I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 938 The Appearance of a Fallen Immortal
"The Dharma Source Realm?" Li Miaoxuan's heart skipped a beat.

She was naturally familiar with the Dharma Source Realm, which was like the Immortal Realm above the Spirit Realm within the Linglong Realm.

Even though she had some suspicions about the existence of the Northern Spring Realm, she never expected that it could directly connect to the Dharma Source Realm.

Moreover, she could see that the current state between the Northern Spring Realm and the Dharma Source Realm was almost the same as that between the Northern Spring Realm and the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm!
Witnessing this scene, she quickly came to a true understanding of what the Northern Spring Realm was like.

Even though I had guessed it beforehand, I was still deeply shocked.

Too unique, too mysterious.

Despite her cultivation level and knowledge, she had never heard of such a being.

"It's a pity it's not the Immortal Realm!" Gu Yuanqing sighed softly.

Li Miaoxuan, Li Chengyi, and even Li Guanrong, Gu Siyuan and other descendants all followed the path of immortality, and one day they would ascend to the immortal realm. If the Dharma Source Realm were connected to the immortal realm, all problems could be solved. But now it is connected to the Dharma Source Realm, and in the future, they will inevitably have to make choices.

Li Miaoxuan instantly understood what Gu Yuanqing was thinking. She held Gu Yuanqing's hand and said softly, "Nothing in this world is perfect. The Northern Spring Realm can connect to the Dharma Source Realm, and perhaps it can also connect to the Immortal Realm in the future!"

Gu Yuanqing gripped the soft hand tightly and laughed, "You're right, I was too greedy. Nothing is perfect. At least by connecting to the Dharma Source Realm, the Northern Spring Realm will grow faster. Maybe one day it will also be able to connect to the Immortal Realm, but..."

At this point, Gu Yuanqing glanced at Li Miaoxuan.

Li Miaoxuan smiled gently: "I am only a thousand years old now. Although I really want to go up and see the scenery on the path to immortality, there is no rush. Moreover, if I want to go further, it is equally important to hone my foundation."

Gu Yuanqing smiled; he understood what Li Miaoxuan meant.

Although I am somewhat disappointed that this incident involved the Dharma Source Realm, there is no point in dwelling on it now that it has already happened.

Li Miaoxuan then asked, "How do you plan to deal with this world?"

Gu Yuanqing activated his Void-Piercing Heavenly Eye and looked around.

Beiquan Mountain is nestled among the mountains, with its undulating peaks stretching as far as the eye can see.

Looking further afield, thousands of miles away, a massive city stretches across the plain.

The entire city covers a vast area of ​​a thousand miles, with towering city walls that reach into the clouds, constructed entirely of dark blue-green boulders.

Every thousand feet along the city wall stands an arrow tower, its top gleaming with the light of magical artifacts.

At the city gate stood two towering stone statues, each a hundred feet tall, one holding a sword and the other holding a pagoda, radiating a chilling aura.

The scene inside the city was obscured by a magic array.

Gu Yuanqing did not try to see through their scheme. Observing from a distance would not attract attention, but if he were to actually use his methods, it would surely alert the experts among them.

"Let's leave it for now. We don't know much about the Dharma Source Realm, and no one knows how many experts are in it. Taking any rash action might cause trouble, so it's better to be cautious." Gu Yuanqing looked around a few more times before turning his gaze away.

Li Miaoxuan nodded: "That is indeed the best way. This world is on a higher level, with too many variables, so getting involved is not a good choice."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Then let's pretend this never happened. Anyway, our paths don't lie in this world."

Li Miaoxuan nodded.

To be honest, both of them were somewhat curious about this new world, but reason told them it was best not to get involved.

In such a high-level world, any concealment can be detected.

Even if you want to explore this world, you should wait until you have a sufficient understanding of it.

After looking at each other for a while, the two turned around and strolled away, walking through the mountains and forests like an ordinary couple.

And the image of the Dharma Source Realm in the sky disappeared.

Just then, Gu Yuanqing suddenly looked up.

A figure appeared where the mountain range had been. He looked around in confusion, and a vertical eye appeared between his brows.

Divine light shone from his vertical gaze, and strands of power directly penetrated into the void.

Li Miaoxuan looked at Gu Yuanqing with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yuanqing said, "Someone has come from the Dharma Source Realm. It must have been because there were some fluctuations in space when the Northern Spring Realm connected to the Dharma Source Realm that attracted them here."

Li Miaoxuan asked, "Is everything alright?"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled: "It's alright! It's just a demigod level."

As the two were talking, the person in mid-air had already left.

How could a mere demigod possibly find any trace of the Northern Spring Realm?

