I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 929 The Path to Immortality Re-emerges

In the northern part of the city.

Gu Yuanqing returned the clone to his original self.

Although this battle was not a complete success, it still yielded significant results!
Li Miaoxuan's expression turned slightly solemn: "That is the body of a celestial being, it is truly extremely powerful, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine cannot even cut off a single hand!"

“This should be Wei Zhao’s true strength.” Gu Yuanqing also frowned slightly.

Li Miaoxuan could still hurt him, but his own Qingming Sword couldn't even scratch his skin.

This means that even if he were to suppress him with the power of the world after he entered the Northern Spring Realm, he would still be completely powerless against him.

This is because the difference in cultivation level is too great, and one's own attack methods are insufficient.

Li Miaoxuan said, "I didn't expect his divine body to still be intact! In that case, we can no longer regard him as a remnant soul."

“Yes, the gap in cultivation level is not so easy to bridge,” Gu Yuanqing said softly. “I can use the power of the Northern Spring Realm to contend with him, and even suppress him here, but to truly hurt or kill him, I need a means to break through his divine body. Moreover, he knows there is something strange in my mountain, so he will definitely not come in easily.”

Li Miaoxuan nodded: "My strike was able to injure him because the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine has become a celestial artifact. But this body has only just awakened, and I'm afraid it's not at its peak yet. Moreover, it was imprisoned and suppressed by you, otherwise..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was clear.

She only cut the physical body, but if the physical body is combined with supernatural powers, not only is it not certain that she can cut it, but even if she does, she probably won't be able to hurt it.

Gu Yuanqing looked at the few drops of golden blood that were trapped in his hand.

Every drop of blood was pulsating, with tiny, illusory worlds flowing within it, as if each drop of blood was an independent universe, its very existence transcending the laws of nature.

Gu Yuanqing could feel the powerful force contained within this blood!

Upon touching it with one's divine sense, one feels a blazing flame about to follow the divine sense straight into the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is divine fire!

Even after the blood leaves the body, it still possesses extraordinary power.

Of course, this is not surprising, since reaching the realm of the Undying Chaos means that one's physical body is almost indestructible and can be reborn from a drop of blood, let alone being a being at the level of a celestial god.

Gu Yuanqing examined it for a moment, but could not see the true foundation of this divine body through the divine fire, so he temporarily suppressed and sealed its divine blood.

He then said, "The physical body is still there, but the soul has separated from it. What do you think could be the reason?"

“Perhaps it’s to avoid something. Or perhaps the union of body and spirit makes it easy to attract divine punishment; or perhaps there are injuries on the body that need to be healed by the warmth of the ancient world’s veins,” Li Miaoxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing said, "There is another possibility: Wei Zhao's soul may have some problems. We also suspected that he was a god back then, but his strength seemed to be weaker."

Li Miaoxuan nodded slightly and said, "What Wei Zhao said before may not have been entirely false, otherwise it would be difficult for us to believe it. It is mostly nine parts truth and one part falsehood. He concealed the fact that the souls of the people of the Ancient Realm are of the same origin, but what caused the people of the Ancient Realm to become like this may indeed be the soul of the True Demon. What he said about the Primordial God Sect suppressing the Ancient Realm and the Divine Ruins Abyss may also be true; he also has the surname Wei, could it be that he himself is a part of the soul of the billions of cultivators in the Great Wei Divine Dynasty?"

Gu Yuanqing said, "Even if it isn't, the two must be deeply connected. His ability to summon the ancient realm's phantom indicates that he has a certain degree of control over the origin of the ancient realm; otherwise, it would be difficult to do so. As for the True Demon Soul, it is indeed very possible. The time when they attacked me was just shortly after the changes in the Demon Realm."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Even Zhuo Ming seems to know little about these things. Many years have passed since then, and I'm afraid that apart from Wei Zhao himself, no one else would know the real secrets behind them."

Gu Yuanqing said, "Zhou Wei and Feng Yue seem to know something, but they are not afraid of death and it is impossible for them to say it."

Li Miaoxuan said, "We can only take it one step at a time. This time he has attracted the Heavenly Tribulation again, so at least we can have some peace and quiet for a while. However, we must not be wary of the True Demon. Judging from the power of the True Demon you suppressed, his strength is indeed unfathomable, far surpassing that of the Heavenly Gods. If his spirit and body unite, he may very well unleash a catastrophic calamity."

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's true. Actually, there's another point of doubt about this matter. Both Demon God Mountain and the Primordial God Sect seem to be forces used by the Dharma Source Realm to suppress the True Demons. It's normal for Demon God Mountain to want to use me to contact the Dharma Source Realm when it sees the power of the True Demons emerge. But the Primordial God Sect clearly controls the realm gate and has the means to contact the Dharma Source Realm, yet they seem to deliberately not want the Dharma Source Realm to know about the situation in this world."

