I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 949 The Ancient Realm Approaches, All are Resources

Gu Yuanqing paused for a moment, about to speak.

Xiang Feng'er suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Gu's words of comfort are enough. I've lived for so many years and seen through everything. There's no need to say anything more. Some things are better left unknown to me!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and Xiang Feng'er tucked her loose hair behind her ears, looking up at the sky where a bird flew by.

She smiled and said, "Although it's a bit self-deceptive. Hundreds of years ago, the Red Moon appeared and the city was thrown into chaos. Since then, many images have appeared in my mind. Even if I don't want to admit it or think about it too much, I have some guesses in my heart. However, if I can die as Xiang Feng'er without revealing it, that would be the best ending for me."

Having said that, she bowed gracefully to Gu Yuanqing and said softly, "I beg you, sir, to grant me death!"

"Feng'er!" A low shout rang out, and an elderly man with silver hair appeared. He glanced at Xiang Feng'er, then looked at Gu Yuanqing with a solemn expression.

Xiang Feng'er stood up, looked at the old man, and said with a smile, "Father's cultivation is deeper, and he should have sensed more than I have. He should also know that this is what I have been asking for. In fact, isn't it also what you wish for?"

Gu Yuanqing had actually already noticed the old man, or rather, he hadn't bothered to completely conceal his presence when he arrived here, because there was no need to.

The silver-haired old man said in a deep voice, "He is an enemy of my Great Wei Dynasty!"

Xiang Feng'er said softly, "Does it matter?"

The silver-haired old man remained silent.

Xiang Feng'er smiled again, "I've been trapped in the body of a Yin spirit for millions of years, and all I've longed for is to die like an ordinary person, to return to dust. Feng'er is already tired and weary. If it weren't for Father's company and protection, I'm afraid I would have lost my mind like the other celestial beings and been suppressed in the Heavenly Prison. So..."

She knelt down and bowed, saying, "Please grant my request, Father."

The silver-haired old man trembled slightly, his clenched fists bulging with veins. He stared at Gu Yuanqing and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think you can kill us?"

"Yes," Gu Yuanqing said calmly.

The old man remained silent for a moment, then slowly released his fist, his voice hoarse: "What do you need us to do?"

Gu Yuanqing glanced at him, then looked at Xiang Feng'er and said indifferently, "You don't need to do anything."

With a mere thought, the phantom of the Northern Spring Realm unfolded behind him.

Within the illusory image, mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars all manifested, enveloping the entire city. Under this irresistible force, the entire city suddenly fell silent.

Xiang Feng'er raised her head and looked at the illusory image of the Northern Spring Realm. There was no fear in her eyes, only relief, and a smile on her face.

The silver-haired old man's pupils shrank. As a being at the third level of the Heavenly Transformation, he could naturally sense the immense power within.

Within the city, there was also a powerful cultivator at the Yin-Yang level, but faced with such power, he had no chance to resist. He could feel his Dao Heart pounding violently, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

"This is the feeling, this is the feeling! The threat of death, something I've never felt before! Come on, let it come even more fiercely!"

Within the illusory image, countless sword energies were born out of thin air, falling silently to every corner of the city like a gentle breeze and drizzle.

The sword energy swept across the street, and the "person" walking by paused. The light in his eyes slowly faded, and his body collapsed like a sand sculpture, turning into withered bones. The withered bones then turned into dust and were scattered by the wind.

The sword energy swept past the house, and the "people" inside didn't even have time to react before they vanished.

The ghosts in the city are the same; no one can withstand a single sword strike.

There are countless magic arrays within the city, but they are completely ineffective under the influence of the boundary.

Sword energy swirled in the courtyard, but never descended.

Gu Yuanqing looked at Feng'er and the silver-haired old man and said calmly, "For the sake of our past relationship, I can give you another chance to choose."

Xiang Feng'er smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, but I have already made my decision."

The silver-haired old man glanced at Feng'er and said calmly, "To me, life and death are of no concern."

Gu Yuanqing nodded, and with a thought, the swirling sword energy slashed down.

"Thank you, sir!" Xiang Feng'er smiled, tilted her head back slightly, and closed her eyes.

The silver-haired old man reached out to grab her, but halfway through, he withdrew his hand and sighed deeply.

The sword energy pierced through Feng'er's body.

She felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a burden she had carried for millions of years had been lifted off her shoulders in this moment.

She opened her eyes and watched her body become transparent, watching herself turn into nothingness. She turned her head to look at the silver-haired old man and seemed to call out "Father," but no words came out.

The silver-haired old man's lips trembled, he raised his hand, and closed his eyes.

The sword energy pierced through his body, causing his figure to disintegrate and turn into yin energy.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm; he had seen far too many life-and-death situations before.

This was their own choice, and for them, it was a relief, especially since they could die while retaining their original identities.

In that instant, the entire city of Wuyi was transformed into a dead zone.

The city was filled with withered bones, and demonic energy and the power of life and death surged throughout the city.

