The Illusionary Spirit Sect's residence
The strong smell of alcohol filled my nostrils and mouth; it felt like just one breath would make me drunk.
Gu Yuanqing was somewhat surprised; his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye had failed to see through this world.
Even though we can't draw on the power of North Spring Mountain here, the Spell Art the Void Piercing Heavenly Eye is no ordinary technique. It combines several Celestial Person Cultivation Method and incorporates Spatial Dao Charm into it.
A Cultivator at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change Exquisite World n't be able to deceive this technique.
Looking at the group from the Sanyang Sect, although they were only a few miles apart, at this moment they felt as if they were separated from Gu Yuanqing by thousands of miles.
Chen Baotian of the Sanyang Sect roared, "Shang Ziyin, do you want to start a war with my Sanyang Sect?"
Gu Yuanqing suddenly felt someone appear beside him. He turned his head and saw Yi Yunbo emerge from the water.
He laughed and said, "This is Uncle Shang's Heavenly Human Realm, Wine Realm forged by combining our sect's methods of refining the Refining the False into the True true, plus High Antiquity artifacts and magic Law Treasure. Even Mighty Figure who Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change would have to avoid its edge."
During his time in the Ancient Realm, Gu Yuanqing had also heard of the Illusionary Spirit Sect Sect's methods, which could be summarized in eight words: "Refining the False into the True, and Virtual and Real Giving Rise to Each Other."
Gu Yuanqing exclaimed, "Truth and illusion intertwine, Seeking Spirit within Illusion. This Boundary Domain is far more exquisite than ordinary Illusion Technique or dream worlds. I have truly witnessed its wonders today."
Yi Yunbo laughed loudly, "Our sect's art is to seek Seeking Truth within Illusion and Seeking Spirit within Truth, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary Spell Art. Come with me, Daoist Friend. The Sanyang Sect is, after all, Sect, and there are many experts here by the Boundless River. They must have already heard the news and rushed here. It is already beyond my expectations that my Uncle has taken action, but my Illusionary Spirit Sect would never fight a war with the Sanyang Sect because of an outsider. Daoist Friend, do not delay. Let's return to our Sect's Residence first to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."
Gu Yuanqing glanced at the people from the Sanyang Sect and smiled, "Thank Daoist Friend."
He was not afraid of conflict with the Sanyang Sect; he was simply avoiding it to avoid affecting his cultivation.
For Gu Yuanqing, the Ancient Realm was merely a place of fortuitous opportunity, so he didn't need to swallow his pride.
He was just about to make a move when the Illusionary Spirit Sect intervened in the battle.
He had no reason to refuse this kindness, and followed Yi Yunbo as they broke through the waves.
In the blink of an eye, the scenery changed, and we were back on the Boundless River.
Looking back, one could see a woman in a red dress sitting leisurely on the back of Immortal Crane, Wine Gourd hanging high above her. The entire area, spanning nearly a hundred miles, was enveloped by this Boundary Domain, transforming the world.
The three members of the Sanyang Sect struggled to hold on amidst the towering waves.
Gu Yuanqing looked at Shang Ziyin with surprise in his eyes, thinking to himself, "It seems that not everyone in the Exquisite World is a waste; there are some exceptionally talented individuals. It seems we cannot underestimate the experts in this realm, or we will suffer greatly in the future, especially with these Ancient Artifact..."
"Let's go, Daoist Friend. Since you've come to the Boundless River, you've probably never been within the territory Residence our sect before. Now that we have some free time, perhaps I can take you to see it."
Gu Yuanqing bowed respectfully to Shang Ziyin, and then Yi Yunbo quickly walked away.
Halfway there, two streaks of light flashed across the sky.
Yi Yunbo said, "It should be Celestial Person from the Sanyang Sect."
"Hmm!" Gu Yuanqing nodded and asked, "With so many Celestial Person passing by, will your senior uncle be alright?"
Yi Yunbo laughed, "Unless those few cultivators from the Sanyang Sect who are in seclusion in the Mountain come over, nothing serious will happen. Uncle Shang is not someone that just anyone would dare to provoke. No matter how aggrieved the Sanyang Sect is this time, they can only endure it."
