Changes in the Floating World
Is it the Heavenly King Bell in the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall?
Gu Yuanqing turned to look at Xing Fei and saw that he and Lu Jianqiu both seemed a little absent-minded.
Gu Yuanqing had heard Lan Tinglie mention the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall, which was established by a Heavenly Human Realm expert of the Human Race in this world and was superior to the Four Great Kingdoms.
This order signifies that the entire Human Race is on high alert, something that only happens when Human Race faces Life and Death crisis.
Gu Yuanqing asked, "Do you know which race we are going to fight?"
Xing Fei snapped out of his daze and said with a wry smile, "We're only at the Innate Realm, how would we know about these important matters? It's either the Demon Cave, the Demon Race Demon Abyss, or the Demon Race. However, compared to that, the possibility of a major war with the Demon Race is actually not very high."
Why?
Xing Fei was slightly surprised that Gu Yuanqing would ask this, but he still said, "In the Dragon Demon Realm, there is no doubt that the Demon Race race is the most powerful. Although there are the most conflicts between the Human Race and the Demon Race race, they are basically battles between a few Demon Race and a certain Dynasty."
The ancestor of the Demonic Dragon Clan has been asleep for many years. The Demon Race Clan is leaderless and has its own conflicts. They do not want to have a war with the Human Race. Moreover, they need the Human Race to suppress the Demon Cave and share the pressure of the Demon Abyss.
Especially in the Demon Cave, the Demon Race race is naturally undisciplined. If it were the Demon Race suppressing it, problems would inevitably arise sooner or later. Therefore, throughout history, in the Human-Demon War, even though the Demon Race had a few times when they had the absolute upper hand, they always retreated in the end.
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. Lan Tinglie had mentioned some of these things, and combined with what Xing Fei had said, he had a general understanding of them.
"Senior, will you leave this place for the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall?" Lu Jianqiu asked.
Gu Yuanqing gathered his thoughts, did not answer, but smiled and said, "If you still want to go to Lanting City, you'd better set off as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and then bowed in farewell.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuanqing sent a gust of Qingfeng carrying the two away from North Spring Mountain.
As soon as Xing Fei and Lu Jianqiu left the territory of North Spring Mountain, their cultivation levels returned to normal.
The two bowed once more to the North Spring Mountain before recognizing the direction and using their movement techniques to head towards Lanting City.
Once they were a little further away, Lu Jianqiu asked again, "Senior Brother, did you say that Senior Gu would go to the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall?"
Xing Fei said, "Senior naturally has his own plans for this matter; it's not something we should concern ourselves with. Let's hurry on our way; we must reach Perching Phoenix Valley before sunset today."
In the small courtyard.
Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, then shook his head and smiled.
He was not from this world, had little connection to it, and felt no sense of belonging. What did this war have to do with him?
If he were strong enough, he would naturally not hesitate to help out, considering they were both of the same Human Race bloodline. But with his current cultivation level, what could he possibly do?
Thinking too much is pointless; it's better to spend your time on spiritual practice.
Thinking of this, he began practicing boxing in the courtyard. This style of Fist Art was derived from the Secret Manuals he obtained from Lan Tinglie.
He fought slowly, but each punch carried the spirit of the Green Mountain. His acupoints trembled slightly, and an invisible force flowed through his body. Dao Fire blazed on his body. It was both Fist Art and a method of Body Refinement.
It's also perfect for stretching your muscles and bones in the morning.
In the Lower Court, Zhang Xuanlin and Ji Qingyun were also awakened from their meditation and came to the Courtyard.
"Sect Master, the bell sound just now seemed to come from a very distant place."
Zhang Xuanlin nodded slightly. "Moreover, the sound of the bell contains the Celestial Person, directly penetrating the mind and spirit. This Demon Realm is truly extraordinary."
On Bamboo Mountain.
Xiong Ba, who was fast asleep on the White Jade Bed, suddenly looked up in the direction of the Heavenly King Bell, twitched his ear, and swatted a buzzing Giant Mosquitoes so hard that it fell to the ground.
It muttered sleepily, "These Human Race fellows are never still. Fighting and killing are nothing compared to eating bamboo and sleeping."
Then it lay down and continued to sleep.
At the summit, the old patriarch stood, his brows slightly furrowed. He sighed, "We don't care who we fight, as long as it doesn't affect my Iron Eater Tribe!"
After seeing the two off, Gu Yuanqing seemed to have forgotten about the Heavenly King Bell.
Now that Peaceful Years at North Spring Mountain, he devotes all his attention to spiritual practice.
His Body Refinement techniques gradually became instinctive, and his body trembled slightly at all times, while his Dao Fire remained burning slowly.
His body grew stronger through constant breaking, repairing, and rebuilding.
His Divine Sense also became more refined, and within this Demon Realm, with the help of the power of North Spring Mountain, he could now probe as far as twenty miles.
Once the mind is freed from all distracting thoughts, it becomes increasingly pure and clear, and the more one gains from Mountain Observation, the more one can appreciate them.
He Mountain Observation and perceives their weight; he observes water and perceives its goodness; he observes trees and perceives their vitality; he observes wind and clouds and perceives their changes.
Every wisp of Dao Resonance condenses in the heart, manifests in the Dao Embryo, and transforms into Dao practice.
The Dao Embryo World grew increasingly powerful, and all things transformed from True Essence and Dao Resonance gained Spirituality, as if a world was slowly moving from illusion into reality.
Spirit Mountain grows daily, and the area of North Spring Mountain is almost twice as large as when it first fell into the Demon Realm. At this time, it is already over 800 zhang high, and it is still growing every day.
These changes are also reflected in the Floating World.
The Spiritual Qi has spread throughout the land, and the Earth Vein connected to North Spring Mountain are gradually transforming into Spirit Vein.
