I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 828 You are all the same person!
"Zen Master, I'm afraid we can't stop it!" Xiao Wuyou said solemnly.

Despite unleashing his supernatural powers, the opponent remained unharmed. The Supreme Forgetfulness Sword Dao can sever cause and effect, so even if the opponent retreats, the supernatural powers should still be able to follow the energy and cause and effect. However, it is clear that all attacks are like mud oxen sinking into the sea when facing this external enemy, without any response. All of them are just a waste of primordial spirit.

For a Void Immortal, if it were just a clash of ordinary spells, it would be difficult to determine the winner even after months of fierce fighting. However, once such a life-or-death divine power that touches the origin of the Great Dao is used, every time it is used, it is burning away one's own cultivation.

"Amitabha." Zen Master Huijue chanted the Buddha's name, his face filled with even more compassion. "Indeed, fate is hard to defy. We have done our best. Benefactor Xiao, you should leave now. If you remain alive, there will be a chance to resolve the great calamity in the future."

Xiao Wuyou nodded slightly without hesitation. At their level, weighing the pros and cons was a matter of moments.

“Zen Master, you should also step back. Your Wugou Zen Forest has the responsibility to suppress evil spirits, and you cannot afford to fail.”

Zen Master Huijue put his hands together in prayer: "This old monk will do his best again."

"Take care, Venerable Zen Master!" Xiao Wuyou gave Huijue a deep look, then glanced at Gu Yuanqing who was crossing the sky. Without saying another word, he vanished into the distance.

"Trying to leave?" Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. His karmic entanglement with Xiao Wuyou was much deeper, so how could he allow him to escape so easily?
The current spatial order is operating, directly chasing after Xiao Wuyou.

"Benefactor Gu, please wait!" Zen Master Huijue shouted, pressing his thin hand down in the direction Gu Yuanqing had fled.

Instantly, the space in that area trembled violently, like a lake surface tossed with a boulder, its rules becoming disordered, forcibly pulling Gu Yuanqing out of his spatial traversal state!

Gu Yuanqing's figure solidified, and he gave Huijue a cold glance.

However, he did not engage with Huijue. His figure suddenly became illusory and vanished like a bubble. Meanwhile, another solid figure appeared in the distance and continued to chase after Xiao Wuyou in the direction he had fled!

This is a subtle application of the principles of space, where the interplay of reality and illusion makes it difficult to grasp its true trajectory.

Huijue frowned slightly and took a step forward.

This step may seem slow, but it feels as if the ground has shrunk to an inch, traversing thousands of miles. It is one of the six supernatural powers in Buddhism – the power of divine feet, also known as the power of wish fulfillment!
Xiao Wuyou's speed was undeniably fast, but compared to Gu Yuanqing, who was extremely skilled in the Dao of Space and had the power of the Northern Spring Cave Heaven, he was still a fraction slower. After chasing for about 30,000 miles, Gu Yuanqing had already closed in.

"town!"

Without further ado, Gu Yuanqing tossed his hand, and the Northern Spring Town Seal reappeared, its majestic power now covering all directions and sealing off the heavens and earth.

Xiao Wuyou was forced to stop his escape, his face grim. He knew that without breaking the blockade, he would have no way to escape.

He had no choice but to activate the dimly lit Book of Oblivion above his head once more, and slash at the descending phantom of the divine mountain with his sword. However, his aura dropped again, and his face turned slightly pale.

At the very moment his divine power collided with the seal, Gu Yuanqing once again used the Heavenly Fishing Technique. The seal and his clone were pulled up as if by an invisible fishing line, instantly returning to his cave heaven. At the same time, he used the power of controlling objects in his cave heaven to obliterate the sword that was chasing him, which was enough to kill an ordinary Void Immortal.

When Gu Yuanqing's clone returned to the Demon Land, Xiao Wuyou's aura had completely disappeared.

Gu Yuanqing showed no surprise. His purpose in pursuing Xiao Wuyou was to force him to make another move and further deplete his source energy. It was extremely difficult to kill a Void Immortal who was determined to escape, but even if he couldn't kill him, he had to make him pay the price!
He then went to the Venerable Huijue.

Zen Master Huijue remained in the same spot, his hands clasped together, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Gu Yuanqing didn't reply. He walked closer, and Beiquan Zhen Shiyin flew out, its divine light flowing. In an instant, it transformed into a majestic mountain, carrying a tremendous power to suppress everything, and fell down on Huijue Zen Master!

When facing top experts at the Void Immortal level, especially Buddhist cultivators like Huijue with profound foundations, ordinary supernatural powers and techniques are indeed limited in effect. Only the Beiquan Town World Seal, which contains 108 Great Dao Law imprints, can bear the power of Beiquan Cave Heaven to the greatest extent, using force to overcome skill, which is the most direct and effective method!
The void solidified beneath the seal, and the earth below, unable to withstand the invisible pressure, collapsed with a deafening roar.

