An avatar subdues Lingxiao Mountain

"A Grandmaster, yet his place has been usurped by someone else." Gu Yuanqing sighed softly.

This time, sensing danger, he used a double to descend the mountain, luring the person hiding in the shadows to reveal their presence. However, due to the Heavenly Human Split Soul, capturing them was still too difficult.

Moreover, after this experience, the other party will likely be more cautious and less easily fooled.

"At least we know the source of the danger, which is a gain in itself."

Qin Wuya's Sword Intent that day shocked countless people. Not long after the two left, experts from all walks of life came to investigate, but with their cultivation levels, they couldn't see anything at all.

Li Shi'an also rushed over. The battle took place near the capital, and he guessed that it was done by Gu Yuanqing. When he arrived at the scene, he sensed traces of Demonic Qi that had not completely dissipated. Upon seeing this, he frowned.

After looking around, he returned to the capital and stayed there for two days before heading to North Spring Mountain.

He met Gu Yuanqing and asked about what happened that night.

Gu Yuanqing then inquired about Qin Wuya.

Li Shi'an, filled with doubt, said, "Qin Wuya disappeared without a trace more than half a year ago, saying he was traveling the world seeking a breakthrough. He only suddenly returned to the capital a few days ago. Could this matter be related to him?"

Gu Yuanqing said, "He is no longer himself. However, you don't need to worry. What he seeks has nothing to do with the Great Qian Dynasty. Just be careful. If you encounter him, just ignore him. Ordinary Dao Fire Realm Cultivator are no match for him."

Li Shi'an was startled.

Qin Wuya disappeared without a trace after that day.

Gu Yuanqing didn't focus his attention on him either. His cultivation of the Dao Fire Realm was gradually reaching Perfection, and he was getting closer and closer to forging the Divine Platform.

However, the materials needed to build the Divine Platform are still far from sufficient. The Floating World is still too barren, and some materials are not something ordinary people can identify or find.

He summoned Li Shi'an and Ji Dai, promising that if they could find the other items on the list, he would teach them the methods of cultivating the Divine Platform.

Both men were overjoyed and descended the mountain that very day.

Two months later, when the two returned to North Spring Mountain, they did bring back a few items, but it was still too little. Although building Divine Platform did not require an instantaneous process, it was still not enough to just lay the foundation for the Divine Platform.

Gu Yuanqing then focused his attention on the Lingxu Sect.

On this day, he took another portion of the Incense Power and carved Puppet Grand Array to preserve and entrust his Divine Sense. Using the illusion technique he had comprehended from the Dao Resonance Heavenly Fishing to create bait, he condensed an Incense Avatar, then isolated it with spatial means, and took many jade tablets with sealed techniques down from North Spring Mountain.

This Avatar headed straight for the Lingxu Sect.

Riding the waves and entering Guixu Island, Gu Yuanqing headed straight for Lingxiao Mountain.

Even though this was Avatar, it was very easy for him to avoid the eyes and ears of Ordinary Person. He went up the road without anyone noticing his presence.

This mountain is extremely majestic, reaching thousands of feet high and soaring into the clouds.

As Gu Yuanqing walked uphill, he saw the disciples of the Lingxu Sect, as well as Qin Baijun, whose arm he had severed on North Spring Mountain.

However, he no longer cared about it at this point; he only glanced at it before indifferently continuing up the mountain.

When we reached the halfway point up the mountain, we suddenly felt something was amiss.

There are also Array Formation in this Mountain!

But he did not stop and continued upwards. Just as Zhang Xuanlin could enter North Spring Mountain without any scruples, Gu Yuanqing did not care whether there were Array Formation in the Mountain. Zhang Xuanlin was still Split Soul, while Gu Yuanqing was only here with a wisp of Divine Sense. Even if it was damaged, it would not have much of an impact.

Before long, an old man appeared in front of them and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing on the forbidden grounds of my Spirit Ruins Sect?"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Gu Yuanqing, have come to pay my respects. I would like to request that Daoist Friend Kuang Tongyi of the Lingxu Sect come out to meet me?"

Within the Lingxu Sect, Gu Yuanqing only knew Kuang Tongyi. Furthermore, whether Ji Qingyun or Zhang Xuanlin came to North Spring Mountain, it was always Kuang Tongyi who accompanied them, indicating that Kuang Tongyi held a special position within the Lingxu Sect.

The old man's expression changed drastically. "Gu Yuanqing? It's you! How dare you come to Lingxiao Mountain?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Since your Lingxu Sect can come to my North Spring Mountain, why can't I come to your Lingxu Sect?"

The old man exclaimed in shock and anger, "Gu Yuanqing, you've gone too far!" His voice was so loud that it echoed all the way up the mountain.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "It's never me who's been going too far, it's your Lingxu Sect. I was peacefully cultivating in the Mountain, and you came knocking on my door time and time again. Why can't you stand it after I've only come once?"

The old man's body was ablaze with Dao Fire, as if he were about to make a move at any moment, but as Gu Yuanqing advanced step by step, he only retreated continuously.

The reputation of a person is like the shadow of a tree. Even the patriarch and the people from the Upper Realm have fallen one after another at Gu Yuanqing's hands. Their fear of Gu Yuanqing far exceeds that of anyone else, because only they themselves know how powerful Ji Qingyun is who wields the Sky Burning Tower.

A moment later, several Dao Fire Realm Cultivator arrived one after another in Lingxiao Mountain.

Kuang Tongyi arrived extremely quickly. In these Mountain, his cultivation was already the highest. He rushed forward, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Friend, may I ask what brings you to my Lingxu Sect?"