Gu Yuanqing's figure floated up into the air, raised his hand and grabbed, his five fingers slightly clenched.

The remaining demonic thoughts and life-and-death energy in the city flew over and gathered in his palm, still turning into the size of a fist.

I used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull this force back into the Northern Spring Realm.

All of this was already second nature to me!
He glanced down again, and then his figure disappeared.

……

Inside the imperial palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Wei Wuji, sitting on the throne, suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of Wuyi City.

His pupils narrowed slightly, and his eyes gleamed with divine light.

"Finally couldn't hold back and made a move?"

Although Wuyi City is not considered a major city, it is still one of the larger cities.

When the city of the Divine Dynasty was built, it was naturally in accordance with the orientation of the great formation, and the energy of each element was interconnected.

As the ruler of the divine dynasty, sitting in the central hub, even though he is hundreds of millions of miles away, he can still sense certain things.

"We've waited so long, it's finally here!" Wei Wuji smiled, then shouted in a low voice, "Guards!"

Outside the hall, divine guards entered and knelt on the ground in worship.

Wei Wuji said, "Go and invite General Feng Yue and Zhou Wei, the Director of the Astronomical Bureau, over here."

"promise!"

……

Within the boundaries of Beiquan.

Gu Yuanqing quietly savored the benefits that refining demonic thoughts and the power of life and death brought to the Northern Spring Realm.

A city with millions of people, after being refined, the gains far exceeded the previous ones, and he could clearly feel the increase in spirituality in the Northern Spring Realm.

In addition, it seems that some major paths in the Northern Spring Realm are being nourished, and the benefits seem to be greater than previously predicted.

The people of the ancient realm are entangled with the thoughts of the great cultivators of the ancient realm and the Demon Lord. In addition, the power of the Mirror of Rebirth should also be intertwined within them.

When the ancient realm descended upon the Qian Yuan realm and merged with the Great Dao of the Qian Yuan realm, even with Gu Yuanqing's Heavenly Fishing Technique, he could not pull it into the Bei Quan realm. He could only guide its power to the edge of the Bei Quan realm for devouring, and most of it would flow back into the ancient realm.

However, it is now possible to pull directly back to the Qian Yuan Realm from the Ancient Realm. This is not only because, with the understanding of the mystery of the fishing platform on the west side, the mastery of the Heavenly Fishing Technique has reached a new level, but also because the Northern Spring Realm itself has grown, and the Way of Manipulating Objects can imprison these powers within it, completely severing their connection with the Mirror of Rebirth.

Therefore, what I have obtained from refining today far exceeds what I gained from killing the same people back then.

Even Li Miaoxuan could sense some changes in the Northern Spring Realm; the increase in spirituality made the Great Dao of the Northern Spring Realm a little more lively.

She even had a vague feeling that the Northern Spring Realm was already developing in the direction of transcending the mortal realm.

She wasn't too surprised by this.

After all, Beiquan Realm was originally just an ordinary mountain, but when she left Qianyuan Realm, embarked on the path to heaven, and went to the Spirit Realm to seek the Dao, this mountain had already transformed into a spiritual mountain. And when she returned to Qianyuan Realm from the Spirit Realm, it had become a grotto-heaven.

Later, he witnessed this grotto-heaven transform into a world, eventually connecting with the Dharma Source Realm.

All of these things demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this mountain.

"Will the Northern Spring Realm one day become like the Immortal Realm?"

Li Miaoxuan glanced at the man beside her.

Gu Yuanqing also looked over, and the two exchanged a smile as their eyes met.

After a long pause, Li Miaoxuan said, "I'm afraid the Great Wei Dynasty will not allow you to do as you please!"

Gu Yuanqing lay lazily in the chair and laughed, "Haven't they always been hoping I would take action? I'll just grant their wish."

Li Miaoxuan chuckled and said, "What they hope for is to use your power to sever the entanglement between their own power and demonic thoughts, not to wipe you out completely like this."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Nothing in this world is ever that easy. If they want me to bear the consequences, they will naturally have to pay the price. Now we'll see when they realize it."

"It shouldn't be too long. After all, it's an avatar. Even if it's been separated for millions of years, it should still have a connection with the main body. According to their thinking, you used the Dao of Creation to kill the people of the ancient world and separate their demonic thoughts. Their own power should return to the main body. If it doesn't return, they will naturally notice something is wrong."

Moreover, the Great Wei Dynasty should also possess treasures that can detect your actions.

Gu Yuanqing said, "You'll know once you see!"

……

Within the ancient realm.

Gu Yuanqing did not stop for a moment. Judging from the information transmitted by the main body, the results far exceeded expectations.

He was naturally happy to do anything that benefited the Beiquan region.

For him, the Northern Spring Realm was his greatest reliance, one of the most important things besides his own cultivation, and the foundation upon which he could stand in this chaotic world.

Only by maximizing the strength of the Northern Spring Realm can we have more confidence and resources to cope with the great chaos that may come in the future.

They arrived at another city, named Sandao City.

