Ao Guang's Furious Frustration
With no more external enemies around North Spring Mountain, disappearing into the Void, Gu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fighting against Divine Platform beings with the body of a Celestial Person and wielding such immense power takes a tremendous toll on one's mental and physical well-being.
Fortunately, this matter was resolved more smoothly than expected.
Especially in the final battle, the Demon Beast that Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change actually walked right into his trap, which was truly unexpected and saved him a lot of trouble.
This rhinoceros is no ordinary beast. Although Gu Yuanqing's palm strike, formed from the power of North Spring Mountain, was intended to lure the enemy deeper and was not delivered with full force, it should still be enough to contend with the Eagle King and Zhu Yi from before.
But when it was applied to him, it had absolutely no effect.
If we were to fight outside North Spring Mountain, we might not be able to defeat them.
"I thought I might have to break through to the Void Heaven Realm to cope with the changes, but I didn't expect to save myself the trouble. The power of North Spring Mountain is much stronger than I anticipated."
"Looks like I'm the one who dragged the team down!"
After this battle, Gu Yuanqing gained a general understanding of his strength with the help of North Spring Mountain. Within 500 li, he could fight against Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change; within 1,000 li, he had the strength of Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change expert; and within 2,000 li, he could easily defeat an ordinary Celestial Person.
What limits all of this is one's own Divine Soul Power.
Gu Yuan smiled. It was a good thing that he didn't have to force his way through to the Void Heaven. The more Perfection each realm was, the easier the road ahead would be.
Otherwise, they would end up like those demons of Five Poisons Mountain, who found the path to becoming Celestial Person but ultimately dared not undergo the Tribulation Lightning, leaving them at the bottom of the Celestial Person in terms of strength.
"Hopefully, things will be more peaceful in the Demon Realm after this. Although there doesn't seem to be anything to fear, the constant noise outside is just too annoying."
It was still night in the Floating World. Gu Yuanqing looked up at the Crown Prince's Residence, where the banquet was still going on.
He smiled slightly, returned to the house, sat cross-legged in Mountain Observation state, and began to nourish and restore his Divine Soul.
North Spring Mountain was quiet; apart from him, no one knew that a great battle had just taken place there.
Aunt Feng was practicing her swordplay under the moonlight. Li Shi'an, Ji Dai, and Prince Qing were still in Fengtian City and had not yet returned.
Qin Wuya abandoned his original Heavenly Demon Sword Cultivation Method and began cultivating anew. His cultivation level returned to the initial stage of Dao Fire. Although he was a step behind Cultivator of the same level back then, at least he no longer had to worry about being possessed by someone else.
At the foot of the mountain, the Cultivator who had been arranged by the Great Qian Dynasty to cultivate here were making the most of every minute and second. Even though the Spiritual Qi Outer Realm was not weak at this time, it was still far inferior to that Within North Spring Mountain.
Gu Yuanqing looked up at the Heaven-Connecting Stele Heavenly Ladder rankings above the Heavenly Stele.
In the past seven years, the development of the Floating World has been remarkable.
With the guidance of the three people from the Slanting Moon World, the path of cultivation no longer required them to fumble their way out on their own.
Dao Embryo Realm Cultivator are springing up everywhere like mushrooms after rain, numbering over two thousand to date; Dao Fire Cultivator number over eighty; and Divine Platform Cultivator number seven.
While this is still insignificant compared to the Exquisite World, it represents a dramatic change compared to the past.
Children born in recent years, in particular, are far more gifted than their predecessors.
Back then, Li Miaoxuan True Martial at the age of ten, unparalleled in the world. But today, while not commonplace, she is no longer a rare sight.
These are all changes brought about by the alteration of the Heavenly Ladder and Spiritual Qi.
As Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level increased, North Spring Mountain's coverage of this realm expanded, encompassing almost all nine layers of the Floating World.
