Comparison

Thinking of this, Chu Mu could not help but feel a headache coming on.

His focus had truly not been on this matter before. He had only concerned himself with understanding the path of Gu Cultivators and with the Thread-drawing Gu itself. As for these Gu Dao spirit materials, he had merely given them a cursory look, his attention entirely limited to the functions described and recorded in the Gu formula.

He had never considered what these Gu Dao spirit materials from ancient times had become within the current Gu Dao system.

After a long silence, Chu Mu slowly spoke. "Does our sect have any highly cultivated Gu Dao Cultivators in the southwest?"

"Or are there any local southwest cultivators deeply versed in the Gu Dao?"

"If we are speaking of our sect in the southwest, then there is only Li Daoyou. He is at the early third rank and should be our sect's most highly cultivated practitioner of the Gu Dao."

"As for the southwest itself, there are quite a few with profound Gu Dao cultivation. Gu Xuan Real Person and Gu Yun Fairy of the Southwest Merchant Alliance, Jing Hua Real Person of the Qiu Niu Merchant Guild..."

"They are all third-rank Gu Cultivators. As for fourth-rank Gu Cultivators..."

At that point, Yu Zecheng paused briefly before saying, "True Inheritor should know that there are currently no fourth-rank Gu Cultivators in the southwest cultivation world..."

Chu Mu smiled. Naturally, he knew that.

Rather than saying there were no fourth-rank Gu Cultivators in the southwest, it would be more accurate to say that throughout the Great Chu Cultivation Realm, within any territory ruled by the Longevity Sect, there could absolutely be no fourth-rank mighty figure outside the Longevity Sect.

Even if one existed, they could only be a passerby.
