I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 928 Looting the Ancient Divine Sect
Wei Zhao sighed softly: "You have too much prejudice against me. What I said is absolutely true. This matter concerns the safety of the Linglong Realm, and even the entire Great World. How dare I speak recklessly? Gu Yuanqing, you are also the lord of a realm. I hope you will think twice before you act."

Gu Yuanqing's lips curled into a sneer: "If it's about the safety of this realm, you could have just told me beforehand. Why go through all this trouble to force me to take action?"

Wei Zhao said, "This matter is of great importance. If word gets out, I'm afraid the entire Linglong Realm will be in turmoil. You know that everyone in the Linglong Realm can enter the Ancient Realm. With so many people, who knows if there might be True Demon Apostles hiding among them? After all, there were True Demon lackeys in the past, so we have to be careful. The reason we expelled everyone from the Ancient Realm a few years ago was because we sensed the turmoil in the Demon Realm and that the Ancient Realm was no longer stable. It wasn't directed at you."

Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved. The words of this Grand Venerable of the Ancient Divine Sect were clearly not entirely true. He smiled calmly and said, "Don't you think it's a bit late to say these things now?"

As he spoke, his aura suddenly changed.

A phantom image unfolded behind him!

A true world is revealed, with mountains and rivers, plants and animals, and the sun, moon and stars vividly depicted.

Centered on Gu Yuanqing, the illusory image instantly enveloped an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, encompassing the entire ancient divine mountain and the surrounding void.

Boundary Imminent!

This was Gu Yuanqing's first real display of skill in a battle against someone outside.

Within the range of this illusory image, Gu Yuanqing is the sole ruler.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his aura merging with the power of the entire Northern Spring Realm that was descending from the sky. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth moved at his command.

The sun casts its golden light upon him, bestowing upon him endless power;
The bright moon cast its gentle light, protecting his soul from perish.
The illusory images of mountains and rivers stretched out beneath his feet, as if he could traverse this vast territory with just one step.

Wei Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Having lived for millions of years, he could naturally see that in this land shrouded in phantoms, Gu Yuanqing was like a true immortal god, whose words carried the weight of the law and who controlled everything!
"Are you insane?" Wei Zhao said with a grim expression. "Once this power is used, it will surely invite divine punishment!"

Before the words were even finished, a spatial rift silently opened in the sky.

Within the crack, purple light flickered and lightning surged, and a terrifying pressure was rapidly gathering.

This is the world's rule of punishment for those who surpass the power of demigods; it is an inviolable majesty.

Gu Yuanqing looked up, his expression unchanged.

Within this illusory realm, he is considered the master of this place. Although he is not as powerful as those in the Northern Spring Realm, where nothing can withstand his control over objects, he can still endure this divine punishment for a period of time.

He didn't speak again, but raised his hand and pressed down in the air.

The seal of Beiquan Town crashed down!
This attack was completely different from the previous ones; it seemed to be a full-force suppression carrying the power of the entire Northern Spring Realm!

Wherever the great seal passed, the void stagnated, and the laws submitted, as if heaven and earth themselves were making way for it.

Previously, he didn't dare to let Beiquan Town's World Seal clash head-on with Guicang Hall, since their quality was too different. But with the support of the power of the realm, he no longer had this concern.

Wei Zhao also activated the Gui Cang Hall, which shone brightly. The meaning of life and death rotated, and the light, which was intertwined with gray and dark gold, surged out like a tide and collided with the giant seal.

Boom!!!

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the entire ancient sacred mountain trembled.

The Guizang Hall was forced to sink thirty feet, and the ancient patterns on its body flickered wildly, but it was ultimately blocked and remained completely undamaged.

The sturdiness of the artifacts governed by rules far surpasses that of ordinary objects.

However, Wei Zhao's Dharma form seemed to have dimmed slightly, clearly indicating that maintaining this kind of confrontation was extremely taxing on him.

Wei Zhao snorted coldly and continued to activate the Gui Cang Hall. The gray-white energy transformed into a huge vortex, wrapping around, disintegrating, and eroding the descending giant seal layer by layer. He could sense that within this illusory realm, Gu Yuanqing's power was more than twice as strong as before.

Just then, the first divine punishment lightning bolt crashed down!
The lightning bolt was purple, ten feet thick, like a pillar of heaven, carrying immense pressure, and struck straight at Gu Yuanqing!
Gu Yuanqing looked up, and with a thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed, naturally transforming into a large array to meet the attack.

Boom—!
The vital energy at the top shattered, but immediately more power surged forth.

The Dao of Creation was hidden within, endlessly generating life, and forcefully annihilated the heavenly lightning.

The second, the third, the fourth—a continuous barrage of divine punishment lightning followed one after another, each one stronger than the last, each carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Above the sky, the crack grew larger and larger, as if the entire world was enraged and wanted to completely annihilate this person who dared to overstep the boundaries!

