Fang Yuan
Rank OneGu Yue Clan
The protagonist, a time traveler from Earth reborn 500 years into the past using the Spring Autumn Cicada. A former Rank Six demonic Gu Master with 500 years of experience, he is cold, calculating, and ruthless. In these chapters, he obtains the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, escapes the blood pond graveyard, battles Bai Ning Bing, and uses the Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth again, altering fate. He raises his aptitude to A grade (90%) by using the Blood Skull Gu on slain clansmen, but his cultivation drops to Rank one initial stage due to the Stone Aperture Gu. He allies with Bai Ning Bing to flee Qing Mao Mountain.
