Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The news spread from all around the Broken Cloud Mountains.

Gu Changjin, the newly promoted Nascent Soul Grandmaster of the Xuan Yang Sect, attained enlightenment and transformed into a deity in the Duan Yun Mountains, opened the Xuanming Guixu Cave Heaven, and obtained the innate divine power of Guixu.

When this news first came out, the first reaction of the entire Western Wilderness cultivation world was not shock.

Instead, they don't believe it... What a joke!

Who is Gu Changjin?

The newly promoted Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yang Sect, who recently held the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

And how long has it been since the Gu family was wiped out?

The lingering smell of alcohol from the Nascent Soul Ceremony hasn't even dissipated yet, and you turn around and tell me he's already reached the Divine Transformation stage?

Why don't you say he'll ascend to immortality tomorrow?

Before the major sects could refute the news, the message from the Crimson Cloud Sect came out first.

The Crimson Cloud Sect acknowledges its defeat in the Battle of Broken Cloud Mountains.

They retreated three thousand miles, ceded three spiritual veins, seven markets, and the sphere of influence of twenty-one affiliated sects.

Furthermore, the Crimson Cloud Sect has already dispatched a congratulatory delegation, led personally by a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, to the Profound Sun Sect to congratulate Daoist Gu on his attainment of the Dao and transformation into a Divine Being.

Everyone fell silent.

Has the Crimson Cloud Sect gone mad?

That's the Crimson Cloud Sect! Normally, if someone occupies even a mile of their territory, they'd fight for a hundred years.

Now they've retreated three thousand miles in one go?

They even sent someone to offer their congratulations?

You say Gu Changjin hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage? Who would believe that?

Immediately afterwards, the Western Extreme Luo Bai Sect also spoke out.

The Supreme Elder Bai Wujiu of the Luobai Sect personally testified.

Gu Daojun appeared in the Luoxia Mountains and personally killed the rogue cultivator Pei Xuandu, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, and took back the Gu family bloodline members Gu Qingxiao and Gu Xiaolou.

The Luo Bai Sect has prepared three Nascent Soul magic treasures, 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, and a number of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to go to the Xuan Yang Sect to congratulate the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

The Crimson Cloud Sect admitted defeat, while the Fallen White Sect admitted to being at the Nascent Soul stage.

With the two major sects speaking out at the same time, the remaining smaller sects, who were still preparing to argue, immediately swallowed their words.

Then, the entire Western Wilderness cultivation world was in complete uproar.

Inside the teahouse, a rogue monk slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"A thousand years! No new Nascent Soul cultivator has emerged in the Western Wilderness for a thousand years!"

In a small sect, the Golden Core sect leader searched through the warehouse overnight.

"Quick! See if there are any other presentable gifts we can give!"

"If we don't celebrate Gu Daojun's transformation into a Nascent Soul cultivator, do we even want to live in the Western Wilderness anymore?"

Inside the Demonic Sect, an old demon remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

"Don't provoke the Xuan Yang Sect. From today onwards, the mountain will be sealed off for a hundred years."

The name Gu Changjin was like a storm, blowing from the Broken Cloud Mountains to the Sunset Mountains, and then sweeping across the entire Western Wilderness.

Wherever he went, everyone had to bow their heads and re-understand one thing.

In the Western Wilderness, a new Dao Lord has arrived.

……

Xuan Yang Sect, Ling Yue Peak.

Zhou Xuanyue was sitting on the edge of the cliff, slowly sipping his spiritual tea.

The tea is Lingwu tea, which is three hundred years old, and the water is cold spring water from the back mountain.

After drinking a cup of tea, the mouth is filled with a refreshing fragrance, and even the nascent soul feels as if it has been cleansed.

Zhou Xuanyue was in a good mood.

Good news keeps coming from the Broken Cloud Mountains.

Gu Changjin was stationed at the front line, and although the fighting was somewhat strange, the benefit was that they actually won back the lost territory.

The Crimson Cloud Sect didn't really fight desperately either.

That would be best, since they all have some connections. If they really started fighting, the Western Wilderness would have been reduced to ruins long ago.

