I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 627: Timeless practice

It's no wonder they think so. Gu Yuanqing has taken action before. Back then, Shifang Yanyu Tower was also a powerful force, but it was destroyed overnight.

Even if Gu Yuanqing himself, as a great cultivator, would not take action personally, there might still be forces following him that would cause trouble.

The most nervous among them was the Yanshen Sect, as the incident back then was apparently caused by the Yanshen Sect.

Even though not many people know the truth about what happened back then, there are still a few fools among the practitioners, so they will be able to see something after all.

Moreover, Li Wujiu's clone was set up by someone, which was one of the reasons that eventually led to Ye Xuanxiao's death. No matter how this matter was explained, it was difficult to clear the suspicion, and some suspicions arose between the Yanshen Sect and the Taikoo Shen Sect.

At this time, Gu Yuanqing achieved the status of Hun Tian, ​​and the most likely one to be liquidated would be the Yanshen Sect.

Even though the Qianyuan Realm's teleportation array is now isolated, there are still many ancient artifacts in the Linglong Realm that can cross space. Even a ninth-level cultivator can do it, not to mention a great cultivator like Huntian.

Of course, as a large sect in the Linglong Realm, the Yanshen Sect controls the entire realm alone and has all five realm orders in hand, so perhaps it will not fall to the same level as the Shifang Yanyu Tower.

But it is not a pleasant feeling to be stared at by a great cultivator.

The Five Directions Formation is only the last resort for a realm. Even if it can help one defeat a Huntian cultivator, the gap between it and a real Huntian cultivator is needless to say.

The elders of Yanshen Sect immediately set off to visit Taikoo Shen Sect, on the one hand, to find out the truth about Gu Yuanqing, and on the other hand, to communicate and plan with Taikoo Shen Sect.

At the same time, as the sixth-ranked sect in Linglong Realm, there are also masters who were led to the Divine Ruins by the Taikoo Divine Sect.

Perhaps sensing the changes in people's hearts in Linglong Realm and fearing that it would affect the overall situation, a piece of news spread through various channels.

That is, the Taikoo Divine Sect has eleven great cultivators!
At the same time, the top eight sects in Linglong Realm all have Huntian cultivators, and after the cultivators in the sect reach the Yin-Yang realm, they go to the Shenxu area to suppress the demons under the realm abyss.

Afterwards, major sects such as the Yanshen Sect and the Minghai Palace came forward to confirm the matter.

He also said: "Linglong Realm is free from disasters and the world is peaceful. This is the credit of the predecessors of the sects headed by the Taikoo Divine Sect, who sacrificed their lives to suppress the boundary abyss. If not, my Linglong Realm is rich in cultivation resources, and how could there be only these great cultivators known to the world? You think that the great cultivators in the Yin-Yang realm are rare because their lifespans are about to end? In fact, every time there is a catastrophe, they use their bodies as boundaries. Even if their Tao disappears, they must stop the great demons under the boundary abyss!
The reason why it was never told to the world in the past was to avoid causing panic and disturbing everyone's mood.

As a cultivator from Linglong Realm, Gu Yuanqing should follow the example of his predecessors and take it as his responsibility to protect the safety of the people of the world. Instead, he keeps himself safe and hides in Qianyuan Realm, being greedy for life and afraid of death. This is simply presumptuous of a great cultivator."

As soon as these words came out, the world was shocked again. Some people guided public opinion, and for a time, Gu Yuanqing was condemned everywhere.

Of course, some people have doubts in their hearts, but faced with the angry words of the crowd, few dare to speak out.

Moreover, the panic originally caused by Gu Yuanqing becoming a Huntian cultivator immediately dissipated in this atmosphere.

Because no matter how powerful Gu Yuanqing is, he is just a Huntian cultivator who has just survived a heavenly tribulation, and there are eleven such cultivators in the Taikoo Divine Sect.

The top sects in the cultivation world also have Huntian monks.

In this case, what does Gu Yuanqing have to fear?
However, all this was just words. Facing the cultivators from the Qianyuan Realm who were still entering the ancient world, no one dared to really provoke them.

In Guixu Island.

Although Lingxu Sect was once a subordinate sect of Lingxu Sect, after so many years, it is no longer the same as before.

The sect leader is still Gong Daoxian, but the former Daotai cultivator has now reached the peak of Xutian realm.

The Lingxu Sect originally had some estrangement with the Daqian Dynasty, but after Kuang Tongyi became a court worshiper and was commanded by the Daqian Dynasty, this estrangement gradually dissipated.

Coupled with the relationship between Li Miaoxuan and Gong Daoxian, Lingxu Sect and Xuantian Sect can be said to be among the sects closest to the Daqian Dynasty.

This time, one of the boundary orders was handed over to Kuang Tongyi for control.

And after the matter was over, Kuang Tongyi personally returned Li Chengyi's hand without transgressing the slightest. At first, he could be called a fellow Taoist of Gu Yuanqing, but now times have passed and the situation has changed, and they are no longer the same. He could have his current level of cultivation thanks to Gu Yuanqing's kindness in preaching the Tao throughout the world.

