Qin Wuya of the Dao Fire Realm

Seeing its expression, Gu Yuanqing smiled wryly. Well, anyway, this mountain has disappeared from the Demon Realm, so this fox is harmless in this Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing was about to throw it back into the Heaven and Earth Pool, but after thinking for a moment, he threw the fox on the ground instead, wanting to see what would happen to this Demon Realm fox in the Spirit Mountain after it had been cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Pool.

The Young Fox landed on the ground, its body swaying from side to side. After a while, it seemed to realize what was happening and, with unsteady steps, it ran into the jungle, though its movements were somewhat awkward.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and chuckled. "They've been playing the fish for too long; they've forgotten how to walk."

The Young Fox ran around in a panic, eventually hiding in the jungle, cautiously looking around. Everything here was too unfamiliar.

Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze. There were still a few Spirituality animals in this Heaven and Earth Pool, but there was no need to release them all for the time being.

Having lost interest in Heavenly Fishing today, he returned to his Courtyard and entered the Spiritual Mountain Trial.

Having already reached the Great Accomplishment of Dao Fire, Gu Yuanqing's cultivation and strength surpassed that of Zuo Qiu and others. Therefore, the person he was now testing had become Ji Qingyun, who was at the Divine Platform Realm.

Gu Yuanqing, who was fighting across realms, was once again at a complete disadvantage. However, with his foundation being nearly perfect and his Dao Resonance no less than Ji Qingyun's, he was able to resist Ji Qingyun's Divine Soul attack and fight him for a long time with the Empowerment of the Green Mountain Intent.

Gu Yuanqing was not fixated on defeating the Divine Platform once he reached the Dao Fire Realm. Instead, he used the battle with the Divine Platform to comprehend under pressure how his Divine Soul, Physical Body, and True Essence could be more harmonious, and to find areas where they were not yet Perfection.

The next step is to bring these insights back to reality and improve one's own cultivation.

A few days later, Li Shi'an and Ji Dai also went up North Spring Mountain. Gu Yuanqing told them to find a Courtyard in the lower area to cultivate.

He didn't want Zhang Xuanlin, Ji Qingyun, and the others from the Lingxu Sect to have contact with others for the time being, so he waved his hand and moved the two of them to the Repentance Cliff the back mountain, and drew a Spatial Barrier.

Zhang Xuanlin and Ji Qingyun looked at their suddenly changed residence and listened to the howling wind outside, falling into a silence. The scenery here was far inferior to that outside.

Zhang Xuanlin sighed softly. The technique he had just witnessed had made him uneasy. Even with his Divine Sense suppressed, he, Celestial Person Cultivator, could tell that this was Spatial Method. Even his true self probably couldn't do something like this. He was increasingly unable to understand Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing instructed Aunt Feng to send some things to the back mountain every few days. As for water, Gu Yuanqing drew water from an ordinary spring underground, which flowed out from a crevice in the cliff of Repentance Cliff.

As Gu Yuanqing's connection with North Spring Mountain reached a new level, he was now able to subtly control the changes in North Spring Mountain's physical form, though it was still difficult and required a great deal of mental effort.

Gu Yuanqing's Mountain Observation has become increasingly wider, now covering a distance of three hundred miles around North Spring Mountain. Gu Yuanqing guessed that this might be related to the fact that the aura of North Spring Mountain has gradually permeated and changed the Earth Vein.

Having already gained a preliminary understanding of the Spatial Dao Charm, he became more sensitive to changes in space and sensed that the space of the Outer Realm Heaven and Earth was gradually becoming more stable.

Seeing this, he smiled slightly. It seemed that what he had obtained from Zhang Xuanlin was not the problem. In the long run, even if the Outer Demon the Floating World became increasingly dense due to the cessation of the Demon Refining Array, it might not be able to penetrate into the Floating World.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Li Changyan and Gu Yunying left one after another, but before leaving, Gu Yuanqing summoned Gu Yuanying to the North Spring Peak.

Gu Yuanqing accompanied her for a walk in the mountains, chatting idly for the entire afternoon.

Before leaving, Gu Yuanying once again invited Gu Yuanqing to attend her wedding ceremony.

Gu Yuanqing did not agree immediately, but said he would see when the time came.

Gu Yuanying was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't insist.

Gu Yuanqing then gave her a Jade Pendant to carry with her. Within it, Gu Yuanqing sealed the intent of the Green Mountain, so that it could protect her even when facing Dao Fire Realm expert. Afterwards, he waved his hand and sent her down the mountain.

The Little Fox survived well in the Mountain. Its Demonic Qi was washed away by the Heaven and Earth Pool, and its strength was even inferior to that of the other beasts in the Mountain. For the first few days, it lived in fear, being chased and running around. But after it encountered a den of foxes in the Mountain, its life became much easier.

Her bloodline is far superior to that of ordinary foxes. When this litter of foxes saw her, they took even better care of her than their own cubs, and she was the first to choose all the food.

Moreover, it was too young and extremely forgetful. Before long, it seemed to have forgotten its original situation and made North Spring Mountain its home, happily playing with the local foxes of North Spring Mountain.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanqing smiled silently.

It seemed to understand the methods of cultivation. Even though the Demonic Qi had been washed away, its foundation remained. It absorbed and exhaled Spiritual Qi every day, and its growth was extremely rapid. According to Gu Yuanqing's judgment, it might not be long before it surpassed all the beasts of North Spring Mountain.

The Incense and Fire Qi swirling around North Spring Mountain grew increasingly thick, and Gu Yuanqing, using his Pupil Technique, could see that this aura faintly emitted a golden light.

