Aid from the Immortal Sect?
On North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing used his Mountain Observation Technique to watch the changes in the Floating World.
The Floating World uses North Spring Mountain as its transit point and takes the Demon Realm and the Cultivation World as its blueprints to gradually perfect itself. It contains the ultimate principles of the operation of Heaven and Earth. Such an opportunity is something that ordinary cultivators would never have the chance to see in the Heavenly Change Realm.
Gu Yuanqing is not yet able to "see" the deepest secrets within, but he has gained much insight from observing it.
These insights were the resources that enabled Gu Yuanqing to Transformation from the Heavenly Change Realm to the Yin-Yang Realm.
At the same time, North Spring Mountain itself is also transforming from Spirit Mountain into Grotto-Heaven. This transformation process is even more useful to Gu Yuanqing than the changes in the Floating World. In some ways, this Transformation process is similar to Gu Yuanqing's Transformation in the Heavenly Human World.
The so-called Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity follows nature; the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
The two fingers represent the changes of Yin and Yin-Yang.
The Yin-Yang Realm is the understanding of the changes of Yin-Yang, thereby laying the foundation for the Heavenly Human World, and enabling it to move from Void to reality.
Gu Yuanqing had already made considerable progress in his understanding of the power of Yin and Yin-Yang, which enabled him to combine a drop of True Blood with his Divine Sense using the power of North Spring Mountain, thus transforming it into a true Avatar.
However, he is still far from the true Yin-Yang Realm. Back then, the Dragon Demon Ancestor could create countless Avatar with a drop of blood and a Divine Sense.
"Perhaps when North Spring Mountain Transformation into Grotto-Heaven, that will be the time for me to achieve the Yin-Yang balance!"
Gu Yuanqing also had a vague understanding in his heart.
His Heavenly Human World is too vast, so his need for Yin-Yang comprehension naturally far exceeds that of ordinary Cultivator. For example, Celestial Person with the Path of Thunder as their foundation only needs to comprehend the principles of Yin-Yang transformation in the Thunder Dao to perhaps begin breaking through Yin-Yang.
But Gu Yuanqing needs to comprehend the Great Dao and Yin-Yang principles that construct the Heavenly Human World!
The more solid the foundation, the more is needed for each Transformation, and the more one gains after truly breaking through to a new level.
This is why Gu Yuanqing can fight across major realms.
As he gradually approached Perfection in the Heavenly Change Realm, he was now able to fight the Dragon Demon Ancestor in the Spiritual Mountain Trial without relying on the power of North Spring Mountain.
Awakening from enlightenment once again, Gu Yuanqing looked at the Heaven and Earth Stele and then activated the Heavenly Ladder.
Having experienced various illusions and battles, he stood atop the Thirty-Fourth Layer of the Heaven Tier.
In this battle, the defenders were on par with the Dragon Demon Ancestor, and Gu Yuanqing only managed a pyrrhic victory after exhausting all means.
As usual, I checked the Heavenly Ladder rewards and suddenly my eyes lit up. Among the rewards was a book Great Yi Array Dao True Understanding ".
When he was searching for the Mountain Protecting Great Formation, he had to ask Yi Yunbo to exchange for the Dharma Form Secret Manuals. Among them, the Nine Twists Soul Stirring Great Formation was obtained through Heavenly Ladder today.
The higher one climbs the Heavenly Ladder, the more precious the rewards become. This True Explanation of Array Dao was obtained by him after defeating the Yin-Yang Myriad Longevity Realm.
The Secret Manuals manuals are among the rarest rewards in the Heavenly Ladder system, and almost every one of them is extremely valuable.
Gu Yuanqing then took it out and probed it with his Divine Sense. It took him a long time to read through the entire Secret Manuals, but it would take him quite a while to fully comprehend it.
