Breaking through to the Dao Fire Realm

Gong Daoxian went down the tower.

Kuang Tongyi looked up at the Horizon, and a possibility came to mind: Ji Qingyun had a guiding talisman, and only Sect from the Upper Realm could take him away silently.

However, even if the patriarch were to leave, he would at least have given him some instructions and left behind the Heaven Gate Token.

This token is used for communication between the Sect in the Upper Realm and those in the Floating World, and it can also be used to condense Guiding Talisman Seal.

Now that the Heaven Gate Token has also disappeared along with the Ancestor, does this mean that the Sect of the Upper Realm have abandoned this realm?

But this is too important to speak of without certainty.

This also relates to the changes in this Floating World, and he dares not speak recklessly now, for if it gets out, the world will likely be thrown into turmoil again.

Furthermore, one thing that doesn't make sense is that if the Sect of the Upper Realm truly intended to abandon this realm, why wouldn't the patriarch take the Sky Burning Tower with him when he left?

Or... did this tower remain because the Lingxu Sect of this realm left behind some reserves to withstand unforeseen events?

In an instant, too many speculations surfaced in my mind.

Li Shi'an, Ji Dai, and the others also sensed something was wrong, and when they exchanged glances, they all saw the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Gu Yuanqing awoke from his cultivation a day later.

The Transformation of his entire body had slowed down, and a drop of Essence Blood within the Dao Embryo condensed at its core.

This is the culmination of his entire being's Vital Essence, and spirit.

The Physical Body, tempered through rigorous training, possesses formidable power in every muscle and fascia, while the bones within gleam with a jade-like luster.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the world was different again; he could almost see the hidden principles and truths within it.

He stood up, feeling his body, which was completely different from before. Every movement he made carried Dao Resonance, as if the slightest movement possessed immense power.

"Young master, you're awake?"

These past few days, Aunt Feng has been guarding the area except for eating, drinking, and relieving herself. She has also practiced cultivation and knows that one should not be disturbed during cultivation, so Protector from the side. When she saw Gu Yuanqing looking over, she took two steps forward, stuck the knife in her hand into the ground, and gestured repeatedly.

Gu Yuanqing saw all of this. Although Aunt Feng's Protector was useless to him, he could feel her good intentions. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt. I just broke through in my cultivation. It's nothing serious. You must be tired. Go back and rest."

After persuading Aunt Feng to leave, he looked up at the sky. The Flame of the Sky Burning Tower were no longer a threat, and he had grown tired of seeing such a sight for more than ten days.

"It's a good opportunity to test how my ability to Object Control changes after breaking through to a higher realm."

With a thought, Dao Fire rose, and the North Spring Mountain Phantom appeared around his body, rapidly expanding until it finally merged with the real North Spring Mountain.

The feeling of Man-Mountain Unity with North Spring Mountain returned, and his ability to Mountain Observation quickly broke through the limitations of the Sky Burning Tower. Images within a twenty-mile radius Outer Realm clearly appeared in his mind, and he also saw Kuang Tongyi sitting cross-legged on the top of the tower.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm as he slowly extended his hand. The entire North Spring Mountain trembled slightly, as if gathering power in accordance with his thoughts.

He raised his hand and suddenly swung it upwards.

A powerful aura condensed and transformed into a giant hand that pressed upwards.

With a loud crash, the Sky Burning Tower overhead trembled violently and leaped three zhang high into the air, its Divergent Flame extinguished by the turbulent airflow.

Kuang Tongyi, who was sitting cross-legged on top, was thrown into the air by the shock. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly circulated his inner energy to ignite his Dao Fire.

Gu Yuanqing unleashed another Palm Seal.

Where the Palm Seal passed, Space Rift appeared, and Demonic Qi seeped out, only to be quickly obliterated by the palm force.

Boom!

Another deafening roar erupted. The already uncontrolled Sky Burning Tower could no longer withstand the force and was propelled upwards, growing smaller and smaller with each passing moment.

Then, a giant hand reached out to grab the Sky Burning Tower.

Kuang Tongyi briefly levitated using the power of Dao Fire, forming hand Hand Seal to retrieve the Sky Burning Tower. Upon seeing this scene, his expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Young Master Gu!"