Zhou Xuanyue gently blew away the mist from the tea, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The situation within the sect is excellent!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a communication talisman shot through the air.

Zhou Xuanyue reached out and caught it, then scanned it with his divine sense.

A familiar laugh came from inside.

"Old Zhou, congratulations!"

"Your Xuan Yang Sect has kept this hidden for a long time, actually producing someone like Daojun Gu."

"Having attained the Dao and transformed into a Divine Being, your might now overwhelms the Broken Cloud Mountains. From now on, your Xuan Yang Sect will rise to even greater heights in the Western Wilderness!"

After hearing this, Zhou Xuanyue paused for a moment in his teacup.

Then he gave a cold laugh.

"Old Wang, you're trying to scam me again."

"After all these years, it's still the same old tricks."

He casually tossed the talisman aside, not taking it seriously at all.

This old guy is the Supreme Elder of the neighboring major sect. He used to like to deceive him with all sorts of false information when he was young.

There's a secret treasure somewhere, a female cultivator has feelings for him, and the Crimson Cloud Sect is planning a sneak attack on the Profound Sun Sect.

Are you still coming now?

Haha, how naive.

But not long after, another message talisman flew in.

Zhou Xuanyue frowned as he caught it.

Then another old friend's voice rang out.

"Brother Zhou, it is a cause for celebration that your esteemed sect's Daoist Gu has attained the Dao and transformed into a Divine Being."

"Our sect has prepared a small gift and will visit the Xuan Yang Sect in three days to offer our congratulations."

"At that time, I hope Brother Zhou can give me some recommendations."

Zhou Xuanyue frowned even more deeply.

Two? Arranged?

He snorted coldly and put the talisman down again.

"These old fogies, do they have nothing better to do?"

The next moment.

The third way.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

A flurry of communication talismans flew in as if possessed.

The content is all pretty much the same.

Congratulations to Xuan Yang Sect.

Congratulations to Gu Changjin on attaining the Dao and becoming a deity.

Zhou Xuanyue finally couldn't sit still any longer. He held his teacup, and the smile on his face froze.

"wrong."

"This is no joke."

Just then, several Nascent Soul auras descended simultaneously outside Lingyue Peak.

The Crimson-Robed Supreme, Qin Wenyue, and two other Nascent Soul Supremes who rarely appeared in public all transformed into streaks of light and fell to the ground.

The group didn't even bother with small talk.

The moment the red-robed Supreme Elder landed, his eyes widened.

"Zhou Xuanyue!"

"Did you receive the message?"

Zhou Xuanyue slowly put down his teacup.

"What news?"

The red-robed sage's lips moved slightly, as if he himself found it absurd.

"Gu Changjin".

"He...he broke through."

Zhou Xuanyue's face twitched.

"Breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage?"

"no."

"Nascent Soul Perfection?"

"No, not exactly."

The red-robed Supreme Elder took a deep breath.

"Transformation into a Divine Being".

The cliff edge fell silent.

Zhou Xuanyue's hand, which had picked up the teacup, paused in mid-air, causing the tea to sway slightly.

He stared at the red-robed Supreme Elder, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"What did you say?"

Qin Wenyue smiled bitterly.

"The Broken Cloud Mountains, a celestial phenomenon of divine transformation."

"Gu Changjin personally announced that today he has attained the Dao and transformed into a god, opening the Xuanming Guixu Cave Heaven."

"Li Chenyuan of the Crimson Cloud Sect personally admitted defeat and retreated three thousand miles."

"Bai Wujiu of the Luo Bai Sect also testified that Gu Changjin had gone to the Luoxia Mountains and killed Pei Xuandu."

Zhou Xuanyue opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He recalled Gu Changjin standing in the Supreme Hall not long ago, his face full of grief, saying that the Gu family was full of loyal martyrs.

Then another image flashed before my eyes: Gu Changjin at the Nascent Soul Ceremony, looking sickly and as if his foundation was not yet stable.

Finally, it all came down to one sentence.

This old thing, he's reached the Divine Realm?

The red-robed Supreme Elder also plopped down.

"All I want to know right now is..."

"When exactly did he start acting?"