Although this book does not contain Array Formation like the Nine Twists Soul Stirring Great Formation Array Formation, it explains the Secret Manuals Array Formation from simple to complex, making it far more detailed than the formation manual that Gu Yuanqing obtained in the Exquisite World.
Gu Yuanqing smiled. Although the items obtained from each step of the Heavenly Ladder were all good and mostly suitable for that realm, this time was one of the most satisfying.
From then on, Gu Yuanqing spent a significant amount of time on this almost every day.
His mastery of Array Formation also improved rapidly. As a result, he had new ideas about the Nine Twists Soul Stirring Great Formation, which he thought he had mastered and improved.
He also seemed to have gained a new understanding of the Demon Subduing Sword Formation. Gu Yuanqing manipulated the Demon Subduing Sword Formation almost entirely by relying on the Demon Subduing Sword itself, mechanically using the Sword Formation. In fact, it contained many variations that he had never realized before.
Or rather, even if he knew about it with his limited knowledge of Array Formation, there was nothing he could do.
This sword Sword Formation was originally created by the Old Man Heavenly Sword. In some aspects, it directly points to the Immortal Path and is extremely profound. Although Gu Yuanqing inherited the Demon Subduing Sword Formation, his foundation was too poor and he had no famous teacher to guide him. Even with his extraordinary comprehension, it was difficult for him to grasp its essence in a short period of time.
This book, "The Great Yi Array Dao True Understanding," fills this gap.
Gu Yuanqing cultivated himself daily, seeking enlightenment on the Yin-Yang Dao while learning Array Formation, feeling that each day was too short.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, Gu Yuanqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Horizon beyond the Sea Islands.
"Hmm? Celestial Person from the Cultivation World?"
The visitor made no attempt to conceal their presence; their Pure Yang Aura, unique to Celestial Person, was easily detectable.
His gaze quickly locked onto a Flying Boat, on Flying Boat stood several people. The Pure Yang Aura of the Celestial Person was being released from the old man in the very center.
"Is that Qian Yuan Island?" Xiao Liyang pointed to the Island below.
"It should be. I've never been here before, but judging from the location in the sea, this is the place, and there are quite a few Cultivator on it, so it should be correct," Qin Anrong said.
Holding a Jade Slip, Xiao Liyang used his Divine Sense to compare the location in the sea area with the Map. He then looked up at the Stars in the sky and, after a moment, said with slight surprise, "There was indeed no record of this place before. I don't know anything about the Qian Yuan Sect, but Sect with the Minor Secret Realm realm shouldn't be completely unknown."
Qin Anrong's eyes were cold as he said, "Perhaps they were once an evil sect that was not tolerated by the Cultivation World. Now that they have reappeared, they have changed their name to prevent the Cultivation World from finding out."
"It's not impossible, but let's see them first." Xiao Liyang nodded slightly. In truth, his purpose in coming here was also to find out the origins and foundation of this newly emerged Sect.
North Yan Continent is the territory of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect. Although the North Sea area is only the outer perimeter of the North Yan Continent, how could a Sect that might possess Celestial Person not be taken seriously?
Whether they are friend or foe, whether they have ulterior motives, we need to find out.
Piloting the Flying Boat, they arrived at a place not far from Qian Yuan Island in a short time, with the Flying Boat hovering in mid-air.
Xiao Liyang gave a slight nod, Feng Haoran immediately understood. He leaped out of the Flying Boat, and a Calling Card flew into Qian Yuan Island with him. At the same time, he shouted, "Elder Xiao Liyang of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect has come to pay a visit. I request that the Celestial Person being of the Qian Yuan Sect appear to meet me!"
On the Island, a group of Cultivator from the North Sea Sect who were working suddenly looked up upon hearing the words, their eyes revealing joy.
"The Northern Underworld Immortal Sect has arrived? Could they be here to rescue us?"
"That's for sure. Once the Sect see that we haven't returned for a long time and know that we're trapped on Qian Yuan Island, they'll definitely go to the Immortal Sect for help."
