Before the Heaven and Earth Pool, Gu Yuanqing pulled Ji Qingyun out.

When he returned to human form, his aura was somewhat weak. The way he looked at Gu Yuanqing had changed. When he caught sight of the Heaven and Earth Pool out of the corner of his eye, a trace of fear couldn't be suppressed and surfaced in his heart.

To be a human being turned into a fish and exiled to the vast ocean, living alone on seaweed every day, is a feeling that couldn't be worse.

As soon as he came out, he felt that his Storage Bag was no longer with him. However, his cultivation was suppressed, and he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"Can you have a proper chat with me now?" Gu Yuanqing's tone was calm, but there was an undeniable air of defiance in his words.

A bitter smile appeared on Ji Qingyun: "What does Your Excellency wish to know?"

"What will happen to this world if the Demon Refining Array stops?" Gu Yuanqing asked, getting straight to the point.

Ji Qingyun slowly said, "The time of the Floating World and the Cultivation World will become one. The Outer Demon the Floating World will gather and continuously erode this realm. It may take a hundred years, a thousand years, or even longer, but the Floating World will eventually fall completely into the Demon Realm and be devoured by it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat. He then asked, "Is there a solution?"

Ji Qingyun shook his head and said, "If we find out the reason and report the details to the Sect in the Upper Realm, we might be able to find a solution. However, it's only a possibility. This is Primordial Divine Array, using the realm as its array. Ordinary Cultivator can hardly fathom its mysteries. In the last few thousand years, it is said that three Floating World Ancient Array have stopped, and the final result of each of them was that they fell into the Demon Realm, and Countless Living Beings were wiped out."

Gu Yuanqing took a deep breath. He hadn't expected things to be so serious. Fortunately, as he had thought, there was still plenty of time. Even if it was only a hundred years, it would be long enough for him. Perhaps by then, he and North Spring Mountain would have grown strong enough to protect this world.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Then, regarding the second matter, do you, the people of the Lingxu Sect Upper Realm, have a way to descend to this realm?"

Ji Qingyun gave Gu Yuanqing a deep look. He had noticed Gu Yuanqing's emotional change just now and realized that he had put such an important matter aside in a short time.

In his opinion, Kuang Tongyi had misjudged him; this man must be cold-hearted. His heart sank further; such a person was selfish and the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Yuanqing frowned and asked, "What, you don't want to tell the truth?"

Ji Qingyun said calmly, "You are not even afraid of me, who wields the Sky Burning Tower, so why should you fear anyone from the Upper Realm?"

Gu Yuanqing suddenly smiled, "It seems you still don't want to tell the truth. Fine, why don't you go back to the Heaven and Earth Pool for a while, and we'll talk again when you've thought it through?"

Ji Qingyun's expression changed slightly, but Gu Yuanqing had already thrown him into the Heaven and Earth Pool without allowing any further explanation.

Gu Yuanqing knew he couldn't outsmart these cunning old foxes who had lived for countless years. Besides, the information he gathered from their conversations might not be true. It was better to let them toughen up in the water first.

Ji Qingyun, now in fish form, immediately felt that Gu Yuanqing was unpredictable and capricious.

He stood by the pool and calmed State of Mind down a bit, having gleaned much of the information he wanted from their conversation.

"If the High Antiquity Grand Formation here has truly stopped because of North Spring Mountain's fall into the Demon World, then there is no solution to this matter for the time being. The only way is for me to use this mountain to improve my cultivation as much as possible. Only then will it be possible to truly solve the problem. Therefore, the only thing I can do now is to continue cultivating."

Gu Yuanqing cast aside all distracting thoughts, went to the edge of the Cliff, and began to try out the Heavenly Fishing Method.

After breaking through the realm, both True Essence and Divine Sense underwent Transformation. The Fishing Line condensed at this time was no longer the same as before. Hundreds of strands of True Essence were woven into the Fishing Line, which was quickly formed and was only slightly thicker than a hair. Moreover, it disappeared into the air and was almost invisible.

Upon entering the Demon Realm, he discovered a change in his Divine Sense, which could now extend twenty feet into the Demon Realm Demon Realm before being slowly eroded by its aura.

This time, the fishing spot was in a Valley, where there was no Spiritual Qi, and the ground was covered with dark brown rocks, with no weeds or trees.

Gu Yuanqing didn't rush to change locations, but instead carefully comprehended how the Dao Resonance transformed into Spirit Fruit under the Heavenly Fishing Empowerment.

This process is quite Creation, a realm Gu Yuanqing had never explored before. Each time he observed it, he gained a deeper understanding of the Dao Resonance employed.

He sat there for half an hour, Gu Yuanqing mind completely absorbed in the Fishing Bait, and in a state of half-thinking, he began to touch upon the fundamental principles of this transformation.

Just then, he suddenly awoke to find a snow-white Unicorn Beast appearing beside his fishing hook. Its horn flashed, and an incredibly sharp Wind Blade materialized out of thin air, slicing across the Fishing Line.

Then it opened its mouth to reach for the Spirit Fruit, but suddenly realized it hadn't broken off. It opened its mouth and let out a soft whistle. Gu Yuanqing's Divine Sense in the Demon Realm collapsed and lost its connection, and his True Essence also lost its connection.

Looking at the bare Fishing Rod in his hand, Gu Yuanqing shook his head helplessly. He was somewhat familiar with this aura. Some time ago, he had been lured into the bait several times, and this beast was one of the luring creatures. However, this time he finally saw its true form.

Gu Yuanqing took a deep breath, deciding to let it go for the time being. After all, this beast was clearly exceptionally intelligent, and it always cut the fishing line before swallowing Fishing Line bait. With his current abilities, it would be difficult for him to subdue it.

He moved to a different spot and continued fishing, but after catching just two prey, he was ambushed again by the Strange Beast.

It's unclear how it found its way here, and it's quite obvious that this beast is extremely fast.

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow, but still had no choice but to swallow his anger, since this guy had taken over the home turf.

But soon, Gu Yuanqing couldn't hold back any longer. In less than half an hour, the beast swallowed the bait twice more.

"Goodness, you've got your eye on me?"

Gu Yuanqing gritted his teeth in hatred, thinking to himself, "You just wait! Once my Heavenly Fishing skills improve to a higher level, I'll definitely catch you!"

Having had his Divine Sense disrupted by successive sneak attacks and lost his bait, Gu Yuanqing felt mentally exhausted. With this guy watching him from below, he decided to give up.

He returned to the courtyard, took a sip of tea, lay down on Chair, and entered the Mountain Observation to Divine Sense.

In the Demon Realm, amidst the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Strange Beast, One Zhang tall, entirely white, with a single horn on its head and two wings on its back, stood atop a mountain peak.

Its single horn shimmered faintly, and it kept turning its head to look around. After a long while, it seemed somewhat disappointed and lay down.

Eight thousand miles away on Sky Fox Mountain, a beautiful woman with a human body and Fox Tail frowned and said to the fox beside her, "That Stupid Donkey has finally calmed down. I don't know what it was doing running around in these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

The moment he uttered those words, his expression changed, and his six Fox Tail instantly grew larger, protecting him.

In that instant, the Unicorn Beast appeared out of thin air and charged at them.

Boom!

On Sky Fox Mountain, a burst of energy erupted, destroying countless rocks, trees, and even caves, while hundreds of Little Fox screamed and scattered in panic.

The Six-tailed Fox Demon, filled with shock and rage, shrieked, "You're asking for death!"

But before it could unleash its power, the Unicorn Beast had vanished without a trace!
