The vanished name
"What happened?"
With such Motion and Stillness, it was impossible for it to go unnoticed.
However, for most Cultivator who are at the Dao Embryo or Dao Fire Realm, there is no way to discern its source; they can only sense the Spiritual Qi rapidly converging in one direction.
Only a few Cultivator nearby discovered the source of the problem, but the warning from their Dao Heart made them dare not go and investigate.
The extent of the change is beyond their control.
This situation continued for most of the day until a message reached Li Chengyi.
Seeing that Cheng Yi's expression was off, Li Haotian asked, "Cheng Yi, what happened?"
Li Chengyi said in a deep voice, "At the summit of Long Mountain, Three Thousand Li away from here, Spiritual Qi is gathering, covering an area of over a thousand miles."
Li Shi'an's expression turned serious. "Over a thousand miles? The Spiritual Qi in this realm is abundant now. Even with my full strength, my Divine Platform Fourth Level can only stir up Spiritual Qi within a few miles. My Divine Platform Ninth Layer, even with the help of Formation, can only cover a hundred miles. Is this some extraordinary treasure or a powerful expert who has come to this realm?"
Li Chengyi said, "The Divine Platform master of the Heavenly Policy Mansion has already gone to inquire, and we should know soon."
At the foot of Long Mountain.
Void Form moved across the ground using the Vast Void Horizontal Technique and enveloped his entire body using the Vast Void Breath Concealment Technique.
This Cultivation Method is no longer what it used to be. Gu Yuanqing once deduced these two arts and put them in the Scripture Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. Void Form joined the Heavenly Policy Mansion with his Dao Fire cultivation, which allowed him to practice this method. It can be said that every drink and every bite has a cause.
He was originally unwilling to enter the Imperial Court, but in this prosperous era of cultivation, with all cultivation resources controlled by the Great Qian Dynasty, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of his future.
To become a renowned expert in the Great Qian Dynasty during that impoverished era, his talent was extraordinary. Seven years ago, he achieved the Divine Platform and thus became a retainer of the Heavenly Policy Mansion.
He was cautious by nature, and walked around Long Mountain for a long time without daring to get close. Then he went up to another hilltop and stared at the figure.
But the next second, a warning signal came from his mind, and he turned the Divine Platform around and left.
But before he had gone a hundred feet, he felt as if he had been struck hard in the back, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell headfirst to the ground.
Only when he was close to the ground did he regain control of his body. He suppressed his severe injuries and fled quickly, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Fortunately, the other party did not pursue him, but he was filled with fear and dread.
"That attack you just received was from a distance of over a hundred miles. Such a master is definitely not just at the Divine Platform Realm. In this world, perhaps only Young Master Gu can rival him."
Bai Hong calmly withdrew his gaze. It was just a tiny insect. He was currently focused on improving his cultivation and had no time to deal with it. His attack just now was merely a strike using his Heavenly Human Divine Sense to control Spiritual Qi against anyone who dared to spy on him.
Since he didn't die, he's lucky.
As for the fact that letting him escape would expose his own existence, he didn't care. Since Gu Yuanqing had controlled Bai Xianghui with his Soul Seal, he must already know of his arrival.
"He must be terrified right now, right? If a Void Heaven Cultivator from the Floating World can die at the hands of a Celestial Person like me, consider yourself lucky!"
Bai Hong continuously enhanced his cultivation with his Heavenly Human Divine Soul, squeezing out all the potential of this body.
Seeing that his Physical Body was about to collapse, he took out another Restoration Pill and swallowed it.
When Li Chengyi received the news, he glanced at the main peak and remained silent.
In this realm, he was considered one of the top local Cultivator, but now he felt utterly useless, having to rely on his father to solve any problems he encountered.
Even the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was powerless to do anything about it.
Li Shi'an and the others shared the same thought. He smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, we still need to work hard in our cultivation. There are countless experts in the Exquisite World and the Cultivation World. We can't rely on Young Master Gu to handle everything."
Everyone remained silent.
Suddenly, Ji Dai let out a soft exclamation.
