Those watching looked at Gu Yuanqing Yi Yunbo as if they were important figures.

Gu Yuanqing was a complete stranger, but the fact that he could kill a master from the Golden Peak Hall and force Shen Yandong to abandon everything and flee the Ancient Realm clearly showed that his strength was unfathomable.

In the Exquisite World, the top ten are considered super Sect.

Along the Boundless River, the most noteworthy place is Illusionary Spirit Sect.

Compared to ordinary Sect, Void Heaven Great Cultivator can become Elder.

Sects like the Primordial Divine Sect, the Illusionary Spirit Sect, and the Sanyang Sect exist, but there is only one possibility to become True Disciple: one must possess the appearance of Celestial Person being.

Therefore, every True Disciple of these major Sect is a figure of importance in the Exquisite World, and no one wants to offend them. Regardless of their background or whether they are currently a match for someone, the key is that you never know if one day they might suddenly become Celestial Person.

"That's rare. Daoist Friend has changed his ways many times, avoiding us like the plague. Now you want to have a chat? Have you changed your mind?" Yi Yunbo said with a calm smile.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "I only intended to cultivate alone, but it seems things haven't gone as planned. However, I'm not interested in Outer Sect Attendant sect elder of your sect, but I wonder if there's any opportunity for me to become Guest Elder?"

Yi Yunbo's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Does Your Excellency know what the title of ' Guest Elder ' signifies in my Illusionary Spirit Sect?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. It'll just be a bit more troublesome later."

Yi Yunbo was silent for a moment, as if considering, then turned to look around and said, "Shall we find a quiet place to talk?"

"Very well, the Motion and Stillness just now was quite significant. A large crowd will likely gather here soon. The Boundless River is your sect's Residence; please lead the way, Daoist Friend."

"Then you'd better keep up, Daoist Friend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Yunbo's figure, who had been standing atop the rock, suddenly vanished with the wind, disappearing without a trace.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze fell on a distance of several miles, then he took a few steps forward and said calmly, "Brother Yi, your movement technique is quite fast; I almost couldn't keep up."

Caught in the wind, his movements ethereal and unpredictable, Yi Yunbo laughed loudly, "If you can't even keep up with this, then there's probably no need to talk about anything else."

When I looked again, the figure in the wind had disappeared.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes were fixed on the ground six miles away, and then he took a few steps forward and said, "This earth escape technique seems different from ordinary earth escape?"

"The Illusionary Spirit Sect Sect's methods naturally have their unique aspects; otherwise, they wouldn't dare occupy the second position in the Exquisite World!" Yi Yunbo emerged from the rocks, glancing at Gu Yuanqing as he walked, and said, "As for Daoist Friend movement technique, I've never seen it on anyone else before. I'm quite Daoist Friend about your background."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding Flame suddenly erupted from his body, Flame then his figure vanished without a trace.

Gu Yuanqing was not surprised. He took a few steps calmly and then walked gracefully across the rocks.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Daoist Friend?" Yi Yunbo suddenly appeared.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "I thought you wanted to test me a bit more."

Yi Yunbo glanced at Gu Yuanqing with a complicated expression and said, "Although we have never directly fought, I should be no match for you. You have seen through my movements several times, and any further attempts to test me will only make you look foolish."

Gu Yuanqing said, "Brother Yi is too modest. You're only at the Void Heaven Peak, just one step away from becoming Celestial Person."

"Shen Yandong, who is only half a step away from becoming Celestial Person, couldn't even withstand a single move from you, so what is my Void Heaven Peak compared to him?"

"A high realm doesn't necessarily mean strong strength. For example, if Shen Yandong were to encounter Brother Yi, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage either, would he?"

Yi Yunbo smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just an ordinary Sect. Its influence on the Great Dao Boundary Domain is nothing to be ashamed of. However, Daoist Friend should have heard that to become Guest Elder my Illusionary Spirit Sect, one needs to reach the Celestial Person Realm. Although you are strong, you don't seem to be a Celestial Daoist Friend cultivator yet, do Celestial Person?"

Gu Yuanqing said, "I have heard about this, but I've also heard that there is another way to become Guest Elder of your sect?"

Yi Yunbo stopped in his tracks, looked at Gu Yuanqing, and said in a deep voice, "You want to challenge the Divine Fishing Ranking?"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Brother Yi, you sought me out for my fishing skills, didn't you? Don't you think this path suits me well? Besides, Brother Yi, there's no need to feign surprise. If you hadn't already anticipated this, there probably wouldn't have been this contest just now."

Yi Yunbo smiled and said, "The Divine Fishing Ranking is not about the number of Dao Soul caught, but the quality of the Dao Soul caught. Daoist Friend is not Celestial Person, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to catch Dao Soul of Above Earth Tier, right?"

Gu Yuanqing said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

Yi Yunbo stared intently at Gu Yuanqing: "Each True Disciple has only one spot to recommend Guest Elder in their lifetime. What benefit would it bring me if Daoist Friend wanted me to use this spot on you? Moreover, if you fail, it would mean that I misjudged people, and the Sect would forever be missing an ally."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "If I become Guest Elder, you shouldn't have to worry too much about the Daoist Friend Dao Soul you need for your future cultivation."

Yi Yunbo shook his head and said, "That's not enough. Every disciple of my Illusionary Spirit Sect is proficient in the art of fishing for Dao Soul. Even if they are not as skilled as you, Daoist Friend, since we are stationed here, we don't need to worry about this."

"That depends on your choice, Daoist Friend. If it doesn't work out, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yi Yunbo was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoist Friend, would you be willing to tell me your background?"

"Are you worried that I'm a spy for another Sect?"

"That's not it. Guest Elder don't participate in the Sect affairs, and my Illusionary Spirit Sect fears no one. But since you want me to make a recommendation, I should at least know who you are. Is that too much to ask?"

"This request isn't unreasonable, but as a small sect, revealing our identities would only cause trouble, and I dislike trouble the most. In that case, I'll consider myself an intruder!" Gu Yuanqing cupped his hands in greeting, then gracefully withdrew without any hesitation.

Yi Yunbo watched Gu Yuanqing's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly. A sudden jolt went through him, as if he were about to lose some crucial fortuitous opportunity. He gritted his teeth and cried out, "Daoist Friend, wait!"

Gu Yuanqing stopped and turned around, looking at Yi Yunbo with surprise.

Yi Yunbo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I hope you won't disappoint me, Daoist Friend!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I can't guarantee that."

Yi Yunbo's lips twitched inwardly. "Is it too late for me to regret this now?"

"Of course, Brother Yi, you are a disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. I dare not force you."

Yi Yunbo seemed to be torn between Celestial Person conflicting emotions. After a long while, he sighed, "Enough, enough. I always feel that if I don't recommend you, I'll have lost something important and regret it deeply. I don't know if it's just a hallucination caused by my own thoughts, but my Illusionary Spirit Sect has always followed its own heart in cultivation. If I let you leave today, this matter might become Heart Demon in the future."

Gu Yuanqing looked at Yi Yunbo with surprise upon hearing this.
