Haven't You Got Something Wrong?
Gu Yuanqing was indeed right; even though he killed two Demon Race from Five Poisons Mountain, Zhu Yi and the others still didn't take him seriously.
It's very simple. If he were truly a master, why would he be living in someone else's territory and even paying rent to the Iron Eater Tribe on time?
Even though the aura emanating from the attack was vast and immense, the sense of power at the Heavenly Human Level was not strong.
As for killing the members of Five Poisons Mountain, that's even less surprising. These guys are only somewhat formidable when they're together; once their formation is broken by a sneak attack, they're nothing but a bunch of useless trash.
The Three Heavenly Human Realms and Heavenly Change Realm, which requires passing through three stages, each tribulation representing an improvement in cultivation and life level. In other words, only those who have passed through the Heavenly Tribulation can be considered true Celestial Person and Man.
True Cultivator or Demon Race with deep foundations all break through from the Void Heaven and immediately begin their tribulation, becoming true Heavenly Change Cultivator in one fell swoop. Only in this way can their aura be pure, their foundation solid, and they be able to go further in the Heavenly Human Realm.
For example, many Divine General in the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall of the Human Race remained at the Void Heaven Peak because of this.
Those who can Celestial Person are one in ten thousand, and those who dare not undergo tribulation are the lowest level among them.
In Zhu Yi's view, Gu Yuanqing was just that kind of Human Race, and to him who had already survived two tribulations, he was nothing at all.
If one's realm and level are not yet reached, what use would relying on Array Formation be?
Zhu Yi transformed into human form and rode the clouds to a place thirty miles outside North Spring Mountain.
"Human Race, commit suicide. I'll grant you a complete corpse and let your soul return to Netherworld underworld. Consider it a sliver of hope from me, Old Zhu." Zhu Yi said nonchalantly, standing in the air.
Gu Yuanqing was both amused and exasperated. This wasn't just ignoring him; it was blatantly taking him for granted. He sighed softly, "Have you always been this arrogant?"
Zhu Yi laughed loudly, "What, you have a problem with that?"
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I just never expected to see two such arrogant pigs in my lifetime. The previous one had a powerful background, but as for you, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
Zhu Yi was about to speak.
Suddenly someone chimed in, "Daoist Friend Gu, don't underestimate him. Although he's a bit ugly, he's still Great Demon who survived the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change."
Gu Yuanqing turned around and frowned. It was Ji Xian, the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Temple whom he had met before. He had arrived at the foot of Beiquan Mountain at some point.
Zhu Yi immediately hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Ji Xian, you have crossed the line. This is not Human Race territory, and it is not a place for you!"
Ji Xian chuckled, "This doesn't seem to be your Zhu Clan's territory either."
"The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are the territory of the Demon Race. If you don't want to die, you'd better retreat now," Zhu Yi said coldly.
Ji Xian said, "Kill me? You're still not enough."
"And what about me, Human Race Heavenly King? If you don't want to join the Human-Demon War with my Demon Eagle Tribe, you'd better retreat immediately. The Iron Eater Tribe is not a place for you." The Eagle King suddenly appeared outside North Spring Mountain, its cloak fluttering behind it. With its arrival, the wind Outer Realm suddenly became fierce.
Ji Xian ignored the two demons and turned his gaze to Gu Yuanqing, smiling slightly, "Daoist Friend, we meet again."
Gu Yuanqing said in a calm tone, "This time, you are much more polite than last time."
Ji Xian said, "I understand that you have some grievances, Daoist Friend. However, it was all for the sake of the Human Race. I apologize for my past actions." After saying this, he clasped his hands and bowed.
Gu Yuanqing said indifferently, "No need. Wartime Oversight of the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall, you haven't come here today just to apologize, have you?"
Ji Xian's gaze narrowed slightly. He sensed that the man surnamed Gu seemed somewhat unaware of the situation. However, considering that the Human Race indeed needed Array Master at the Heavenly Human Level, he suppressed his anger and patiently said, "Since Daoist Friend has displayed the strength of Celestial Person, you should understand that you probably cannot stay here any longer."
Gu Yuanqing replied calmly, "And then?"
"You killed two Heavenly Human Great Demon from Five Poisons Mountain. The Demon Race will not let you off the hook." Ji Xian said, glancing at Zhu Yi and Eagle King beside him.
Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "Why be so hesitant, King Ji? We Cultivator speak our minds directly."
"The only place in the world that can accommodate you is our Human Race. All Human Race are one family. No matter where Daoist Friend comes from, as long as you are of Human Race blood, our Heavenly Human Sacred Hall is willing to accept and protect you."
At this point, Ji Xian's gaze became fervent. "As long as Daoist Friend agrees to serve my Human Race, I, Ji, will certainly protect you and ensure your safe entry into Human Territory."
The Eagle King sneered, "Protect him? You've got quite the nerve. If you were one of the top three Heavenly King of the Human Race, I'd turn around and leave. But as for you, if you don't know your place, the Human Race Heavenly King."
Ji Xian ignored him and stared at Gu Yuanqing, saying, "Daoist Friend, what do you think?"
Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "What if I don't agree to serve the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall?"
Ji Xian said, "Daoist Friend should know how to choose. If you are unwilling to serve the Human Race and the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall, then I can only say that I cannot help you. After all, I am Celestial Person of the human Human Race, and at this critical juncture, all my actions must prioritize the interests of the Human Race. I cannot wage war against the Demon Race race for the sake of those who are unrelated to my Human Race."
Gu Yuanqing coldly replied, "Your words are quite nice, but have you forgotten that I have been cultivating here peacefully, without ever provoking any human or Demon Race? It is your Heavenly Human Sacred Hall that has insisted on dragging me into this mess."
Ji Xian clasped his hands and said, "I understand that Daoist Friend Gu has grievances. Rest assured, as long as you are willing to return to the Human Race with me, everything can be discussed."
"That's quite a scheme. They push people into a trap, then extend a hand, saying, 'Work for me, and I'll pull you out.'"
"Have you forgotten something?"
The Eagle King, who had been ignored all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer and erupted. His aura soared into the Horizon, and a Gale swept everything away.
"This is Demon Race territory. If you want to take people away, you'll have to ask me first!"
"That's right, this is Demon Race territory. You surnamed Ji, get out of here right now, or I, Zhu, will kill you too. I don't care about any Human Race Heavenly King or Heavenly King."
Zhu Yi was also furious. He had listened to these two talk for a long time, and it seemed that they didn't take him seriously at all.
Ji Xian, his body enveloped in Sword Light, asked again, "Daoist Friend, have you made up your mind?"
Gu Yuanqing looked at both sides and laughed, "Didn't you both get one thing wrong too?"
Ji Xian asked in confusion, "What is it?"
The two demons also looked over.
"Do you have the power to speak to me like that?" Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back on North Spring Mountain. With a thought, the aura of North Spring Mountain exploded even further, and the powerful aura caused the surrounding space to shake!
Everyone present, both human and demon, felt a jolt in their hearts upon seeing it, their pupils contracted, and an extreme sense of danger suddenly arose within them.