After returning from the formation platform, everything inside Lingxu Gate returned to normal.

On this day, all the elders above the Xutian level of the sect gathered in the main hall. While waiting for the arrival of the sect master, they began to discuss the recent events in the Linglong Realm.

"This Taikoo Divine Sect is really shameless. It was like a lost dog when it fled. It dared to come to our Qianyuan Realm, but did not dare to admit it. Instead, it spread rumors and caused trouble in the Linglong Realms."

"What you said about guarding the realm and protecting the safety of Linglong Realm with your own body, I think it's all bullshit."

"I think it's obvious that they saw that Master Gu's strength was growing too fast, and they were afraid that it would affect the status of their Taikoo Divine Sect. They looked righteous, but in fact, they were all despicable villains."

"Junior Brother Zhou is right. The Taikoo Divine Sect had intended to forcibly take Master Gu Shan to the Taikoo Realm. These high-sounding words are nothing more than a cover-up."

Qin Baijun was also present, but he sat at the very end. He kept a calm expression and did not dare to reveal any emotion in his heart, because he knew the status of Gu Yuanqing in the hearts of all the cultivators in Qianyuan Realm.

Unexpectedly, an elder suddenly said, "Elder Qin, judging from your smile, do you disagree with what I just said?"

Qin Baijun said, "How could that be? The actions of the Ancient Divine Sect are outrageous to both humans and gods. How could Qin not agree with them?"

At this moment, Gong Daoxian stepped in and said, "It would be best if Elder Qin could think this way. Maybe you had some grudges with Gu Shanzhu in the past, but hundreds of years have passed. I still hope you can let go of your grudges."

"Greetings, Sect Master!" All the elders stood up.

Gong Daoxian came to the front and said calmly: "Elders, please take a seat!"

Her gaze finally lingered on Qin Baijun's empty arms for a moment.

In fact, the reason why people in the sect have some opinions about Qin Baijun is because he has never repaired his arm, which also shows that he has not let go of what happened in the past.

The Qin family has a strong foundation in Lingxu Sect, and Qin Baijun has never made any mistakes, so he became an elder of the sect after his cultivation broke through Xutian. However, as the sect leader, Gong Daoxian still gave him a few words of advice from time to time to prevent him from bringing disaster to Lingxu Sect!

Half a day later, Qin Baijun left the top of the mountain alone and returned to his cave.

After the formation covered the cave, his fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white.

At this time, his grandfather came into the cave and said solemnly: "Bai Jun, let's talk about what happened that day. No matter what you think in your heart, I hope that your relationship with the Taikoo Divine Sect will be severed from now on! Other Linglong Realms don't know what happened that day, but we saw it with our own eyes! Even the leader of the Taikoo Divine Sect is no match for Master Gu Shan. If our Qin family intervenes, it will be purely seeking our own death!"

Qin Baijun suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, we did see what happened that day. It is still unclear whether that person is the leader of the Taikoo Divine Sect. Even if he is, maybe he is just a clone. Besides, the Taikoo Divine Sect has eleven great cultivators of the Chaos Heaven, and they also have the Rule Artifact. Gu Yuanqing led my Qianyuan Realm to fight against them, just to take everyone in my Qianyuan Realm to die together. I am just looking for a way out for the Qin family. Moreover, a few days ago, I heard from the Taikoo Divine Sect's true disciple that the reason why Gu Yuanqing was not killed that day was actually because of the concern for the Five-Party Formation, and that day it happened that the Jieyuan riot had to retreat. Otherwise, even if Gu Yuanqing survived the Chaos Heaven Disaster, he would be at the end of his strength, and it was just luck that he was able to keep his life!"

Snapped!
The old man slapped Qin Baijun on the face, pointed at his nose and said, "You...really want to take our Qin family to death? Isn't it just a woman? It's been hundreds of years, why did it come to this! Your father and I spent everything to make you achieve Xutian, are you worthy of your father's spirit in heaven?"

Qin Baijun took a deep breath, his expression became calm, he stroked his beaten face, and said lightly: "Grandfather, I have long forgotten Li Miaoxuan's grandson, but the hatred of the broken arm and the hatred of being mocked and laughed at for hundreds of years cannot be eliminated. If it weren't for him, Gu Yuanqing, how could I, Qin Baijun, live like this? And if it weren't for this hatred that lasted forever in my heart, I would never have been able to break through the Xutian. It has turned into an obsession in my heart, just like this... fire!"

As he spoke, Qin Baijun opened his palms, and the Dao fire jumped in his palms.

Just seeing the flame, the old man trembled all over, because the flame was pitch black and swallowed the light.

"You... are possessed by a demon?" The old man's speech became intermittent.

"This is not a demon, it's just unwillingness!" Qin Baijun's tone remained calm.

……

Gu Yuanqing sat on the top of the mountain in Beiquan Cave Heaven for another seven years.

During these seven years, he seemed to be thinking but not thinking, his mind was empty and in harmony with the Tao, and without realizing it, he had completely settled his cultivation.

When he opened his eyes, he quickly calculated in his mind how much time had passed. As his cultivation level improved, such things were no longer surprising, but he felt deeply moved.

