I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 638 Artifact Trap?

However, he was hesitant about this matter. After all, it was Ye Xuanxiao who had seen those eyes in his mind.

Gu Yuanqing instinctively felt that there was something terrifying going on.

Then does the Taixu Creation Wheel Clock also have such an existence?
Gu Yuanqing looked up at the phantom of the Taixu Creation Wheel. This forbidden area was completely different from the Linglong Realm. Just by looking at it, he could sense the vast power contained therein.

As a divine artifact that carries the rules of the entire world's existence, its power is beyond imagination.

"No wonder the power of the forbidden land is so strong. Even with the help of the Beiquan Cave Heaven, it is difficult to gain the upper hand in a cross-border attack on the Divine Forbidden Mountains. What Ning Xuxuan said is indeed true. The Mu Tianheng who fought with me was definitely not at his peak. Perhaps it was because he suppressed the Boundary Abyss, or perhaps his true self was comprehending the great way of the Heavenly Law Bell and preparing to break through the fifth level of the artifact's control."

After looking for a long time, even though the treasure mountain was right in front of him, Gu Yuanqing still couldn't concentrate on it.

This is not Beiquan Cave Heaven. Without the blessing of Guanshan Yuwu, he may not be able to see the traps. Even if he observes with his clone, there may still be risks.

After all, there is a connection between the clone and the original body, so some means must be guarded against.

He has the blessing of Beiquan Cave Heaven and does not want to take risks if he is not sure.

However, the rule artifact is the top power in the Linglong Realm, and it just happens to coincide with the path of his practice. To abandon it, it also requires tremendous perseverance.

But then he thought back to Qin Wuya, who practiced the Heavenly Demon Sword, but his body was taken over by someone he had no power to resist.

The road ahead was dangerous and with two such precedents, Gu Yuanqing had no choice but to be careful and cautious.

Otherwise, if you have a bright future but encounter a disaster of body possession, you will have no choice but to regret it.

Qin Wuya might still be able to be rescued by me, but if I were in trouble, who could save me?
The Taixu Creation Wheel displayed its vast power wantonly, like the most tempting food constantly attracting Gu Yuanqing.

It seemed to be telling him that as long as he obtained its power, he would stand at the top of the sky and dominate the world.

But his heart reminded him that perhaps there was an unknown crisis hidden behind the power.

Gu Yuanqing took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "Don't worry, don't worry. Don't let the temptation in front of you mess up your mind."

"Now that I have control over this forbidden area, I can draw on the power of the Grand Void Creation Wheel at any time. There is no need to rush."

“Moreover, the Dao of this world is not as perfect as the Dao of the cultivation world. Even if I use the power of the rule artifact to condense the Dao mark, it will not replace my existing Dao mark with its Dao. If I take this path, it may become an obstacle in the future.”

"When practicing Taoism, one cultivates one's true self. Taoism is the foundation, and tools are the application. Even tools of rules are only tools. Replacing Taoism with tools is tantamount to abandoning Taoism and seeking techniques, which is the same as losing the foundation."

……

Gu Yuanqing kept talking to himself, analyzing the pros and cons, and seemed to be using these words to strengthen his heart.

As he continued to talk to himself, his eyes gradually became firm and clear, and then there was a sense of relief.

At this time, a space crack appeared, completely sweeping the clone out of the forbidden area.

In the Beiquan Cave.

Two figures of Gu Yuanqing stood facing each other.

"Have you managed to draw the power of the Rule Artifact into your body?"

"No! However, when I sent the Ten Thousand Daos Returning Flow Talisman into the altar, the power of the altar and the artifact were connected, and I had a glimpse of the entire appearance of the artifact. You can use the power of Beiquan Dongtian to see if I have been tricked by it."

"excuse me."

"You and I are one, so how can there be any offense?" the clone said with a smile.

After a moment, Gu Yuanqing's original body let out a long sigh of relief. The clone opposite him smiled slightly, took a step forward, turned into a drop of blood and merged into Gu Yuanqing's body. The twelve Dao seals also returned to their original state.

Then he continued to carefully use the mountain-viewing and object-controlling techniques to observe himself carefully.

An hour later, I finally felt relieved.

When he reviewed the memories brought back by his clone again, Gu Yuanqing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

What even the clone himself did not notice was that at a certain moment his heart was indeed moved, and he was just about to draw the power of the divine weapon into his body.

This is completely inconsistent with the instructions passed to the clone after Ye Xuanxiao was captured.

Although there is not much difference between the clone and the original body after reaching the Hun Tian realm, and the clone has absolute autonomy, once the original body is confirmed, the original body's intention will still be an absolute prerequisite.

In other words, before it is completely confirmed to be safe, the power of the artifact will never be rashly drawn into the body, but a deviation occurred in the process.

