No need to go!

On the Boundless River, the waves were surging and had never been completely calm. After this battle, the various Vital Energy in the river clashed even more fiercely.

Gu Yuanqing was about to swim upstream to see if there were any suitable fishing spots when his gaze suddenly fixed on the distance.

A streak of Sword Dao light stopped a hundred feet away from him. It was Tang Yi, who had fought the Sanyang Sect a few days ago. He laughed and cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Yuanqing, saying, "Brother Gu, what skill you have! You've forced that old thief Liu Ruiyuan to abandon everything in the Ancient Realm and leave this world in a sorry state."

No one believed that Gu Yuanqing had killed Liu Ruiyuan's Divine Soul. Under the cover of Gu Yuanqing's Heavenly Human Realm, even Lu Zeyu could not see clearly.

Gu Yuanqing naturally wouldn't go into detail about his victory, and smiled slightly, "Daoist Friend, you flatter me. It was just luck."

"In a battle Cultivator, there's no such thing as luck. Brother Gu is too modest. I've wanted to kill that old scoundrel Liu for a long time, but my cultivation level has limited me. Today, Brother Gu's battle was extremely enjoyable to watch, haha!" Tang Yi laughed loudly, clearly in a very good mood.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "Speaking of which, I should thank Brother Tang. He came to the Boundless River a few days ago, probably looking for me. Your battle with him allowed me to see his true abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily today."

"So you came Daoist Friend. No need for thanks. My Wuchen Sect and the Sanyang Sect have a long-standing feud. I naturally couldn't tolerate his brazen search with his Divine Sense. Unfortunately, my cultivation is inferior to Daoist Friend, and that Nine Yang Cauldron was like Turtle Shell, unbreakable. We fought for several days without a clear winner. I never expected him to meet such a fate, losing the Nine Yang Cauldron and the Floating Dust Seal. If I encounter him again in the Ancient Realm, I'll make him taste my power!"

"I'm afraid Daoist Friend won't be able to encounter him anytime soon."

The two laughed and chatted for a few more minutes.

Tang Yi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It is truly an honor to meet Daoist Friend. In the future, Daoist Friend must visit my Wuchen Sect. Whether in the Wuchen Realm or the Ancient Realm, I, Tang, will gladly welcome you."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Gu Yuanqing also liked Tang Yi's personality. He cupped his hands and smiled, "If I have time, I will definitely visit you. I've heard that Myriad Soldier Valley is a famous place where Divine Weapon Guixu. I haven't been there since I came to this Ancient Realm. I must go and see it for myself in the future."

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Based on Daoist Friend achievements this time, if you come to the Myriad Soldier Valley, you can choose any of the Daoist Friend Divine Weapon within, as long as you are destined to do so. I won't bother you any longer today. Daoist Friend, Fellow Daoist."

"Goodbye!"

Tang Yi rode away on his sword, his Daoist robes fluttering, like Sword Immortal.

Just after Tang Yi left, Qiu Ziqing arrived and chatted with him for a while before they parted ways.

Gu Yuanqing headed upstream on the Boundless River.

Unfortunately, the Boundless River, stretching for thousands of miles upstream, was churning and boiling, making it completely unsuitable for fishing. Moreover, with the various kinds of Vital Energy emanating from it, explosions and booming sounds could be heard from time to time.

"Very well, let's Refinement the Dao Soul we've caught these past few days first."

Sanyang Realm, Lingyuan Mountain Range.

After spending some time stabilizing his injuries, Tan Ziping left his secluded cultivation place and headed straight for the Sect's main peak.

Upon arriving at a Courtyard, before he could even knock, a young man came out and bowed, saying, "Uncle Tan."

"Changyang, is the Sect Master here?" Tan Ziping asked.

"Master is still in seclusion, does Uncle-Master have something important to discuss?" The young man suddenly noticed that Tan Ziping's breathing was somewhat unsteady, and asked again, "Uncle-Master, are you injured?"

Tan Ziping said, "Go and report to the Sect Master immediately that something has happened in the Ancient Realm and Senior Brother Liu may be in danger!"

The young man's expression changed slightly. "Yes, I'll go right away."

Just then, a voice came from the Courtyard: "Junior Brother Ziping, may I ask you to come in?"

Tan Ziping entered the courtyard, where Baili Jinghong, the Sect Master of the Sanyang Sect, was waiting in the main hall. However, this was only a wisp of his identity; his true self was still in seclusion in his cultivation cave. "Greetings, Sect Master!" Tan Ziping clasped his hands and bowed.

Baili Jinghong stared at Tan Ziping: "You're injured? Who injured you?"

"I only managed to exchange a few blows with the Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect before I had to retreat from the Ancient Realm. Most of my Divine Soul was severed, and my Primordial Spirit was greatly damaged. Now I think Senior Brother Liu must be fighting him. This person's cultivation and strength are far higher than expected. I'm worried that Senior Brother might not be able to defeat him." Tan Ziping said it very tactfully.

Baili Jinghong with some surprise, "Is that the Gu guy who injured Chen Baotian?"

Baili Jinghong shook her head and said, "Probably not. Even Junior Brother Zhu has returned to the Misty Forest. It will take at least two days to get there. By the way, did Chen Baotian go with you this time?"

Tan Ziping nodded and said, "Indeed, we went together. He only managed to spare a Split Soul, and his cultivation in the Ancient Realm almost fell to the Celestial Person, so he couldn't be of much help."

"His Ancient Realm body was killed, and he has nothing on him. I asked Junior Brother Zhu to inform him to withdraw from the Ancient Realm and explain the current situation." Baili Jinghong was not panicked. In his opinion, although Gu Yuanqing was powerful, since Tan Ziping could also withdraw his Divine Soul, Liu Ruiyuan could easily retreat even if he couldn't defeat him.

With the strength of Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change expert and two superior Ancient Treasure, nothing should happen unless Yin-Yang Mighty Figure intervenes.

Baili Jinghong closed her eyes and activated the Sect Master Token with her Divine Sense.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Wait a little while, Junior Brother Ziping, are you alright?"

Tan Ziping was silent for a moment, then said, "The Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation years from now... I'm afraid there will be even less of a chance."

Baili Jinghong said, "Junior brother, please don't think like that. With your current State of Mind, as long as you can find a compatible Dao Soul, there will definitely be no problem."

A disciple served tea, and the two chatted casually as usual.

After a while, Baili Jinghong paused, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

Tan Ziping asked, "Sect Master, what's wrong?"

Baili Jinghong said solemnly, "Junior Brother Zhou from Shuoyang Peak sent a message saying that a disciple is currently by the Boundless River. Junior Brother Liu is already at a disadvantage and may not be able to defeat him."

Tan Ziping's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Even Senior Brother Liu isn't his match?"

Baili Jinghong stood up, her brows furrowed. "No, I'll have to go and take a Split Soul."

"The Sect Master is going to take action personally?"

"If Tang Yi of the Wuchen Sect is still at the Boundless River, Junior Brother Liu will be in trouble. It might be too late for the others to get there, so I'll go myself. Junior Brother Tan, you go back first..."

At this point, Baili Jinghong suddenly paused.

"Sect Master?" Tan Ziping knew something must have happened again.

Sure enough, Baili Jinghong said with a grim expression, "There's no need to go."

Tan Ziping was somewhat puzzled.

Baili Jinghong's tone turned cold, murderous intent flashing within him, and he continued, "Junior Brother Liu has awakened, but his Split Soul Divine Soul that entered the Ancient Realm has been completely obliterated!"

"What?" Even in his best State of Mind, Tan Ziping couldn't help but exclaim.