Li Miaoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps there is a problem with them. For example, Wei Zhao's soul and body separated. He notified the Dharma Source Realm that there was a way to overcome this calamity, but he may also fall into another crisis. Between the two, if they can handle it themselves, they naturally do not want to cause more trouble."

"That might be true." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "In any case, personal strength is the most important thing."

Li Miaoxuan nodded.

In fact, they also did not want the Origin Realm to get involved. Although they did not know much about that world, they knew that there must be countless experts there.

Both of them have great secrets. Who can guarantee that people from the Dharma Source Realm won't come and spy on them? In the world of cultivation, no one will place their hopes on the kindness of others.

……

The shroud of the ancient realm's phantom dissipated, and the teleportation array returned to normal.

In other realms, the Great Qian cultivators, who had been on tenterhooks, finally felt at ease.

As news of the events of the past two years spread, the appearance of the ancient realm phantom caused a huge uproar in the Linglong Realm.

Besides being shocked by the arrival of the ancient realm and the fact that billions of ancient realm cultivators turned into ghosts to attack the Qian Yuan Realm, they were even more amazed by Gu Yuanqing's sword qi barrier. He single-handedly covered an entire realm and killed countless ghosts from the ancient realm, truly a man who could hold off ten thousand men.

Moreover, this process lasted for more than two years.

The fact that the entire Qian Yuan Realm has remained completely unscathed for more than two years is astonishing in itself.

Combined with the fact that his teachings spread throughout all realms when he was preaching, Gu Yuanqing's prestige grew ever higher, and no one could rival him.

From then on, even the accumulated incense smoke increased!
The matter concerning the Ancient Realm and the Primordial Divine Sect has temporarily come to an end.

Gu Yuanqing once again diverted his attention to enter the Primordial Realm, glanced at the divine lightning still falling in the distance and the Gui Cang Hall whose aura was completely concealed, and then retreated.

In this great battle, they not only suffered no losses themselves, but also gained a lot of advantages;

The Northern Spring Realm absorbed the Yin spirits of the ancient realm, enhancing its own spirituality; it plundered the Primordial Divine Sect, seizing numerous rare and precious materials, spiritual herbs, and cultivation manuals. In addition, it gained a deeper understanding of the secrets of the ancient and primordial realms and learned of Wei Zhao's true trump card.

Therefore, even though the task was not fully accomplished, there was no dissatisfaction in my heart.

In the days that followed, he became very busy.

After the spirituality of Beiquan Cave Heaven was enhanced, many changes occurred, and the mysteries of creation were revealed. It was a good time to comprehend the Dao, which greatly benefited his path to becoming an immortal. Li Miaoxuan often sat in meditation to experience the mysteries within.

Many of the rare and precious materials seized from the Ancient Divine Sect are suitable for being added to the Beiquan Town World Seal and the Azure Nether Sword. Although limited by their own cultivation and Dao practice, it is difficult to truly elevate them to the level of immortal artifacts, they can improve the quality of the magical artifacts and the potential for growth.

This was to prepare for the day when he would undergo the Immortal Tribulation, so that he could take the opportunity to upgrade these two natal magic treasures into immortal artifacts.

The cultivation manuals and insights of the Ancient Divine Sect are also valuable. This sect, which has suppressed countless ages, possesses an unimaginable abundance and comprehensiveness of cultivation methods. Even though the highest level among them is only demigod, they can still provide Gu Yuanqing with many points of reference. In his spare time, he would carefully study them, as these would be resources for his future cultivation and deduction of his own cultivation methods and path.

In addition, there are many ancient books about the past and secrets of the Linglong Realm, which gave him a better understanding of the Primordial Divine Sect.

According to the records, the Taigu Divine Sect was established at the beginning of the ancient era, but the exact year is difficult to verify because there are many gaps in its history.

The founder is known as Ancestor Xuan Yuan, an ancient god and demon who came from chaos.

Li Huang, Zhou Tianyan, Feng Wuhen, Mu Qingxuan, Zhuo Ming, and others are all recorded, and they were all figures from tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago.

However, there is a blank regarding Wei Zhao, and there are no records of events in the ancient world, nor is the Gui Cang Hall among them, as if someone deliberately erased them.

However, Li Miaoxuan and Gu Yuanqing still deduced from some clues that Wei Zhao should have appeared three to four million years ago.

There is a lot of information about rule artifacts and the source of law in this, but whether it is true or not is unknown. Moreover, it is too far removed from the present day. Even if it is true, it may have already changed.

