The aura of the Sanyang Sect is easy to identify; every Spell Art they use carries a trace of pure Qi.

Gu Yuanqing's mind trembled as he tried to disperse the aura, but he found it extremely difficult to deal with, as if it was using Secret Method to lock onto his Divine Soul.

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly, and suddenly his domain changed.

Two energies, one yin and one yang, rose around them; this was the Innate Yin-Yang Great Dao.

It was Gu Yuanqing who comprehended the Forbidden Spell of the Demonic Dragon Clan, Dragon God Burial World.

Although its aura is far less refined than that of Forbidden Spell, this innate Yin-Yang Dao is far superior to ordinary Yin-Yang Great Dao.

With a single thought, it seemed to transform into Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

That subtle aura Void swiftly beneath the Yin-Yang millstone.

"These Sect disciples are indeed not to be underestimated. Although they were somewhat weak, they still managed to lay a trap for me before they died. Non-Self hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid I would have been surrounded and killed."

Gu Yuanqing did not want to confront Heavenly Human Level head-on for the time being, so he erased the tracking aura and quickly disappeared from the spot.

A gray figure moved through the Great Mountain.

Suddenly, he stopped atop a barren mountain.

This person was wearing Purple Robe, and the sleeve pattern of the Sanyang Sect was gold, which was the symbol of the Sanyang Sect Elder.

In his hand, he held Compass made of a Turtle Shell.

He would occasionally chant True Word to track the flow of energy.

Suddenly, the Compass needle began to spin erratically.

He frowned.

"Has the Spell Art been erased?"

Just then, a streak of light arrived from afar, zigzagged in the air, and Void a hundred feet in front of the middle-aged man in Purple Robe.

"Junior Brother Feng, have you found any trace of this fiend?"

"Senior Brother Chen, you've arrived too!"

"How could I not come? My disciple was almost beaten to a pulp. Non-Self hadn't begged the Sect Master for help, the entire Void Heaven Domain would have collapsed. How could I, as his master, allow him to be bullied like this?"

Is it that serious?

"Yes, it's been a long time since anyone dared to provoke our Sanyang Sect like this. The Sect Master is furious. This time, no matter who it is, even if they're from the Primordial Divine Sect, they will have to give us an explanation!"

"Indeed, an explanation is necessary. If it were a contest between peers, it would be one Outmatched outmatched, but for a dignified Celestial Person to attack a disciple of my Sanyang Sect is going too far. However, this person is an expert in concealment; I have been searching for him for over an hour without finding a trace."

Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. He wanted to turn back to the Boundless River, but he hadn't found an opportunity yet.

The number of Celestial Person searching for him had increased to three. Although they could not pinpoint his exact location, they seemed to be able to sense it roughly. The three of them split up and flew in mid-air, their Divine Sense sweeping across the ground.

Several times, Gu Yuanqing almost gave himself away.

Seeing that they could not escape the encirclement silently, and were instead forced to flee to a place further away from the Boundless River.

Gu Yuanqing finally made a decision.

"Very well, it's been almost half a year since I last returned to the Floating World. Since I can't leave, I might as well find a safe place to leave the Ancient Realm."

Having made his decision, Gu Yuanqing hid all his belongings underground and then disappeared into the center of a Great Mountain.

He communicated with his Physical Body through his thoughts, and left the Ancient Realm, carrying with him the various Dao Resonance that had merged with his Divine Soul.

Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body, Gu Yuanqing's physique immediately underwent changes.

A surge of vital Vital Energy coursed through his body, causing winds to rise and clouds to surge within the Void Heaven World, and water to swirl across the land.

Gu Yuanqing immediately understood the reason.

"The insights into Water Dao from my Profound Tier Dao Soul have slightly skewed my Five Elements Dao Resonance in terms of the principles of mutual generation and restraint. However, fortunately, my foundation is solid, so there's nothing to worry about."

Having not returned to his Physical Body for more than half a year, Gu Yuanqing felt a slight sense of unfamiliarity with Physical Body.

He sat quietly in the main hall, slowly integrating the various Dao Resonance he had Divine Soul into the Void Heaven World.

Entering the Ancient Realm is merely Divine Soul; everything there, including the Void Heaven World, is simply a reflection of one's own power.

Therefore, although it is true to gain enlightenment through it, one must transform the enlightenment and the Dao Resonance gained back into real spiritual practice after returning to the Physical Body.

In the perception of the Divine Soul, a Void and indistinct Void Heaven World slowly merges with the Void Heaven World within the Physical Body.

Gu Yuanqing felt his cultivation level increasing rapidly, and the Void Heaven World was constantly becoming more perfect as it was filled with Dao Resonance.

A few vague seeds of Spirituality are gradually being born as the various Dao Resonance strengthen.

This sitting went on for another ten days or so.

Gu Yuanqing finally opened his eyes, his eyelids filled with a mixture of Spiritual Qi and illusory thoughts.

He stood up, hands behind his back, looking up at the Horizon.

"The place I've returned to might still be found by them. It seems best not to rush in anytime soon, lest we fall into an ambush."

"What a hassle!"

Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. In the past six months, thanks to the Dao Soul he had fished out, his understanding of various Great Dao had advanced by leaps and bounds. Being suddenly interrupted made him somewhat annoyed.

"Forget it, since it's not advisable to go in for the time being, let's just take a break and balance work and rest."

He slowly walked out of the main hall and strolled along the mountain path, looking at the familiar scenery of the Mountain.

I saw Gungun playing happily in the Mountain.

Watching the Little White Fox sneak into Li Chengyi's room again.

They saw the demonic tiger, which already resembled the king of beasts, being knocked to the ground by an antelope.

Gu Yuanqing was unaware of this; it seemed that none of this had left a mark on his mind, as if he had simply "seen" it.

"This old servant greets the young master! The young master has emerged from the pass?" Aunt Feng knelt down with great joy.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Auntie, you go about your business, don't worry about me, I'm just taking a walk."

As Aunt Feng watched Gu Yuanqing's retreating figure, her brows furrowed slightly.

"I feel like the young master is different from before, but I can't quite put my finger on it." She was puzzled.

Three days later, Aunt Feng ran into Gu Yuanqing again.

"Young master, today is the Moon Eve Festival of the Great Qian. Would you like something to eat? This old servant will make you something, and I'll have Drunken Immortal Residence send some good wine over later."

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly, "No need."

This time, Aunt Feng finally sensed that something was wrong. Although the young master seemed no different from before, there was a sense of distance between him and the mortal world.

The smiles of the past came from the heart and were very warm; now, they seem to be just politeness.

Thinking about this made Aunt Feng feel uneasy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but hurry down the mountain and find Li Shi'an.

Gu Yuanqing lay on Chair in the courtyard, Mountain Gazing Enlightenment, completely absorbed in the moment.

He vaguely heard what Aunt Feng and Li Shi'an were saying, but he didn't pay any attention. How could such mundane matters compare to spiritual practice?

Various Great Dao flowed through his mind, and compared to the past, he now seemed to be able to feel the Dao Resonance more deeply, and seemed to be more in harmony with the Dao.

The next day, Li Shi'an paid his respects.

"Young Master Gu, you..."

Upon seeing Gu Yuanqing, Li Shi'an immediately noticed the difference from before, and his expression changed slightly.

"Senior, there's no need to worry. I'm fine now; it's just that I've been in seclusion for too long," Gu Yuanqing said with a faint smile.
