Chapter 326
Bai Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Brother Shentu, rest assured, your injury was caused by my Bai Clan, and all resources for your recovery will be provided by my Bai Clan."
"That's right! My Bai Clan would never let our friends suffer a loss." Another elderly man with white hair and beard said, his name was Bai Hongwen, the Celestial Person of the Bai Clan's Main Family.
Shentu Yu raised his hand, and the round mirror and Turtle Shell that had fallen to the ground flew into his hand. The Ancient Mirror was fine, not fundamentally damaged, but most of the Runes on the Turtle Shell were worn away, and there were cracks everywhere.
He shook his head and smiled wryly, "These are all minor matters. Fellow Daoist Friend, you all witnessed the scene just now. The opponent's cultivation was extremely high, proficient in the Path of Incense and Fire, the Way of Space, the Dao of Cause and Karma, and the Way of Heavenly Secrets. With a casual strike, he crossed Boundary Domain to attack, and I was almost killed by him. This person is definitely not an ordinary Cultivator!"
The Bai Clan members present all felt a chill in their hearts. Their cultivation levels were all quite high, so they naturally knew what this meant.
Despite all the careful preparation and the simultaneous attack of so many people, Shentu Yu was still seriously injured and nearly died. No wonder Bai Hong, a dignified Celestial Person, was silently lost within the Protection Grand Formation.
The crowd glared at Bai Zongyi with hostility. Not only had the Bai Clan lost a Celestial Person, but they had also incurred the wrath of such Cultivator. They couldn't help but feel some resentment.
Bai Zongyi stood on the outer perimeter, his face ashen.
But how could this be? How could a Celestial Person exist in a Floating World? Yes, his previous guess must be true. He grasped at a straw and stepped forward, urgently saying, "This person must be from the Cultivation World! Otherwise, how could Celestial Person appear in a mere Floating World?"
Bai Hongwen glanced coldly at Bai Zongyi, then said to Shentu Yu, "Fellow Daoist Friend Shen Tu, what is your estimate of this person's cultivation level?"
Shentu Yu said solemnly, "At least Great Cultivator at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Realm, or even... very likely Mighty Figure at the Yin-Yang Realm!"
The scene fell silent instantly, with some Cultivator gasping in shock. Although they could guess what had happened from the previous scene, they were still quite horrified to hear Shentu Yu confirm it firsthand.
Although Shentu Yu's cultivation level was only at the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, he cultivated the Heavenly Eye, which allowed him to see the Heavenly Secrets. He had many friends in the Exquisite World and his vision was extraordinary. His judgment was far more accurate than that of the Bai Clan's own people.
The Crimson Cloud Realm, where the Bai Clan resides, ranks nineteenth within the within the Exquisite World. Yet, there is only one Great Cultivator among them who has survived the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change, and even that barely made it through, narrowly escaping death.
After Bai Hong's death, only four Cultivator survived the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, and there were also a few whose Divine Soul underwent Transformation but failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
Even all of these combined weren't enough to kill Great Cultivator at the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, let alone Yin-Yang Mighty Figure.
Bai Hongwen's expression was grim, but he forced a smile, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Friend. Zhiyuan, please escort Fellow Daoist Friend to recuperate. If he needs anything, he can simply take it from the clan's treasury."
Bai Zhiyuan nodded, stepped aside, and gestured, "Brother Shentu, this way please."
Shentu Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture to the four directions, and walked out with the help of his apprentice.
Bai Zhiyuan led the way, glancing at Bai Zongyi before leaving. He knew that Bai Hongwen was deliberately trying to get rid of him, because he was closest to Bai Zongyi's faction.
Of course, as Clan Elder and someone who had survived the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, he was not afraid of being troubled by the clan. However, at this point, even he himself was not immune to criticism from the Lineage, so he could no longer interfere.
Bai Zongyi began to panic; he didn't know what the consequences would be.
In North Spring Mountain.
Gu Yuanqing gave a soft snort and looked away.
He didn't hold back in that attack; he used the Heavenly Fishing and the Object Control Method, following the secrets of Heavenly Secrets to specifically target the human Divine Soul — True God and unpredictable.
"I must say, the Spell Art of the Path of Incense and Fire have their unique aspects. Although the other Celestial Person Spell Art I cultivate are more powerful than this Incense Power Blade, their power will inevitably be greatly reduced after crossing realms."
It's not surprising, after all, the death of a Celestial Person from the Bai Clan at his own hands would certainly not be a peaceful end for him.
However, Gu Yuanqing did not take it seriously. The Exquisite World Ranking nineteenth, and its experts were limited.
Today, perhaps only the top Sect in the within the Exquisite World are worthy of his attention.
If they don't know what's good for them, Gu Yuanqing wouldn't mind killing a few more people to teach them a lesson.
As for deliberately seeking trouble, he doesn't have the time yet. To achieve the status of Celestial Person, Gu Yuanqing still has many things to do.
The Spell Art used in the past now seemed too rudimentary, and even with the Heavenly Human Divine Sense, many subtle changes went unnoticed.
Even the most frequently used Formless Calamity Finger is like this; while its power can be unleashed faster, its Dao Resonance activation is flawed, preventing it from unleashing its full power.
Moreover, his grasp of the Yin-Yang Dao has deepened, and he may have integrated them into various Spell Art.
These all require time to practice and ponder. Once all insights are integrated into one's own cultivation, one's strength can be increased by at least 30%.
At this time, he was still in the early stage of the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change, and the Heavenly Human World was still growing rapidly.
At the same time, the Transformation of the Heavenly Human Divine Soul, and the attainment of a more Divine Soul, reached a new level, becoming more sensitive and perceiving all things differently.
Moreover, by using North Spring Mountain to expand the scope of the Floating World to a higher level, he finally brought the entire Floating World into it, touching the edge of this world.
The edge of the Floating World, due to the perfection of the Great Dao of this realm, no longer dwells but evolves into a new space, just as new Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water emerge from Chaos.
The changes in the real world make the Great Dao more apparent, which is of great benefit to enlightenment. Ordinary Cultivator have no fortuitous opportunity to witness this, but Gu Yuanqing can comprehend it at will.
All of these were fortuitous opportunity, and for Gu Yuanqing, they were far more important than the Bai Clan.
He ignored worldly affairs and focused solely on cultivation until three months later, when he felt his cultivation had finally plateaued. Only then did he begin to devote some of his attention to external matters.
First, Li Chengyi, who had been waiting for many days, to the mountain. The father and son walked together in the Mountain and chatted for a long time. Gu Yuanqing then told him about the path of cultivation.
Only then did he meet with Li Shi'an and the others, resolving their doubts.
Gu Yuanqing continued, "Seniors, although my cultivation level surpasses that of the Cultivator of the Slanting Moon World, as I have said before, under the Void Heaven, you still have to rely on yourselves."
Li Shi'an and the others cupped their hands and said, "We understand, but we dare not trouble you alone with everything."
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. "I will take some time later to organize and deduce the Cultivation Method of this realm. This is all I can do to help you."
"Thank you, young master!"
Gu Yuanqing saw everyone off. He had only cultivated ahead of the beings in this world, and although he could help them if he could, he didn't want to be a babysitter.
Then, he stepped forward to the Heaven and Earth Pool and rolled up the Dragon Demon Ancestor from within.
