Meeting Lan Tinglie Again (double-length chapter)

"Have you heard? In a month, someone will be preaching on Blue Dragon Mountain!"

"Of course I've heard of it. Didn't the Imperial Court issue an official document stating that initially only those at the Dao Embryo Realm were qualified to listen to the Dao, but now even those at the Profound Martial High Rank can go."

Who is the preacher?

"You don't even know this? It's said that he established Dao Hall on Blue Dragon Mountain under the orders of Young Master Gu."

There's one more thing you might not be aware of.

"What's up?"

Do you know the level of spiritual cultivation of those who preach the gospel?

"To be able to explain cultivation methods to Dao Embryo Cultivator, one must be Dao Fire Peak Cultivator, right?"

"Haha, Dao Fire Peak? Wrong. It's said that his name was Bai Xianghui. He once stood atop a nine-tiered Divine Platform, his Divine Soul suspended a hundred feet in mid-air. Do you know what a nine-tiered Divine Platform means?"

The whole world is buzzing with discussion; this is one of the biggest events of recent years.

In this world, the Divine Platform Realm is almost a mythical existence. Even Gu Yuanqing, the strongest in this world, is only at the Divine Platform Seventh Level Realm according to the Heavenly Ladder. So how could a person at the ninth Divine Platform Ninth Layer suddenly appear and give a sermon not attract Cultivator from all over the world to flock to him?

Even members of the Lingxu Sect went down the mountain to listen to the teachings.

Cultivator at the Divine Platform Ninth Layer giving a sermon—this is an extremely rare opportunity.

It's like an ordinary Origin Scholar hearing that Grandmaster wants to teach you martial arts. Would you go or not? The choice is self-evident to anyone who still has the will to cultivate.

The Dao Hall has rules: when preaching, listeners only need to have Profound Martial High Rank cultivation, but if they want to stay in the Mountain Mountain cultivate and ask Bai Xianghui for guidance, they need to have a cultivation level of Dao Embryo or higher.

Everything needs a threshold, otherwise the rules of this Daoist temple in the mountains will be in chaos.

A month later, the Three Great Dao Halls each held a sermon, with thousands of people sitting and listening.

From the Profound Martial Secret Treasure to the Dao Embryo, from the Dao Embryo to the Dao Fire, and from the Dao Fire to the Divine Platform, although no specific methods were transmitted, the fundamental principles of cultivation and breakthroughs in each of the major realms were clearly explained.

These are the most important things for Cultivator in this realm, as they represent the direction of their cultivation.

Gu Yuanqing spent some time listening to the three people's explanations of their cultivation methods, which were quite exquisite. Some of the key points were things that Gu Yuanqing had never noticed before.

"As expected of Lineage with a long history in the Slanting Moon World, these secrets have been discovered and summarized by generations. Many of their insights are beyond the knowledge of ordinary Cultivator. Perhaps they cannot compare to those of a true Sect, but they are at least better than I expected."

Gu Yuanqing only observed for a short time before feeling relieved. Under the influence of the Soul Seal, none of the three dared to resort to any tricks and obediently did what they were supposed to do.

Everything seemed to be on track. The Slanting Moon World came, bringing its own information and a few servants, but nothing else changed.

The only person Gu Yuanqing still cared about was Wang Yuchi, who had gone Overseas and had not returned.

This person has not yet revealed himself; a Cultivator at the Divine Platform Ninth Layer is still worth paying some attention to.

Beyond the North Sea of Great Qian Dynasty, on a stretch of Sea Islands.

This place is 20,000 miles from the coast of Great Qian. The vast sea isolates this place from Great Qian, and only Divine Platform Cultivator can reach this place.

This Boundary Domain is comprised of island nations, constantly embroiled in conflict and war, and sparsely populated.

There are even fewer experts; only one person has ever Achieving the Dao Embryo stage.

Wang Yuchi stood atop the highest Sea Islands, gazing intently towards the direction of the Great Qian.

There, the Heaven-Connecting Stele stands, clearly visible even from a great distance. Its existence seems to transcend Liaokong; as long as one is within this realm, no matter where one is, it remains unchanged to it.

Before Wang Yuchi, an Ancient Mirror floated, with a bloody, ominous character appearing on its surface. Fresh blood dripped continuously from the character, and just looking at it gave one goosebumps all over and made one feel terrified.

Wang Yuchi deeply.

What dangers lurk within this Floating World? The Mysterious Light Mirror has issued repeated warnings, but no matter what methods I use, I cannot determine the source of the danger.

That day, upon arriving in this realm, he sensed a dangerous warning from the Mysterious Light Mirror. Initially, it was alright, but after the group separated and he flew over the Taiwu Mountain Range into the Great Zhou, the sense of warning suddenly intensified as soon as he entered the sky above the ocean.

Despite the Mysterious Light Mirror's frantic warnings, he silently flew nearly ten thousand miles before suddenly feeling safe.

During this period, whenever calculations were performed using the method of returning to this continent, the result was always an ominous sign.

A dark cloud settled over him. Had the Bai Clan made their move? How dare he act this way? Weren't they afraid of being exposed and other Lineage coming after them?

