Returning to Familiar Ground
The Dragon Demon Ancestor remained expressionless.
This is what I'm most worried about: a Yin-Yang Great Demon lurking outside the Boundary Domain, ready to attack at any moment, like a sharp sword hanging overhead, ready to fall at any time.
It did not give chase. This snake demon was skilled in water-based Spell Art, and the Black Sea was its home turf. Once it left the Boundary Domain, it lost its advantage of terrain and was no match for it.
Even if we were to gather the power of all the demons in the Dragon Demon Domain, we might be able to put up a fight, but it would be difficult to kill it. All it would do is hide in the vast ocean, and then there would be no way to defeat it.
He left a wisp of his Divine Soul to guard the area. This sea area was located in the weakest point of this Boundary Domain; even Yin-Yang Great Demon would find it difficult to force its way in from other places.
The Dragon Demon Ancestor was preparing to return to Demonic Dragon Mountain, but halfway there he changed course and went to the exit of the Underground Cave.
Sensing the aura within the Underground Cave, the Dragon Demon Ancestor couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling, regretting that he had used Forbidden Spell to open this passage back then.
Back then, before he had achieved Yin and Yin-Yang, he fought against Human Race Expert, unleashing the Forbidden Spell of the Demonic Dragon Clan Yin-Yang Great Millstone. Ultimately, the Forbidden Spell went out of control, leaving behind this Underground Cave passage.
It had also ventured into the Underground Cave, but at most it only sensed some Celestial Person- level Devil Beast. Only when it went deeper did it vaguely feel a threat, which is why Human Race guarded the Underground Cave.
But unexpectedly, this hidden danger was left behind.
"Tiger Lord, I'll trouble you to guard this place for a while," said the Dragon Demon Ancestor.
Tiger Lord cupped his hands in greeting. "Your Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, rest assured."
The Dragon Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, then nodded to Su Yue'e before riding away on his Yao Qi.
Watching the departing figure of the Dragon Demon Ancestor, Su Yue'e said, "This Demon Emperor seems to have changed a lot. If it were in the past, even if our four families joined forces, he would never have let you survive the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation."
Tiger Lord said calmly, "As long as that Young Master Gu is here, the position of Demon Emperor is unimportant."
"Yes, as long as he's here, there's nothing to fight over." Su Yue'e sighed softly, then turned to look at Tiger Lord and chuckled, "You broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm, didn't you think about testing this Young Master Gu's true strength? That's not like you Tiger Lord."
Tiger Lord was silent for a moment, then said, "If he cared about my strength, he wouldn't have allowed me to break through the Yin-Yang."
The Dragon Demon Ancestor has arrived at North Spring Mountain.
"Greetings, young master." The Dragon Demon Ancestor transformed into human form, clasped his hands, and bowed slightly.
Gu Yuanqing revealed himself and said calmly, "You've come for an enemy from beyond the realm?"
"The aura of the Yin-Yang Realm Devil Beast has also appeared within the Underground Cave, which is indeed somewhat troublesome. However, I did not come for that reason, but to deliver offerings from the various Demon Race. The Nine-Headed Demon Snake simply appeared at this opportune moment."
After saying this, the Dragon Demon Ancestor handed over a Storage Bag.
Gu Yuanqing smiled and accepted the bag without ceremony, moving all the contents into his own Storage Bag before returning Ao Jie's Storage Bag.
"You've got some serious ambition. Yin-Yang Realm has appeared even within the Underground Cave? With powerful enemies outside and internal and external troubles, can you handle it?"
The Dragon Demon Ancestor said, "Young Master, rest assured. Although there are some troubles, my Dragon Demon World Realm still has some resources. Not to mention, there must be Half-step Yin-Yang realm being in the Secret Realm of the Four Great Royal Races. If they unleash their full power and with the help of the clan's Ancestral Artifact, they might even be able to fight against the Yin-Yang Realm. My Demonic Dragon Clan also has Secret Treasure, but it is used to suppress fortune and cannot be used rashly."