When one reaches Gu Yuanqing's level, all his actions are based on his true heart. Although the heart is affected by events, it should be impossible for such a scene to occur.

Looking back at the attraction that the Rule Artifact had on him, its strength was completely beyond common sense, as if there was a voice in his heart constantly urging him to go further.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

Gu Yuanqing's expression became somewhat serious.

Then he stepped to the back mountain.

Ye Xuanxiao was still kneeling there, but he had become even weaker.

With the help of his body, Gu Yuanqing constantly tried to erase his immortal mark. Every time it was erased, his body became weaker.

"What are those eyes?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

There was mockery in Ye Xuanxiao's red eyes, but he was unwilling to speak.

Gu Yuanqing added: "You know I can kill you. But there are many ways for a person to die. I can make you suffer and live a life worse than death, or I can send you away without any pain."

Ye Xuanxiao's pupils shrank slightly. He knew that Gu Yuanqing was telling the truth, but then he laughed crazily, "Tortured? It's nothing but pain. I have endured such things for a hundred years. What is there that I can't endure? You want to get more from me? I tell you, it's impossible! Gu Yuanqing, don't look at you being arrogant now. One day, you will be like me."

Gu Yuanqing said indifferently: "If that's the case, then I'll help you!"

Black and white fire suddenly ignited around Ye Xuanxiao, burning his body and soul. He screamed miserably, but sometimes laughed crazily: "Gu Yuanqing, you think you can do whatever you want just because you control the Taichu Tianlu and get the power of the artifact. My Taikoo Divine Sect will not let you go. Even if you hide in the forbidden area in the end, you are just lingering. The power of the artifact is not something you can control. Doesn't the Hidden Star Alliance also have countless masters who occupy the forbidden area, but who survived in the end? The past of Lingyuan Realm is the future of your Qianyuan Realm, hahahaha..."

Gu Yuanqing snorted coldly and turned away.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Gu Yuanqing took out a jade token, looked at it for a long time, and finally crushed it.

Half a day later, Ning Xuxuan's figure appeared in a place in the Qianyuan Realm. At first it was just a phantom, and then his vital energy gathered and condensed into a physical body.

This is a wisp of divine soul that has crossed the boundary, and used the method of changing reality from illusion to condense the false into the true.

Gu Yuanqing came out of the mountain to greet him.

Ning Xuxuan bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to you for opening the Daoyuan Forbidden Land. It will be just around the corner for you to control the Taixu Creation Wheel!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Ning is really well-informed. This happened in just one hour."

Ning Xuxuan smiled dumbly and said, "It's not that I am well-informed, but the forbidden land is opened, the avenue resonates, the power of the forbidden land shines in all directions, and everyone in the God's Ruins will feel it."

"So that's how it is. Please come in, fellow Taoist!" Gu Yuanqing turned sideways and raised his hand to invite him.

The two entered the Beiquan Cave and sat down in a pavilion in the mountains.

Aunt Feng served tea and snacks, poured more for the two of them, then bowed and left.

Ning Xuxuan nodded, and after he left, he smiled and said, "After so many years, this is the first time that fellow Daoist has invited me. Have you thought it over carefully? Are you ready to join our Hidden Light Alliance?"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled: "Joining the alliance or not is nothing more than a title. If your alliance takes action against the Taikoo Divine Sect, I, Gu Yuanqing, will not stand by and watch."

"Oh? What important matter does fellow Daoist have this time?" Ning Xuxuan asked.

Gu Yuanqing sat up straight and said solemnly: "I invited you here this time because I have something to ask you."

"Please speak! As long as it does not involve the secrets of our Yin Yao League, I will tell you everything I know." Ning Xuxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing considered his words carefully and said slowly: "On my way to Daoyuan Forbidden Land, I was intercepted and killed by Ye Xuanxiao of Taikoo Divine Sect."

"Ye Xuanxiao? Wasn't he the Son of God of the Ancient Divine Sect killed by fellow Daoist a hundred years ago? Even if his clone is still alive, he is only at the Yin-Yang Longevity Realm. How could he have the ability to kill fellow Daoist?" Ning Xuxuan was a little surprised.

Gu Yuanqing said: "He has entered the Zhenyuan Mingzhi, and his control over this rule artifact has reached the fourth level."

Ning Xuxuan immediately sat up straight, his expression became serious, "The fourth level? That is equivalent to the state of Chaos Immortality, without the Chaos Tribulation. Its situation should be somewhat similar to Jiantian. No wonder I felt a little strange when I saw a cultivator from the Ancient Divine Sect in the Jieyuan battlefield a few days ago. It turned out to be him. At that time, I thought he was just an ordinary Chaos Immortality cultivator. I didn't expect it to be like this. The Ancient Divine Sect actually has such means. Thank you for telling me. A cultivator equivalent to the level of Chaos Immortality is enough to affect the overall situation. If our Hidden Light Alliance didn't know, I'm afraid we would suffer a great loss in the future."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Ning, you are too polite. The Taikoo Divine Sect should not have thought of hiding his information, otherwise they would not have taken action against me. This time I invited you to come here because it is related to him."

