The battle between Gu Ao and Wu Ling had stunned the cultivators across the entire God Realm. They had never expected Gu Ao and the Gu Family's Void Secret Technique to be so powerful. It also led Fairy Sword Ji and the others to believe that major powers like Huan Xin Pavilion and Thorn Alliance possessed formidable sect-guarding secret techniques of their own—techniques they had never heard of.
That was right. Though the cultivation arts and secret techniques of the God Realm's major sects had circulated throughout the realm, and some of them were even top-tier, those techniques had been obtained by capturing the sects' elite disciples. They were by no means all the arts and secret techniques those sects possessed. Their sect-guarding arts, for example, had never been shared with outsiders. So even Ling Tian and the others had no idea what powerful cultivation arts those sects might have.
Of course, even if they knew about those techniques, they still wouldn't know what effects they could produce when cultivated to the utmost. Before this, for instance, no one had known that the Gu Family's Void Secret Technique could possess such power and effects. That was why Fairy Sword Ji believed they couldn't afford to underestimate Fairy Huan Cai and the others.
Ling Yu, however, wasn't concerned. He thought a large part of the reason Gu Ao was so powerful—and had given Wu Ling such a hard time—was that he had cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique and reversed his golden core three times. Fairy Huan Cai and the others hadn't cultivated that technique.
It made sense. After cultivating the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique and reversing his golden core three times, the Divine Yuan Power inside Gu Ao had become incomparably pure, greatly increasing the power of any secret technique