With the help of Incense and Fire Qi, Gu Yuanqing used the Heavenly Fishing Method, allowing his Divine Sense to travel thousands of miles. He could even see that some places had erected longevity tablets for him, with three sticks of incense offered to him every day.

Gu Yuanqing still occasionally helps the sick and needy, but most of the time he keeps the Incense and Fire Qi burning away with his Divine Sense. If you come into close contact with him, all sorts of sounds will fill your mind in an instant, and the effects will last for a long time.

Time passed day by day, and one day Li Shi'an reached the top of the mountain.

"Young Master Young Master Gu, Li Cunguo Changyan this young man and Miss Yunying are getting married in three days, and he has invited me to come down the mountain. Would you like to come with me?"

Gu Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then said, "You go first. I'll take another look in three days. These are my congratulatory gifts; I'd appreciate it if you could take them with you, senior."

After receiving it, Li Shi'an gracefully descended the mountain.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out of the mountain. Gu Yunying was one of the few close people in this world, and he should go down the mountain both emotionally and logically. But for some reason, whenever he had the thought of going down the mountain, his heart would skip a beat, as if some inexplicable crisis was about to emerge.

He turned to look in the direction of the Lingxu Sect, wondering if another expert had arrived from within the Lingxu Sect.

At this moment, he was close to the Dao Fire Peak, and he was confident that even if he was no match for an ordinary Divine Platform, he could retreat calmly with his many trump cards.

In this Floating World, there is no one who can rival him.

One possibility that comes to mind is the Lingxu Sect.

The second possibility is the Demon Realm. If he leaves this mountain, and a Celestial Person Realm expert breaks through the Void from the Demon Realm to attack North Spring Mountain, it could destroy its foundation.

This is also why he hasn't made a decision yet.

North Spring Mountain is crucial to his future cultivation; nothing is more important than this.

Three days later.

The Prince Qing's Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and many guests flocked to the site, creating a joyous atmosphere. Even the emperor sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts.

As evening fell, firecrackers went off, and amidst the joyous festivities, Li Changyan rode a tall horse ahead, followed by a sedan chair carried by eight men.

Outside the main gate, he led the bride down over the brazier and into the main hall.

As she traveled, Gu Yuanying looked around through her red silk veil, but did not see Gu Yuanqing, and felt somewhat disappointed.

After the three bows, as they were being led into the bridal chamber, a voice suddenly echoed in Gu Yuanying's mind.

"Yunying, congratulations on your marriage! May you and Li Changyan grow old together in happiness and be forever united in heart..."

Gu Yuanying turned her head and was surprised to see Gu Yuanqing standing among the guests, nodding and smiling at her.

Those around noticed the bride's unusual behavior and followed their gaze.

Li Shi'an, who was sitting at the main table, suddenly stood up, but the next second Gu Yuanqing smiled and nodded to him before disappearing.

Gu Yuanqing's status was now ordinary, and he did not want to overshadow the main guests at the Prince's Manor. He simply wanted to witness the event, offer his blessings, and then leave the Prince's Manor.

Fengtian City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

As Gu Yuanqing walked down the street, looking at this familiar place, he felt a surge of emotions. He arrived at the Gu Family and quietly looked around the secluded Courtyard where he had once lived.

He then arrived at a small courtyard in a relatively remote corner. If nothing unexpected had happened, he should have been granted a baronship here, along with several hundred acres of fertile land and a few shops, and lived a wealthy life thereafter.

The Creation I have now is something I once dreamed of when I was first reborn, but as I grew older, I had to accept the fact that I am ordinary.

The Courtyard was still lit up, with his former servants stationed there to clean and maintain it. No outsiders had moved in, but Gu Yuanqing still did not show himself. He only glanced at the place a few times before drifting out of Fengtian City and heading towards North Spring Mountain.

After traveling about five hundred li, Gu Yuanqing suddenly stopped and stood on a treetop.

"You've been following me for so long, why don't you come out and greet me?"

Dao Body flashed and landed a hundred feet away.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm, but upon seeing who it was, he was somewhat surprised. "Qin Wuya?"

Qin Wuya was still dressed as a scholar in Blue Robe robe. "Young Master Gu seems quite surprised?"

"You are not Qin Wuya. Although your aura is almost identical to his, you are not the same person. Moreover, it is impossible for him to have cultivated to the Lesser Completion of the Dao Fire Realm in such a short time."

"If Young Master Gu could cultivate to this level in just two years, why can't I?"

Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved, a dark light flashing in his eyes. He then chuckled and said, "Your Divine Sense is not something that Dao Fire Realm could possess. You must be Heavenly Human Split Soul, right?"

Qin Wuya was taken aback, then clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of the Person of Heavenly Mandate in this Floating World, you can actually see through these things. However, none of this matters. I came here today not to be an enemy of Young Master Gu, but only to take these two items."

Gu Yuanqing became somewhat curious. "What is it? Tell me about it?"

"A sword and half a scroll of scripture— Young Master Gu should know what I'm referring to, shouldn't he?"

Gu Yuanqing immediately realized what he wanted. The sword naturally referred to the Demon Subduing Sword, and if he wasn't mistaken, the half-scroll of scripture should have come from the Void Form half-scroll.

"Although you possess the Heavenly Human Divine Sense, you have only just entered the realm of Dao Fire. Are you so confident that you can defeat me?"

"If Young Master Gu resides on that mountain, I naturally wouldn't dare, but you shouldn't have come down the mountain." Qin Wuya smiled broadly. He had originally fled to the Great Zhou to cultivate in seclusion, but suddenly, while in the Great Zhou, he heard about the changes in North Spring Mountain, so he returned to the Great Qian to investigate. He never expected to find this opportunity.

Gu Yuanqing simply chuckled, "Is that so?"
