, cmities and tribtions would weaken greatly, orpletely vanish. If I can


    obtain such a fragment world, I might even wake upughing in my sleep.” Valley Lord Ming He was full


    of envy.


    “Dream on, Ming He. Get your cultivation level to rank eight first. Only a grotto-heaven of a rank eight


    Gu Immortal can absorb a nine heavens fragment world.” Qian Zhu Xianughed.


    Valley Lord Ming He heard this andughed bitterly: “I want to get to rank eight too, but I have no


    confidence in surviving the second grand tribtion. Thinking about how rank eight Gu Immortals have


    to undergo a grand tribtion every fifty years, I shudder at that thought. As for the myriad tribtion


    that is even more terrifying than grand tribtions, I simply cannot imagine them! Maybe, only


    someone like Shi Lei has no fear…”


    Blessednds had fortune, but heaven and earth was bnced, thus, once in a while, cmities and


    tribtions would befall.


    Rank six Gu Immortals experience an earthly cmity every ten years, and a heavenly tribtion every


    one hundred years. Thus, when assessing a Gu Immortal’s cultivation level, they often used the


    heavenly tribtion as the standard. Fang Yuan was a two heavenly tribtions expert in his previous


    life.


    After a rank six Gu Immortal goes through three heavenly tribtions, their blessednd would expand


    to another level, and they would be a rank seven Gu Immortal.


    Rank seven Gu Immortals face an earthly cmity every ten years, a heavenly tribtion every fifty


    years, and a grand tribtion every one hundred years. Qian Zhu Xian and Valley Lord Ming He were


    one grand tribtion Gu Immortals, while Divine Mother Jue Kong was a level higher than them, being


    at two grand tribtions cultivation level.


    As for rank eight Gu Immortals, they no longer experienced any earthly cmities, but they faced a


    heavenly tribtion every ten years, a grand tribtion every fifty years, and a myriad tribtion every


    one hundred years.


    Myriad tribtions were far more scary than heavenly tribtions, they were known as ‘hopeless


    myriad tribtions’ among Gu Immortals, the difficulty was extremely high.


    Thus, nine heavens fragments were much more precious.


    Because the immemorial nine heavens were a part of therge world of Gu Masters. Cmities and


    tribtions would only descend upon blessednds and grotto-heavens as they were immortal


    aperture worlds, this did not happen in the five regions or the immemorial nine heavens.


    After the grotto-heaven devours the nine heavens fragment, in a way, they be a part of therge


    world of Gu Masters. This could greatly reduce the size and power of the cmities and tribtions,


    and the grotto-heaven would not die if the Gu Immortal dies. For example, Starry Sky grotto-heaven


    was still intact despite Seven Star Child already bing an immortal zombie.

    If the nine heavens fragment that was absorbed was big, cmities and tribtions could vanish for


    good. For example, treasure yellow heaven had never experienced any cmities or tribtions, it was


    now the biggest trading area in the Gu Immortal world.


    “The benefits of absorbing a nine heavens fragment are huge. But don’t forget, this method has a


    weakness too. Even if you absorb just a bit of the nine heavens fragment, you will take in the aura of


    the greater world. Once the grotto-heaven is rooted into it, it can never be ced into your body again.”


    Divine Mother Jue Kong reminded them.


    Qian Zhu Xian nodded, agreeing: “Simply put, by absorbing the nine heavens fragment, the Gu


    Immortal loses their freedom. They can only stay inside their immortal aperture world and cannot move


    about in the outside world. This is truly a huge loss. But if a nine heavens fragment appears before me,


    I would choose it without hesitation!”


    “That’s right.” Valley Lord Ming He agreed: “Cmities and tribtions are too hard to survive,


    sometimes, I would want to be an immortal zombie, at least their deadnds would not


    experience any cmities or tribtions.”


    “Alright, handling the task is the most important matter. We purposely wasted so many days, I’m sure


    that Monkey King has learned his lesson.” Divine Mother Jue Kong slowly closed her eyes.


    Valley Lord Ming He fell into silence.


    Qian Zhu Xianughed: “Heh, after we save Shi Lei, I want to see if he can still act arrogant again?”


    Divine Mother Jue Kong could no longer keep a calm aura, her golden robe fluttered as the aura of


    Immortal Gu burst out from her.


    “Open.” Suddenly, she opened her eyes, her gaze was sharp as it pierced a hole into the void before


    her.


    The hole was about the size of a man, through this hole, the three Gu Immortals could directly see the


    scenery inside Starry Sky grotto-heaven.


