Stripped of branches and leaves

The influence of the North Spring Boundary Domain is even more domineering than when the Boundary Gate was closed.

Although the Boundary Gate was closed, it was not completely cut off from the Great Dao. After all, the Great Dao River was still connected, but the power of the Divine Artifact could not directly radiate into the Exquisite Realm Domain.

The path of the North Spring Realm leans more towards the Immortal Path, while the path of the Profound Universe Realm Dao Law the Divine Path.

Those who are on the path of Divine Path will immediately experience a significant reduction in strength and their Great Dao will fall into silence if they enter the area covered by the North Spring Boundary Domain.

If one stays there for too long, one's own power will be like water without a source, slowly drying up, and in the end, it is even possible that one's realm will reverse.

Of course, this doesn't mean that these people are truly in dire straits. As they become True God, their life levels have leaped forward, and their Divine Soul have also undergone Transformation. Even if their Great Dao is not as profound as that of Immortal, they are still on the same level in the world. If they dedicate themselves to change, they may find a way to survive.

Mu Tianheng was once the Primordial Divine Sect Master, and even Gu Yuanqing had to take him seriously. But now, the difference between the two is like Heavenly Abyss.

Even Gu Yuanqing never really paid attention to him or cared about him. It was only because of his own ideas that he was unknowingly submerged in the torrent. Whether he could struggle out of it depended on his own fate.

This battle, seemingly high above, with no major Motion and Stillness in the Heaven and Earth, has actually already affected everyone in the affected world.

This is the influence of the great forces of Heaven and Earth; all living beings are swept up in it and have no right to make a choice!

To some extent, as Gu Yuanqing gains deeper and deeper control over these worlds, the worlds become more bound together.

Just like the Creation God King, the Demon Lord, the God King Wuxiang, and even Xuangen and Great Simplicity, as long as they cannot transcend, their fate is already locked within this world.

As more worlds completely merge into the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm, the Karma of these worlds also become one with that of the North Spring Realm.

When all of this becomes powerful enough, the previously unseen mysteries naturally emerge.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes reflected the myriad Myriad Forms of the heavens and the Reincarnation Heaven and Earth, giving him a clearer understanding of the path to becoming Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Especially when he saw that the North Spring Realm was connected to the fortunes of many other worlds, his understanding of the Path of Causality deepened.

Witnessing the workings of various worlds and feeling the traces they leave behind over time, one gains a more profound understanding of the Way of Space-Time.

In Gu Yuanqing's eyes, the Heaven and Earth shed their original appearance, revealing their essence, which is the Dao.

Myriad Forms in the Heaven and Earth originate from one, and the Great Luo Realm is about ascending along the path of the Dao to pursue that true oneness.

The beginning of the Golden Immortal's Indestructibility lies in the unwavering commitment to the One. As Heaven and Earth and earth revolve, the self is not eternal; this is the Indestructibility of the True Spirit.

The Golden Immortal can be seen as a testament to one's own Dao and the workings of Heaven and Heaven and Earth.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal goes a step further, seeking the most fundamental existence between Heaven and Earth, thereby mastering Karma and transcending the world.

Judging from various signs, the God Lord Realm only obtained a portion of the power of the Great Luo Realm.

If one's own Karma is too heavy, it is difficult to transcend it.

Or perhaps, the three Supreme Divine Artifact suppress the destiny, which can stabilize this world and allow it to undergo countless Reincarnation, but also prevent Xuangen from completely severing the Karma.

It can be said that it was both Divine Path and destroyed by the Divine Path.

Xuangen himself was very clear about these things. God Lord, the Lord of the Divine Path, but when there were three other Law Treasure standing side by side with him in this world, this God Lord was not complete.

This Karma can be said to have been predetermined long ago!

The outcome of the clash between the two sides is uncertain.

With each passing day, the North Spring Realm grows stronger, as its control over the territory deepens and its connection with the North Spring Realm becomes closer, while the aura originally belonging to the Profound Universe Realm diminishes.