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly, not surprised. Xiong Mo of the Iron Eater Tribe had mentioned this matter before. The Dragon Demon Domain has existed for a long time, so it would be strange if it didn't have some hidden killing moves.
"Here's what we'll do. I've left a wisp of my Divine Soul imprint within this Jade Talisman. Keep it; you might find it useful someday."
"Thank you, young master!" The Dragon Demon Ancestor bowed and accepted the gift.
Is there anything else?
"That's all. I'll take my leave."
North Spring Mountain slowly disappeared into the distance.
Since the Dragon Demon Ancestor had such confidence, Gu Yuanqing didn't focus much attention on the Demon Realm. He left a Divine Sense behind just in case, since the Dragon Demon Ancestor was considered one of his own. It would be too much of a pity if Great Cultivator of the Celestial Person were to perish.
Several more months passed.
At the summit, Gu Yuanqing introspectively observed the Heavenly Human World, sensing the flow and changes of wisps of the Great Dao within it.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes.
"After so much leisure, it's time to re-enter the Ancient Realm. All the Dao Resonance I've gained has been transformed into Dao cultivation. However, the Heavenly Human World is too vast. Even with the help of Mountain Observation's cultivation, which allows me to progress much faster than ordinary people, reaching the Perfection of this world, even with the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, will still take at least several decades. Only the Dao Soul of the Boundless River can help me advance quickly."
Although there is no one who can threaten him for the time being, as Cultivator, he naturally hopes to become stronger so that he can guard against unexpected events.
Putting aside other matters, Gu Yuanqing would find it difficult to contend with the King of the Underworld of the Underworld.
Although he seemed to have no hostility towards me, since there was King of the Underworld, there were naturally other experts as well. If I were to encounter one and my cultivation was insufficient, I would be at his mercy, and it would be too late for regrets.
He left a Split Soul to reside permanently in his Physical Body, using the Mountain-Contemplation Method to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Split Soul touched the Heavenly Human World, passing through the Void Realm and entering the Ancient Realm.
Opening his eyes in the Ancient Realm, he was greeted by a massive Formation.
This is the place where Gu Yuanqing first entered the Ancient Realm. He left the Ancient Realm for too long, and the aura he left behind in this realm disappeared. When he came back again, he naturally returned to this place.
He sensed the Heavenly Human World within his body, and his Cultivation Method began to circulate slightly.
"His strength is only about 80% of what it was at its peak. It seems that the body and Divine Soul he formed in the Ancient Realm are also related. However, it is enough. With this body, he can fight against Peak of Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change Exquisite World. As for his strength against Half-step Yin-Yang expert, we will have to fight to find out."
Gu Yuanqing stepped out of the Formation, then leaped up and rode away in a beam of light.
Sure enough, after achieving the status of Celestial Person, his Divine Soul contained Pure Yang Aura, and he could no longer sense the threat of Tribulation Lightning.
The higher you fly, the fiercer the Astral Wind becomes. This wind is quite strange; even if you try to block it with your True Essence, it will be blown to pieces. It can even blow through your body and reach your Divine Soul. Only by enveloping yourself in the Heavenly Human Realm can you remain unharmed.
He flew to about 10,000 meters and then continued ascending; going any higher would be too taxing.
Traveling through the air is naturally much more convenient than walking on the ground, and also much faster than ordinary Evasion Technique.
Before long, Gu Yuanqing saw Wuyi City. He stared at it for a moment, then landed inside the city.
As Celestial Person, even without Consecration Token, they can still come and go freely; this is the privilege of Celestial Person.
Looking at this fairly familiar urban area, it hadn't changed much in the past ten years, and the people in the city looked exactly the same as they did back then.
Perhaps the only difference is Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level.
Unlike before when he was somewhat cautious, Gu Yuanqing was now calm and composed. As his Divine Sense sense swept across the area, some Void Heaven Cultivator only slightly sensed something was amiss, but could not discover who was spying on them.
Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing looked ahead and saw a young woman wearing a veil approaching. She gave a graceful bow and smiled, saying, "Sir, we meet again."
