Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 552 Profound Nether True Water!

Just as Gu Yuan was about to step onto the life-or-death arena, he paused and saw a familiar face.

This man was none other than Xue Wulong, the Yin God giant of Yuqiao Immortal Palace. At this moment, the middle-aged man was smiling at him. When Gu Yuan looked over, he nodded slightly to Gu Yuan, appearing quite amiable. Anyone who didn't know them would think that the two were old acquaintances and had a good relationship.

But Gu Yuan was no ordinary man; he sensed an undisguised, chilling malice emanating from Xue Wulong.

The intensity of this malice was so great that even Gu Yuan was taken aback.

However, the other party naturally had a reason to do so. Gu Xuanfeng, as well as Ji Kang and Ji Geng, had all perished at Gu Yuan's hands. It could be said that the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace had completely lost face at Gu Yuan's hands.

Because of his poor performance, Xue Wulong, despite being a senior elder of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, was implicated and severely punished. As a result, Xue Wulong harbored immense resentment and hostility towards Gu Yuan, wishing he could personally take action to skin Gu Yuan alive, tear him to pieces, and burn his soul to the ground!
"What is it, Senior Xue? Do you have something to say?"

Although Gu Yuan didn't know the specifics, he could guess the gist of it and understood the reason for the other party's hostility. So Gu Yuan revealed a half-smile and deliberately provoked them.

"Young friend Chu, you'd better be careful later..."

Xue Wulong, however, did not seem angry. Instead, he gave a meaningful reminder.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that there was definitely something fishy about this life-or-death duel!

Fortunately, he didn't care!
Next, Gu Yuan completely ignored Xue Wulong and headed straight for the Life and Death Arena.

but……

His gaze finally fell upon an unassuming old man not far away.

The old man was not tall, had a goatee, a blank and pale face, and no strong aura about him.

However, for some reason, the moment Gu Yuan saw this person, he felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingle. He felt a coldness rush from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head, giving him an instinctive urge to turn around and run away.

Gu Yuan didn't look at it for long. Some thoughts were churning in his mind, but on the surface he remained calm and composed. Then he flew directly to the high platform.

Yangshen!

He is definitely a powerful Yang God!
Gu Yuan wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that the old man was likely someone arranged by the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, or rather, a big shot from the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace.

Moreover, 99% of the time it's directed at me.

Because Gu Yuan had seen powerful Yang Gods before; he had even seen them several times.

He had even seen primordial spirit immortals.

However, without exception, none of these people felt the same sense of danger that the old man had given them.

This is because although the old man did not reveal his hostility or murderous intent towards him, but kept his murderous intent locked deep within his body, Gu Yuan himself had cultivated a rare immortal-grade golden elixir, and had a special premonition about matters concerning his own life.

Therefore, despite the old man's excellent concealment, Gu Yuan still managed to discover him.

but……

He has come in two places at once, so there is no need for him to be afraid of this matter.

Thoughts raced through his mind, but Gu Yuan quickly suppressed them, then looked at Gu Xuanqing opposite him and said:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, today we have determined who is superior and who is inferior, and we will decide our life or death. Please proceed."

Gu Xuanqing nodded, glanced at Gu Yuan again, and said, "Please." As he spoke, a blue light burst forth from behind him, and within the shimmering light, a luminous spirit pearl was faintly visible.

A purplish-red treasure bottle floated above his head, spewing out rays of light like curtains of water, enveloping him within.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised. His opponent was unexpectedly cautious and steady. At the very beginning of the battle, he used his magic weapon to protect himself instead of attacking. This was indeed a rare occurrence.

At least Gu Yuan has never encountered this situation before.

Moreover, in Gu Yuan's opinion, the treasure bottle on Gu Xuanqing's head was of very high quality, a mid-grade magic treasure that was close to a high-grade magic treasure, and it was very likely the other party's natal magic treasure.

In the cultivation world, magical artifacts and treasures such as bells, cauldrons, furnaces, pagodas, and seals are often more difficult to refine and are more powerful and mysterious than other magical artifacts and treasures of the same level.

The quality of that spirit pearl is probably even higher than that treasure bottle.

Gu Yuan smiled, and a misty light appeared above his head, within which a bronze-colored, ancient-style bell emitting a faint golden light was faintly visible.

Before Gu Yuan appeared a flying sword, which exuded a terrifyingly sharp killing intent. Even across the arena of life and death, it sent a chill through the cultivators below.

The flying sword's light shifted, transforming into one hundred and eight sword lights that coordinated perfectly, directly enveloping Gu Xuanqing.

Although Gu Yuan came as an avatar and did not bring his natal magic weapon or any other items, he was still able to summon his natal magic weapons one by one with his Dreamy Flower Great Divine Power, and the power of the magic weapons was as much as 60 to 70% of the original magic weapons.

This is enough for Gu Yuan.
At this moment, the sword light of his Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword split, directly splitting into one hundred and eight sword lights. Each sword light was as thin as a silk thread, yet incomparably sharp, weaving together into a sky-sealing and earth-locking net, completely blocking Gu Xuanqing's path.

Seeing this, Gu Xuanqing pointed his finger, and a stream of dark black true water surged from the natal magic treasure above his head. This true water exuded a cold and heavy aura and met the sword silk net.

Under normal circumstances, the sword-silk net that Gu Yuan uses is exceptionally sharp, capable of cutting through almost all tangible and intangible things in the world, even ordinary-quality magical treasures.

However, this net of sword threads seemed to have met its nemesis when it came into contact with the dark black true water.

These dark black true waters erupted with a terrifying chill, actually freezing the sword threads. A thick layer of black frost appeared on their surface, drastically reducing the power of the sword thread net.

Even the connection between Gu Yuan and the sword silk net has weakened considerably.

Moreover, this dark black true water was exceptionally heavy, each drop as heavy as a small mountain, making it extremely difficult for Gu Yuan to drive the sword silk net.

"It's actually Xuanming True Water!!!"

Gu Yuan was also somewhat surprised. This Xuanming True Water was one of the seven great innate true waters, with immense power and boundless potential, possessing characteristics such as heaviness, coldness, and condensation.

Even if it were a primordial true fire of the same level, it would be extremely difficult to incinerate it.

When Gu Yuan cultivates the water-based magic method to the Yin Spirit realm, he can actually condense the Taiyuan True Water.

This Taiyuan True Water is also one of the seven great innate true waters, and it has other mysteries that are no less than this Xuanming True Water.

This shows that Gu Xuanqing's cultivation of water-based supernatural powers had reached a level of consummate skill.

However, Gu Yuan's swordsmanship was naturally not that simple.
