Chapter 528: Get it back a hundred times?
Liu Ruiyuan and others came to the Wuliang River and headed downstream with their flying lights.
After a while, they arrived at the place where Gu Yuanqing and Li Chengyi were staying. Looking at the empty fishing platform, Liu Ruiyuan ordered: "Go ask around."
"Yes!" A cultivator who had suffered a natural disaster bowed slightly and left quickly.
In less than a cup of tea, he disappeared into thin air.
"how?"
"Senior Brother Liu, these two left here a day ago and went upstream. We still need to find out where they went."
Liu Ruiyuan stood on the fishing platform created by Gu Yuanqing's magic, and gently stroked the tables and chairs with his fingers, feeling the remaining breath. After a while, he finally said lightly: "Then either he went to the headquarters of the Huanling Sect, or he left the Wuliang River and went to the upper reaches first."
The group moved up quickly.
As a large sect, the Sanyang Sect had some forces deployed even by the Wuliang River. It didn't take long for him to find out that Gu Yuanqing, Li Chengyi and his group had come out of the teleportation array in the morning and just happened to pass by him and the others.
However, the teleportation array to Wuliang River is only opened in the early morning every day, so they had already missed the opportunity to chase after it.
At that moment, someone left the ancient world and passed on the message that another celestial being from the Sanyang Sect came to Dongyuan City to inquire about Gu Yuanqing's movements.
This man's name is Zhang Quan, and he has reached the second level of Heavenly Tribulation.
There were not many celestial beings passing through the teleportation array today, so it was easy to find out. He followed the direction of Gu Yuanqing's escape light, but before he flew far, a ray of sword light suddenly appeared from the clouds.
After a fight, Zhang Quan fled away cursing.
It was the Sword Demon Lu Chen again. Many people from the Sanyang Sect had fought against him. Although his cultivation strength with this split spirit was slightly higher, the Sword Demon Lu Chen's attack was to exchange his life for injury. If he wanted to win, he would still have to pay a price.
And even if we kill him, there is no point at all.
Lu Chen chased after him for a while, cursing as he did so: "Are all the people from the Sanyang Sect cowards? Isn't there any man who dares to fight me?"
Zhang Quan's face turned black, but he ignored it.
Twenty years ago, several great masters of the Sanyang Sect who had reached the third level of heavenly transformation took action to suppress the place where Lu Chen was resurrected.
However, he did not expect that Lu Chen had a very strong character. He directly used the magic circle to cause the spiritual veins to riot, causing the ancient artifact to explode and shatter, almost injuring the great cultivator of the Sanyang Sect who had reached the third level of heavenly transformation.
A month later, their base was restored and Lu Chen was reborn. He took revenge on Sanyang Sect like crazy. Whenever he saw that the situation was not right, he would self-destruct the world of heaven and man, giving no one a chance to suppress him.
This dispute lasted for nearly ten years and only came to an end in recent years. It can be said that no one in the Sanyang Sect wants to deal with this guy.
Once Zhang Quan was delayed by Lu Chen, he had no way of tracing the traces left by Gu Yuanqing.
There will be some traces left behind where the practitioners flew, but these traces will gradually disappear over time. By the time Liu Ruiyuan came over from the teleportation array the next day, it was too late.
"Senior Brother Liu, I will go back to the sect and call some people over to search around here. Maybe we can find some traces." Zhang Quan said.
"Forget it, there's not much point in searching like this. Let's have someone guard in front of the teleportation array and report immediately if they see anything. Unfortunately, since the celestial beings from the Qianyuan Realm are here, we could have a face-to-face chat, but now we can only wait and see." Liu Ruiyuan frowned.
"If you ask me, the people of Qianyuan Realm are too ungrateful. The celestial beings of my Sanyang Sect are willing to enter his realm to observe and comprehend the great Dao, which is a good fate with him. Such an opportunity is what many realms would love to have. Yet, his Qianyuan Realm dares to offer such a price, one Earth-grade Soul Medicine per year. It's really audacious. Does he think his Qianyuan Realm is an ancient realm?" Another celestial being of Sanyang Sect shook his head.
Liu Ruiyuan said: "A new realm must have some sharpness after all. If the rumors are true, this Gu Yuanqing was able to kill Yan Jin of the Shadow Cult and behead Chu Qianrui's ancient realm spirit. His strength is not weak, and he is considered a master in the entire Linglong Realm."
“Even if Yan Jin was killed, he died in the Qianyuan Realm. It’s not surprising since he has the realm order. As for Chu Qianrui, haha, the reason he was able to survive the three tribulations of the Heavenly Change was entirely because he obtained an ancient treasure that allowed him to fake his death and escape in the ancient realm. He went to the Linlang Realm when he survived the tribulation. His strength would only be known if he fought me, who has the second tribulation of the Heavenly Change, in a real life-and-death fight.” Zhang Quan’s tone carried a hint of disdain.