    The three immortals did not speak, Qian Zhu Xian charged ahead and entered it. Next, Valley Lord


    Ming He entered, followed by Divine Mother Jue Kong.


    But at the next moment, the three Gu Immortals appeared in the sky again.


    “What is going on?” Qian Zhu Xian and Valley Lord Ming He showed some shock on their faces.


    Divine Mother Jue Kong’s expression was solemn, her rxed appearance was gone as she muttered:


    “In is not in, out is not out, space is interchanging, swapping around… this is the mystical ability Starry


    Sky grotto-heaven obtained after absorbing the blue heaven fragment?”


    “Yes. Shi Lei mentioned this in his request for help as well.” Valley Lord Ming He recalled.


    “It is not strange, why would it be simple if it could trap this monkey?” Qian Zhu Xian said.


    Divine Mother Jue Kong snorted coldly: “This is only a minor problem.”


    At the same time, in Northern ins, Zombie Alliance branch, inside Dark Flow Giant City.


    This ce had densely umted darkness, even the clear skies could not shine any sunlight into


    here.


    Fang Yuan pushed open the door and was inspected by more than twenty gazes.


    He purposely showed a scared and hesitant expression as he stepped into the discussion hall.


    He paid his respects, shouting: “I am Sha Huang, greetings to my fellow brethren.”


    “Fellow brethren… you used a good phrase. We members of Zombie Alliance are in the same situation,


    we should help each other.” On the main seat of the discussion hall, there was an immortal zombie


    smiling as he said.


    He was a fatty, he was over six meters tall, just like Fang Yuan’s eight arm immortal zombie form, but


    he was at least three times fatter than Fang Yuan. His skin was like bronze, his stomach was like a


    wine vat, big and round. Not just his stomach, his face, arms, fingers, they were all extremely round.


    Fang Yuan saw him and thought of the information he had: “Flesh bronze zombie body, Yin Liu


    Gong…”


    Before Fang Yuan came to the Zombie Alliance, he had gotten the relevant information from Fairy Li


    Shan.


    Immortal zombie Gu Ye beside him thought that Fang Yuan was a newbie, he quickly paid respects:


    “Gu Yu pays respects to Lord Yin Liu Gong, Lord Dragon Commander Ye Cha, and Lord Huang Quan


    Weng.”


    Fang Yuan followed after him: “I greet Lord Yin Liu Gong, Lord Dragon Commander Ye Cha, and Lord


    Huang Quan Weng.”


    Saying so, he gave Gu Ye a look of gratitude.


    Gu Ye smiled at him.


    Yin Liu Gong was seated at the center seat, on his left was Dragon Commander Ye Cha, he was sitting


    up straight with a ruthless expression, his fangs were pale and sharp, on the right was Huang Quan


    Weng, he looked old and had a hunched back.


    Even though they had overflowing death energy, their rank seven aura could not be concealed.


    These three immortal zombies had true rank seven cultivation level, they were stationed in Dark Flow


    Giant City.


    “Sha Huang… is this your real name?” Dragon Commander Ye Cha asked, his words were like steel,


    once he spoke, a strong wave of killing intent burst out, making one feel as if they were in the middle of


    a terrifying battlefield.


    This was due to his experiences.


    Dragon Commander Ye Cha was a lone cultivator, he had joined the Imperial Court contest and had


    used some of the opportunities inside Imperial Court blessednd to umte his foundation and


    be a Gu Immortal.


    In other words, he had very rich battle experience, nobody dared to look down on him.


    He opened his mouth, and his tone showed his imposing nature, it made people feel like he was


    pressuring them heavily.


    “Of course not.” Fang Yuanughed bitterly: “Sha Huang was the name I gave myself on the second


    day after I became an immortal zombie. It signified a new beginning, for me to temporarily forget my


    past glory. I had once sworn to heaven, only when I regain my real body and get rid of my immortal


    zombie status would I use my former name again.”


    Once he said that, all of the immortals in the discussion showed varying expressions.


    There was disdain, sneers, silence, sadness, but mostly, understanding.


    Fang Yuan’s current performance and his mental state was just like theirs in the past. But after so


    many years, their grand ambitions were gone, their hopes and desires were almostpletely burnt


    out. They were still immortal zombies now, life had not changed for the better.


    “Alright, since Sha Huang opened the door, then he is a Northern ins Gu Immortal. We in Zombie


    Alliance would be stronger with one more member. He has already proven himself. One has to know,


    previously, even Yao Huang did not manage to push open this door. Guh, guh guh guh…” Huang Quan


    Weng said as he started coughing, showing his old and weak state.