"Oh? Is it related to him? Could it be the matter of Zhenyuan Mingchi?" Ning Xuxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "Ye Xuanxiao fought with me, but he was too careless and was captured by me. I used a secret method to see into his mind, but I unexpectedly saw the Zhenyuan Mingzhi."

"Fellow Daoist, you actually captured him? What a great move." Ning Xuxuan praised, but he was not too surprised. After all, the man in front of him was the one who had caused Mu Tianheng to suffer. Although it seemed that he had just survived the Great Disaster, his control over the Taichu Tianlu should have reached the fourth level. He paused for a moment and continued, "For cultivators like me in the Linglong Realm, the power of the Dao Seal itself comes from the Rule Artifact. It is not surprising to see the Rule Artifact itself under the guidance of the Great Dao. Fellow Daoist should not want to meet me just for this matter, right?"

Gu Yuanqing said: "It is indeed not the case. It is normal to see the Rule Artifact, but I also saw a pair of eyes on the Zhenyuan Mingzhi Monument. It seems to be alive!"

"A pair of eyes? Like a living thing?" Ning Xuxuan's body shook slightly.

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Yes, the Hidden Yao Alliance has existed for a long time, and you are also a great cultivator of the Undying Heaven, so you should be quite familiar with the rules and artifacts. That's why I invited you to come and ask a question."

Ning Xuxuan was silent for a long time, and he sighed as if he was in a trance: "I have indeed seen some relevant records in the ancient books of the alliance, and I didn't expect it to be true."

Gu Yuanqing asked: "Could you please explain it in detail?"

Ning Xuxuan drank the tea in one gulp, which showed his inner unrest.

Gu Yuanqing picked up the teapot and refilled it.

Ning Xuxuan seemed to have sorted out his feelings and said, "Actually, this matter is not that strange."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

Ning Xuxuan said: "Daoyou also know that the great Dao of Linglong Realm comes from the power of the rule artifact. By drawing the power of the artifact into the body, comprehending its Dao and thus condensing the Dao mark, it is equivalent to entrusting the Dao fruit that one has comprehended to the rule artifact. As long as the power of the artifact is endless, Hun Tian will be immortal. But Hun Tian is immortal, not immortal, and his life span will eventually end. But it is said that if the power of the artifact is controlled to the sixth level, the great Dao will return to its true nature, and one can live forever and be free and at ease."

Gu Yuanqing asked: "Has there ever been such an existence in Linglong Realm, or in the Taikoo Divine Sect and the Hidden Light Alliance?"

Ning Xuxuan said: "The Hidden Light Alliance does not exist now, and we don't know about the Ancient Divine Sect, but there are some records in ancient books."

Gu Yuanqing asked again: "What does this have to do with the eyes on the Zhenyuan Mingzhi Stele that I mentioned?"

Ning Xuxuan asked, "Do you still remember the Taikoo Divine Sect's Heaven Supervisor Elder Guo Yongquan whom I mentioned before?"

Gu Yuanqing said: "Of course I remember, he is the only one in the Ancient Divine Sect who has mastered the Rule Artifact to the fifth level."

Ning Xuxuan said: "Yes, the fifth level of mastery of the rule artifact is equivalent to the virtual immortal, but I only said that he is equivalent to the Hun Tian realm, not the Hun Tian Immortal Realm. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"The power of the divine weapon is so vast that if the divine form is manifested, one can be immortal. However, the moon is full and then it wanes, too much is as bad as too little. The heavens are transforming the world, and both the human body and the world of gods and immortals can hardly bear it. It's not that he doesn't want to take action, but that he can't take action. Once he really takes action, his body will disintegrate and return to dust." Ning Xuxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing looked surprised.

Ning Xuxuan sighed and said, "Mu Tianheng and I had already comprehended the power of the Rule Artifact to the fourth level ten thousand years ago, but in the past ten thousand years, neither of us has made any further progress. This is the reason. If we take another step, we will probably be like Jiantian, only daring to make a weak clone to walk around in the world, and the main body can only sit in the forbidden area. Mu Tianheng himself has not come out, perhaps he is looking for a way to make further progress."

Gu Yuanqing hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, my friend. What I'm going to talk about next is what you just asked." Ning Xuxuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "This is the case when one has reached the fifth level of control over the power of the Rule Artifact. What about the sixth level? If the physical body and the world of heaven and man collapse, where do you think his soul will go?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuanqing instantly understood what Ning Xuxuan meant.
