Boundless River.

The subject of their discussion was Pei Yutang.

This name, which had gradually faded from people's sight, once again resounded throughout the Exquisite Realms.

The fact that he was able to defeat the True Disciple of the Primordial Divine Sect in the Hundred Realms Competition was enough to remind many people of his past.

"It seems the Sanyang Sect is serious; they've actually sent him out."

"Yes, I didn't expect him to still be alive. The Sanyang Sect is really good at hiding. I wonder how many other figures like Pei Yutang are in the Sect."

"It seems that Gu Divine Fisher from the Illusionary Spirit Sect hasn't appeared by the Boundless River for quite some time. I wonder if he's afraid."

"Probably not. After all, he's someone who surpasses even Three Tribulations Great Cultivator like Liu Ruiyuan. Even if he's not as powerful as Pei Yutang, he shouldn't be afraid to show his face."

"Why haven't you shown up for so long?"

The Cultivator speculated wildly. Many had originally planned to enter the Ancient Realm Platform to wait for the duel between Shi Ziqian of the Wuchen Sect and Cen Pingshan, the Sanyang Sect Sword Son.

However, due to Pei Yutang's appearance, they all stayed on the Boundless River side.

The battle between Void Heaven Cultivator is nothing compared to the great battle of the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change.

Such a spectacle might not happen once every few decades, and even the Hundred Realms Competition might not see such a level of action.

The entrance and exit of the Boundless River Gate of the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

Gongsun Miao Yi Yunbo just happened to pass each other.

"Junior Brother Yi, it seems the Guest Elder you recommended is afraid," Gongsun Miao suddenly said in a low voice.

Yi Yunbo stopped in his tracks and snorted coldly, "Senior Brother Gongsun, why don't you say that to Brother Gu's face sometime on a different day?"

Gongsun Miao smiled and said, "Junior Brother Yi, why are you reacting so strongly? I'm just telling the truth. There's nothing shameful about it, after all, he has to face that person."

Yi Yunbo said, "Senior Brother Gongsun seems to be gloating a bit?"

Gongsun Miao said, "Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. You're making me sound like a traitor. This Gu Divine Fisher is, after all, Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. I just feel that fleeing without a fight is too shameful. People who don't know our origins might think that our Illusionary Spirit Sect is afraid of the Sanyang Sect."

Yi Yunbo sneered, "Then why don't you, Senior Brother Gongsun, go and challenge Elder Pei?"

Gongsun Miao laughed and left, "What does this have to do with me? Besides, even if I wanted to, the Sect Master wouldn't allow it."

"What is that?!"

Yi Yunbo spat, not in a good mood. Although it was only natural for Brother Gu to avoid someone like Pei Yutang, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, some people within the Sect spread rumors, acting obsequiously at first but arrogant later, Human Heart somewhat uncomfortable.

Even when he arrived at the mountain, his brow was still furrowed.

Qiu Ziqing suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yi Yunbo bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Master."

Qiu Ziqing said, "Get up. How have you been feeling these past few days?"

"It's just human nature; even Cultivator are not immune to it," Yi Yunbo said with a slight smile.

Li Chengyi also returned to North Spring Mountain, only to hear about the awakening of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle.

He gazed at the wondrous landscape beyond the Island, his heart filled with awe. Only today had he seen the true face of the Divine Turtle that stretched for thousands of miles.

He and Gu Yuanqing stood together atop the main peak, closing their eyes to sense the aura of the Soul Seal they had once formed.

A moment later.

Li Chengyi's eyes gleamed. "Father, I can sense that we are getting closer to the location of the Sacred Heaven Sect. Perhaps we are heading towards the land of the Cultivation World."

"Let's wait and see where it goes!" Gu Yuanqing focused his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye, using the power of North Spring Mountain to gaze into the distance, but still could not see the end of this vast ocean. The father and son were talking.

The Little Fox suddenly scurried up and Jiujiu at Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi smiled at his father and said, "I'll go with it and see if it has anything good for me to see."

Gu Yuanqing glanced at the Little Fox and nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, a bolt of Tribulation Lightning suddenly descended upon North Spring Mountain.

After a while, Li Chengyi returned to the mountaintop.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and asked, "What did I take you to see?"

Li Chengyi was both amused and exasperated. "I wondered what had happened. It turns out it was undergoing its transformation tribulation today. I wanted to see what it would look like after the tribulation, but after the Tribulation Lightning, it disappeared without a trace, and I couldn't even call out to it."

The Little Fox was not weak; its soul was powerful, and its foundation had been cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Pool, transforming it into Spirit Fox. It then spent its days cultivating in the North Spring Mountain.

They drink Spirit Water, eat Spirit Cuisine, and have a lineage passed down through their blood.

In terms of cultivation, it was no less than Li Chengyi's, so Li Chengyi did not see through its Spell Art at the time.

Gu Yuanqing turned his head and glanced at where the Little Fox was.

All that could be seen was a little girl of about seven or eight years old, wearing a long white dress, standing deep inside the Cave, with two Fox Tail standing tall behind her.

She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, then looked down at her pale, delicate hands, and almost cried with grievance, "Why am I a child after transforming? It shouldn't be like this. How can I face Cheng Yi now?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled.

"Father, what's wrong?" Li Chengyi asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing." Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "Since we both have free time today, I'll show you some more things."

Using his Mountain Observation Technique, Gu Yuanqing guided Li Chengyi's Divine Soul to the edge of the Floating World, leading him to perceive the Boundary Domain Edge the traces of the various Great Dao transformations were even more evident.

With Gu Yuanqing's help, Li Chengyi quickly became engrossed in the experience.

Of course, his cultivation of the myriad paths differed from Gu Yuanqing's; he only grasped a few Dao Resonance that suited him.

Gu Yuanqing maintained this insight for three days before finally stopping.

"Too much is as bad as too little. This is the way of the Floating World. If you comprehend it too deeply, it will become an obstacle to knowledge. This is merely opening a path for you, through which you can comprehend the way of the Cultivation World."

"I understand!" Li Chengyi stood up.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly, then said, "Continue your cultivation."

With a wave of his hand, he escorted Li Chengyi back to his usual Courtyard.

Gu Yuanqing cultivated for several more days and, seeing that the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle in the Cultivation World seemed to have not changed for the time being, he felt relieved and separated a wisp of his Divine Soul to enter the Ancient Realm.

The protective array he set up was not broken. He retrieved his Storage Bag, hung it on his waist, and then left the protective array, heading towards the Boundless River.

He hadn't walked far when he vaguely sensed a powerful yet sharp aura rising into the sky from the Boundless River.

"Heavenly Transformation Peak, is this Pei Yutang? It seems we've been waiting for quite some time!" Gu Yuanqing easily guessed it.

But he immediately smiled and said, "Then you'll have to wait a bit longer. Nobody said that if you come looking for me, I have to accept the challenge, right?"

Gu Yuanqing walked calmly towards the Boundless River. He did not deliberately avoid it, nor did he provoke it.

Just like an ordinary Celestial Person, he came to the Boundless River, found a place to fish, and began to fish for Dao Soul.

A day later, a Celestial Person from the Illusionary Spirit Sect passed by Gu Yuanqing's fishing spot, glanced at it, and then widened his eyes.

"Gu Divine Fisher? You're in the Ancient Realm?" he transmitted his voice.

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly.

The Celestial Person being immediately looked around alertly, then hurriedly left.