Gu Yuanqing remained calm.

The sun and the moon shone brightly at the same time, and beams of golden light and clear radiance intertwined to form a net that blocked all the falling lightning.

With each bolt of heavenly lightning shattering, the light of the sun and moon dimmed a little, but the power of the Northern Spring Realm was inexhaustible, and it could be instantly reassembled.

Wei Zhao's pupils contracted slightly. At this moment, Gu Yuanqing was truly like a god, with every move he made supported by heaven and earth. The power he possessed was completely unlike what a demigod should have.

If the power of the Gui Cang Hall is not fully unleashed, it is likely that nothing can be done to him today.

But he dared not!

If the Gui Cang Hall were to unleash its full power, it would surely invite even more terrifying divine punishment.

By then, let alone dealing with Gu Yuanqing, it will be questionable whether he himself can escape unscathed.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for several dozen breaths amidst the relentless bombardment of divine punishment lightning.

Neither side could defeat the other, but the protective array of the Ancient Divine Sect below could not hold out.

However, the aftershocks of the battle left many cultivators of the Ancient Divine Sect severely injured, and even the sect leader, Qi Yichen, was pale and his soul was damaged.

The Boundary Command had already been pushed to its limit, but it was still difficult to resist power of this level.

Ultimately, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, to the point that it was difficult to make up for it with external means.

Another shockwave struck, instantly shattering the protective array. Qi Yichen, who was in mid-air, coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backward.

The entire Taigu Mountain Range appeared as if its clothes had been pulled aside and lay horizontally in front of us!
While resisting the heavenly lightning, Gu Yuanqing clashed with Wei Zhao and simultaneously observed the interior of the Ancient Divine Sect.

At this time, the power of the Heavenly Punishment was growing stronger and stronger, and the defenses of the Gui Cang Palace were difficult to break through in a short time, making it extremely difficult to kill it.

However, this great battle could not end in failure, so naturally we had to settle for second best!

The Ancient Divine Sect, a sect that has stood tall throughout history, possesses countless treasures within its walls. How could one enter a treasure mountain and leave empty-handed!

His clone had already quietly emerged, using spatial techniques to enter and exit the Ancient Divine Sect.

Although the protective array of the Ancient Divine Sect has been broken, there are still layers of restrictions inside the mountain gate.

However, these restrictions were as fragile as a spider web in front of Gu Yuanqing's clone, which was shrouded by the Boundary Realm.

With one step, he broke through the layers of restrictions and arrived in front of the scripture pavilion.

The Sutra Repository is thirteen stories high and is entirely made of evergreen jade. Each floor is protected by an independent array.

A plaque hangs high above the pavilion gate, inscribed with the four characters "All laws return to their origin".

Gu Yuanqing's clone looked up, smiled slightly, and gently placed his hand on the door of the pavilion.

The protective array shattered instantly, and the gate opened wide.

The Sutra Repository was a vast and complex space, with rows of jade shelves neatly arranged, each jade slip emitting a faint glow. It contained everything imaginable: cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, secret arts, formations, alchemy, weapon crafting… all meticulously categorized and densely packed.

He didn't look closely; he simply raised his hand and swept all the jade shelves and jade slips into his sleeve, leaving not a single one behind.

Someone rushed forward with a fierce shout, but was sent flying by a casual wave of his hand, their fate unknown.

He then went up...

A moment later, the thirteen-story library was completely empty.

Next stop, the treasure pavilion.

It is protected by a golden-armored puppet at the peak of the Yin-Yang Zhou Tian realm, and also guarded by an elder from the Shattered Heaven realm.

The moment Gu Yuanqing stepped in, they suddenly attacked. Gu Yuanqing only glanced at them before unleashing a sword strike.

The golden-armored puppet shattered, and the Shattering Heaven cultivator died on the spot.

Inside the pavilion, spirit stones were piled up like mountains, and magical treasures shone brightly.

The number of high-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit stones, and spirit artifacts was countless, and there were even many Dao artifacts, all of which demonstrated the wealth of the Ancient Divine Sect.

The third place is the alchemy room.

The fourth place is the Weapon Refining Pavilion.

The fifth location is the Spirit Beast Garden.

……

Gu Yuanqing's clones moved through the Ancient Divine Sect like ghosts.

Wherever he went, he would raise his hand and sweep away all the treasures there.

Wei Zhao also noticed that Gu Yuanqing was making a move in the dark, but he was powerless to stop him. If he were to break free from the defenses of the Gui Cang Hall, unless he unleashed the power of a Heavenly God, he would find it impossible to resist.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly sensed that something seemed to be sealed deep within the earth's veins beneath the ancient god mountain.

He raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Your Ancient God Mountain certainly has quite a few things hidden beneath it."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion, as if to draw the underground spiritual vein up.

Wei Zhao, whose expression had been relatively calm, suddenly changed his demeanor and shouted angrily, "Gu Yuanqing! Don't push your luck!"