Qin Wenyue said quietly, "Perhaps it will start with a death match at the Golden Core stage."

The several elders fell silent.

Doesn't that mean they were watching a future deity perform from beginning to end?

Zhou Xuanyue suddenly felt that the three-hundred-year-old Spirit Mist Tea in his hand had lost its flavor.

He looked up towards the main peak of the Xuan Yang Sect and murmured:

"This time, the sect is likely to undergo a major upheaval."

……

Xuan Yang Sect, a secret place in the back mountain.

The atmosphere inside the cave of True Monarch Cangxuan was frighteningly oppressive.

This man, who was originally the number one person in the Xuan Yang Sect and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, now had an extremely gloomy expression.

He once thought that, apart from the Nascent Soul Ancestor who had traveled far away along the ancient road to the Central Plains, he was the one who was closest to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Xuan Yang Sect.

Just half a step away.

He will be able to attain enlightenment when the time is right.

Gu Changjin?

In his eyes, it was nothing more than a somewhat troublesome pawn, but one that he could still crush at any time.

But now, this pawn has bypassed all sect resources and all supreme leaders' scrutiny, rising to prominence in one step.

Transformation into a deity.

It turned out that Gu Changjin was the first to reach the Divine Realm.

Cangxuan Zhenjun did not feel joy.

I only felt fear.

Gu Changjin rendered meritorious service to the sect.

He admitted and also set the tone for having the sect provide resources.

But that doesn't mean the grudge doesn't exist.

Yun Qingli is his disciple.

Gu Changjin crippled Yun Qingli.

Yun Qingli had reported the matter of the life-or-death battle to him before.

He acquiesced.

At that time, it was merely a golden elixir whose lifespan was about to end.

Once you're dead, you're dead.

Who cares?

But now, the Golden Core cultivator who was almost sent to his death has become a Nascent Soul Dao Lord.

This grudge can't be avoided.

Unless he bows his head, goes to see Gu Changjin in person, admits his mistake, and apologizes.

However, this is only a sliver of hope.

However, how could someone like True Lord Cangxuan possibly bow his head?

He was arrogant his whole life, and remained aloof and superior in the Xuan Yang Sect his entire life.

Now, is he supposed to bow down to Gu Changjin?

It would be better to kill him.

Extreme fear eventually breeds extreme madness.

Cangxuan Zhenjun's eyes gradually turned fierce.

"Gu Changjin".

"Since you might want to kill me."

"Then I shall strike first."

He vanished into the cave in a flash.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the most core and most secret forbidden area of ​​the Xuan Yang Sect.

There is only one ancient stone platform buried deep in the earth's veins.

The stone platform was covered with obscure array patterns.

This is the true foundation left by the founding patriarch of the Xuan Yang Sect.

Legend has it that when the Venerable Master of Returning to Emptiness was reclaiming the Western Wilderness, he buried a killing formation under the main peak's earth vein.

This formation is not for fighting enemies, but for burying and killing powerful enemies who have infiltrated the heart of the Xuan Yang Sect.

Once activated, the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles is instantly drained.

When the cultivator entered the formation, the grotto-heaven became unbalanced, and the primordial spirit was trapped.

Even a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, if unprepared, can quickly become a useless person unable to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

of course.

This formation has limited effect on physical cultivation.

But where in the Western Wilderness cultivation world could one find a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Cangxuan Zhenjun took out an ancient-looking token.

This is the core array command held by the Grand Supreme Elders throughout history.

He bit his fingertip and dripped his blood onto the token.

hum.

The patterns on the stone platform gradually lit up.

Deep within the earth's veins, it was as if a colossal beast, dormant for millennia, slowly opened its eyes.

The fear on Cangxuan Zhenjun's face finally subsided, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Gu Changjin".

"So what if you've reached the Divine Realm?"

"You have no grasp of the Xuan Yang Sect's true strength."

"As long as you dare to step into the main peak of Xuan Yang."

"I will use the Ancestral Master's Killing Formation to completely refine you."

He gripped the battle token tightly, his eyes filled with madness.

As long as Gu Changjin dares to come.

As long as he dares to force me to bow down.

Then don't blame yourself for fighting to the death.