However, Xuangen also grew stronger, because his own power awakened every day.

However, for the myriad realms centered around the Fa Yuan Realm, the more Xuangen revives, the stronger the stench of Decay Dao in the world becomes, the stronger the power of the Final End, and the more intense the Tribulation Qi enveloping all realms grows.

However, for Gu Yuanqing and Xuangen, it was still too early.

That day, Gu Yuanqing's heart stirred slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

With a sudden thought, he fell into the Underworld.

Then a dark path formed by the Principle the Underworld appeared, leading into the distance.

Gu Yuanqing calmly strode forward and saw King of the Underworld waiting ahead.

"Senior King of the Underworld, it's been a long time," Gu Yuanqing said with a fist and palm salute.

Now, Gu Yuanqing finally saw his face clearly. It was an ordinary-looking face, seemingly without any memorable features. His aura was ethereal and otherworldly, unlike any ghost or god.

Clearly, this King of the Underworld has already transcended certain boundaries.

When King of the Underworld saw Gu Yuanqing again, he knew that the other party had reached the same level as him. A complicated expression inevitably appeared in his eyes, and he sighed, "I thought that with my cultivation, I could remain calm even if the Heaven and Earth collapsed before my eyes, but every time I see Daoist Friend, I am always startled by Daoist Friend."

Gu Yuanqing knew what he meant and smiled, "I owe my current Creation to your guidance and assistance, senior."

"I dare not accept the title of 'senior.' I merely did what I was supposed to do, nothing more than a casual act, nothing to boast about." King of the Underworld shook his head and smiled, then gestured for Gu Yuanqing Gu Yuanqing to sit down and personally poured him a drink.

Gu Yuanqing picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

King of the Underworld added it again.

Gu Yuanqing picked up his wine cup again, carefully examining the wine inside, and said, "Red Dust Wine, a glimpse into the red dust within the wine; drinking this wine again, the taste is already different."

Back then, when he Refinement the Dao Soul, he was almost led astray by the passage of time contained within it.

The wine had no effect on him today, but drinking it made him recall this past event.

King of the Underworld said, "Different hearts produce different flavors."

Gu Yuanqing swirled his wine glass and said, "King of the Underworld Hades seems to have many feelings about this wine as well?"

"Everyone has things they can't forget." King of the Underworld also examined the wine glass, then smiled again, "Today we meet, but let's not talk about that. I haven't even congratulated you yet, Daoist Friend! To this day, Daoist Friend are almost at the Peak of cultivation."

"The Golden Immortal Realm is hardly the Peak of cultivation." Gu Yuanqing shook his head, then smiled and said, "Daoist Friend, could you reveal the Xuanji of these past years?"

"For Ordinary Person, the Golden Immortal Realm is Great Cultivator, but for you, Daoist Friend, it is indeed so," the King of the Underworld flattered.

Then he smiled and said, "With Daoist Friend's cultivation level today, you should be able to see some of the Xuanji. There are some things that, if revealed now, will do more harm than good. When the time comes, Daoist Friend will naturally know everything."

Gu Yuanqing's heart stirred slightly. The King of the King of the Underworld's words contained many Xuanji, giving him a vague idea of what was going on. However, the King of the King of the Underworld's words were indeed correct. He laughed and said, "Very well, since Senior has said so, then I, Gu, will not ask any further questions. Today, let us only drink and talk, and not discuss anything else."

For Gu Yuanqing, diverting a sliver of his attention was no big deal.

It will not affect his confrontation with Xuangen at all.

A day later, King of the Underworld departed, and Gu Yuanqing regained his composure.

He glanced in the direction of the Underworld, lost in thought.

Time flies, and several hundred years have passed.

Another major event has occurred within the Qian Yuan Sect.

That means Li Haotian is about to undergo his tribulation.

Over the preceding ten thousand years, the Qian Yuan Sect had undergone a complete transformation, with many members ascending to the Immortal Realm.

