The Tiger Lord's Avatar

Scenes from the Ancient Realm flashed through my mind.

The insights and feelings I gained through Divine Sense were reconstructed into a series of images within my mind.

"The only true expert here is Pei Yutang; the others are all Cultivator at the first or second stage of the Heavenly Change, stationed at the Array Base."

"There's more than one Array Formation. Besides the Array Formation that isolates Heaven and Earth to prevent Cultivator from leaving the Ancient Realm, there's also Array Formation that imprisons and suppresses cultivation. It seems Pei Yutang has no interest in fighting me again, but instead wants to completely annihilate this Split Soul."

Gu Yuanqing frowned for a moment, then abandoned his plan to forcefully break the Array Formation by using all his Divine Soul.

Facing Array Formation prepared by a Sect over a long period of time with one's own strength is not a wise move; the benefits are not proportional to the risks.

As one's cultivation level increases, the role of the Ancient Realm gradually diminishes.

Dao Discussion Soul or the Divine Soul Great Medicine, resistance will develop with repeated use, and its effects will become weaker and weaker.

For example, right now, only Upper Earth Tier are of great use to Gu Yuanqing.

Such Dao Soul and Divine Soul Great Medicine are actually quite rare. Even in the Sanyang Sect's Medicine Valley, there are only a few of these elixirs.

Therefore, the difference between what one gains in the Ancient Realm North Spring Mountain what one gains while Mountain Gazing Enlightenment in the state of Divine Soul Unity is not that great.

Moreover, this gap will continue to narrow as more Dao Soul and Divine Soul Great Medicine are used.

Therefore, Gu Yuanqing did not dwell on the matter of temporarily abandoning the Ancient Realm for long.

"It seems I'll have to miss this Hundred Realms Competition."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, feeling slightly regretful. He had originally wanted to meet the people of the Primordial Divine Sect and see what the Ancient Realm Platform was all about, but now he would have to wait until later.

However, for him, that was all.

Fifty years later, the Floating World will be promoted to the Exquisite World, Primordial Divine Sect will naturally be able to witness. After that, the Hundred Realms Competition will just be a normal occurrence.

"The Sanyang Sect can't forcibly leave my mark in the Ancient Realm in the Misty Forest indefinitely. It's just best to wait a while longer before entering again."

Within the Ancient Realm.

Liu Ruiyuan came to Pei Yutang's side.

"Junior Brother Pei, it seems like the Formation was activated just now?"

Pei Yutang nodded and said, "That's right, that guy surnamed Gu has entered the Ancient Realm again."

Liu Ruiyuan looked around and frowned, saying, "He escaped again?"

"It's still the same kind of Spell Art, directly detached from the Ancient Realm, rendering any binding techniques completely useless against him. Senior Brother Liu, still haven't found out this person's origins?"

Liu Ruiyuan shook his head and said, "No, we've sent people to inquire with the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower, and Heaven-Seeking Sect Wentian Sect that are well-informed or skilled in Heavenly Secrets —but none of them know his background. Besides, Zhou Hanmo has woken up, and the person who killed him that day was this man surnamed Gu."

"It's him too? It seems he's been planning to be an enemy of my Sanyang Sect for a long time!" Pei Yutang's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Several years ago, when this person clashed with Yu Yunan, True Disciple our sect, many Cultivator witnessed it. We found them and discovered that the person who was initially with this person was a Void Heaven Rogue Cultivator Mei Lisan."

Has this person been found?

"We haven't found him either. After Zhou Hanmo's accident, he completely disappeared, probably afraid we'd trace it back to him. There's another one named Zheng Kun, but he's stayed within the Illusionary Spirit Sect Residence and hasn't come out at all."

"This person surnamed Gu shouldn't be an unknown figure!"

"Indeed, to reach such a level of cultivation, it's impossible to achieve it through secret, arduous training alone. One must have an extraordinary background. Yet, one's cultivation Spell Art seem to be different from those of the Sect and Lineage in the Exquisite World."

"So, Senior Brother still means that this person comes from the Primordial Realm?"

"Only someone like that could possibly appear there, and only someone from there could possibly escape the Ancient Realm within the Ten Directions Deadlands Formation. I suspect that neither his Cultivation Method technique nor his Divine Ability are his true form."