With the conclusion of this great battle, Gu Yuanqing felt much more confident. The Floating World was different from the Demon Realm. In the Demon Realm, the distance for battle was limited by the Divine Soul, but in the Floating World, North Spring Mountain was connected to the Earth Vein. As long as one was within the range of the Mountain Observation, one could borrow the power of North Spring Mountain.
In other words, even if Great Cultivator has undergone the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change arrives, unless he hides at the edge of the Floating World, Gu Yuanqing has nothing to fear.
The stability of his base allowed him to set aside his concerns.
The only variable, perhaps, is that space atop the mountain, which could crumble at any moment.
In the Demon Realm.
In the central Sacred Hall atop the Sacred Mountain, at the heart of the Four Great Dynasties.
The old man in Purple Robe robes sat cross-legged beneath the Cave Heaven Profound Pearl.
Ji Xian entered the hall.
"Hall Master."
The old man in Purple Robe opened his eyes, his Heavenly Secrets revealing profound and unfathomable secrets.
I've seen what happened; it's not your fault.
Ji Xian smiled wryly, "In the end, I miscalculated. A great Cultivator comparable to the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change is far too important to our Human Race."
The Purple Robe elder smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. Our Human Race has endured countless hardships to survive to this day, and the current situation cannot be controlled by just one or two experts."
"Hall Master, what should we do with this person afterward?"
The old man in Purple Robe stood up and turned to look at the Cave Profound Heavenly Pearl.
"Since he's unwilling to come out of seclusion to help, so be it. We don't have much time left."
Ji Xian took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed getting more and more urgent. In recent days, the Demonic Qi seems to be nearly 10% thicker than it was twenty years ago. The major cities are still okay, but outside the towns, more and more cultivators are going mad and falling into demonic possession. At night, the Beasts of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are attacking Human Race more and more frequently, and their strength is growing much faster than in previous years. The situation of Human Race is getting worse and worse."
The Purple Robe elder sighed softly, "The Outer Realm is actually not too bad. The Underground Cave riots have increased by 30% compared to last year. Our two Heavenly King of the Heaven-Born Sacred Hall have to be stationed in the Underground Cave for extended periods. During the riot the other day, four Devil Beast at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change the Heavenly Transformation Realm attacked the front lines, King Chen almost died."
"The situation in the Underground Cave has deteriorated to this extent?" Ji Xian's expression changed slightly. He mainly dealt with affairs between the Human Race and Demon Race races, and also maneuvered among the various Dynasty. He didn't have much energy to pay attention to the Underground Cave. King Chen, whose name was Chen Kui, was even stronger than him, yet he almost died.
The Purple Robe elder nodded and said, "According to my calculations, at most fifteen years later, our Human Race will have to shrink its defensive lines. If we cannot leave this Boundary Domain within thirty years, we may have no choice but to abandon the Underground Cave Human Race retreat to the east, abandoning half of the Boundary Domain."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xian's expression completely lost its composure, and his Dao Heart pounded violently a few times.
In the heart of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Tiger Lord withdrew his gaze, his brows furrowing slightly. Although Dragon Rhinoceros was not very bright, he was still Great Demon who had undergone Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change. Even he would have to put in some effort to deal with him, but he had not even made a ripple in the mountains.
The strength of the human race in that mountain was somewhat unexpected; their power was probably among the top three of the human race's Heavenly Kings.
That mountain also had a problem; its Pupil Technique couldn't detect any information at all.
"Human Race are such a nuisance! This Array Formation is incredibly annoying!"
Tiger Lord shook his head, then looked at Demonic Dragon Mountain with a smile. This matter wasn't his problem, but rather the one on the mountain.
Demonic Dragon Mountain.
Ao Guang was first dumbfounded, then his face darkened to an extreme, and he roared in exasperation, "Useless! Utterly useless! It actually charged into the Human Race's Array Formation like that? What was it thinking? We spent so much effort to help it break through to the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm, and it just fell into the hands of a Human Race like that?"