Before and after the tribulation, the time he spent in enlightenment was nearly forty years in total, which is half a lifetime for an ordinary person, but for him, it was like a nap.

While comprehending the Dao, it seemed that he was not even aware of the passage of time!
And these few decades are even more insignificant in Gu Yuanqing's long life. He can now vaguely feel the current limit of his lifespan. If he has no disasters or illnesses, he can live for at least 20,000 years!

And if one’s cultivation level breaks through, perhaps this limit will be further increased.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled. To him now, time might be about to lose its meaning.

"However, if we calculate the time, the Yuanhui is not too far away. There are only a dozen years left. Time is really passing too fast!"

Gu Yuanqing almost forgot how old he was.

In the past few years, everything seemed to be very peaceful, and the Taikoo Divine Sect had not attacked again, but Gu Yuanqing knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

As long as the matter of Jieyuan is dealt with, the Taikoo Divine Sect will be able to make a complete move. I am afraid that they will not retreat just because they suffered a big loss last time.

The real battle is yet to come!
"Should I take advantage of this opportunity and do something?"

Gu Yuanqing stood up and looked up into the distance.

There was a trace of his soul imprint left in the Divine Ruins before he became Hun Tian, ​​so he could sense its spatial location from a distance.

However, Gu Yuanqing has not yet decided whether to use this brand.

At the same time, if you really need to use it, you must be extremely careful!

Decades have passed. Has this hidden mark really not been discovered, or did Mu Tianheng leave it on purpose to lure himself into a trap?
Just like when Xu Haoque left traces in Beiquan Cave Heaven, Gu Yuanqing did not touch them even after seeing them.

"That mountain should be the forbidden mountain range that Fellow Daoist Ning Xuxuan mentioned. It is also the real lair of Mu Tianheng... Hmm, Ning Xuxuan? No wonder I suddenly woke up from enlightenment today. It turned out that I sensed his arrival!"

Gu Yuanqing suddenly smiled silently, and saw Ning Xuanxu's figure suddenly appear in the Qianyuan Realm. Connecting it with his previous feelings, he immediately knew the cause and effect.

When you achieve the Hun Tian realm and become one with the great Dao of heaven and earth, you can calculate the secrets of heaven even if you don't go there. As long as it's related to you, you will be able to sense it.

Just like today, Gu Yuanqing was clearly in the process of enlightenment, but suddenly he woke up with a sense of something in his heart. Then he saw Ning Xuxuan coming across the boundary. Moreover, even before he broke through the void, Gu Yuanqing had already locked on his destination.

As soon as Ning Xuxuan's clone fell into the Qianyuan Realm, he seemed to sense Gu Yuanqing's gaze. He raised his head and bowed from a distance in the direction of Gu Yuanqing.

The next moment, he felt the space change and he had arrived at a pavilion in the mountains.

"Brother Gu's methods are becoming more and more mysterious! Congratulations, fellow Taoist." Ning Xuxuan said in admiration.

"No, how can it compare to Brother Ning Dao's magical power that broke through the boundary silently from the land of divine ruins." Gu Yuanqing said.

Ning Xuxuan shook his head and smiled, "It's just the use of the rules artifact. How can it compare to Brother Gu, who beat Mu Tianheng who came across the boundary, but returned in disgrace. In the past thousands of years, you are the first person who can do this."

The two of them flattered each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then took their seats.

Feng Tao brought dried fruits and snacks, poured tea for the two of them, then bowed and left, not saying a word from beginning to end.

"Brother Ning, you are here this time because of the Yuanhui disaster, right?" Gu Yuanqing got to the point.

Ning Xuxuan nodded: "It's only a little over ten years, isn't Fellow Daoist Gu worried?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled: "What's the use of worrying?"

Ning Xuxuan sat up straight, clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, cultivators like us don't beat around the bush. I'll just say some words directly. If I'm offended, I hope you'll forgive me."

Gu Yuanqing said: "It's okay to talk."

Ning Xuxuan said in a deep voice: "Well, I will speak frankly. Brother Gu's victory over Mu Tianheng this time was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, including Ning. However, Mu Tianheng at this moment is completely different from Mu Tianheng after the Yuanhui. The Linglong Realm Array completely suppressed the Realm Abyss. His Taoism, cultivation, and the power of the Rule Artifact were completely withdrawn from the Eight Desolate Demon Suppression Array. It's a completely different matter!"

Gu Yuanqing looked calm.

Ning Xuxuan added: “Even if Brother Gu is not afraid of Mu Tianheng alone, the eleven Huntian cultivators and seven rule artifacts of the Taikoo Divine Sect are almost all above the Eight Desolate Demon Suppression Formation. Once the Yuanhui is over, they will all be released. The Taikoo Divine Sect at that time will be completely different from the Taikoo Divine Sect now!”

Gu Yuanqing picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ning Xuxuan, and said calmly: "I am naturally clear about what Brother Ning said, so what should we do according to Brother Ning's opinion?

Or does Brother Dao already have a plan and wants Gu to cooperate?

By the way, before that, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if Brother Ning has paid attention to the Lingyuan Realm recently?"
