Secrets of the Ancient Realm

The burly man immediately stared intently at Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of his wine and said calmly, "What exactly do you want?"

The burly man enveloped the Liaokong with his Heavenly Human Realm to prevent his voice from carrying out before saying, "I thought you shouldn't have reached the Yin-Yang Realm yet, so how were you able to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise.

"When I say kill me, I mean completely obliterate my Spirituality, so that I will never be reborn from this Heaven and Earth again," the burly man said.

Gu Yuanqing said, "Then you overestimate me."

The burly man's eyes blazed with fervor again. He said, "There's no mistake. I've died countless times, but only when I'm facing you do I feel this way. This feeling is truly wonderful. For so many years, every day has been the same, driving me crazy. Now I've finally found you."

Gu Yuanqing asked, "Do you really want to die that badly?"

The burly man picked up the wine jug, tilted his head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls. He said, "If you were like me, you would also want to die. I tried everything I could think of, but it was all in vain. Do you know why there are so few Celestial Person in the Great Wei Divine Dynasty?"

"There used to be many?" Gu Yuanqing was a little surprised. In fact, there were quite a few Celestial Person in this world. At least there Heavenly Human in these Ancient City.

The burly man laughed, "This world is vast and rich in resources, with countless fortuitous opportunity. How could it only have these few? How could it be called Divine Dynasty? Compared to what I remember, less than one-tenth remains. Do you know where they are?"

"Where?" Gu Yuanqing echoed with a question.

"Haha, because they've all gone mad. Celestial Person can retain their memories, but even Celestial Person struggle to maintain their sanity over long and tedious years."

Back then, a group of crazed Celestial Person slaughtered their way through this realm, shattering cities and causing rivers of blood to flow. Emperor Wei Wuji of the Divine Dynasty personally captured all the celestial Celestial Person and suppressed them in the Divine Prison. That's why this Heaven and Earth is what it is today."

Gu Yuanqing took another sip of wine. Endless ages, such an existence—even he himself might go mad.

In other words, since they'll just resurrect anyway, might as well just have some fun!

The burly man continued, "Do you know why this space is like an ever-burning lamp in the Void Realm, allowing free entry and exit, and enabling you to take whatever resources you desire?"

"Tell me about it," Gu Yuanqing, also curious.

"Because you're here, this world has some novelty; otherwise, it would be completely boring." The burly man grinned.

How did this world become like this?

"I don't know. All I know is that when I woke up, I was like this. Perhaps my memories have been erased." The burly man picked up the wine jug and drank it down in one gulp, seemingly lost in reminiscence.

For some unknown reason, his eyes began to redden, and his Heavenly Human Realm became unstable, with a violent aura spreading.

People within a radius of several miles were terrified and looked around in panic.

Two Void Heaven Cultivator from the Outer Realm, not far away, were so shocked that they stood up and began to circulate their Cultivation Method to deal with the unexpected turn of events.

Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, then opened his Heavenly Human Realm, unleashing Suppression Intent.

The burly man suddenly closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them and laughed, "You flatter me. Recalling the past almost made me lose my mind."

"Waiter, two more jugs of wine!" Gu Yuanqing called out.

The shop assistant, who was not far away, was startled awake and responded from a distance.

Gu Yuanqing then asked, "What is your honorable surname?"

"Saber Demon Lü Chen, I only beg you to grant me death." The burly man stared intently at Gu Yuanqing. Gu Yuanqing remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't do it, at least not now."

"How will we know if we don't try?" Lu Chen said.

The waiter brought the wine.

Gu Yuanqing pushed a teapot towards Lu Chen, picked up another teapot to refill his own cup, and slowly said, "Even if I could do it, I wouldn't do it this way. I came to this world to seek fortuitous opportunity, not to court death."

Lu Chen said, "If you are willing, I can find anything for you—cultivation Cultivation Method, Law Treasure, rare treasures—as long as it is within my power."

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of wine and said calmly, "Even if you're alive to take it, you have to be alive to use it. The cultivation level of someone who can do such a thing is beyond imagination. Even after countless years, no one knows if they are still alive. If I really kill you, it might attract their attention. I am just Celestial Person Cultivator, and I don't want to cause such trouble."

Lu Chen frowned. "Your Excellency is overthinking it. This realm has existed for a very long time. Even Ancient God will perish, Immortal also suffer from calamities and tribulations. How could any Cultivator live for so long?"

Gu Yuanqing said quietly, "Aren't you all still alive? If you can do it, then he certainly can."

Lu Chen's gaze sharpened. "It seems there's no way to have a proper talk. I only wish to die. Why don't you do me a favor and do yourself a favor? You should know that I'm willing to do anything for this. For example, I only need to spread this news, and in this Ancient Realm, those who want to die will naturally come looking for you, and those who don't want to die will find your existence a threat."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "At worst, we just won't enter this Ancient Realm."

Lu Chen's expression changed, and he was about to speak when he suddenly looked up and glanced outside. He said to Gu Yuanqing with resentment, "I, the Saber Demon, never give up until I achieve my goal. Please reconsider. As far as I know, the Great Dao in your Exquisite World is incomplete. Without the resources of this realm, I'm afraid you won't even be able to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm."

As they spoke, a beam of light landed by the window, and a young man in Blue Robe stood on a sword, staring at Lu Chen, and said coldly, "Saber Demon, Dongyuan City does not welcome you. If you don't want to be imprisoned in the Divine Prison, leave now."

Lu Chen sneered, "If you don't welcome me, I wouldn't want to come either. Zhao Qianyu, you'd better not leave Dongyuan City, otherwise, heh, I'd like to test if my Thousand Cuts ' technique has deteriorated."

"Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite," the man in Blue Robe shouted coldly.

Lu Chen dared not fight with anyone in the city. He snorted coldly, took a step, and flew into the Horizon.

Zhao Qianyu glanced at Gu Yuanqing. It was rather strange that the Saber Demon would sit down and drink with the Outer Realm, but he didn't want to meddle and left.

Gu Yuanqing watched the two figures leave, his brows furrowing slightly. The waters of the Ancient Realm were incredibly deep. Just as Lu Chen had said, this realm was full of fortuitous opportunity and powerful figures. The Boundless River alone was enough to allow countless Cultivator to step into the Void Heaven and the Celestial Person, and even the Yin-Yang realms.

However, he didn't want to investigate, as these secrets often concealed dangers.

He came here simply to seek fortuitous opportunity.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, they traveled to the Boundless River via a teleportation array, and then headed towards the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

As for the place where he left the Ancient Realm, he did not go there. There was nothing there. He had made some arrangements at the time, but he was just worried that he would still be in the same place when he returned.

When he landed in the courtyard, it wasn't long before disciples of the Illusionary Spirit Sect arrived.

Arriving through the air, one is Celestial Person Illusionary Spirit Sect must show due respect to Celestial Person Cultivator like him. Therefore, the visitor is True Disciple the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

As fate would have it, this person was none other than Gongsun Miao.

"Senior, I am... it's you!" He smiled and was about to bow when he suddenly saw Gu Yuanqing's face clearly, and his heart skipped a beat.