What Gu Yuanqing didn't know was that the changes in Spiritual Qi were only the most superficial aspect.
North Spring Mountain connects the Demon Realm and the Floating World.
Its Demonic Qi was transformed by the power of North Spring Mountain, but the laws of Heaven and Earth of the Demon Realm spread to the Floating World through North Spring Mountain.
Although the process is incredibly slow, it happens every single moment.
The Floating World was originally Small World, incomplete in terms of Heaven and Earth. These ways of Heaven and Earth, transformed by North Spring Mountain, were like sweet dew falling on parched earth, causing this world to change from its very foundation.
The first to perceive this change were the top Cultivator at the Dao Fire Realm.
Li Shi'an and Ji Dai, who were cultivating around North Spring Mountain, felt that their cultivation was beginning to improve, and the Dao Mechanism that they could not comprehend in the past were becoming clearer in their hearts for some reason.
However, they only assumed that the Spiritual Qi around them was getting denser, so their cultivation was improving, and didn't think too much about it.
Kuang Tongyi, who was on Lingxiao Mountain on Guixu Island, was different. His cultivation was already at the Peak the Dao Fire Realm, and when he unleashed his full power, he could break the limits of this world.
However, recently, he keenly noticed that the space around him had become much more resilient, and the feeling that a full-force burst of energy could shatter the world had suddenly disappeared.
He initially thought it was just an illusion, but when he channeled all his cultivation and shattered the air with a single punch, he realized it was real.
He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but when his cultivation level improved and he glimpsed a glimpse of an opportunity to achieve the Divine Platform Opportunity while meditating and comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he was overjoyed.
He had reached the Dao Fire Peak for decades, but then made no further progress. This sudden change almost caused him to lose his State of Mind Qi Deviation.
Meanwhile, at the foot of North Spring Mountain, the progress of the many Cultivator was even more astonishing.
Countless Cultivator have broken through their cultivation levels here after years of stagnation.
In a short period of time, two people even rose from the Profound Martial Ninth Layer to the Grandmaster Realm!
In this realm, the difference in status between Profound Martial Ninth Layer and Grandmaster is like heaven and earth.
While those at the Profound Martial Ninth Layer can indeed live a life of luxury and wealth, once they become Grandmaster, even the Great Qian Imperial Court must show them respect, and the emperor must treat them with courtesy, never kneeling before them.
This news caused a sensation throughout the world, and the area at the foot of North Spring Mountain became a veritable holy land for cultivation!
The name of the Immortal Mountain had long been known throughout the world, and countless Cultivator flocked to North Spring Mountain as if on a pilgrimage.
Not only are various buildings and houses springing up on the many hilltops at the foot of North Spring Mountain, but even small mountain villages a hundred miles away are bustling with people.
It quickly transformed from a village into a small town, and even developed into a county town. In some places with good feng shui, even a dilapidated village house could be worth hundreds of gold coins.
Even the Assistant Minister of Personnel of the Imperial Court was stationed here, and the land deeds in this area were even more expensive than in the capital.
Gu Yuanqing calmly watched the ever-changing landscape below the mountain. In the Floating World, his Divine Sense could already cover a distance of a hundred miles.
When the mood strikes, he immerses himself in the noise and bustle, trying to understand the myriad aspects of Human Heart.
When encountering evildoers, they would kill them remotely with a thought, and when this news spread, peace returned to the foot of North Spring Mountain.
Another good thing is that as more people came, more restaurants and vendors appeared a little further down the mountain.
If Gu Yuanqing suddenly wanted to eat something, he only needed to think about it and use the Heavenly Fishing Method to leave behind some silver and take away the delicious food and wine.
Furthermore, this place is a gathering place for many cultivators, who bring countless Cultivation Method Secret Manual with them. Gu Yuanqing would occasionally take a look when he had free time. Although most of them were useless, the wisdom of many people combined meant that there were always some unique aspects to them.
Whenever he received something, Gu Yuanqing would bestow a handful of Spirit Spring Water as a token of his gratitude.
The Spirit Spring at this time was even more miraculous than before. For these Cultivator who were at most at the True Martial Realm, a sip of ordinary Spirit Spring water could cure all their ailments, improve their physique, and raise their cultivation level by one realm.
Such a wonderful thing is like Immortal Destiny, and everyone is overjoyed.
The Incense Power smoke swirling around North Spring Mountain grew even stronger, allowing Gu Yuanqing to sense things thousands of miles away.
This Path of Incense and Fire has its merits, but Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved.
The Gu Family family also arrived.
However, most people are unfamiliar with Gu Yuanqing. His father was born out of wedlock, and he was only able to stay in the Gu Manor because his parents died early. After all, he was a member of the Gu Family.
He lacked the aptitude for cultivation from a young age. In the Gu Family, such a person was practically invisible, only slightly better than a servant.
Her relationship with Gu Yuanxuan seemed good, probably because they were the same age and he might become the head of the Gu Family in the future. She wanted to maintain some goodwill so that he would have a powerful backer and could live a comfortable life as a wealthy man. However, when trouble came up, he was pushed out to take the blame without hesitation.
However, he did see a familiar face today, Gu Yunying.
Gu Yunying was also born to a concubine, and her status was not much better than Gu Yuanqing's. Perhaps because they shared the same fate, she was considered Gu Yuanqing's closest person in the Gu Family.
But today she was different from usual. Her clothes were gorgeous and her headdress exquisite, making her a true noble lady. Only the lingering melancholy between her brows remained the same as before.
To Gu Yuanqing's surprise, the person accompanying him was Li Changyan, the grandson of Prince Qing.
The two of them followed behind Prince Qing, heading towards the gate of North Spring Mountain.
