Returning to the Ancient Realm

The blood in the bottle flowed like liquid mercury.

Once Gu Yuanqing released some of the suppression, it seemed to transform into a dragon, like a living being.

Dragon Blood is an excellent material for alchemy, and the Dragon Blood of Great Cultivator at the Yin-Yang Realm is considered a rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

When Gu Yuanqing severed the Dragon Demon Ancestor's arm, the blood that fell onto the trees caused them to mutate.

The fruit it produces can stimulate the bloodline of demons, and can also temper the Physical Body and speed up the circulation of Qi and Blood, thus improving one's aptitude.

This blood-collecting scene happens almost every ten days or so!

Seeing that Gu Yuanqing was about to throw it back into the Heaven and Earth Pool, the Dragon Demon Ancestor hurriedly shouted, "Daoist Friend, wait a moment! Let's talk."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Have you thought it through?"

The Dragon Demon Ancestor gritted his teeth and said, "I Heavenly Dao Oath that I will obey your every command."

Gu Yuanqing remained unmoved and said, "You only have two choices: either release your Divine Soul so I can implant Soul Seal, or stay here and become my alchemy material."

The Dragon Demon Ancestor was listless. In this Heaven and Earth Pool, most of his Demonic Qi had been dissipated, and his Essence Blood had been extracted one after another. He felt as if his cultivation level was about to regress.

Ordinary Demon Race whose foundations are not yet established can wash away their Demonic Qi and Transformation their foundations into Spirit Beast in this pool. However, for Great Demon like him who has achieved Great Accomplishment success in cultivation, this may not be a good thing.

Upon hearing what Gu Yuanqing said, it still hesitated. Although making a vow to Heavenly Dao and planting a Divine Soul Seal seemed similar, they were actually completely different.

The oath of Heavenly Dao is merely to obey orders, and there may be ways to circumvent it in the future. However, if Divine Soul Seal is planted, life and Life and Death will be in the hands of others, and every move will be sensed by the master of the Soul Seal, leaving no room for self-respect.

It was Great Demon of the Yin-Yang Realm, and had been the Demon Emperor for thousands of years. It had always been the one who held the power of Life and Death people, and never imagined that it would fall into such a state today.

Seeing his expression, Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Since you haven't thought it through, take your time. I'm not in a hurry!"

Without waiting for a reply, he threw it back into the Heaven and Earth Pool.

Subsequently, Gu Yuanqing summoned the Dragon Rhinoceros and the Luo Yu of the Asura Race. Both of these were at the Third Heavenly Human Tribulation, and although their flesh and blood were not as good as the Dragon Blood, they were still of great use.

The pills refined from the blood of a special Asura can unleash the full potential of the body, whether used to enhance strength in times of crisis or to break through limits during cultivation.

What's most remarkable is that it doesn't harm the body's foundation after use; it only weakens the body's vital Vital Energy Qi and Blood, requiring time to recover.

Both of these, Dragon Rhinoceros had already submitted. However, the Floating World could not accommodate the existence of the Third Heavenly Human Tribulation. Releasing him back to the Demon Realm would be of no use. Furthermore, controlling and condensing the Soul Seal required diverting Divine Sense. Gu Yuanqing was still far from the Third Heavenly Human Tribulation and would also be a burden. He still wanted to stay on the Dragon Demon Ancestor.

As for Luo Yu, as an Asura, he seemed to have long since disregarded Life and Death, and had no intention of submitting whatsoever. According to him, Asura will never be slaves, and he was at the mercy of others to kill or torture them.

Back in the Alchemy Hall, Gu Yuanqing refined some Spirit Elixir, adding Spirit Tempering Pill made with Dragon Blood. This pill, classified as Third Rank- grade elixir, attracted Heavenly Tribulation tribulation, its effects being highly beneficial to both Celestial Person.

Gu Yuanqing kept the Restoration Pill that were useful to him and gave the rest to Li Chengyi.

After resting for two days, he adjusted himself to his best condition, then sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Hall, opened layers of Spatial Barrier, expanded his domain, sensed the Void Realm through the Void Heaven World, and then escaped into the Ancient Realm.

Cultivating enlightenment alone is too slow. With the Red Dust Wine in hand, going to the Boundless River to cultivate Dao Soul is naturally the best choice for Gu Yuanqing.

Within the Ancient Realm, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes.