Gu Yuanqing glanced back at the woman in the red dress again. Judging from Yi Yunbo's words, this Shang Ziyin seemed to be more than she appeared.
"Arrive!"
After crossing a boundary marker, Yi Yunbo breathed a sigh of relief, and his figure reappeared from his Evasion Technique.
"Once we cross this boundary, even if the Sanyang Sect is incredibly bold, they won't dare to act recklessly!" Yi Yunbo laughed.
The two had already slowed their pace.
Gu Yuanqing looked towards the Boundless River and saw that there were many more people fishing in this area compared to downstream.
Yi Yunbo noticed Gu Yuanqing's gaze and laughed, "I don't know who spread the news, but it says that the great fortune of the Boundless River is coming, attracting Ancient Realm Cultivators in droves, more than double the usual number!"
Gu Yuanqing smiled enigmatically, "Doing business while seated is best done with a large group of people. Isn't that more in line with your Sect's wishes?"
Yi Yunbo chuckled and said, "Daoist Friend, please don't misunderstand. This statement didn't originate from my Illusionary Spirit Sect. In fact, the Sect Elder have already issued statements to clarify this."
"I'm afraid the more you clarify, the more people will believe you, right?"
Yi Yunbo shrugged. "There's nothing we can do about it!"
"This is the Human Heart!" Gu Yuanqing said.
Yi Yunbo laughed a few times, then said seriously, "Brother Gu, come back to our Residence with me first. I have already reported to the Sect about recommending you to become Guest Elder. It was fine before, but this time Uncle Shang took action and fought against the Sanyang Sect Heavenly Human, which will probably attract a lot of attention. Daoist Friend, please don't disappoint me."
"I will do my best," Gu Yuanqing said calmly.
Yi Yunbo gave Gu Yuanqing a deep look. Just now, facing the Sanyang Sect Heavenly Human, this Daoist Friend Gu was so composed. He wondered where Gu, who had not yet become a Celestial Person Being, got his confidence. Was he betting that the Illusionary Spirit Sect would intervene on his behalf?
After walking a while longer, the previously barren ground suddenly began to turn green. In the distance, towering trees stood tall, the fragrance of flowers and grass wafted through the air, and various birds and beasts frolicked about, creating a completely different scene from the Boundless River.
Gu Yuanqing was more concerned with the changes in the aura and Dao Resonance between this region and the Outer Realm.
Yi Yunbo noticed the surprise in Gu Yuanqing's eyes and smiled, "It would be so boring to live in a place with all the same scenery, so the Sect's seniors put some thought into it."
Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "Indeed extraordinary!"
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived before a Great Mountain. In the distance, amidst the forests, Cloudmist swirled, and pavilions and towers were interspersed, resembling a Immortal Mountain.
Gu Yuanqing stood in front of a Memorial Archway, but did not take a step for a long time.
"What's wrong, Daoist Friend?" Yi Yunbo asked in surprise.
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the Memorial Archway. A faint, almost imperceptible Qi of danger emanated from within.
"I won't go into the gate of your sect's Residence. There are houses and inns outside, so I'll stay here."
Yi Yunbo guessed the reason and laughed, "Daoist Friend still has some concerns. Well, as you get to know me better in the future, you'll understand my character."
"Daoist Friend, please don't overthink it. I just don't like being constrained."
"It's alright, Daoist Friend, you can wander around outside. I'll return to the Sect's Sect Residence report to the elders before coming to find you. The challenge of the Divine Fishing Ranking should begin early tomorrow morning. The Sect will open an Ancient Fishing Platform for this purpose. Daoist Friend, please be prepared. This matter concerns both of us, so please be cautious."
"I can handle it myself!" Gu Yuanqing cupped his hands in greeting.
Yi Yunbo returned the greeting, turned and entered the Memorial Archway, then headed up the mountain.
A moment later, they arrived at a Courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"He didn't come up with you?" Qiu Ziqing asked.
"No, it seems you have some concerns," Yi Yunbo said.
Qiu Ziqing snorted lightly, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "He's just a Void Heaven cultivator. If my Illusionary Spirit Sect really wanted to make things difficult for him, do you think he could escape without even entering the sect gates?"