Faced with this suppression that could change the very fabric of the land, Zen Master Huijue lowered his brows and eyes, and once again softly chanted:
"Amitabha!"

He neither dodged nor used any Buddhist supernatural powers to resist, and even withdrew his protective Buddhist light. He simply stood there calmly, with a hint of composure, as if waiting to be killed.

The Beiquan Town World Seal, which descended with immense force and the momentum to crush everything, suddenly stopped in mid-air just three zhang above the head of Zen Master Huijue.

Gu Yuanqing's expression was cold: "You bet I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Zen Master Huijue felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the seal above his head, but showed no fear on his face. Instead, he said with compassion, "Benefactor Gu, since you are willing to eliminate demons, your heart is set on the righteous path. I suppose you are not someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people."

Gu Yuanqing sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm: "Killing you is indiscriminate killing? You blocked my way and attacked me. Even if I kill you, it's karma, retribution is inevitable! How can you say you're innocent?"

"Amitabha." Zen Master Huijue chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and then said, "This old monk is not determined to be your enemy, but... I have no choice. The person behind you is very powerful, but he is ultimately a person from another world. He cannot sense the secrets of heaven and does not know the key to this place. If you go to the Demon Abyss and trigger a great calamity, this world may truly be doomed."

The old monk knew he was no match for the benefactor. He had already done everything in his power to obstruct him, and now, exhausted, he had no means to resist the benefactor's divine might. All he could do now was to try his best to persuade him.

Gu Yuanqing stared at Zen Master Huijue for a long time. The floating Beiquan Town World Seal still emitted a heart-palpitating fluctuation, but the killing intent had quietly subsided a bit.

"What if I insist on going?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

Zen Master Huijue said, "I hope you will think twice before you act, lest you cause an irreparable situation due to a momentary lapse in judgment."

Gu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "You may leave. I have my own principles for doing things."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the Beiquan Town World Seal that was hanging above Huijue's head suddenly shrank, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into his sleeve.

Zen Master Huijue felt a lightness throughout his body, put his hands together, and bowed deeply: "Amitabha, well done, well done. This old monk takes his leave. I hope you will be careful, benefactor."

Having said that, he didn't linger. His figure transformed into a golden light and vanished into the void like a bubble, his aura completely gone.

In the void, only Gu Yuanqing remained alone.

He gazed in the direction where Zen Master Huijue had disappeared, his brows slowly furrowing.

He was not a person of this world. If what the old monk said was true, and his actions would indeed trigger a great calamity, then this overwhelming karma would probably fall squarely on his head.

Although he had formed a good relationship with the Nine Realms Divine Continent and was willing to offer some help, he was unwilling to bear the inexplicable karmic consequences!

……

His gaze shifted, suddenly landing twenty thousand miles away. With a few flashes, he arrived before a mountain peak and said calmly, "Come out. I know you're here."

As the mist dissipated, Liao Changyin emerged, his expression still one of shock. Though separated by distance, he had clearly witnessed the entire battle. Although it seemed that Gu Yuanqing had someone else behind him, that person only intervened at the very end. Before that, Gu Yuanqing had single-handedly fought two Void Immortals, completely overturning his understanding of the Chaotic Undying Realm.

Moreover, the fact that the person who made the final move forced two of the world's top Void Immortals to retreat simply by attacking from a distance demonstrates their incredible strength, which is astonishing. No wonder they dared to say they would go to the Demon Abyss to fight the Demon Lord.

"Brother Gu," Liao Changyin said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "You have witnessed everything that happened today. If what the Zen Master of Wugou Zen Forest said is true, that my journey to the Demon Abyss might bring about a great calamity, then I can leave, but the people of this world will have to face the consequences. And I cannot bear such karma. I believe you understand the meaning of my words!"

Liao Changyin took a deep breath and said, "Understood. I will report today's events to the Nine Domains Divine Continent. The Great Hao Dynasty will likely send someone to the Wugou Zen Forest to find out the truth."

Although Wugou Chanlin is located outside the Nine Domains Divine Continent, it still holds a high position among humans. Liao Changyin was just angry for a moment, but after so much time has passed, he has regained his composure.

The words of a Zen master are worth pondering.

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Then that's fine!"

Liao Changyin asked, "So, what are your plans next, Brother Gu?"

"Let's just wander around. If we can't go to the Demon Abyss, we'll just kill a few more great demons to refine pills," Gu Yuanqing said casually.

