An Immortal Gu gradually appeared from Du Zhixiao's corpse, emerging from his chest.
This Immortal Gu seemed to be made of crystal. It was shaped like a flea, as large as a fist, curled into a ball, soundless and utterly still.
"It was because of this Immortal Gu that Du Zhixiao, a mere mortal, was able to affect the calamity." As Li Xiaobai cleaned up the battlefield, he naturally discovered this Immortal Gu.
Activating an Immortal Gu usually required immortal essence. Yet there were certain exceptions that were not bound by this restriction.
"It seems that even mortals can activate this wondrous Immortal Gu," Su Qihan said.
"This Immortal Gu is exceedingly rare. Let me investigate it." Minister Su revealed a hint of surprise upon seeing it, then immediately activated Trust Dao Means.
Hua Wen Grotto-Heaven was a Trust Dao grotto-heaven that had always focused on gathering and accumulating information. Though Hua Wen Grotto-Heaven lived in seclusion, it had never dared to shut its doors and lock itself away from the world, maintaining close contact with the outside world all along.
Moreover, Minister Su was an important court official with considerable authority, able to investigate many of the court's hidden secrets and major reports.

"Heavenly Envy Immortal Gu?" This was Su Qihan's first time hearing of it.
Minister Su explained in detail, "Heavenly Envy Immortal Gu is a Heavenly Dao Gu worm. Similar ones include Heavenly Wrath Immortal Gu, Heavenly Sorrow Immortal Gu, and so on. Even Rank 9 Gu Venerables cannot activate this type of Heavenly Dao Immortal Gu."
"Father, your information must be wrong. We clearly just saw Du Zhixiao activate this Immortal Gu and make things difficult for Brother Li," Su Qihan
