The Beginning of Chaos in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains
Kuang Tongyi sighed, "This matter isn't urgent. If you have nothing else to do, you can wait here with me."
Seeing Kuang Tongyi's expression, Li Shi'an knew that something must have happened. He looked up and saw Ji Qingyun sitting cross-legged on the top of the tower. He had some guesses in his heart, but these guesses seemed a bit unbelievable.
The Li Family had a relationship with the Lingxu Sect, so they knew more about it and were naturally aware of the power of the Lingxu Sect and Ji Qingyun.
However, they haven't managed to subdue Gu Yuanqing for the time being?
Time passed slowly, and Ji Qingyun remained seated atop the tower.
He was now in a difficult position.
The Lingxu Sect Oversight this realm, and he is the Lingxu Sect's leader. If he hadn't taken action, it would have been fine, but now that he has, he can't even defeat a young man who is only twenty years old. It would truly be a laughing stock.
Considering his Divine Platform cultivation level, his ability to Supervision a realm for five hundred years, and his possession of powerful treasures, he couldn't even suppress a mere person from the Floating World. If this were reported back to the Sect in the Upper Realm, it would at least be considered a case of inadequate Supervision.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. But if this got into the Cultivation World, not only him, but the entire Lingxu Sect would probably be ridiculed.
How will the Sect view him then?
Moreover, he had already relayed the news of the upheaval in the Floating World back to his Sect, and the Sect had ordered him to thoroughly investigate the cause.
The strangeness here may be related to the cessation of the Floating World Ancient Array. He originally intended to capture Gu Yuanqing first, but who would have thought it would turn out like this.
All sorts of thoughts swirled in his mind, making him feel uneasy, and he knew he couldn't just give up now.
He wanted to see how long this Mountain Array Formation could last!
One day, two days, three days... time kept passing.
The area outside North Spring Mountain was originally quite peaceful, but this tall tower, reaching straight into the clouds, was too conspicuous and could be seen from dozens of miles away.
Within days, the news had spread everywhere.
People in the Martial World love watching a spectacle, and what better way to prevent someone from being curious about something that seems almost miraculous?
In an instant, crowds gathered outside Martial World North Spring Mountain, Rogue Cultivator and members of various sects who had heard the news.
The Imperial Court dispatched the Imperial Guard to guard the area outside the mountains, but they still couldn't stop certain people.
Sword Saint Qin Wuya stood atop Dangling Goose Mountain, his Grandmaster aura radiating outwards, and coldly declared, "Those who trespass will be killed without mercy."
The Imperial Court Imperial Guard also formed a formidable military formation, their imposing aura soaring to the heavens, which finally intimidated the group of Martial World practitioners.
Two days later, the Lingxu Sect received the news and rushed over, with Sect Leader Gong Daoxian coming in person.
Upon hearing the news, the old man in Hemp Robe Ji Dai, also arrived outside North Spring Mountain. As Dao Fire Realm Cultivator, he naturally had the right to enter.
However, no one got too close. Although the aura of the Sky Burning Tower was mostly contained, the occasional leaks of its Qi were still too much for ordinary people to bear.
Kuang Tongyi's thoughts became increasingly complicated, and his brows furrowed frequently. More than ten days had passed, but the battle between the patriarch and Gu Yuanqing was still undecided, and he had no idea in which direction this battle would develop.
Compared to the bustling scene outside the tower.
The area around North Spring Mountain is much quieter.
Aunt Feng had grown accustomed to the blue Flame outside the mountain all day long and resumed her old habits. Besides washing clothes, cooking, tilling the land, and weeding, she would occasionally pick up her long knife and practice her Blade Technique.
With Gu Yuanqing's guidance, her Blade Technique had become quite impressive.
Beasts cannot leave the Mountain, and birds dare not fly high, for about fifty feet above their heads are raging Flame.
Fortunately, the Mountain are rich in Spiritual Qi, and most animals have no shortage of food. However, a few birds of prey couldn't resist attacking the animals in the mountains.
Besides wanting to eat, it was also because they had too much energy and nowhere to expend it.