……

With the connection between the Northern Spring Realm and the Dharma Source Realm, the Northern Spring Realm's growth rate has accelerated even further.

The primordial energy in the Dharma Source Realm is even purer; every bit of power absorbed and transformed can be converted into ten parts of spiritual energy.

Even though they tried to avoid making too much noise from devouring others and attracting their attention, the daily profits from the conversion were still quite impressive.

The power of the rule-based artifacts is also a great tonic for the Northern Spring Realm.

This gave Gu Yuanqing a completely different feeling than when he was in the Linglong Realm.

The Dao of Rules and Divine Artifacts in the Linglong Realm has many shortcomings and flaws, while the Dao of Rules and Divine Artifacts in the Fayuan Realm is clearly much more complete.

This is actually normal, after all, this is the closest realm to the true form of the divine artifact of rules above the Nine Heavens.

The level of the rule artifact itself is actually extremely high, at least far higher than the current Northern Spring Realm and Spirit Realm.

Gu Yuanqing could sense the intangible and ineffable profound Daoist charm contained within the falling starlight.

It permeated every inch of the void in the Northern Spring Realm, merging into every law.

Gu Yuanqing could clearly feel these changes. In fact, from that day on, while he was contemplating the mountains and comprehending the Dao, he would often guide Li Miaoxuan to experience these changes together.

These changes themselves constitute the improvement of the Beiquan Boundary Avenue.

This was also a flaw in the Great Dao that Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan had never noticed before.

Of course, this is not surprising. As the saying goes, "Without climbing high mountains, one cannot know the height of the sky; without standing on the edge of deep valleys, one cannot know the depth of the earth."

How can one understand one's own shortcomings if one has never seen a more perfect path?

In particular, Gu Yuanqing's path to breaking through to the Immortal Realm differed from Li Miaoxuan's.

Thus, the myriad stones of the Wuliang River Sect reflect the flaws of its own Great Dao.

The Dao and principles within the Myriad Dao Stone are in line with the Dao of the rules and divine artifacts of the Dharma Source Realm, but are even more profound.

The transformation of Beiquan Realm was carried out based on the world it connected with and Gu Yuanqing's own understanding.

The Great Dao that Gu Yuanqing felt was also closely related to the Northern Spring Realm. The Great Dao that the Northern Spring Realm was currently perfecting was also Gu Yuanqing's own deficiency.

Li Miaoxuan is not much different.

Experiencing the process of change and improvement in the Northern Spring Boundary is far clearer and more beneficial than comprehending the existing Great Dao.

Time passed little by little.

The main road in the Northern Spring Realm is gradually becoming more transparent, and the previously weak points are being filled and reinforced little by little.

Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan also felt that their already near-perfect Dao foundations had taken another step forward with their increased comprehension. Their auras became increasingly ethereal, like immortals in the mortal world.

Unbeknownst to him, one day, Gu Yuanqing noticed a change in the panel within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Host: Gu Yuanqing
Title: Lord of the Small World
Title Blessings: Mountain Viewer, Artifact Master, Celestial Fishing, Dao Evolution, Boundary Ascension

Cultivation talent: Unparalleled (like a banished immortal)

Comprehension: Unparalleled (like a banished immortal)
Location: Beiquan World (Small World)
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This is finally an improvement; his aptitude and comprehension have reached a high level.

He knew that this was the combined effect of the Northern Spring Realm's own increased strength and blessings, as well as his own improved cultivation, perfected Dao, and enhanced comprehension and aptitude.

However, to be honest, he doesn't care about these things too much anymore.

I glanced at it once and then forgot about it.

Time flies, and another century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past century, Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan's cultivation has truly reached a point where they are only half a step away from the peak of the Void Immortal realm.

In fact, if the two of them were willing, they could quickly attract the Heavenly Tribulation to become immortals.

The Dao Source True Seed is already at its most perfect state, and the mysteries of creation within it seem ready to burst forth at any moment.

However, neither of them seems to be planning to take the next step anytime soon.

It seems that since that day, Li Miaoxuan has never entered a secret realm connected to her soul to improve her cultivation. Instead, the level of the magical treasures she possesses has become higher and higher.

The aura emanating from the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was even more profound, and the Nine Heavens Moonlight Chain also faintly exuded an aura of upheaval.

She retrieved the Taixu Ruyi robe that she had once given to Gu Yuanqing, and when she returned it to Gu Yuanqing a month later, the robe had already transformed into a celestial artifact.

Gu Yuanqing simply smiled and glanced at her a few more times before putting on his robes, pulling Li Miaoxuan into his arms, and asking no further questions.

