Taking the fight to their lair
Gu Yuanqing naturally saw through this provocation, but he chuckled lightly and said, "Why not?"
The Spatial Art arrived behind Pei Yutang, Formless Calamity Finger and the Myriad Manifestations Senluo Palm were unleashed one after another, without end. At times, the North Spring Mountain Phantom would press down, affecting the circulation of Pei Yutang's True Essence.
Pei Yutang remained expressionless, charging left and right, each strike landing just before the force of his palms and fingers could be fully unleashed.
Gu Yuanqing seized the opportunity when Gu Yuanqing's energy was low after using the Secret Technique, turning defense into offense and not giving him a chance to catch his breath and recover.
But as he continued fighting, his eyes gradually brightened again.
The pressure of battle caused his Divine Soul senses to show signs of a breakthrough.
Gu Yuanqing could sense that Pei Yutang's aura was rising, not in terms of explosive power, but in terms of Transformation at the spiritual level.
With a thought, he withdrew all his attacks and instantly appeared dozens of miles away.
With the Outer Realm pressure gone, Pei Yutang's breathing faltered slightly. He was clearly just one step away from the crucial turning point, but that slight miscalculation immediately thwarted his Transformation. His expression darkened. "What do you mean?"
Gu Yuanqing yawned lazily. "We've had our fill today. If we want to fight again, we can do it another day when we're in the mood."
"Don't run away!" Pei Yutang was unwilling to give up and chased after him with his gun.
Gu Yuanqing chuckled and turned to leave. His Evasion Technique were extraordinary, and he had also comprehended Spatial Spell Art. He had only been caught up with earlier to change battlefields and had not exerted his full strength.
At this point, it wouldn't be so easy for Pei Yutang to catch up.
In a chase, they fled, and in the blink of an eye, they were far away.
Others assumed that Gu Yuanqing was no match for him and that's why he fled, but Lu Zeyu suddenly smiled.
"Sect Master, what are you laughing at?" Qiu Ziqing couldn't help but ask.
Shang Ziyin said calmly, "Pei Yutang was using the battle to Divine Intent, and he was just one step away from truly stepping into the Yin-Yang Realm, but Daoist Friend saw through his plan and cut off his source of strength, preventing him from using his power."
Lu Zeyu laughed and said, "At this critical moment, Pei Yutang must be unhappy, so he chased after him. Actually, if he had focused his mind and grasped that wisp of feeling from before, he might have gained even more. But since he chased after him intending to fight again, Daoist Friend probably won't let him Ruyi. This Daoist Friend is quite a remarkable person."
"But Pei Yutang won't let this go easily. After all, now that he has found this opportunity of the Great Dao, he will not let it slip away." Shang Ziyin watched the two Dao Body gradually disappear in the distance, took a sip of wine, and a faint aroma of wine filled the air.
Lu Zeyu suddenly turned his head and asked, "Junior Sister, have you thought it through? When will you overcome the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change? You have already comprehended some of the Yin-Yang Intent. If you overcome the Three Tribulations, you may be able to reach the Heavenly Transformation Peak in just a few years."
Instead of answering, Shang Ziyin asked, "What about the Sect Master? When does he plan to undergo the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation?"
Lu Zeyu stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "Let's wait a bit longer; now is not the time."
Qiu Ziqing, standing to the side, remained silent. Although they were Senior Brother, one spoke of the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, and the other of the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation, while he himself feared he might not even be able to survive the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change.
During a few days of chatting.
The Celestial Person of the Sanyang Sect gave chase. Zhou Zhengchu, the Peak Master of Shuoyang Peak, was very fast, but he still fell further and further behind. The same was true for the other experts at the Heavenly Change Realm.
Gu Yuanqing glanced at Pei Yutang, who was hot on his heels, and said calmly, "With his Spatial Art, he could easily escape." He laughed loudly, "Why must you pursue me so relentlessly?"
Pei Yutang didn't respond at all, but instead channeled his cultivation to its limit and poured it into his spear. At the same time, the Heavenly Human World trembled slightly, and he controlled the Wind and Thunder Shield and Thunder, like a bolt of Lightning, tearing through the sky and relentlessly pursuing it.
His mastery of Ways of Wind and Thunder techniques made him confident that he was second to none in speed, but when he encountered Gu Yuanqing, who was proficient in the Way of Space, he paled in comparison.
Celestial Person can indeed comprehend the Way of Space. They can enter the Ancient Realm by passing through the Heavenly Human World and then through the Void Realm.
Even he himself could traverse space over short distances, but that required time to lock onto Spatial Anchor with his Divine Sense and break through space, which was quite mentally taxing. When traveling for a long time, it was actually more practical and convenient than using Evasion Technique. He had never seen anyone as accomplished in the Way of Space as Gu Yuanqing, which was completely illogical.
However, he didn't believe the other party could continue like this!
The energy expenditure would be so great that even Cultivator at the Heavenly Transformation Peak would be worn down.
As Gu Yuanqing hurried along, he chuckled, "Speaking of which, seeing Daoist Friend like this reminds me of a dog I once saw. Back then, it was young and its cultivation was weak, but it chased me for three whole blocks."
Pei Yutang was secretly furious, but he didn't reply.
Gu Yuanqing continued, "I remember that day I was running and talking to it, and it didn't respond, just like you. Guess what happened in the end?"
Pei Yutang's face darkened, and he secretly activated his escape Evasion Technique, closing the distance further.
Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and unleashed several Formless Calamity Finger strikes to block his path. Then, he took a step and reappeared dozens of miles away.
Pei Yutang dodged the attack, but the distance between him and Gu Yuanqing widened once again.
Gu Yuanqing laughed again, "Fine, you're boring anyway, I won't play with you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he used Spatial Art in quick succession and disappeared without a trace.
Pei Yutang stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and then suppressed his emotions.
Zhou Zhengchu arrived shortly afterward.
"Junior Brother Pei, where is he?"
"They ran away." Pei Yutang said expressionlessly.
Zhou Zhengchu was silent for a moment, then said, "This person must not be allowed to live."
"I can't kill him alone; his mastery of the Way of Space is too high. However, as long as he still needs his Dao Soul, he will go to the Boundless River. I won't give him another chance to escape next time," Pei Yutang said calmly.
Having shaken off the pursuers, Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly.
The Sanyang Sect was more troublesome than he had anticipated. Unless he, like Pei Yutang, had all his Divine Soul enter the Ancient Realm, it would be very difficult to kill him.
However, doing so would mean giving up the opportunity of the Heavenly Ladder fortuitous opportunity and Mountain Gazing Enlightenment, which would be like putting all your eggs in one basket; if something goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With the help of the Spirit Mountain, achieving Yin-Yang perfection was only a matter of time, and he was unwilling to take such a risk as Pei Yutang.
However, without dealing with the Sanyang Sect, it's impossible to fish peacefully in the Boundless River.
He stood atop a high mountain, gazing in the direction of the Boundless River, and suddenly chuckled softly, muttering to himself, "Since you've come looking for me, you can't blame me."
Gu Yuanqing sat in meditation in the Mountain for several days, Refinement the Dao Soul he had caught, and restoring his True Essence and Divine Soul. Afterwards, he concealed his aura and went directly to the Teleportation Array, then returned to Dongyuan City through the teleportation array.
He then leaped into the air, soaring into the sky and riding the beam of light towards the Misty Forest.
"Since I can't enjoy fishing in the Boundless River, then let's all just give up on life!"
