I Just Wanted a Good Look at This World

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Daoist Yuechen's face was somewhat pale. "Does anyone else have any questions? This humble Daoist is about to run out of steam."

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Changbi.

After glancing around, Bai Changbi nodded slightly.

Chen Zongyao said, "Zhengfeng, you should stay in the Floating World and be careful in everything you do. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your family."

Chen Zhengfeng had a square face and looked upright. He said, "Father, rest assured, I know what to do."

He then smiled, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Then this junior will take his leave."

Daoist Yuechen pointed a finger at the mirror.

Chen Zhengfeng felt his Divine Soul rapidly retreating, as if bizarre and fantastical scenes flashed by, but he couldn't see them clearly at all. When his consciousness returned, he was back in Withered Paulownia Mountain.

Back in the mountains, Chen Zhengfeng looked rather grim. He felt as if his Divine Soul had been severely depleted, as if he had fallen a minor cultivation level.

Suddenly, everything blurred before my eyes, and I found myself in the North Spring Mountain, with Bai Xianghui standing beside me.

"Greetings, young master," Chen Zhengfeng bowed.

"How much of what you just said do you think they believed?" Gu Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Chen Zhengfeng hesitated for a moment. "Others might believe it to eight-tenths, but my father probably only believes it to three-tenths."

"Oh?"

Chen Zhengfeng knelt down as if in a state of utter fear and said, "Please forgive me, young master. After all, my father knows me too well; it would be difficult to deceive him."

Gu Yuanqing said indifferently, "Forget it. He is, after all, your father. Even if he has some ulterior motives, I won't bother to investigate. But if any problems arise in the end, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Chen Zhengfeng said with a smile, "Young master, rest assured, I will certainly not hinder your important matters. I am hoping that after the World Conflict, I can secure a place for the Chen Family in this realm."

Gu Yuanqing smiled noncommittally and said, "It's late at night. Your journey through the Underworld has taken a toll on your Divine Soul. You should go back and rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuanqing waved his hand, and both of them were sent back to their Mountain.

Blue Dragon Mountain.

Bai Xianghui sighed softly. He didn't know what Chen Zhengfeng had said in the past, but judging from the smile on Gu Yuanqing's face, it certainly wasn't a good thing for Slanting Moon World.

However, these thoughts were all suppressed in my heart, and I dared not think about them too much. Since I was just barely surviving in this world, I had no right to think about the affairs of the Floating World.

This time, the moment his Divine Soul stirred, Gu Yuanqing noticed it, which made him abandon all his thoughts.

Upon returning, Chen Zhengfeng's expression became even more solemn. After this incident, he would no longer have a place to stand in the Slanting Moon World.

If the truth is exposed in the future, neither the Wang Family, the Bai Clan, the Ji Family, nor even his own Chen Family will tolerate him.

Bai Xianghui and Tong Yuefei might still have a way out, but he doesn't.

He slowly walked Outer Realm, his hands behind his back, looking at the rankings on the Heavenly Ladder on the Heaven-Connecting Stele.

One Gu Yuanqing, Twenty-Five.

This indicates that Gu Yuanqing has passed the twenty-fifth step of the Heavenly Ladder, which also means that his strength has reached the Void Heaven Realm.

Gu Yuanqing's strength was a mystery to Chen Zhengfeng. Some things were beyond the capabilities of the Divine Platform and the Void Heaven Void Heaven Realm; only Celestial Person could solve them.

However, when they first arrived in this realm, Gu Yuanqing was at the 22nd level of Heaven and Earth and Earth. According to the Heavenly Ladder calculation, Gu Yuanqing's strength at that time was at the Divine Platform Seventh Level. But now, only eight years later, he has already crossed three levels in succession.

The Void Heaven Realm, a hurdle that even countless Cultivator from various Lineage in the Slanting Moon World could not overcome, was easily crossed by a young man in his fifties.

"As the old saying goes, a wise man knows when to yield. Although Young Master Gu resides in the Floating World, his methods are far more sophisticated than those of the Slanting Moon World. There are still over eighty years until the inter- World Conflict. By then, his cultivation will have reached an unknown level. Compared to him, the Slanting Moon World is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. My actions are merely to find a way out for the Chen Family."

"I imagine my father would approve of what I've done once he knows the situation. If I make the wrong choice in the end, the worst that can happen is that I, Chen Zhengfeng, will lose my life!"

He gazed into the distance, then suddenly muttered to himself, unsure whether it was an excuse or a genuine convincing statement.

In the North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing quietly gazed at the night sky.

Having achieved the Void Heaven Realm, he could now feel completely at peace.

"I still have eighty years. Eighty years is enough time for me to travel far on the Heavenly Dao to the Void. It's not impossible for me to even become Celestial Person. Even if I can't borrow the power of North Spring Mountain during the World Conflict, I have nothing to fear."

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing felt that his mind was completely relaxed. Since he was bound to North Spring Mountain, all sorts of things had happened one after another. It seemed that he had to face a new crisis every now and then. These crises forced him to keep moving forward on the path of cultivation.

Only today did he feel he could stop and appreciate the scenery along the way.

As his cultivation level broke through, he Mountain Observation again, and the feeling was completely different.

As his thoughts merged with North Spring Mountain, they then almost enveloped the entire Floating World. A feeling of omnipresent control arose in his mind, as if this Floating World had become his own Void Heaven Domain.

Without needing to deliberately Empowerment Object Control, one can easily manipulate the primordial Vital Energy and all things in the Boundary Domain.

With a thought, the summit of North Spring Mountain appeared in the Demon Realm.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back on the edge of the Cliff at the mountaintop, his thoughts rapidly extending to a distance of Five Thousand Li.

With its improved cultivation level, North Spring Mountain can now unleash even greater power.

At the same time, in the past, when he was riding North Spring Mountain, it felt a bit like he was holding a sledgehammer with both hands, and it was difficult to control it with finesse, but now he can Ruyi with ease.

If he were to face those Heavenly Human Great Demon from Five Poisons Mountain again, Gu Yuanqing felt that he would not need to use the Enchanted Sword at all; a single finger strike in mid-air would be enough to take their lives.

Suddenly, a wisp of Xiong Mo's Divine Soul appeared around North Spring Mountain.

"Daoist Friend, you have suddenly revealed your Immortal Mountain. Is there something you wish to do?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I didn't expect to disturb the clan leader. Actually, it's nothing. I just suddenly wanted to take a good look at this Boundary Domain. I've been here for decades, but I've never been able to calm my mind."

Xiong Mo was somewhat surprised. He still couldn't see through the aura within Within North Spring Mountain, but he could sense the tranquility and composure in Gu Yuanqing's heart at this moment through his Innate Divine Ability. It was as if he had the confidence to face everything without fear, completely unlike the inexplicable panic he always had before.

"It seems your cultivation has improved once again, Daoist Friend!" Xiong Mo exclaimed in admiration.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I've only gained a little."

Xiong Mo couldn't understand Gu Yuanqing even more, but he was still an ally, and his improved cultivation was a good thing for the Iron Eater Tribe.

"I wonder how those little fellows are doing now? Have they caused you any trouble Daoist Friend?"

Gu Yuanqing laughed heartily, "These little guys have all become the little tyrants of my mountains!"

With a wave of his hand, a Cloudmist dispersed from North Spring Mountain. Xiong Mo looked down and saw his little ones with shiny fur. Some were sitting and eating happily, while others were playing joyfully in the jungle. They seemed to have grown quite a bit since a year ago.
