No One Takes Offense at Too Many Gifts
Gu Yuanqing didn't take the matter too seriously; it wasn't the first time he had killed members of the Sanyang Sect.
Since they dared to cause trouble, they only have themselves to blame.
The only pity is that Celestial Person are too difficult to kill; even destroying their Ancient Realm bodies only resulted in severe injuries.
As he traveled upstream, the number of people Boundless River dwindled, and judging from the slightest contact with their auras, it seemed that the people further upstream were several levels more powerful.
Gu Yuanqing found a secluded spot and landed. The nearest Cultivator was seven hundred miles away.
"Hmm, that's good."
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. As the Heavenly Human Realm enveloped him, he immediately understood why there were so few people on this place.
Besides the river's extreme swiftness, wisps of mist rise from its surface and spread to both banks.
These seemingly ordinary mists are actually the condensation of the Vital Energy of various Great Dao; however, if anything goes slightly wrong, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction.
It's like being in a minefield full of landmines; you have to be extremely careful with every step you take.
Those who dare to fish upstream are all extremely confident in their own cultivation, confident that their Heavenly Human Realm can easily resolve these conflicts of Vital Energy.
"This is it. What about further up?" Gu Yuanqing looked towards the source of the Boundless River.
Ahead, the fog grew even thicker, rising directly into the Nine Heavens.
Occasionally, a gust of wind or a drop of rain would cause various lights to suddenly appear within a radius of hundreds of miles, with strange phenomena such as explosions, lightning, thunder, fire, golden swords, and mountains appearing frequently.
Even masters of Celestial Person skill would find it difficult to remain there for long.
"Let's do it here!"
Gu Yuanqing waved his hand, and the scene instantly changed, transforming into Fishing Platform suitable for fishing.
The Outer Realm Vital Energy seemed about to trigger a chain reaction due to a change in the Dao Mechanism, but Gu Yuanqing opened his Heavenly Human Realm and immediately calmed it down with a thought.
Looking at the swirling mist, Gu Yuan suddenly had a thought, "Besides the Dao Soul within these two Boundless River being an opportunity, the waters of these Dao River are also worth comprehending for me."
"This Gungun river, with its mixture of various Vital Energy, is able to coexist peacefully, which is itself extremely strange!"
"This might be useless to other Cultivator, after all, most Cultivator only cultivate a few Great Dao, but I am different. My Heavenly Human Realm contains myriad Daos, with various Dao Resonance Dao Resonance, mutually generating and restraining each other, just like Boundless River."
Gu Yuanqing suddenly focused his gaze on the source of the Boundless River, his eyes following the river downstream, recalling the lower reaches of the Boundless River that he had seen before.
A suspicion suddenly arose in my mind.
"Upstream of this river, various Great Dao converge, achieving an incomprehensible state of balance under an invisible force. The further downstream one goes, the more peaceful the primordial Vital Energy in the Boundless River becomes. It is said that at the very bottom, the water of the Boundless River becomes like ordinary river water. Some say that the Vital Energy in the river gradually dissipates, but perhaps that is not the case. Rather, the Vital Energy within it gradually settles down along with the Great Dao, transforming into a material state."
Of course, these may not be true, but the state in which all kinds of Vital Energy intersect yet remain in balance certainly offers much to learn.
Gu Yuanqing put down the fishing hook and conjured a Chair to sit down.
The upstream river water did indeed consume more of his True Essence and Divine Soul, but he was already at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change realm, and with the experience he had gained from Heavenly Fishing, he easily adapted.
Before long, a Upper-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul took the bait.
The Dao Soul that was caught and sealed away was enough to attract attention in the middle and lower reaches of the river, but it was captured quietly here.
While fishing, Gu Yuanqing enveloped the area around the Boundless River with his Heavenly Human Domain, trying to comprehend the wondrous state of the balance of Vital Energy within it and to glean some profound secrets from Xuanji.
In the Market Ward downstream of the Boundless River.
Saber Demon Lü Chen watched as people drank in a tavern, gazing at the Illusionary Spirit Sect's Residence in the distance, his face grim. He wasn't afraid of being killed, but he feared being imprisoned and sealed, unable to die even if he wished for it.
Unfortunately, both of those from the Illusionary Spirit Sect possessed this ability, and he had learned this the hard way before, so he didn't want to go through with it again.
However, no matter how risky it may be, he will not give up on her.
This was the only time in all these years that he truly felt the approach of death, and for this, he was willing to disregard everything.
However, everything needs to be considered carefully. If things get too big, and that person really avoids entering the Ancient Realm, then it will be troublesome.
"This is really troublesome! Much more troublesome than killing someone." Lu Chen frowned deeply.
As he was pondering, someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
The newcomer cupped his hands and bowed slightly. "Is this Senior Lü Chen? I am Lu Chen from the Zhuang Tianlai of the Sanyang Sect. Greetings, Senior."
Lu Chen looked him up and down. Normally, Cultivator from the Outer Realm would run away at the sight of him, so it was rare for someone to come up and greet him. He asked, "Is there something you need?"
Zhuang Tianlai smiled and asked, "Senior, are you looking for this person?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the water vapor condensed into the shape of Gu Yuanqing.
Lu Chen glanced at him and asked, "Do you know him?"
Zhuang Tianlai said, "This man's surname is Gu. He is Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect and a famous Divine Fishing. He has caught many Earth Tier Dao Soul in a single year."
"So his surname is Gu." Lu Chen murmured softly, not at all surprised that he could lure out Earth Tier Dao Soul. If he wasn't extraordinary and had exceptional cultivation, how could he have killed him completely?
"That's right, senior, do you have a grudge against him?" Zhuang Tianlai quickly asked.
Lu Chen countered, "Does your Sanyang Sect have a grudge against him?"
Zhuang Tianlai said in a deep voice, "This man has always been arrogant and disdainful of others. I do indeed have a grudge against him. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since you also have a grudge against this man, why not cooperate with my Sanyang Sect?"
Lu Chen looked at Zhuang Tianlai with a half-smile and asked, "Little guy, do your Sect elders know you've come to see me?"
Zhuang Tianlai frowned. "What do you mean by that, senior?"
Lu Chen said calmly, "If your elders knew, they definitely wouldn't have let you come to see me."
Zhuang Tianlai sensed danger, his expression changed, and he quickly retreated, urgently saying, "Senior..."
Lu Chen sneered, "You dare to come looking for me from a mere Void Heaven?"
He raised his hand and slashed, the blade's energy following.
Zhuang Tianlai was actually prepared, but he underestimated Lu Chen. A precious sword snapped in two, and then a Protective Seal was severed in the middle. The blade energy broke through the Void Heaven Domain, and Zhuang Tianlai's retreating figure suddenly stopped. His Physical Body was split in two.
The residual force of the blade energy continued unabated, landing in a deep ravine several miles in radius behind it. A Void Heaven Cultivator was unable to dodge in time, and half of his body was destroyed.
Chaos reigned in the Market Ward.
Lu Chen sheathed his sword and chuckled, "The Sanyang Sect? Seems to be a major sect in the Exquisite World. Interesting. How about this be my first gift? As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be generous with gifts. This Daoist Friend should be grateful to me, not angry with me, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly appeared in front of a Void Heaven Cultivator and grabbed his shoulder with one hand.
The Void Heaven Cultivator changed his expression. "Senior..."
"Do you know if there are any members of the Sanyang Sect around here?" Lu Chen's eyes were burning with excitement.