Liao Changyin's eyes twitched slightly. In all these years, he had only seen one person who dared to say he was just wandering around the Demon Abyss: Gu Yuanqing. However, the other party also had the strength to do so.

Although he followed Gu Yuanqing for a long time, he could still roughly figure out what Gu Yuanqing had been doing. It was Gu Yuanqing who was searching for the Heavenly Demon, while the Heavenly Demon was hiding everywhere. As a result, he had hardly encountered any danger, which was much easier than when he came in before.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly glanced into the distance again and said indifferently, "You should leave quickly. Your appearance just now has already caught the eye of the Heavenly Demon. I will hold him off for a moment, but as for the rest, you can pray for good luck."

Liao Changyin's heart sank: "Brother Dao, have you discovered something?"

"Boundless!" Gu Yuanqing left these words before disappearing.

Liao Changyin's expression changed slightly. He glanced in the direction Gu Yuanqing had gone, and then quickly walked away.

……

Meanwhile, the Demon King of the Infernal Realm also witnessed this battle. Even though he had seen Gu Yuanqing make his move many times before, and had seen the person behind him clash with the Demon Lord, he was still somewhat shocked to see it this time.

“These outside cultivators are indeed a great threat. No wonder the master attaches such importance to them. This old monk is really meddling!” The Demon King of Boundless had a gloomy expression, but in the blink of an eye, his expression changed, and his entire body suddenly dissipated, his original demonic thoughts fleeing far away.

A force descended, obliterating its remaining demonic energy.

"They escaped pretty quickly!" Gu Yuanqing was not surprised. He scanned the surroundings with his Void Eye and then used the Dao of Space to give chase.

Twenty thousand miles away, another demonic consciousness was possessed by the Demon King of the Abyss, but in the blink of an eye, sword energy descended.

The Demon King dared not linger with Gu Yuanqing. His demonic aura exploded, leveling hundreds of miles around and obscuring the direction he was trying to escape.

After searching for a while without finding it, Gu Yuanqing suddenly threw out an array plate inscribed with countless mysterious runes.

With both hands forming hand seals, he channeled the energy into the array plate, and countless runes flowed out, intertwining and connecting in the void to form a grand array.

He took out a wisp of the aura of the Demon King of the Abyss that he had once captured and put it into it. After a moment, a phantom image was formed with this wisp of aura as the center, pointing to one side.

Holding the array plate, Gu Yuanqing once again manipulated the Dao of Space.

A moment later, the illusory figure suddenly changed direction and pointed towards the Demon Abyss again.

Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

He naturally understood that this situation occurred because the Demon King's clone sensed that it was being tracked, so it concealed its aura, and thus the tracking array was directed at its main body.

But it was useless; that brief moment was enough to capture some information.

His figure flashed repeatedly, and suddenly he extended a finger, the power breaking into the void.

Another fleeing demon at the Shattered Heaven level was instantly annihilated. The Chaotic Primordial Flame burned and refined its demonic body and soul, transforming them into Gu Yuanqing's power. However, the Boundless Demon King once again disappeared without a trace.

However, as its demonic thoughts shifted, its original aura reappeared, and the tracking array guided it back to its original location.

During this chase, Gu Yuanqing kept closing in. When the Demon King of No Return possessed a Heavenly Demon of the Celestial level, Gu Yuanqing caught up with it again. It tried to use the same trick again, but a large seal suddenly appeared above its head.

Space instantly froze, like an impenetrable wall, trapping it inside.

Knowing there was no escape, it glared at Gu Yuanqing with venomous intent, its primordial demonic power suddenly igniting, determined to self-immolate rather than fall into Gu Yuanqing's hands.

But at this moment, Gu Yuanqing's true form reached out and grabbed at the void, bringing Beiquan Zhenshi Seal back to Beiquan Cave Heaven.

"If I let even a single demonic thought of yours escape, wouldn't all my efforts have been in vain?" Gu Yuanqing chuckled.

The burning primordial demonic intent was instantly controlled by the Dao of Manipulation, and the flames were extinguished in an instant.

This clone also saw Gu Yuanqing clearly, and was greatly shocked.

"It was you...you were all the same person!"

Gu Yuanqing could sense the information emanating from their thoughts, and was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "So you mistakenly thought there were two of you?"

He had fought the Demon Lord and the Demon King of the Abyss several times. Although the strength of his main body and his clone were vastly different, their auras were of the same origin, so they should have been able to recognize each other long ago. However, upon further reflection, it was no wonder that they had such a misconception. After all, the path of cultivation in that world was completely different from that of the Spirit Realm, and humans did not have clones.

He casually suppressed and sealed this demonic thought. Although this original demonic thought was not strong, it was still at the level of a Void Immortal. If he refined it, it would at least be able to withstand most of the Chaos Immortals!