All the Heavenly Secrets are hidden in the mist. Unless he returns to the mainland and investigates in person, he will never be able to foresee the truth.

"My lord, the ships are ready. The people going to the mainland have all boarded. Is there anything else you wish to instruct us to do?"

Wang Yuchi said calmly, "I'll say it again: as long as you bring back useful information, cultivation Cultivation Method, Spirit Elixir, I'll give you anything."

"Yes, I understand."

Gu Yuanqing didn't focus too much on Wang Yuchi. So what if he was hiding Overseas?

Ten years ago, the area covered by North Spring Mountain was only a thousand miles; today, it covers tens of thousands of miles.

Perhaps before long, the entire Floating World will be completely exposed to Mountain Observation's perception.

In this Floating World, with a guide, one might not see anything immediately, but after only half a year, the changes in cultivation progress will be immediately apparent.

Three new Divine Platform Cultivator: Li Shi'an, Fan Hongqing, and Feng Kaiping from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

More than ten new Dao Fire Cultivator, while the Dao Embryo Cultivator has increased from over one hundred six months ago to over three hundred now.

The lower the cultivation level, the more obvious the increase in strength and numbers.

With everything on track, Gu Yuanqing then focused all his attention on his own cultivation.

In the past six months, his cultivation level has advanced further, reaching the Divine Platform Fifth Level. More importantly, the Cultivation Method from the Myriad Manifestations Sect has finally been fully integrated into his own Cultivation Method, and he has used it to deduce the prototype of the Void Heaven Realm Cultivation Method.

The Formless Heart Sutra: The mind governs all paths.

This method coincided perfectly with Gu Yuanqing's foundation. After integrating this method, Gu Yuanqing felt that all kinds of Dao Resonance could be Ruyi expressed, and the changes became increasingly unpredictable.

At the same time, the Formless Heart Sutra and the method of transforming bait into illusions in the Heavenly Fishing Technique seem to share a similar essence.

Gu Yuanqing's Heavenly Fishing Technique has become increasingly refined. Ordinary prey in the Demon Realm cannot escape his hook, not even the Great Demon of the Divine Platform!

As his Divine Sense grew stronger, Gu Yuanqing was able to detect the situation within a radius of nearly ten miles around him while Heavenly Fishing.

He also tried his best to avoid his fishing hook falling into the territory of the Heavenly Human Great Demon, because fishing for prey one after another would inevitably leave a trace, and the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were already filled with the sounds of wind and the cries of cranes, with every bush and tree a potential enemy.

Rumor has it that a shameless person targets young Demon Race. These powerful Celestial Person frequently use their Divine Sense to sweep across their territories, and Gu Yuanqing never has a chance to catch his prey before his tracks are discovered.

Over the past few years, he has encountered almost half of the celestial Celestial Person in the Demon Race race. If it weren't for the power of the Rules of North Spring Mountain, he would probably have been dragged into the Demon Realm and torn to pieces long ago.

Of course, the most troublesome thing about the Heavenly Fishing is still that Unicorn Beast. It comes and goes without a trace, and no matter where you are, it will find you within an hour.

The number of fish in the Heaven and Earth Pool had increased considerably. Gu Yuanqing's enjoyment of Heavenly Fishing was not the prey he caught, but rather the exploration of the application of his Divine Soul, True Essence, and Dao Resonance through Heavenly Fishing.

Every confrontation with prey is a comprehensive test of skill.

On this day, Gu Yuanqing knew where he was as soon as his Fishing Line disappeared into the Cloud Layer.

This is Sky Fox Mountain, and the white fox that now reigns supreme in the Mountain comes from here.

Gu Yuanqing had just pulled back the Fishing Line when he suddenly stopped. Four illusory images of Heavenly Human Divine Soul appeared, representing the Sky Fox Tribe, the Tiger Race, the Demon Phoenix Race, and the Ape Race.

Gu Yuanqing stopped out of curiosity, attaching his Divine Sense sense to a tree.

"That's Human Race!" the beautiful woman with a human body Fox Tail said coldly.

"Human Race? How dare they lay a hand on our young? Aren't they afraid of our wrath and our collective attack?" a phantom tiger said coldly.

"There's no mistake. The technique was profound, and the aura was pure, unlike that of the Demon Race, much less the Asura Race. The only possibility is that it's Human Race."

"But it seems that no one among the Human Race is so proficient in Spatial Art. And strangely enough, while breaking through the void and Creation illusions are all techniques of Celestial Person, their Divine Sense and True Essence are not like those of Celestial Person when it comes to fighting against them."

"Wait a minute!" The Divine Soul Demon Ape with its Heavenly Demon flames suddenly stood up, then conjured a stick and struck a tree, leaving a faint shadow of Fishing Line.

The Six-tailed Fox Demon demon was furious when she saw this. She invited the patriarchs of the four major clans to discuss important matters, but the person in question overheard everything. Instead, outsiders saw through her scheme, which was utterly humiliating.

Her six tails stirred the Void, and Yao Qi rose along the Fishing Line, intending to attack Gu Yuanqing directly.