"What's wrong, Brother Ji?" Li Shi'an asked, puzzled.
"Look at the Heavenly Heaven Ladder Rankings on that Heaven and Earth Stele, how come Young Master Gu's name is missing?"
Everyone looked up and was surprised to find that it was indeed true.
Once you're on the Heaven Ladder Rankings, you'll remain there unless the original owner dies. But now, Gu Yuanqing's name, which should have been at the top, has suddenly disappeared, and Li Shi'an has taken the top spot.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. If they hadn't seen Gu Yuanqing still sitting quietly on the summit of North Spring Mountain Master, they would have assumed something had happened to him.
Of course, it wasn't just a few people in the Mountain who discovered this scene.
Everyone in the Floating World could see it; after the initial shock, a strange sense of panic arose.
Not long after, a messenger arrived from the capital, inquiring about the reason from Li Guanrong, the regent, whose words revealed a hint of anxiety.
Li Haotian, "Cheng Yi, you should probably return to the capital as soon as possible. His name disappearing from the Heaven Ladder Rankings is no small matter. Outsiders who don't know the reason might think he has perished, and there will inevitably be changes in the capital and even the whole world."
"Yes, Your Imperial Grandpa, I will return to Fengtian City immediately."
Although Li Haotian had abdicated many years ago, Li Chengyi Li Haotian's way of addressing him remained unchanged. He glanced at the mountaintop again and flew towards Fengtian City.
At the same time, Chen Zhengfeng and Tong Yuefei from the Slanting Moon World looked at the Heaven Ladder Rankings with suspicion. Compared with outsiders, they could sense through their Soul Seal that Gu Yuanqing was not in any danger. On the contrary, the control of the Soul Seal was becoming more and more solid.
Why is his name suddenly missing from the Heaven Ladder Rankings?
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Hong finally opened his eyes, his aura already approaching the Void Heaven Great Accomplishment.
"My potential is exhausted; any further and this body will completely collapse. But it's almost there now. I'm nearing the Void Heaven Great Accomplishment, and with my Heavenly Human Divine Soul controlling it, I can unleash the power of a half-step Celestial Person. To deal with a junior who has just reached the Void Heaven, I've been far too well-prepared!"
A large portion of the power of Celestial Person comes from the Heavenly Human World. A Heavenly Human Divine Soul, if it is willing to unleash its power, can surpass the power of the Void Heaven. However, without the Empowerment the Heavenly Human World, it is like water without a source. Each use consumes the essence of the Heavenly Human Divine Soul, and recovery is quite slow. If it is severely damaged, it will further affect one's cultivation.
He was willing to help the Slanting Moon Bai Family, but he was absolutely unwilling to sacrifice his own cultivation.
Bai Hong stood with his hands behind his back, raised his hand and put away the Lunar Bell. Among the Ancient Artifact of the Exquisite World, there are many Law Treasure that can borrow the Underworld Power, but magical Law Treasure that can protect the Divine Soul and allow it to pass through the Underworld are extremely rare.
This treasure ranks among the top five of the Bai Clan's Law Treasure.
"The Spiritual Qi in this realm is quite abundant. Although it cannot compare to the Crimson Cloud Realm, it is no less than that of the ordinary Exquisite World."
"No wonder Bai Zongyi was so anxious to initiate the World Conflict and was willing to exchange the Danlin Token. I wonder what kind of fortuitous fortuitous opportunity he had to be able to support the Void Heaven. If he wins the World Conflict and the Slanting Moon World devours the origin of this realm, he might be able to rank among the top eighty in the Void Heaven World."
"Let's resolve things in this realm as soon as possible so we can return to the Crimson Cloud Realm sooner."
Bai Hong chuckled lightly, preparing to go directly to Gu Yuanqing and kill him, his gaze then falling on the Heaven and Earth Stele.
"This is the Heaven and Earth Stele! It's truly a divine object, hidden within layers of space. Although its form can be seen, its origin cannot be explored. Hmm? Why isn't Gu Yuanqing's name mentioned?" He looked astonished.