This is not surprising. Even if one has the same level of heavenly transformation, there are huge differences between them. The more powerful the realm, the harder it is to survive the heavenly tribulation. Similarly, after surviving the tribulation, one's cultivation will naturally be more powerful.
It is normal for the top realm and the last-ranked realm in Linglong Realm, who seem to be cultivators of the same level, to have a small realm difference in strength.
In addition to the large sect's martial arts foundation and magic weapons, although Zhang Quan only has the cultivation level of the second calamity of heavenly change, even after hearing what Gu Yuanqing did, he may not be too afraid in his heart.
Liu Ruiyuan said: "If it is outside, it is naturally nothing, but if it is in Qianyuan Realm, even I dare not be careless."
Zhang Quan nodded: "That's true. The cultivators who control the boundary orders are indeed very difficult to deal with in the boundary. Gu Yuanqing may have seen this clearly and dared to make such a request."
Liu Ruiyuan snorted and said, "If this matter is not related to Jianzi's cultivation, if it were my previous temper, if someone dared to make such an unreasonable request to my Sanyang Sect, I would have killed him long ago."
"Yes, Jianzi's cultivation is related to the future of our Sanyang Sect, more important than anything else."
The expressions of several celestial beings of Sanyang Sect were somewhat serious. The death of Pei Yutang almost cut off a hand of Sanyang Sect, so much so that the Sect Leader Baili Jinghong now did not dare to take the last step towards Yin and Yang.
Because once he died in the Yin-Yang Catastrophe, the Sanyang Sect would almost be completely broken.
The fact that there has been no major Yin-Yang overhaul for several generations has created many hidden dangers behind the Sanyang Sect's strength.
Once the older generation of Yin-Yang masters run out of lifespan and pass away, their peak strength will be disrupted, and the result is self-evident.
The former Wuchen Sect was the best example, as they almost had the Wanbing Valley of the ancient world taken away by someone.
At the moment, apart from Baili Jinghong, the last person who hopes to break through Yin and Yang is the swordsman Cen Pingshan who has just become a celestial being. Not only has he obtained the Pure Yang Sword and the Du'e Sword from the Sanyang Sect, he has also been recognized by the elders of the Taikoo Divine Sect.
All the resources of the Sanyang Sect were tilted towards him. For this reason, Liu Ruiyuan, an elder who had achieved the third level of Heavenly Change, also took action personally.
The people of Sanyang Sect searched for Gu Yuanqing in the ancient world for a long time but could not find him, so someone passed the news back to the sect’s headquarters.
……
In the Beiquan Cave, Li Chengyi regained consciousness, but did not open his eyes. Instead, he sat in meditation and practiced, so that what he had gained from the ancient world could become his own cultivation.
His aura was slowly rising. This was the Dao essence he obtained through his Dao Soul that gradually turned into the foundation of the Xutian World.
About three days later, Li Chengyi withdrew from his practice.
Gu Yuanqing threw a wine pot over and said, "This is Hongchen wine. Take a sip first."
Li Chengyi took it and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be necessary. I feel that this time refining the Dao Soul has not really affected my consciousness."
Gu Yuanqing said: "Drink less to avoid future troubles."
Li Chengyi had no choice but to take a sip. Then Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and a breath of air blew past him. Li Chengyi felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Yuanqing's mind moved, and Li Chengyi's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was lying on a bed.
One day, Li Chengyi woke up from a deep sleep and felt that the whole world was a little different. He walked out of the room and came to his father who was looking at the iron-eating beasts with great interest. He could feel that his father seemed to like these iron-eating beasts very much, and he was the same.
After a long while, Gu Yuanqing turned around and smiled, "How do you feel?"
Li Chengyi said: "There are many differences."
"Back then, I was just like you yesterday. I was completely unaware of the influence of the Dao Soul on myself." Gu Yuanqing said with a smile.
Li Chengyi said helplessly: However, next time dad makes a decision, you might as well tell me about it first.
Gu Yuanqing said: "Red Dust Wine itself is a good thing, and it is very useful for cultivation."
Li Chengyi suddenly frowned: "Red Dust Wine is good, but after all, there is only this one pot, I am afraid it is only enough for me. However, there are so many cultivators in Qianyuan Realm, and there will definitely be many cultivators in Xutian Realm in the future. How to deal with the defects of Dao Soul?"
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "An ordinary Xutian cultivator may not have the opportunity to refine a Xuan-level Dao Soul in a year, so it's naturally no big deal. Some large sects have Calming Pills and Soul Protecting Incense to assist in cultivation and weaken the influence of Dao Soul. It will be much better after reaching the Heavenly Man stage. Although the effect of Dao Soul will be weakened by the separation of spirit and entering the realm, it is much safer with this as isolation."
"Calming pills, soul-protecting incense?" Li Chengyi said to himself.