A piece of paper floated out from Gu Yuanqing's hand, and he said, "Each item on this list is worth ten bushels. My grudges with the Lingxu Sect are hereby settled."

Kuang Tongyi took a look and his expression changed slightly as he said, "Are you trying to break through to the Divine Platform Realm?"

Breaking through to the Divine Platform? The others exchanged glances. In their minds, Gu Yuanqing's cultivation should already be above the Dao Fire; otherwise, how could the Ancestor and the people from the Upper Realm not be his match?

Gu Yuanqing said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll only ask about the items on the list, and I won't hold any grudges against the Lingxu Sect anymore. You can even cultivate at the Foot of North Spring Mountain. The Spiritual Qi of Lingxiao Mountain used to be considered a sacred place for cultivation, but now, in my opinion, ha, it's not worth mentioning."

Kuang Tongyi solemnly said, "Young Master Gu should know the consequences of breaking through to the Divine Platform in this realm. Do you really want to drag this Boundary Domain down with you into the Demon Realm?"

Gu Yuanqing frowned. "This is not something for you to worry about. I have my own ways. Besides, wasn't your Lingxu Sect's ancestor Ji Qingyun also breaking through to the Divine Platform in this Boundary Domain?"

Kuang Tongyi suddenly realized that the Heaven Gate Token might have fallen into Gu Yuanqing's hands, and he swallowed back what he was about to say.

An old man beside him took the list from Kuang Tongyi's hand, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Kuang, why bother talking to him? If it were in North Spring Mountain, we wouldn't dare to provoke him, but he dared to trespass into my Lingxiao Mountain alone. He's really showing us no respect. He's just Dao Fire Realm Cultivator. With the Array Formation in my Mountain and the combined strength of a few of us, surely we can take him down?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "Is that so? Who gave you that confidence?" As she spoke, a rope flew out.

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated, while simultaneously making hand Seal Technique to try and control the rope. However, the rope had already been refined by Gu Yuanqing, and when he was controlling it, the Seal Technique of others were completely ineffective.

Others either unleashed Void Great Hand Seal or activated their Dao Fire to intercept with weapons, but all to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, the old man was tied up.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand to recall it, and then a jade tablet floated in the air. The power of the Green Mountain firmly suppressed it, making it lie on the ground, unable to move.

The Hun Tian Rope hovered in the air once more, seemingly ready to fly out at any moment.

Everyone present looked shocked and angry. A middle-aged woman shouted towards the mountaintop, "Charge!"

The next moment, Gu Yuanqing felt pressure coming from him, but he did not panic. He sent out a Bronze Token, and the Array Formation in the Mountain instantly stopped operating.

At the summit, beside the core of the Array Formation, an elderly man coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering a backlash from the Array Formation.

"Heaven Gate Token!"

The three men, who had already mustered their True Essence and were about to attack at any moment, turned deathly pale.

The Heaven Gate Token is the core Token of the Mountain Array Formation. Now, let alone using the Array Formation to trap Gu Yuanqing, they even have to worry about Gu Yuanqing manipulating the Array Formation to trap them.

The Heaven Gate Token and the Hun Tian Rope were both items used by the Lingxu Sect to suppress the foundation of this realm. However, now these items are in Gu Yuanqing's hands. In an instant, Lingxiao Mountain changed hands and became Gu Yuanqing's main venue.

Putting aside other methods, with just these two items, no one in this area can rival him.

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Feel free to use them. If you can truly defeat me, I'll turn around and leave!" Gu Yuanqing said calmly. Since he had come to the Lingxu Sect, how could he not be fully prepared?

He didn't bring these things with him when he went to the capital last time because that Avatar was just bait and it was the first time it was used. So, the things he carried with him were all disposable items, and he wouldn't regret losing them.

This time is different. Over the past few months, he has tested this Avatar many times. He is confident that even if he encounters the Heavenly Human Split Soul again, and is still no match for it, he can still use the Heavenly Fishing Method to bring all these treasures back to the mountain.

Hearing Gu Yuanqing's words, some people trembled with anger, but dared not even utter a word of defiance. There was nothing they could do; the situation was beyond their control.

At this moment, another person arrived from the foot of the mountain. It was Gong Daoxian, the Sect Master of the Lingxu Sect. When she saw the old man being suppressed, her Qi froze, and her aura surged as she stood in his way.

Gu Yuanqing glanced back at it but didn't take it to heart. It was just Grandmaster of the Dao Embryo Realm, not worth mentioning.

Kuang Tongyi took a deep breath. "I can give you the items, but these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are extremely scarce in this world. My Lingxiao Mountain Abyss doesn't have that many."

"Senior Brother Kuang!" the gray-clad man on the left called out.

Kuang Tongyi raised his hand and said, "With the Ancestor gone, I'm the one who calls the shots in these Mountain."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Then just bring them all."

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Sister Zhang, you two go to the storeroom and fetch it." Kuang Tongyi handed over the piece of paper.

The two men gritted their teeth, took the paper, glanced at Gu Yuanqing resentfully, and headed up the mountain.

Kuang Tongyi voice, "I hope you will keep your word."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "I am not from the Lingxu Sect, and I have no regrets. Just don't provoke me in the Lingxu Sect future."

Kuang Tongyi silent, knowing what Gu Yuanqing meant. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask about the Qingyun Ancestor of the Lingxu Sect and the Sect Master of the Upper Realm...?"

Gu Yuanqing coldly interrupted, "Don't push your luck."

A little further away, Gong Daoxian's expression was complicated. As Li Miaoxuan's Master, she knew some things. She never expected that a Origin Scholar who was once imprisoned in the Mountain would become someone that even the Lingxu Sect had to bow down to.