There are descendants of Gu Yuanqing, and rising stars of the Qian Yuan Realm.

Gu Yuanqing's grandsons and great-grandsons either ascended to the Immortal Realm or have already perished.

Among his former acquaintances, Li Shi'an and Qin Wuya had already ascended to immortality, while Kuang Tongyi and Ji Dai eventually turned to the path of Divine Path. Gu Yuanqing bestowed upon them Middle Rule Divine Artifact, enabling them to overcome their Divine Tribulation.

Of course, they follow the Divine Path, which is different from the Divine Path of the Fa Yuan Realm.

Based on the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm, or to put it more clearly, the Authority bestowed by Gu Yuanqing.

These Middle Divine Artifact, after being refined by Gu Yuanqing over many years, have lost their original foundation and have been marked by Gu Yuanqing. Naturally, they can use their power to embark on the path of Divine Path.

Although there are differences between the Divine Path and the Immortal Path, and the Karma are more related to the world itself, it is still a way out for Cultivator.

The Divine Path Cultivator of the Profound Universe Realm are on their last legs because the Profound Universe Realm itself has begun to Decay Dao.

The North Spring Realm, like the rising sun, grows stronger day by day, and those who walk the path of Divine Path through the North Spring Realm have no such concerns.

And Li Haotian is the same today.

His aptitude wasn't particularly outstanding; he only became Chaos Heaven Cultivator because he was Li Miaoxuan’s father, which granted him unlimited resources, various Immortal Pill and miraculous medicines to improve his aptitude, and numerous treasures to protect him.

Even so, it is extremely difficult to condense the original Dao Seed, comprehend the Creation Mystery, and ultimately achieve Immortal Path.

If it were anyone else, Gu Yuanqing wouldn't have cared much, but he was Li Miaoxuan’s father and also his father-in-law, so how could he sit idly by?

Li Haotian's choice of Dao Path was also a decision made after discussions between Li Miaoxuan and Gu Yuanqing. After all, with his aptitude, even if he achieved True Immortal under Gu Yuanqing's protection, it would be almost impossible for him to advance further.

It would be better to follow the Divine Path, which would be more sustainable in the long run.

After Refinement the Middle Rule Divine Artifact, the Withered Glory Staff, it was given to Li Haotian.

However, there is one difference compared to the Fa Yuan Realm.

In the Fa Yuan Realm, the Great Dao of the World is carried by the Rule Divine Artifact, so the Authority of the Divine Path Cultivator also comes from the Rule Divine Artifact.

In the North Spring Realm, the one who truly controls the Great Dao is Gu Yuanqing. Divine Artifact are more like protective tools. The foundation for becoming Divine Path in this realm comes from the Divine Path mark given to them by Gu Yuanqing.

As long as Gu Yuanqing approves, he will gain the approval of Heaven and Earth, and will naturally be granted Authority.

This Divine Tribulation was overcome in the North Spring Realm, and with Gu Yuanqing's deliberate protection, it was a close call without any real danger.

After transcending the tribulation, Li Haotian went into seclusion in the Mountain, a fact unknown to outsiders, even to the Cultivator within the Qian Yuan Sect.

He had long since retired from public life. Although he held the title of Supreme Elder, he had never intervened in anything since his descendants had grown up.

Gu Yuanqing also sent a message into the Immortal Realm, and Li Miaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the message.

Although they are indifferent to Life and Death at their level, they still hope that the people around them can live, so that they will not feel lonely.

As for the impact of having a few more Cultivator at the True God Level on the Qian Yuan Realm, it is negligible.

At this point, the North Spring Realm itself was already quite vast; even God King would likely find it difficult to find its boundaries.

Once it becomes the Great Luo Heaven Realm, the size of the space itself becomes meaningless.

Perhaps only Gu Yuanqing, the realm Realm Master, can truly define its boundaries.

That outermost layer is no longer a simple World Membrane, but a constantly evolving Chaos Void!

In fact, the territory now occupied by the Qian Yuan Sect is extremely vast, and the Qian Yuan Sect itself has become a behemoth.