He was now on a platform above an underground fissure. He reached into the stone, broke the Concealment Formation within, and took out the Heavenly Human Token, Fishing Gear, and Ancient Coin.

He then used the Earth Evasion Technique to walk to the ground.

More than a year has passed since the initial conflict, and it is clear that the Celestial Person of the Sanyang Sect and the Four Symbols Sect are not patient enough to wait any longer.

Gu Yuanqing used his Wind Escape technique to float away, arriving at a certain place where he probed with his Divine Sense.

Just as he was about to take a look at the items he had hidden, he suddenly sensed something unusual, so he withdrew his Divine Sense and quickly left.

"The items here have likely been taken. The Celestial Person left behind a sensing array, which will be detected once touched. I was being careful, but perhaps I was still noticed."

He entered the Ancient Realm in search of fortuitous opportunity, not to engage in pointless battles. Even if the Law Treasure and artifacts hidden there were extremely valuable, they would be of little use to him.

After all, isn't Dao Soul something you can just get by fishing?

Beside the Illusionary Spirit Sect Residence, on an Primordial Fishing Platform, an old man suddenly looked up.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"The Formation I left behind has been activated."

"Could it be that the thief who injured Senior Brother Zhuang has entered this realm?" the young man beside him asked.

The old man said calmly, "I'll go take a look."

He then retrieved his Fishing Gear, leaped into the air, and vanished in a flash of light.

A moment later.

Gu Yuanqing arrived at the Boundless River, but his attire and appearance had changed compared to before, and even his aura was quite different.

These Spell Art were extremely easy for him, having practiced the Formless Heart Sutra of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Although the soul is inherently difficult to discern, if one remembers his Divine Soul aura and carefully distinguishes it, one can still recognize him. But at least this way, most of the trouble can be avoided.

Moreover, given Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level, unless one is at the Void Heaven Peak or above, or Zhuang Tianlai who has personally fought against him, it would be difficult for him to see through Gu Yuanqing's disguise.

The Boundless River stretches for a long time. Although many Cultivator come here, they can travel along the river and soon find a secluded spot to start fishing.

The Dao Bait, created by imitating the Heavenly Angling Technique, is extremely tempting to the Dao Soul in the Boundless River.

That fragrance was not merely a strange scent that one could smell, but rather a kind of charm reminiscent of the Great Dao, which, to the Dao Soul, was like an attraction to the Dao Law that resonated with oneself.

Less than a quarter of an hour after casting the fishing line, a fish about five feet long took the bait. The fish was entirely red, and its belly seemed to be burning with Flame; it was the Fireway Dao Soul.

A year ago, Gu Yuanqing had Refinement Top-Grade Profound Tier Waterway Dao Soul, which is why his understanding of the Way of Water Essence far surpasses that of others. This time, he naturally came to make up for his shortcomings in understanding other Dao Resonance.

Only in this way can the various Dao Resonance of one's own Void Heaven World be balanced, in order to achieve a perfect and harmonious rhythm.

Before coming, he considered the order in which he would comprehend the Dao Resonance, taking into account Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, and his own situation.

For others, even if they had this idea, it would be difficult to put it into practice. Not to mention that Dao Soul are inherently difficult to catch, and they are only interested in bait that matches one's own Dao Resonance.

For example, Cultivator who are proficient in the Way of Water Essence use Fishing Bait refined from their own Dao Resonance to fish, and the most they catch are Waterway Dao Soul. However, if they want to fish for earth-type Dao Soul, it is almost impossible, even if they buy Dao Bait from the Illusionary Spirit Sect, because the Dao Bait they buy still needs to be activated by their own Dao.

The only way might be to trade in the Market Ward.

Gu Yuanqing, however, had no such worries. He possessed the ability to Mountain Observation and had a broad Dao Resonance. When fishing, he only needed to change the Dao Bait according to his own needs!

After Refinement the Fire Dao Soul, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes and then sensed the changes within himself.

"The influence of the Yellow-Tier Dao Soul on my consciousness is limited, but given the lessons learned from the past, I should still be more careful. At most, I will leave the Ancient Realm in a month or so to drink the Red Dust Wine to eliminate any hidden dangers and to allow my Dao Resonance to settle."

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a streak of light traveling through the air, descending along the Boundless River, as Divine Sense was sweeping over it.