He roared and activated the Gui Cang Hall. The gray-white energy transformed into a monstrous wave that forcefully pushed open the illusory image of the Northern Spring Realm, threatening to engulf Gu Yuanqing.

At the same time, the other five remnant souls of true gods also appeared, each directly revealing their true god strength and using the power of the rule artifacts to attack Gu Yuanqing together.

Gu Yuanqing retreated rapidly. He could tell that the Great Venerable opposite him was completely enraged. What he truly cared about was the thing beneath the Primordial Divine Mountain.

The power of the main body immediately came to the rescue, and the power of the boundary also increased by three points.

Within the illusory realm, the sun and moon shone brightly, all the great Daos resonated, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth intertwined to form layers upon layers of light, while the Dao of space was used to create a barrier.

Even so, Gu Yuanqing was still forced to retreat repeatedly.

Wei Zhaoteng made a move to attack Gu Yuanqing's clone, but was stopped by Gu Yuanqing himself.

Meanwhile, another clone continued to draw upon the earth's energy, unaffected by the situation.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhao's expression changed completely. He formed a hand seal and pressed it to his brow. The next moment, a phantom of a divine spark flew out and disappeared into the ground.

In an instant, the entire ancient sacred mountain suddenly trembled violently!
Rocks tumbled down, the earth shook, and countless cracks spread across the mountain like a spider web.

An ancient and terrifying aura emanates from deep within the mountain.

boom!
A section of the mountain collapsed, and a giant hand burst forth from it!

This palm is entirely bronze in color, with five fingers as thick as mountains, and the lines between the palm lines reveal the patterns of mountains and rivers. A terrifying pressure sweeps across all directions!
"God's body!"

Gu Yuanqing recognized it at a glance, after all, he had fought with Zhuo Ming in his prime in the trial space, and Zhuo Ming's aura was obviously far inferior.

He instantly understood why Wei Zhao was angry; the aura of this divine body was clearly of the same origin as Wei Zhao's.

He had actually sealed his body deep within the earth's veins, using the earth's power to nourish his body and conceal his aura.

If Gu Yuanqing extracts the earth's veins, the seal will loosen and the earth will no longer be able to hide!
The giant palm tore through the air, almost ignoring spatial distance. As soon as it made its move, Gu Yuanqing felt the space in front of him shatter.

Its power was even more terrifying than the divine punishment thunder and the power of the Gui Cang Palace!
At the same moment, the divine punishment lightning in the sky also "discovered" this suddenly appearing divine body, and countless bolts of lightning converged wildly, striking down towards the giant hand!
Gu Yuanqing's clone's pupils contracted slightly, and it retreated a thousand miles.

But no matter how it retreated, the palm strike followed it relentlessly, as if distance meant nothing to it.

Gu Yuanqing's true form finally made a move, using the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull his clone back.

But this palm strike followed immediately, landing directly in the Northern Spring Realm.

Gu Yuanqing himself snorted and activated his power of manipulation to imprison the incoming hand.

With a single swing of his sword, the azure light of the sword fell.

when!
The Azure Sword rebounded, leaving only a wisp of white mark on his palm.

Li Miaoxuan also made her move. Her hairpin flew up, the execution platform reappeared, and a phantom of a deity was about to place his palm on the platform.

But the attacking hand remained unmoved. The phantom of the god raised his hand and the guillotine transformed into a long sword, slashing down.

when!
Another loud bang, and the guillotine jumped up again, but a trace of blood appeared on the palm.

The hand was quickly pulled back, but was then restrained by Gu Yuanqing's power of manipulating objects, and could not break free for a moment.

Another slash landed, blood splattered, and a wound appeared.

The hand struggled violently for a moment, then finally withdrew.

Gu Yuanqing himself raised his hand and used it to imprison the falling blood.

Each drop of blood shone with golden light, as if it contained a tiny phantom universe.

On the other side, Wei Zhao roared, "Gu Yuanqing!"

The retracted hand then struck at the clone that Gu Yuanqing was controlling.

The illusory image of the boundary was beginning to disintegrate.

Gu Yuanqing knew he couldn't fight back, and the divine punishment lightning falling from the sky was becoming increasingly powerful and difficult to neutralize. He first summoned back the Beiquan Town World Seal, and then his main body made a move, clashing head-on with the palm. He felt as if the entire Beiquan Realm was shaking, but he managed to block it in the end.

He then immediately used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull the clone back as well.

Wei Zhao was furious and wanted to make a move, but seeing the wounds on the divine body and the increasingly powerful divine lightning that engulfed the Gui Cang Hall and the divine body's hands, he ultimately held back.

With a livid face, he sank his divine body back into the earth's veins. The Gui Cang Palace landed on the mountain range, completely concealing his aura and the body below, relying solely on the Gui Cang Palace itself to withstand the attack of the divine punishment lightning!