Previously, Gu Yuanqing had tried his best to conceal the existence of the North Spring Realm.

But now, there's no need for that anymore.

The enemy already knows, so why hide it from our own people?

The Qian Yuan Realm is now vastly different from what it used to be. Because it is connected to the Earth Vein the North Spring Realm, the Earth Vein of the Qian Yuan Realm have naturally changed as well. The Spiritual Qi within it is now close to that of the North Spring Realm before its Transformation, and it has the potential to become Immortal Realm.

Or rather, in the eyes of Cultivator from other Exquisite Realm Domain, the Qian Yuan Realm and the Immortal Realm are not much different.

Immortal Path has become the mainstream in these worlds, while the original Divine Path has completely declined. This is a natural consequence of the changes in the Great Dao.

There are also True Immortal in the North Spring Realm. Due to Karma, Gu Yuanqing's direct descendants were sent to the Immortal Realm by Gu Yuanqing.

However, if others undergo tribulation within the Qian Yuan Realm, or if people from other regions ascend to Immortal Tribulation after undergoing tribulation, they will also enter the North Spring Realm.

The North Spring Realm itself was divided into seven heavens by Gu Yuanqing. The area where ordinary Cultivator lived was filled with Spiritual Qi, and both mortals and Spirit Beast could live there.

Beyond that, only Immortal and Divine Being are permitted to proceed.

The Qian Yuan Sect is located in front of the Heavenly Gate, acting as a guardian on behalf of Heaven.

As for the North Spring Mountain Master, it is hidden among the Great Dao, and apart from a handful of people, even if others come to the mountain, they will hardly see it.

These changes all occurred silently, changing spontaneously during Gu Yuanqing's confrontation with Xuangen.

Gu Yuanqing gradually perfected the framework of the North Spring Realm, which included the Boundary Domain, the Great Dao, and the Rules.

As the rulers of the world, perfecting these things is also perfecting their own Great Dao.

Time flies by so quickly—a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, thirty thousand years...

The name Gu Yuanqing was known to the world gradually changed. In the past, people would at most call him an Immortal, but now they gradually began to call him the Dao Ancestor.

He deserves this title, after all, the origin of Immortal Path in this world comes from him.

Many Cultivator embarked on the path of Immortal Path because of Gu Yuanqing's teachings back then.

Including the new worlds that the North Spring Realm has gradually taken control of over the years, the Immortal Path has also gradually developed, and the Dao Ancestor they worship is also Gu Yuanqing.

In order to obtain the Incense and Fire Qi for his Dao Derivation, Gu Yuanqing had no choice but to seize the Demon Lord's Physical Body.

But now there is no need for that at all. In countless worlds, billions of living beings recite his name, and the Incense and Fire Qi naturally gathers.

However, the Incense and Fire Qi did not gather on Gu Yuanqing's body, but instead converged in the Great Dao River of the North Spring Realm.

He can use it at will, but the Karma are borne by the North Spring Realm itself.

Perhaps this is the significance of the existence of the North Spring Realm.

His confrontation with Xuangen gradually came to an end, from the initial balance of power and back-and-forth to his gradual gaining the upper hand.

Xuangen, who stood above the Tianfang Domain, gradually became solemn.

North Spring Realm and Gu Yuanqing's growth is significantly faster than his power recovery!

The loss and fall of each Boundary Domain fueled the growth of the Northern North Spring Realm North Spring Realm and accelerated its pace of devouring the Profound Universe Realm.

Indeed, so far, the power of the North Spring Realm has remained outside the Fa Yuan Realm, but the countless Small World have almost completely separated from the Fa Yuan Realm.

The long river that once encompassed all worlds was gradually stripped of its branches and leaves, leaving only the final trunk.

However, Gu Yuanqing knew that the battle had only just begun. The true battlefield was the Fa Yuan Realm, where the Rule Divine Artifact were located, Origin Dao Sea, where the origins of the Great Dao converged!