Gu Yuanqing had already grasped the Sky Burning Tower in his hand. The Sky Burning Tower trembled incessantly as if trying to escape, but it was impossible to escape. He heard Kuang Tongyi's voice and fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, he released his grip, gave Kuang Tongyi a deep look, and slowly said, "You pleaded for me twice when you came with Ji Qingyun, so this treasure is to repay that favor. In the future, if the Lingxu Sect dares to come again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Kuang Tongyi breathed a slight sigh of relief. The Lingxu Sect Ancestor had disappeared without a trace, the Heaven Gate Token had also vanished, and the Hun Tian Rope had fallen into Gu Yuanqing's hands. If the Sky Burning Tower were also lost, the Lingxu Sect would have lost all its foundation. Therefore, he had no choice but to shamelessly take it back.

Then, forcing himself to remain calm, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Daoist Friend. However, I have another question to ask you."

Gu Yuanqing replied calmly, "Since you've taken the liberty, then don't ask any further."

Kuang Tongyi was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Young Master Gu, may I ask if you know where my ancestor has gone?"

Gu Yuanqing sneered, "What a joke! What does it matter to me where your ancestor went? Your Lingxu Sect should just leave. I don't know if I'll change my mind and kill them all to prevent future troubles."

Kuang Tongyi's expression changed slightly, because Gu Yuanqing's aura did indeed carry a murderous intent. He wasn't surprised; if he were the one being cornered at his doorstep and forced to fight, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood.

Moreover, judging from the previous scene, Gu Yuanqing is now much stronger than when he first met him, even the Sky Burning Tower was knocked away by a single palm strike.

With our ancestor gone, no one can rival us!

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Yuanqing, landed, gave Gong Daoxian a look, and led several Lingxu Sect away quickly.

Walking a distance away, Gong Daoxian, dressed in White-Clad, couldn't help but say, "Uncle-Master, are we just going to ignore what's happening to the Ancestor? Gu Yuanqing must know something, or perhaps the Ancestor is in his hands."

Kuang Tongyi's expression was complicated. "There must be another reason for the old ancestor's matter. Besides, even if he is in Gu Yuanqing's hands, what can we do about him?"

Gong Daoxian said, "Why don't we send a message to the seniors in the Mountain and go find Gu Yuanqing together?"

Kuang Tongyi raised his hand, and on his palm rested the Sky Burning Tower.

"Nephew Sect Leader, you are about to enter the Dao Fire Realm as well. Let me ask you, if the five Dao Fire Realm Cultivator of Lingxiao Mountain were to fight against the Ancestor who wields the Sky Burning Tower, what are their chances of victory?"

Gong Daoxian opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.

Kuang Tongyi retrieved the Sky Burning Tower, glanced back at North Spring Mountain, and said, "Let's settle down nearby for now and investigate further to see if there's any news of the Ancestor. If not, you'll come back to Lingxiao Mountain with me; there are some things I need to tell you."

At the foot of North Spring Mountain.

Ji Dai withdrew his gaze from the departing figures of the Lingxu Sect members, revealing a large, yellowed smile, "I didn't expect the Lingxu Sect to suffer a setback. That's quite Human Heart."

Li Shi'an frowned. "Old Ji, I have a feeling this matter isn't as simple as it seems."

Ji Dai picked up the gourd, tilted his head back, and gulped down the last mouthful of wine. He said nonchalantly, "You people born into royalty just love to speculate. Even if there's something going on, it's between the Lingxu Sect and this Young Master Gu. What does it have to do with you and me? By the way, now that the Lingxu Sect has left, why don't you go and pay them a visit? This Young Master Gu is truly remarkable. To have such cultivation and skills at such a young Celestial Person is truly admirable and astonishing. I really can't help but want to go and meet him."

Li Shi'an looked up at North Spring Mountain, which looked quite different from before. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said, "Never mind, this battle has lasted for more than ten days. It's not appropriate to go up now. I'll visit you another time."

The old man in Hemp Robe nodded. "That's true. I'm out of wine too. I'll go back to Drunken Immortal Tower to refill it first. However, after this battle, North Spring Mountain is likely to become quite lively. The towering pagoda is like a miracle; many people have seen it, and anyone who hears about it can't help but want to come and take a look around North Spring Mountain."
