Sky Burning Tower

Ji Qingyun naturally wouldn't go into the mountain. He said calmly, "Since Daoist Friend don't trust me, then so be it. However, I don't like to talk to people with my head held high."

As he spoke, a Qingfeng lifted him up, and he floated up with his hands behind his back, arriving at eye level with Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing used the Mountain-Contemplation Method to look at the Cloudmist, and could only see the mysterious flow of Qi. Ji Qingyun seemed as light as a feather.

This is clearly not something that someone at the Dao Fire Realm can do. Although Gu Yuanqing himself could briefly levitate in the North Spring Mountain using the Object Control Power, he still ultimately had to rely on external objects and could not compare to this, nor could he achieve such effortless ease.

This person is undoubtedly at the Divine Platform Realm!

Kuang Tongyi, standing at the foot of the mountain, looked on with admiration, wondering if he would ever reach that level in his lifetime.

In the distance, Zhang Zhuo and the other members of the Imperial Guard stood in the camp watching from afar, their expressions filled with astonishment and shock. They could barely be considered Cultivator, and they had some knowledge of the art of flying from the ground, which was clearly a technique of immortals.

Gu Yuanqing was on guard. The Divine Platform Cultivator was two major realms below him, and he didn't know what kind of methods the other party might have. If he fell into the other party's trap in these Mountain, he would make a fool of himself.

The power of the Mountain-Viewing Object Control Empowerment simultaneously, and an invisible Qi swirled around him. If anything went wrong, he could command the power of North Spring Mountain to fight back.

"Speak, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Yuanqing asked calmly, his expression remaining impassive.

"Two members of my Lingxu Sect died at your hands. Don't you want to say something and give an explanation?" Ji Qingyun looked at Gu Yuanqing. Even though his Divine Sense couldn't enter Within North Spring Mountain, he could still sense the power brewing in the Mountain with his mind. This power posed a subtle threat to him.

"What explanation do you have? It's perfectly normal for people in the Martial World to die in the Martial World. Since you dared to come to North Spring Mountain and make a move, you should have been prepared to be killed. What do you say, senior?"

Ji Qingyun nodded and said, "That's true. However, as the Supreme Elder of the Lingxu Sect, it's not unreasonable for me to seek justice for the younger generation of the sect, is it?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly, "Then what kind of explanation would you like, senior?"

Ji Qingyun slowly said, "The Hun Tian Rope belongs to my Lingxu Sect, and you must return it; you must personally return the remains of these two people; thirdly, I will not make things difficult for you. Out of respect for the dead, you will keep vigil for them for three days. What do you say?"

"Keep vigil?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and reached out his hand, whereupon a rope flew into his grasp from inside the courtyard.

"Is this the Hun Tian Rope you mentioned? If you want it, come and get it yourself. Those two are buried at the foot of the mountain. If you want to take them back to Lingxu Mountain, then go and dig them up yourself. As for guarding the spirits, I'm afraid those two can't handle it. If they're scared out of their wits by me in the Wrongful Death City, I can't bear that responsibility. Your Lingxu Sect has many people and great power, so you can guard them slowly."

Ji Qingyun glanced down at Kuang Tongyi and sighed, "I originally listened to Tongyi's words and pitied your talent, not wanting to antagonize you. It seems that I have no choice but to fight you now." He secretly made Spirit Seal with his hands behind his back, trying to summon the Hun Tian Rope, but no matter what he did, there was no sound.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Kuang Tongyi's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, "In the end, you just want an excuse to make a move!"

Ji Qingyun did not deny it, nodding and saying, "Since the Lingxu Sect Oversight this realm and maintaining its order, its actions should be in accordance with the rules."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanqing's face showed a mocking expression. "Oversight? Rules? I've also heard that those Beyond Grandmaster level cannot act without authorization. Zuo Qiu committed atrocities in the Great Qian Dynasty, killing 100,000 people, yet your Lingxu Sect didn't come out to stop him. Now you're telling me you're in charge of the order of this realm? Isn't that utterly ridiculous?"

Ji Qingyun said calmly, "Zuo Qiu is Trial People. As long as his actions do not cross the line and endanger the safety of this realm, our Lingxu Sect naturally cannot intervene."

Gu Yuanqing scoffed. "In the end, it's just that he has powerful backers, which your Lingxu Sect can't touch. He can only bully people like me."

"What you think, Daoist Friend, is none of my business, but rules are rules, and they cannot be transgressed."

Gu Yuanqing composed himself and nodded, saying, "That's true. In any world, the rules are set by the strong, and no matter how reasonable they are, they are useless."

This world is weak and barren; without the strong, it is naturally at the mercy of others.

As you said, we've already had a match. If you win, you're the butcher and I'm the fish on the chopping block, completely at your mercy; if you lose, well, good luck to you!

"Daoist Friend, your confidence stems from your reliance on the Mountain's Array Formation. However, you must understand that there are always people more powerful than you, and Outer Heavens. No matter how strong Array Formation, it is not omnipotent. It depends on who wields it and where it stands. Further discussion is pointless. It's just a pity about this sacred Spirit Mountain; perhaps this world will soon have another place sealed."

As he spoke, a small, Exquisite Seven-Story Pagoda floated in Ji Qingyun's palm. He tossed it up, made a hand Spirit Formula, and chanted True Word. The Seven-Story Pagoda flew into the air, growing to a height of several hundred feet, enveloping the entire North Spring Mountain.

Kuang Tongyi let out a long sigh of helplessness; what he had feared had come to pass.

This tower is the Sky Burning Tower, and together with the Hun Tian Rope and the Heaven Gate Token, these Three Treasures are the foundational items used by the Lingxu Sect to suppress the essence of this realm.

The Hun Tian Rope can capture anything, but for some reason, Feng Zhong lost his grip and it fell into Gu Yuanqing's hands.

The Heaven Gate Token can open the Heavenly Gate, draw in Spiritual Qi, aid in cultivation, isolate auras, suppress Space Rift, and imprint seals.

The Burning Heaven Tower contains a strange fire that can burn everything. Even if it takes a day, it can take a hundred days or a thousand days. No matter what kind of formation is in this mountain, it probably won't be able to withstand the refinement of the strange fire!

This tower consumes the most True Essence to activate. If he were to use it, he would have to use the Dao Embryo Essence Blood to barely activate it. However, the ancestor is Cultivator at the Divine Platform Realm and has been refining this tower for hundreds of years, so he can easily activate it.

The Imperial Guard stared wide-eyed at the scene. The battle at the Dao Fire Realm a few months ago had already seemed unbelievable to them, but what they were seeing now was completely beyond their imagination.

Zhang Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. This time, Young Master Gu was likely doomed. He needed to get the news to the palace as soon as possible, but even if the Imperial Court came, they would probably be powerless. What could a mortal Imperial Court do against such a Immortal Law Treasure and immortal techniques?

Gu Yuanqing never expected Ji Qingyun to use such methods; compared to this, any fight she had encountered before was insignificant.

He struck Ji Qingyun with a palm strike from afar, and the Green Mountain Phantom pressed down.

Ji Qingyun raised his palm to block, but he couldn't withstand it. His expression changed, the Qi surrounding him was dispelled, and he crashed to the ground like a meteor.

However, Gu Yuanqing had no time to continue the pursuit. The giant tower above his head remained unaffected, blotting out the sky and quickly descending.

He used the power of North Spring Mountain to strike upwards repeatedly, but the tower only emitted a blue light and remained unmoved, suppressing the entire North Spring Mountain within moments.

Then, clusters of blue Flame roared up from all directions, illuminating the entire Heaven and Earth!