The Ancient Realm and the Primordial Divine Sect have temporarily calmed down. In the Spirit Realm, things are as they always have been. The two paths are constantly colliding and refining themselves. With a Spirit Venerable in charge, the extraterrestrial demons are not a concern.

The only region still in turmoil is the Demon Realm, where the two sides are locked in endless battles, and the brilliance of the blood moon often obscures the sun.

When he sensed the aura of the Demon Realm once again, Gu Yuanqing pondered for a moment and then sent a wisp of his avatar into the Ancient Realm.

The place we entered was still within the original magic circle.

Upon entering again, he was immediately attacked, but unlike before, the attacker was emanating a strong aura of yin energy.

As the celestial realm opened, all attacks vanished without a trace.

Gu Yuanqing also saw the situation clearly: all the ancient warriors who were guarding this place had turned into ghosts.

Looking up, one could vaguely see the phantom of a blood moon in the sky.

Gu Yuanqing looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself, "There really is a problem in the Ancient Realm. The power of the Blood Moon has actually been reflected in the Ancient Realm. It seems that the people of the Great Wei Divine Dynasty are indeed in this situation because of the influence of the True Demon God Soul."

The ghosts kept coming, but Gu Yuanqing had no intention of doing anything, because killing them would be pointless.

One step can take you a thousand miles.

He stood in mid-air, using the Dao of Space to seal his own aura and overlook Wuyi City.

The city he first encountered upon entering the ancient realm has now been transformed into a hellish inferno.

Chaos reigned in the city; the city walls and houses were dilapidated, and the ground was littered with withered bones, with countless ghosts fighting each other.

Only the city lord's mansion remained relatively quiet, while on a mountain peak dozens of miles away from the city, a cultivator of the Heavenly Transformation Realm stood with a faint red glow in his eyes and his body trembling, seemingly trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Gu Yuanqing sighed softly, used the spatial technique to leave, and arrived in another city in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

The scenery in this city was exactly the same as that in Wuyi City. He lingered for a while, then left again. He visited several other cities, and they were all the same.

On his journey, he passed by the place where the treasures of the Qian Yuan Realm had been hidden. Seeing that they were safe and sound, he left without taking them out.

Finally, we arrived at the foot of Jiuqu Mountain, where the former residence of the Qian Yuan Realm had been almost completely razed to the ground.

He remained silent for a moment, then his figure vanished and returned to his physical body.

In the northern part of the city.

Seeing Gu Yuanqing's clone return, Li Miaoxuan asked, "How was it?"

Gu Yuanqing said, "The Ancient Realm has indeed encountered a major problem. Almost everyone below the level of Celestial Being has turned into a ghost, and a blood moon phantom has also appeared. It seems that the matter of suppressing the true demon soul in the Ancient Realm is true."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Both the physical body and the soul that were suppressed have developed problems. If this continues, I'm afraid it will really cause great chaos."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Let's talk about it when the time comes."

Li Miaoxuan looked at Gu Yuanqing and said, "You said some time ago that you planned to go into seclusion. When do you plan to start?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Let's wait a few more years. There are still quite a few ancient texts that the Taigu Divine Sect brought back that we haven't finished reading."

……

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuanqing finally decided to go into seclusion.

The Northern Spring Realm seemed to have completely digested the spiritual energy it had absorbed, and the changes were stabilizing. He himself had also studied all the classics he had obtained from the Ancient Divine Sect.

In other words, with his cultivation level of a Void Immortal, he could understand the meaning of most classic texts with just a glance.

Although it describes the divine path, which is different from the path Gu Yuanqing cultivates, it still gave Gu Yuanqing many unique perspectives and insights.

He and Li Miaoxuan often discussed the Dao, which also gave Gu Yuanqing a lot of new understanding of his own path.

He also spent some time studying the Heavenly Dao Scripture again, the core inheritance of the Qingping Dao Palace. Even now, one can still gain a lot from it. This scripture, which comes from the Immortal Realm and is based on Immortal Painting, seems to express the principles of the Great Dao in the simplest and most concise language.

All these accumulated resources are the foundation for this path of enlightenment.

He sat cross-legged in the main hall, meditating for half a day until his essence, energy, and spirit were complete, before he began to activate the Dao of Derivation's blessing.

The incense smoke from outside the North Spring border surged in and settled between his eyebrows;

The Tai Chi Yin Yang Bagua and the Zhou Tian star pattern appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, and Gu Yuanqing's mind was drawn into the deduction.

The first thing to deduce was one's own cultivation technique, with all sorts of illusions passing by like a fleeting glance.

In the illusions, some die while undergoing tribulation; some die from qi deviation; some grow old and hopeless on their path to immortality, dying in depression; some seem to see themselves undergoing tribulation to become immortals, and go far beyond true immortals, vaguely as if they have ascended to the position of celestial immortals...