However, even Celestial Person are helpless against the power of the Rules of North Spring Mountain.

The Demon Ape said calmly, "Don't waste your energy. I've already tried everything; all methods are useless. Even if I shatter the Void, I still won't be able to find his actual location."

The Demon Fox spirit roared in fury, "This is outrageous! Are we, the Four Great Royal Races of the demon Demon Race, just going to sit here and watch him attack my people without doing anything about it?"

"Sister Sky Fox, I've tried it too, but even my Phoenix Flame can't harm him." A girl said in a soft, sweet voice from the throne formed by the raging Demonic Flame.

The Six-tailed Fox Demon said in a chilling tone, "What I mean is, since you suspect Human Race, then Human Race give us an explanation themselves. Otherwise, don't blame us."

The Demon Ape said, "I know your daughter was taken away, but without any proof, why would Human Race listen to us?"

The Six-tailed Fox Demon sneered, "When has our Demon Race race ever needed evidence to carry out its actions? Since everyone agrees that it was Human Race who made the move, what's wrong with Human Race explain themselves?"

Tiger Lord said, "In the past, there would naturally be no problem, but not now. The war between the Human Race and the Underground Cave is in full swing, and there are also frictions with eleven large and small Demon Race. If we intervene again, the Human Race may not be able to hold on."

The Demon Ape sneered, "What? Brother Tiger, are you now having to worry about the Human Race?"

Tiger Lord sneered, "As long as your Ape Demon clan swears to guard the Underground Cave, we will Human Race right now."

The girl on the throne smiled and said, "I have no objection."

The Demon Fox spirit seemed to have calmed down by then, and said indifferently, "It was about putting pressure on the Human Race Human Race, not about annihilating them. Fine, since you don't intend to do anything, then my Sky Fox Tribe will simply send a Tribal Edict to the Human Race in our own name."

"I had hoped to hear a bit about the Demon Race's plans and the Demon Realm Human, but I didn't expect that when I heard about my own affairs, even the slightest fluctuation in my mind would be detected."

Gu Yuanqing was only doing it out of interest, and since he didn't have the chance to listen, he let it go. He didn't really care about the Demon Realm anyway.

At night, the sound of gongs echoed through the Demon Realm, revealing that it was time to pay rent again this year.

Gu Yuanqing concealed the view of others in the Mountain and then revealed the Floating World to the Demon Realm. He was quite familiar with the Great Gong Venerable Meng San, and the rent and transactions went very smoothly.

Gu Yuanqing casually inquired about the Human Race's movements, and was slightly puzzled upon learning the details. A battle of this magnitude shouldn't warrant the ringing of the Nine-Sound Heavenly King Bell, right? Perhaps there were some things I didn't know about.

Before leaving, Meng San suddenly said, "You'd better be careful lately. Several prodigies from the Asura Race have left the Northern Wasteland. These individuals are of extraordinary status and each has a protector. I heard they recently entered the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. The Asura Race is in a lot of trouble, and our clan doesn't want to provoke them."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Great Venerable. Once this transaction is completed, I will activate the Mountain Protecting Great Formation and Mountain Sealing for cultivation. Even if the Asura Race comes, it will be useless."

As the Great Gong Venerable departed, North Spring Mountain, following Gu Yuanqing's thought, was about to disappear into the Void when suddenly a streak of light flew by, and from afar someone shouted, "Senior, wait!"

Gu Yuanqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and burly man with disheveled hair, his body wreathed in black Demonic Flame —it was Lan Tinglie.

In the blink of an eye, Lan Tinglie arrived at the foot of North Spring Mountain.

"Senior, I've finally found you! I knew you hadn't left yet." Lan Tinglie smiled and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Gu Yuanqing had actually sensed Lan Tinglie a few days ago, but hadn't intended to interact with him. Now that he'd been seen, he wasn't in a hurry to leave, and calmly smiled, "What brings you here? I heard from the Iron Eater Tribe that your entire Lanting City had moved back to the Human Race. Why are you back?"

Lan Tinglie said, "I have come here specifically to seek you out, senior. I am now a subordinate of Heavenly Micro Divine General Gongsun Sui. I came to this area last year and inquired with the Great Demon around here. I learned that you had appeared here before, so I have come here specifically to wait for you this year."

"Heavenly Micro Divine General Gongsun Sui?" Gu Yuanqing recalled for a moment and remembered who it was. More than ten years ago, when North Spring Mountain had just fallen into the Demon Realm, it was this person who wanted to invite him to come out of the mountain.

"Indeed, senior is proficient in Array Formation. Now, in order to save the Human Race Great Calamity, the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall is searching everywhere for Array Master. The Divine General knows that I have met you once before and knows that you have not forgotten the Righteous Cause of the Human Race. Therefore, he specially sent me to invite you to come out of seclusion." Lan Tinglie clasped his hands and bowed, speaking solemnly.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "More than ten years ago, I said that I would be retiring to the Mountain Sealing to cultivate, and these matters should not be mentioned again."

Ugh, typing on my phone is so slow!
