Chapter 126 If you want to talk, let’s go into the mountains!
"No, I must return to Lingxu Gate immediately." Kuang Tongyi's heart skipped a beat. This was no small matter. He didn't care about staying in Da Zhou anymore. He gave up all his previous plans and turned to head towards Guixu Island.
After taking a few steps, he felt the Burning Heaven Tower on his body tremble slightly, then it broke free from his control and flew out into the air.
"This……"
Kuang Tongyi's expression changed, and then he suddenly thought of something: "Either the ancestor has returned, or someone from the upper realm has come, otherwise it would be impossible to take the Burning Heaven Tower from me."
In Lingxu Palace, Zhang Xuanlin practiced the spiritual spell. He could feel the Burning Heaven Tower flying towards him quickly, but he had no sense of the Tianmen Order and the Hun Tian Rope at all.
He frowned slightly: "Have these two treasures fallen into the hands of the enemy?"
While he was thinking, an old man in Taoist robes with white hair and beard hurried into the hall. He had Taoist fire burning on his body. He stared at Zhang Xuanlin in the hall and shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why did you trespass into Lingxu Gate?"
His name is Qi Qianli. There are Daohuo realm cultivators in Lingxu Sect. He is the oldest, so he is the one to stay in the mountain to prevent any accidents.
Zhang Xuanlin would not make things difficult for his disciples. He smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. I am not your enemy. If Ji Qingyun were here, he would call me his master."
The invisible energy spread out, and Qi Qianli immediately felt the pure energy of the Lingxu Sect from the man in front of him.
……
In Beiquan Mountain.
Gu Yuan sank into the mountain. On one side was endless demonic energy, and on the other side was a barren, fragile space.
The two feelings of separation formed an indescribable contrast in Gu Yuanqing's heart, as if his consciousness was also divided into two worlds along with Beiquan Mountain.
He tried his best to maintain this state, trying to find the elusive mystery in it.
By corroborating this ray of Taoism with the ray of space art he had learned from sky fishing, new feelings would always arise in his heart at every moment.
In this state, Gu Yuanqing felt that his mind was undergoing a wonderful change. He became more and more sensitive to space, especially in the floating world. This feeling became clearer and he could vaguely feel the changes in this space after being under tremendous pressure.
Gu Yuanqing realized in his heart that perhaps in order to comprehend the secrets of this space, he still needed the help of the floating world.
In the Demon Realm, the space is too stable. Even if one uses the Sky Fishing method, the fluctuations in the space are still difficult to perceive. Only in the Floating Realm, one only needs the power of the Divine Platform Realm to crush the space.
Gu Yuanqing intended to carefully experience the changes in space when the floating world space was about to break.
……
There is no time for cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed.
If it weren't for the red moon rising every night, the giant beasts occasionally flying outside, and the hot-tempered people who would fight at the slightest disagreement, Gu Yuanqing would have almost forgotten that this was the demon world.
Beiquan Mountain has a weak presence here.
Those who are weak cannot touch Beiquan Mountain at all, and those who are strong and intelligent will not touch an existence whose details they cannot understand for no reason.
Or perhaps they had seen Gu Yuanqing's fight with Lan Tinglie that day and knew that he was not someone to be trifled with. At least over the past few days, the surrounding giant beasts seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Beiquan Mountain.
Regardless, Gu Yuanqing was happy to have some peace and quiet, which was a good opportunity for him to devote himself to cultivation.
Although the progress of his cultivation at this time was not as fast as when he had just broken through the Dao Fire Realm, in a short period of time, he had completed the tempering of his body and mind and entered the middle stage of the Dao Fire Realm.
One day, a white cloud floated in the sky, and a fat bronze gong statue stood on the cloud. With a clang, it woke Gu Yuanqing up.
"The ancestor said that the human race must also pay rent. As long as you have condensed the magic energy, developed spiritual intelligence, and awakened your soul, you must pay rent within our territory." It said in a muffled voice.
Gu Yuanqing didn't expect it to actually ask. It looked so silly that he couldn't get angry. It was just that there was no way to pay the rent, and there was nothing to pay. This tribe didn't want anything except bamboo. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then have you asked the ancestor how much I have to pay in my situation? According to the rules of your Iron-eating Tribe, every hundred miles of land requires a thousand kilograms of magic bamboo to be paid every year. You see, I haven't occupied your land, so how should it be calculated?"
The Great Venerable Tongluo was stunned. He had not thought about this question. He thought for a moment and said, "The area nearby has not been rented out yet. Otherwise, this hundred-li area will belong to you. You just need to give me a thousand kilograms of magic bamboo."
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "There are only two of us here, so what can we do with the wide land? I usually stay in my own mountain and don't go out. Why don't you go back and ask?"
It was very hesitant.
Gu Yuanqing smiled again and said, "I know that you Iron Eaters are the most disciplined. You can't mess up the rules. Otherwise, if such a large area becomes a mess, how will you collect rent?"
Hearing this, the Great Venerable Tongluo nodded in agreement: "That's right, the ancestor said that we, the Iron Eaters, are not as cunning as you humans, so we must follow the rules in everything, otherwise we will suffer losses."
It was the first time that Gu Yuanqing was called cunning in front of him. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he said like he was persuading a child: "Why don't you go back and ask again?" "Okay, then I'll ask again." The Bronze Luo Great Zun nodded.
After saying that, it rode away on the clouds. Even though it didn't look very smart, its ability to fly in the air and ride on the clouds was extremely proficient. Although its specific strength could not be judged, judging from the aura it emitted, it was probably stronger than Lan Tinglie!