Even if Gu Yuanqing occasionally tried to stop him, it was to no avail.
The wild animals that were initially fished up from the Demon Realm finally came in handy. After being cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Pool some time ago, their Demonic Qi had finally dissipated.
Gu Yuanqing then slaughtered them for his own use, while throwing most of them to the wild beasts and birds of prey in the Mountain to alleviate their food shortage.
Only then did he recall the white fox he had caught a few days earlier.
He rolled it up from the Heaven and Earth Pool, holding it by the scruff of its neck and examining it closely.
The Demonic Qi on its body had dissipated considerably, and the red light in its eyes seemed to have faded somewhat. When it saw Gu Yuanqing, fear immediately appeared in its eyes. It tucked its hind legs into its body, bared its front paws, and made threatening noises to cover up its inner panic.
Gu Yuanqing stroked the soft fox tail and smiled, "It does have some Spirituality, unlike the prey from a while ago. However, the Demonic Qi hasn't been completely dispelled yet, so let it stay in the Heaven and Earth Pool for a few more days."
After saying that, Gu Yuanqing threw it back into the Heaven and Earth Pool.
Apart from these, the Mountain are not much different from usual.
Unable to break the blockade, Gu Yuanqing focused most of his attention on cultivating his skills in Mountain Observation and Object Control, using these methods to hone his abilities.
Under the Outer Realm pressure, new understandings emerge every moment.
Especially in the first few days, I felt that the progress I made in one day was equivalent to more than ten days of practice in the past.
These insights were quickly translated into methods, making it much Ruyi for him to defend against attacks from Divergent Flame.
Gradually, he developed an instinct to resist the attacks of the Sky Burning Tower, requiring almost no conscious effort.
Only then did he turn his attention to other aspects of his cultivation.
The breakthrough Cultivation Method for the Heavenly Dao Zen Heart Art to the Dao Fire Realm is nearing perfection, with the Nine Nether Purgatory Scripture contributing the most to this.
This first volume is a cultivation method that can directly lead to the Divine Platform Realm. Its profoundness is far beyond any Cultivation Method he knew before. After experiencing the last evolution at Spirit Mountain, Gu Yuanqing's comprehension and aptitude have both improved.
Empowerment unparalleled comprehension, inspiration flowed freely in his heart. Furthermore, with the already perfect Nine Nether Purgatory Scripture guidance, this Heavenly Dao Zen Heart Art was now also pointing directly to the Divine Platform Realm.
Every day, he still spends some time Heavenly Fishing.
The Sky Burning Tower isolates the inside from the outside, but it has no effect on the Fishing Platform.
Gu Yuanqing could still use the Cloudmist to fish for prey in the Demon Realm, and he threw all of these prey into the Heaven and Earth Pool.
Thinking to himself, if the Sky Burning Tower remained sealed off for too long, these prey could be used to sustain the life of the creatures in the Mountain.
Occasionally, if he encounters an animal that seems to have a bit of Spirituality, he might glance at it a little longer, but he doesn't pay much attention to it and simply tosses it into the Heaven and Earth Pool.
For example, today, they actually caught a Little Tiger. It wasn't very big, but it was fiercely cute. Even though Gu Yuanqing pinned it down and it couldn't move, it still growled with a fierce look in its eyes.
Gu Yuanqing found it adorable, stroked it a couple of times, and then tossed it into the Heaven and Earth Pool.
Unbeknownst to him, as prey was caught one by one, chaos had already broken out within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Demon Realm.
Several young beasts of extraordinary origin mysteriously disappeared within its cave.
Slowly, a rumor began to circulate that there was a Spirit Fruit within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains that appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly. Anyone who couldn't resist eating it would be pulled into the Void and vanish without a trace.
Today, the Mountain Lord of Tiger King Mountain stands atop the peak, roaring furiously, "If I ever find out who you are, I will tear you to pieces!"
Inside Sky Fox Mountain, a beautiful woman dressed in white gauze, her six tails slightly raised, sneered, "That old geezer couldn't keep an eye on his Tiger Cub either; he was even mocking me the other day."