The two spent less and less time practicing alone, and most of their time was spent talking and discussing the Dao together, walking side by side.

We sit facing each other in the courtyard, brew a pot of tea, and watch the clouds drift by.
Strolling through the ever-expanding Beiquan territory, traversing every newly sprouted mountain and stream.

Sometimes, when you reach the mountain peak, you can watch the sea of ​​clouds surge and the sky light change.
Sometimes, walking along the stream, you can hear the babbling of the water and the chirping of birds.

Occasionally, they would discover a rare flower in a secluded valley, or find a natural spring on a newly formed mountain peak. The two would pause for a moment to admire it before continuing their journey.

Or come to the edge of the realm to see space and earth born from nothingness.

They were inseparable and cherished their time together.

Although they never talked about it, they both knew that they might have to part ways one day, but they both seemed to hope that day would come later.

The years are quiet.

No major incidents have occurred in the Demon Realm since then;
No one from the Ancient Divine Sect came to bother them again;

No one within the Dharma Source Realm noticed the quiet arrival of another world.

Until one day, Gu Yuanqing sensed a violent tremor coming from the Dharma Source Realm.

He turned his gaze over and saw two powerful deities battling in the air.

A person was surrounded by raging flames, with a huge, crimson ancient cauldron phantom floating behind him;

The other person exuded a chilling aura, with a dark blue banner standing behind him. As the banner fluttered, countless ice crystals condensed in the vast void.

When their forces collided, the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The laws of the surrounding tens of thousands of miles were thrown into chaos, sometimes raging flames scorched the sky, sometimes chilling air to the bone. The two forces intertwined and tore the void to pieces.

A protective barrier rose above the city thousands of miles away, rippling outwards from the aftermath of the battle. The cultivators standing on the city walls wore solemn expressions, for if the protective array were broken, the entire city would likely be destroyed.

The aftershocks of the battle also reached the area where Beiquan Realm was located, with countless mountains collapsing in the surrounding area; a blazing flame fell, turning a hundred miles around into a sea of ​​fire.

However, none of these things affected the Northern Spring Realm. Even when the power of a Celestial God descended, it vanished like a gentle breeze.

“He is a powerhouse at the level of a Celestial God!” Li Miaoxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "He is indeed much stronger than Wei Zhao."

“That’s normal. Wei Zhao’s soul and body are separated, so he doesn’t dare to go all out,” Li Miaoxuan said.

"There are two divine artifacts of the rules. One should be the Nirvana Purification Cauldron, but I don't know what the other one is. There is no trace of it in the Linglong Realm," Gu Yuanqing said.

The battle lasted for half a day, and the center of the battle became increasingly distant until it disappeared completely.

Half a day later, a group of five people arrived above this mountain range.

The leader was a demigod-level cultivator, a middle-aged man in a crimson robe, with faint flames swirling around him.

They split up, using their pupil techniques to search carefully for something, while another person used a compass in his hand to continuously cast hand seals.

"Go and take a look over there!"

Someone responded and got down.

A moment later, he shouted, "My lord, there is a lingering aura of a divine artifact here!"

The leader also stepped down and said, "It is indeed a remnant of the Daoist aura of the Nirvana Purification Cauldron. It is very faint and should be a fragment of the law that was scattered during the collision."

Another cultivator leaned over and whispered, "My lord, why did Qin Tianshen and Hanyuan Tianshen suddenly start fighting?"

The leader gave him a cold look: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. The more you know about the affairs of the important figures in the Divine Court, the faster you'll die."

The monk gave an awkward smile.

Just then, someone exclaimed with delight, "My lord, here are fragments of the Cleansing Cauldron's laws, source crystals!"

The leader quickly went over and used a spell to carefully draw up a thumb-sized crystal, entirely red gold and enveloped in raging flames.

Then, he carefully placed it into a jade box and sealed it away, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

……

Gu Yuanqing naturally saw these people as well. He did not approach them, but simply observed them with his Heavenly Eye of Insight and listened to their conversation.

He watched these people leave and return to the city called Taihua.

Over the past century, through occasional observations of the outside world, Gu Yuanqing has roughly learned about the location of this place and some general conditions of the Dharma Source Realm.

The entire realm is roughly divided into two major forces: one is the Divine Court, and the other is the Guixu Alliance that Wei Zhao mentioned.

The two who fought the previous battle were both gods in the Divine Court!

However, Gu Yuanqing took all of this as amusement, and also made some preparations in case the existence of the Northern Spring Realm was discovered in the future.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

Wei Zhao suddenly arrived outside the Qian Yuan Realm again, and his first words to Gu Yuanqing were: "The power of the Demon Lord's divine soul has leaked into the Linglong Realm!"