Watching it go away, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said to himself, "It's quite interesting."
There has been no movement for a long time since I left. It seems that this tribe is very slow-tempered.
Gu Yuanqing was also happy about this. With each passing day, he would become more confident in dealing with changes. However, what he did not expect was that instead of waiting for the Iron-Eating Clan, he waited for the Lingxu Clan.
On a mountain in the Guiyun Mountains, dozens of miles away from Beiquan Mountain.
"Master, Beiquan Mountain is there, but it seems to be covered by clouds and fog, and the scenery in the mountain cannot be seen clearly." Kuang Tongyi pointed to the distance. He rushed back from Da Zhou and found out that it was the master of the upper realm who came in person. For a moment, all the people in the Lingxu Sect felt relieved.
Zhang Xuanlin stared into the distance, then looked at the surrounding terrain, and wondered, "That place is not a place with earth veins and earth energy, how can such a sacred mountain be born? I see that there is spiritual energy in the hundreds of miles around, and it should all come from this Beiquan Mountain. I have never heard of such a thing in the many floating worlds."
Kuang Tongyi nodded and said, "That day, Patriarch Ji also mentioned this matter. The spiritual energy of Beiquan Mountain is indeed a bit strange. But before we could find out the reason, the ancestor suddenly disappeared. We thought he went to the upper realm, but now it seems that it is not that simple."
Zhang Xuanlin said: "Although the Lingxu Sect in this world is only an outer sect, they are still considered members of the Lingxu Sect after all. How could the sect abandon them?"
"It's the juniors and others who are just imagining things."
"It's not your fault. Ji Qingyun suddenly disappeared, and the Tianmen Order disappeared with him. You also lost the way to contact the upper realm, and faced such a big event, which is why you are like this."
"Thank you, Sect Master, for your understanding. We are deeply honored that you have come to the Floating World in person. With you here, everything can be settled." Kuang Tongyi said with a bow. He had learned some news about the sects in the upper realm from Ji Qingyun, so he naturally knew what Zhang Xuanlin meant.
"Let's go and take a look. We want to see what's so mysterious about this place!"
The two of them floated down and headed straight for Beiquan Mountain.
The two of them were both at the Dao Fire Realm, and they stood out among the ordinary people around them. When they entered the 20-li area, Gu Yuanqing had already noticed them.
He frowned slightly: "What are the people from Lingxu Sect doing here again? Kuang Tongyi is always half a step behind this person, which means that the status of this middle-aged man in front is much higher than his."
"Master, the spiritual energy here is much richer than it was two months ago." Kuang Tongyi was a little surprised.
"The spiritual energy here is almost the same as that of ordinary areas in the upper realm. I have only heard of the spirit gathering formation, which blocks the earth veins and gathers the surrounding spiritual energy for cultivation, but I have never heard of using a mountain to supply the surrounding hundreds of miles in radius."
Zhang Xuanlin said this and suddenly smiled: "Since you have sensed our arrival, why don't you come out and have a chat?"
Gu Yuanqing heard from afar, his tone was icy: "Kuang Tongyi, I told you that day when I let you go, if you dare to come to Lingxu Sect again, don't blame me for being merciless."
Kuang Tongyi looked embarrassed, and he bowed towards Beiquan Mountain and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, please don't be angry. This is my sect's senior. I came here just to ask Grandmaster Ji Qingyun some questions."
Gu Yuanqing said indifferently: "I don't care who you are, Beiquan Mountain does not welcome you. If you want to move forward, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhang Xuanlin smiled calmly: "My friend, why do you have to keep people at a distance? Some things can only be resolved through discussion."
Gu Yuanqing could feel that there was something strange about this man. At first glance, he was clearly at the Dao Fire Realm, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was different from those at the Dao Fire Realm. He couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, but he just felt that he was more dangerous!
He was called a senior of the sect by Kuang Tongyi. Could it be that this person came from the world of cultivation, but just suppressed his cultivation?
Gu Yuanqing was a little apprehensive. According to Ji Qingyun, if anyone from the cultivation world wanted to come down, they would most likely be the spiritual clones of powerful people in the Heavenly Man Realm, and the person in front of him was most likely such a person.
Gu Yuanqing sneered: "You Lingxu Sect always talk, but the talks are nothing more than fighting the young and the old, endlessly. You have more people, so it doesn't matter. But I don't have so much leisure time to play with you like this."
Zhang Xuanlin also heard Kuang Tongyi talk about the previous dispute between him and Gu Yuanqing. From the perspective of Lingxu Sect, there was nothing wrong with it. The only mistake was that he was not as skilled as others and he did not keep his promise, which gave people a chance to criticize him.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend. This should be the last time."
Gu Yuanqing sneered, "The last time? Well, if you really want to talk, fine, then let's go into Beiquan Mountain to talk. This way, you can show off the spirit of your Lingxu Sect, a great sect!"
Kuang Tongyi's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak in a low voice.
Zhang Xuanlin had already reached out his hand to stop him, and replied with a smile, "Okay! I'll go up the mountain and talk to you."
Thanks to Ilian and Boss Blake for the reward!
It is great that everyone can subscribe to support us. I feel ashamed to accept rewards.
I also want to be like other authors and say that I will add more chapters if I have a leader, or if I have a monthly ticket, but I dare not set a flag casually. It is true that my writing speed is not very good. I have tried my best to write more than 6000 words a day~