"No matter what, since this person is an enemy of our Sanyang Sect, we must eliminate him as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a great threat once he achieves Yin-Yang." Pei Yutang said in a deep voice.

Liu Ruiyuan smiled bitterly and remained silent. Everyone knew about this, but the key was that they didn't know its origins, so they had no idea where to start!

On the Boundless River, at the Illusionary Spirit Sect Residence.

Yi Yunbo woke up from his seclusion and went to Qiu Ziqing's Courtyard.

"Greetings, Master."

Qiu Ziqing looked Yi Yunbo up and down, helped him up, and then laughed loudly, "Yunbo has gained quite a bit! His aura has already reached the Void Heaven Peak, and he's only half a step away from transcending the Heavenly Human Tribulation."

Yi Yunbo smiled and said, "I'm preparing to undergo the Heavenly Human Tribulation after this Hundred Realms Competition."

How confident are you?

"It should be seven points."

"Seven points is already quite good! It's much better than what I was like back then. Take advantage of this time to further Perfection your cultivation. You will stay in my courtyard for the next few days, and I will explain things about cultivation and Heavenly Tribulation to you in detail."

"Thank you, Master. By the way, is there any news about Brother Gu?"

Qiu Ziqing shook his head and said, "Not yet. I heard that more than a year ago, he was forced to leave the Ancient Realm by the Sanyang Sect in the Misty Forest. The Sanyang Sect will certainly not allow his remaining marks to dissipate, so I'm afraid we won't see him for the next few years."

Yi Yunbo: "Then the Sect Master..."

Qiu Ziqing waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Don't think about anything else. Focus on your cultivation. The Sect Master won't allow the entire Sect to be dragged into war because of a Guest Elder."

Yi Yunbo remained silent.

Since it was not the right time to enter the Ancient Realm, Gu Yuanqing naturally focused all his attention on Mountain Gazing Enlightenment.

The benefits of taking the Heavenly Grade Divine Soul Great Medicine had not yet completely dissipated. After all, even Cultivator of the Sanyang Sect might only have one or two opportunities to take such an elixir in their lifetime.

The effect was better than Gu Yuanqing had expected.

The growth of his Divine Soul not only led to greater gains from Mountain Gazing Enlightenment, but also resulted in increasingly refined control over the Object Control Art, and he was able to better unleash the power belonging to North Spring Mountain.

In the Floating World, the entire Boundary Domain is under his control, so nothing is noticeable. However, the differences are significant within the Demon Realm.

The influence of North Spring Mountain extended from Five Thousand Li to eight thousand li.

In other words, within this 8,000-mile radius, Gu Yuanqing can unleash the power of the Yin-Yang Realm- Yin-Yang Realm, or even beyond!

Moreover, this distance continues to increase as his Divine Soul grows.

With the power of North Spring Mountain Empowerment his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye, it became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable, and he could now clearly see things within a range of 50,000 li.

This distance perfectly encompasses the exit of the Underground Cave.

On this day, the North Spring Peak was revealed to the Cultivation World.

Standing atop the mountain peak, Gu Yuanqing used the power of North Spring Mountain and his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye to survey the surrounding sea.

This Divine Turtle seemed tireless; once it awoke that day, it never rested, spending its days traversing the ocean, and now it was an unknown distance from where it had first come from.

The ocean of the Cultivation World is vast, as Gu Yuanqing has witnessed. It is boundless and immeasurable. Compared to it, the Floating World, the Exquisite World, and even the Ancient Realm seem insignificant.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened slightly. The North Spring Mountain appeared in the Demon Realm, and his eyes fell on the exit of the Underground Cave.

There, a giant tiger, hundreds of feet long, retreated rapidly from the entrance of the Underground Cave, its body covered in blood, with countless tiny wounds densely covering its entire body, making its whole body look like a piece of porcelain that had been shattered and pieced back together!

"This is... Tiger Lord's Avatar, possessing the strength of the Heavenly Transformation Peak, yet it's injured like this. This means that the Yin-Yang Realm Great Demon within the Underground Cave has made its move!"

Uh, I'm having a bit of writer's block, so only one chapter today.