"Tianbao Commercial Bank should have it. Even if it doesn't have it in stock, there is a way."
"I know about this and will make a deal with Tianbao Commercial Bank in advance."
Gu Yuanqing nodded: "This time you have been in the ancient world for quite a while, and there are some things in the Qianyuan world that need your decision. It is just right that you can completely digest what you have gained from the ancient world and get rid of the residual influence of the Dao Soul during these days. You can leave the mountain now."
"Resign, kid!"
Li Chengyi left Beiquan Cave and returned to the Daqian Imperial Capital. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Queen Chen Binglan and the little fox Su Xuexin fighting in the back garden.
Chen Binglan was only at the divine level, so naturally she was no match for the little fox. The little fox easily blocked it without even using its bloodline abilities.
Li Chengyi was a little surprised that he had just left for a short time, and how come these two were walking together? He stepped down and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
The two, one big and one small, stopped immediately.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Chen Binglan said.
The surrounding palace maids all knelt down and bowed.
Only the little fox said in surprise: "Cheng Yi, you are back." Then, seeing the expressions of everyone else, she quickly followed their example and greeted them with women's etiquette.
"Everyone, get up." Li Chengyi said.
Chen Binglan came over with a smile on her face, saying, "I am asking Xin'er to teach me how to practice."
……
Half an hour later, Li Guanrong came hurriedly.
Li Chengyi summoned him into the imperial study and said unhappily, "Can't you let me have a good rest?"
Li Guanrong said aggrievedly, "Father, you have been resting for several months, and I am the one who has been very busy. I have lost dozens of pounds in the past few months. Father, you see, the Crown Prince's clothes have become a little bigger."
Li Chengyi nodded and said, "This prince's uniform doesn't fit you very well. How about this, I'll give you my emperor's uniform instead."
Li Guanrong was horrified and took a few steps back: "No, no, I think this dress fits me well at the moment."
Li Chengyi said, "Tell me, what's going on? If there was nothing, you wouldn't have come up to me right now."
"Father, what are you saying? I can't bear not seeing you for so long. I miss you so much..."
"You don't want to tell me, right? Well, I just need to practice in seclusion these few days."
"The Sanyang Sect sent a message through Tianbao Trading Company saying that they want to discuss with our Daqian Dynasty the matter of the celestial beings entering the world, whether it is in our Qianyuan World or Ziyou World." Li Guanrong hurriedly got to the point.
Li Chengyi asked in surprise: "A celestial being has entered the realm?"
"My father has entered the ancient world and has not yet come out. I discussed with my great-grandfather and great-grandfather and reported to you. You said..." Li Guanrong recounted the whole story.
Li Chengyi said: "Since it is your grandfather's decision, there is nothing to discuss, just do it."
Li Guanrong was somewhat surprised at Li Chengyi's calmness, and tentatively said, "Father, the Sanyang Sect is the third-ranked sect in Linglong Realm, with countless celestial masters. If this is the case, will it cause trouble?"
How could Li Chengyi not know what his son was thinking? He glanced at him and said, "Just do it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Otherwise, don't ask me. Just make your own decision."
Li Guanrong bowed with a dark face and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Anything else?"
"It's gone for now."
"Then stand down."
……
Three Yang Realm.
Lingyuan Mountains, on the main peak.
"Greetings, Master!" Cen Pingshan bowed. His eyebrows were slanted like swords, and his eyes were like cold stars. He wore a plain white robe and an orange-yellow belt around his waist. The cuffs and belt were embroidered with sunray patterns outlined in gold thread.
Baili Jinghong looked down at the white clouds in the mountains and said calmly, "Tomorrow you will set off for Qianyuan Realm and go to the edge of Qianyuan Realm to observe the way of the birth and transformation of heaven and earth. I will let Elder Liu accompany you to protect you."
Cen Pingshan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Master, are you going to accept Qianyuan Realm's conditions? If so, I would rather not go."
Baili Jinghong turned around and smiled, "Put more emphasis on cultivation. You have just returned from the ancient world and have broken through to the heavenly realm. It is important for you to comprehend the changes in the great way of the new world at this time. This will have a great effect on the nourishment of your heavenly realm. My Sanyang Sect can still provide one lower-grade and upper-grade earth-level soul medicine per year. Don't lose the big picture for the small."
Cen Pingshan said in a deep voice: "Disciple naturally knows that this little bit of soul medicine is nothing to my Sanyang Sect, but in a mere Qianyuan Realm, there is only one new world of celestial beings, and just to observe the Great Dao, there is no need for his Qianyuan Realm to pay anything. Yet, he dares to propose such a condition to my Sanyang Sect. I think it is clear that he is using my Sanyang Sect to enhance his own prestige."
Baili Jinghong said calmly: "Since they dare to ask for something, we will naturally get it back a hundred times in the future. Disciple, the way of cultivation lies in the long run, don't worry about the gains and losses of the moment."
