Chapter 551 Deducing the Five Elements Sword Formation!

After much deliberation, Gu Yuan decided to return to Luofu Immortal City to keep his appointment with Gu Xuanqing of Yuqiao Immortal Palace for a duel on the Life and Death Platform.

However... the other party is, after all, the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace. Gu Yuan cannot afford to offend such a powerful and influential force for the time being.

The last time Gu Xuanfeng was killed, it was fine, after all, the people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace were completely unprepared and did not expect that Gu Xuanfeng would be defeated by Gu Yuan.

But this time, what if these people are well-prepared and collude with Luofu Immortal Island in advance?

If Gu Yuan wins the life-or-death duel with Gu Xuanqing, some people might be willing to risk everything and resort to underhanded tactics.

Gu Yuan was unwilling to risk his life to travel to Luofu Immortal Island.

In his view, his own life was of utmost importance, and he could not afford to take any risks.

So, just to be on the safe side, it's best to leave the main body here.

If you're going to go, just send your clone there.

Even if Jade Bridge Immortal Palace or others truly harbor ill intentions, Gu Yuan was merely a spy; the loss was no big deal.

Of course, besides that, Gu Yuan himself also had other things to do.

He planned to use his accumulated sword techniques, sword manuals, sword scriptures, and various formations as a foundation to deduce a Five Elements Sword Dao Grand Formation.

His current foundation is still the Way of Water, or rather, most of his foundation is the Way of Water, and the rest is the Way of Sword, Thunder, the Way of Space, and so on.

However, relying solely on these is still insufficient; these attributes are not unified, or rather, they lack a true core.

On the contrary, after being blessed with the Creation Spirit Body, his physique changed and his potential became greater. Therefore, if he can take the Water Element Great Dao as the foundation, and integrate and refine the Earth Element, Metal Element, Wood Element, and Fire Element Great Dao, and integrate them into the Sword Dao to form the Five Elements Sword Dao, and use this as the foundation of the Great Dao, his future will be much broader and his foundation will be more solid.

In fact, Gu Yuan was preparing for his future advancement to the Primordial Spirit realm.

Having reached this point, he was no longer considering advancing to the Yin God realm, as this was something that would naturally and logically occur.

The main reason is that after transforming into a Creation Spirit Body, Gu Yuan felt that he had greater potential, so he should naturally make corresponding changes.

Deducing a Five Elements Sword Dao Formation is certainly not easy. Fortunately, Gu Yuan had previously acquired many sword techniques and scriptures, as well as some formations with attributes such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and even classics such as the Five Elements Primordial Formation and the Five Spirits Formation.

Moreover, Gu Yuan himself had cultivated the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, so he was not a complete novice when it came to the Five Elements Dao.

On the contrary, he actually has considerable expertise in the Five Elements theory.

Moreover, after undergoing multiple transformations, Gu Yuan's talent for cultivation and his comprehension have improved far and wide.

Although the Way of Formations is an unorthodox path, it is a path that directly leads to longevity and the origin of the Great Dao, and is much more profound than the Way of the Golden Elixir.

But Gu Yuan was also confident in his comprehension and talent.

Moreover, Gu Yuan did not intend to deduce a formation out of thin air. Instead, he used a formation called "Five Elements Returning to Origin Formation" and "Five Elements Profound Pivot Sword Technique" as the foundation, and integrated many other formations and sword techniques to deduce and improve this sword formation.

So, for the next period of time, Gu Yuan began to cultivate in seclusion, studying formations and sword techniques, and trying to deduce their application.

……

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan's clone, disguised as "Chu He," returned to Luofu Immortal City.

The people of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace had been keeping an eye on Gu Yuan's (Chu He's) whereabouts, so when Gu Yuan appeared, he was immediately spotted by some people with ulterior motives. As for Gu Yuan, he was unaware of anything and immediately noticed some eyes watching him, both openly and secretly.

However, this was exactly what he expected. Since the people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace had taken the initiative to issue a challenge, asking him to fight Gu Xuanqing on the Life and Death Arena, they would obviously have made some preparations for it.

Today is the day Gu Yuan and Gu Xuanqing will fight on the Life and Death Arena. This matter has already been publicized by the people of Yuqiao Immortal Palace, so many cultivators have gathered near the Life and Death Arena.

Most of them came to watch the excitement and enjoy the show, while some were trying to figure out the background of "Chu He" and Gu Xuanqing.

For the vast majority of cultivators, neither Gu Xuanqing nor Chu He were ordinary people.

One of them was a top cultivator on the Dragon Ranking, a first-grade Dan cultivator, and a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace. The other was also extraordinary. Despite his profound cultivation and strength, his identity was quite mysterious, and it was unknown which sect he came from, which made people very curious.

The two were locked in a life-or-death duel on the arena; no one wanted to miss such a spectacular scene.

When Gu Yuan arrived near the arena of life and death, he saw this lively scene. The area was packed with people, a veritable sea of ​​people, whispering and making a noisy commotion.

However, Gu Yuan had anticipated this.

He ignored the various gazes of the group and looked towards the life-or-death stage.

At this moment, Gu Xuanqing was already standing on the life-or-death stage.

This man was tall and slender, with a handsome, British-looking face and a pair of eyes that shone with a purple light. He was outstanding in appearance, and even just standing with his hands behind his back, he exuded an air of authority.

At this moment, Gu Xuanqing naturally noticed Gu Yuan's gaze. He calmly met Gu Yuan's gaze, his eyes showing no resentment or anger, but rather a calm and composed demeanor.

although……

His younger brother, Gu Xuanfeng, was previously killed by Gu Yuan.

But Gu Yuan couldn't sense any hostility from the other party. In fact, Gu Xuanqing gave him a bit of the feeling of Yan Chunyang.

This surprised Gu Yuan. Could it be that this was another rare seeker of the Dao who was single-mindedly devoted to it?
Upon thinking of this, Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

Gu Xuanqing seemed somewhat surprised as well, and nodded slightly in response.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then strode towards the arena of life and death.

It seems he has encountered another figure like Yan Chunyang today.

However, compared to Yan Chunyang, who had already become a force to be reckoned with, Gu Xuanqing, although he had already achieved the first rank of the Golden Core and possessed extremely high cultivation, reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm and even touching the Yin Spirit realm, did not think that the other party could defeat him unless he had some powerful trump card, such as a top-tier magic weapon or a forbidden divine power.

As for holding back?
Of course, it was impossible to hold back. Every Golden Core cultivator who had achieved the first rank of Dan had their own pride, especially a devout Daoist like Gu Xuanqing.

If Gu Yuan chooses to hold back, it would be disrespectful to both himself and Gu Xuanqing.

Moreover, at this moment, Gu Yuan also unusually put away his initial perfunctory and indifferent attitude, and instead became serious and focused.

Even his expression seemed to have changed.

Gu Xuanqing saw this.