Similar to Wuyi, but here Gu Yuanqing has no old friends.

Gu Yuanqing stood in mid-air, looking down at the city below.

This city is several times larger than Wuyi City, and the yin energy within it is so dense that it almost solidifies, surging and flowing through the streets and alleys.

The spirits wandered through the yin energy, some aimlessly drifting, others fighting each other.

As soon as he appeared, a figure soared into the sky from within the city.

This man, clad in armor, was a general in the Great Wei army. His aura was at the third level of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and he was surrounded by a thick gray-black aura. His eyes gleamed with a faint red light.

Clearly corrupted by demonic thoughts, yet still managing to maintain a sliver of consciousness.

He stared at Gu Yuanqing, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before shouting sharply, "A person from outside the realm?"

This loud shout was like a stone thrown into stagnant water, instantly creating ripples.

The ghosts in the city all looked up, countless empty eyes fixed on Gu Yuanqing in mid-air.

They sensed the presence of living people, and a vitality that seemed out of place in this world.

Resentment, greed, and longing—countless emotions surged in their eyes.

Thousands upon thousands of ghosts surged forth from the streets, houses, and cracks in the ground, rushing towards Gu Yuanqing like a tidal wave.

Several more figures took flight from the city; all of them were at the Celestial Realm.

When one of them recognized Gu Yuanqing's face, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "Gu Yuanqing?"

The name struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in the ears of the others.

Their reactions varied; some turned pale, some showed a hint of fear in their eyes, but most reacted with fervor.

"So you're Gu Yuanqing!"

A crazed light ignited in the eyes of an old man in a gray robe, his aura surged, and he made the first move, a spear transforming into a streak of light, piercing straight for Gu Yuanqing's face.

The others also made their moves, unleashing a deluge of spells, magical artifacts, and supernatural powers.

Faced with all this, Gu Yuanqing didn't even lift an eyelid.

Boundary Imminent!

The phantom of the Northern Spring Realm suddenly unfolded behind him, enveloping the city.

Sword energy swept across the land, annihilating all people and vengeful spirits.

Moments later, the city was reduced to ruins.

Gu Yuanqing's figure disappeared again.

Gu Yuanqing did not stop for a moment, because just as Li Miaoxuan said, once he made a move, the Great Wei Dynasty would find out sooner or later.

Although it seems that there are no rivals in the Great Wei Divine Dynasty on the surface, with only two demigods appearing from beginning to end, and Wei Zhao being trapped in the Gui Cang Hall by divine punishment, apart from that, the emperor of the Great Wei Divine Dynasty, Wei Wuji, has not yet appeared.

Moreover, given that the Great Cultivator can divide millions of people, who knows if he might have other trump cards up his sleeve? There are many variables involved.

Before these uncertainties arise, the best choice is to seize the benefits as much as possible!

On another city, Gu Yuanqing was about to make his move when he suddenly sensed something, looked up, and his eyes gleamed.

"Is this an attempt to use supernatural powers to spy on my movements? They're quite fast. It seems I need to speed things up even more."

……

Inside the palace.

Zhou Wei held a bronze mirror in his hand, bit his fingertip, and used his blood essence to draw a talisman on the mirror surface. The mirror trembled slightly and shone brightly.

The bronze mirror floated in mid-air, shrinking to nine feet in size. White mist surged within the mirror, gradually dissipating, and the outlines of mountains, rivers, and cities became faintly visible.

A figure stood in mid-air; it was none other than Gu Yuanqing!
The other person seemed to sense it too, and looked up.

Their gazes seemed to cross mountains and rivers, intersecting in the mirror.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the mirror, blurring the image within until it returned to its original state of dense white mist.

Wei Wuji laughed and said, "Gu Yuanqing is quite alert; he detected the power of the Sky-Gazing Mirror so quickly."

Zhou Wei's expression turned somewhat solemn as he said, "This person also seems to be well-versed in the ways of heavenly secrets."

Wei Wuji waved his hand and laughed, "It's not surprising. Since he comes from the Dharma Source Realm, how could he not have some tricks up his sleeve? Otherwise, even Zhao'er wouldn't be able to do anything to him."

The atmosphere in the main hall was quite relaxed. As long as Gu Yuanqing was willing to take action, everything would be fine.

Feng Yue was also standing nearby, but he didn't say anything.

After a short while, the mist in the mirror dissipated, and the image of the city reappeared.

Seeing the empty city, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly tense. Although the people here had regained much of their memories and had long anticipated this outcome, so many years had passed, and the people in the city were all subjects of the Great Wei.

Wei Wuji was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Everyone was once trapped within it, and today they are finally free. We should be happy. To be honest, Gu Yuanqing's strength is indeed extraordinary; he was able to wipe out everyone in the entire city in such a short time."

Zhou Wei also smiled: "After all, he is a demigod. At this level, killing one person is no different from killing 100,000 people. The only thing that is hard to confirm is whether he used the Dao of Creation."

Wei Wuji was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he stared intently at the mirror.

"wrong!"
