The Turtle-Back Formation
Gu Yuanqing had searched the Island before, but found nothing after looking at it once. Then he was attracted by the Divine Turtle on the ground and did not notice anything special about the island other than being Divine Turtle.
But according to what Ji Shan said that day, there seems to be a Grotto-Heaven on this Island!
Qingping Grotto-Heaven was once the Daoist temple of the Old Man Heavenly Sword.
This still held considerable appeal for Gu Yuanqing at this time.
Leaving aside the cultivation fortuitous opportunity that may exist within the Grotto-Heaven, the legacy of the Old Man Heavenly Sword alone is extraordinary.
As the Number One Person in the Cultivation World, and Cultivator is also likely to ascend to immortality, his Cultivation Method must be among the most advanced in the world.
Gu Yuanqing's own Cultivation Method is based on the Formless Heart Sutra of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. As one of the Sect in the world, the Formless Heart Sutra is naturally extremely profound.
However, this Cultivation Method is not a truly perfect version; it only reaches the Heavenly Change Realm.
This is not surprising, after all, Zhang Xuanlin himself is only at the Heavenly Change Realm, and he is not even a member of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, but only obtained it by fortuitous opportunity.
Of course, Gu Yuanqing was not without options. After all, he had obtained many Human Race Cultivation Method from the Demon Race Dragon Demon Realm Domain, and he had also made some gains in the within the Exquisite World. Although these Cultivation Method were only at the Heavenly Human Level, Gu Yuanqing learned about Xu Xing's Yin-Yang Realm from the Dragon Demon Ancestor.
Although the Cultivation Method of the Demon Race differ from those of the Human Race, all paths ultimately lead to the same goal, differing only in their specific routes.
Knowing the road ahead, it's simply a matter of expending more energy to deduce it.
He had the Spiritual Mountain Trial, which provided him with the chance to make mistakes, and ultimately he was able to get back on the right path.
However, the difficulty of having predecessors as a guide and forging one's own path is self-evident.
If one could inherit a skill, it would save a lot of time.
At the same time, a lineage not only contains the methods, but also the techniques!
For Cultivator, the Dao is the goal, the Dharma is the means, and the techniques are used to protect the Dao.
Gu Yuanqing searched the Island very carefully, leaving no place unchecked.
However, I still didn't see anything strange.
His Divine Sense gradually penetrated deeper into the Island, and through layers of rock and soil, he finally sensed something unusual, only to discover that it came from the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle.
The soil here is connected to the Turtle Shell of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, and faint, ethereal spiritual energy emanates from it.
Gu Yuanqing's Divine Sense paused, and after a moment's hesitation, he dared not delve any deeper.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle is currently in a state of cultivation, and any rash exploration would awaken it. North Spring Mountain resides on the back of the Divine Turtle, it can be considered a friend rather than an enemy.
If this leads to unforeseen circumstances, then the losses will outweigh the gains!
"It seems that if Grotto-Heaven truly exists, it might not be on this Island, but rather on the back of the Divine Turtle!"
After a long while, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes and looked down again with his Void Piercing Heavenly Eye.
Although he didn't find the Grotto-Heaven, Gu Yuanqing didn't leave empty-handed.
Deep within the mountains, traces of Formation are hidden amidst the spiritual energy.
Although he couldn't see the whole picture, Gu Yuanqing still gleaned some insights from it.
This magic Formation is incredibly profound!
After exchanging ideas with Ji Shan, Gu Yuanqing's mastery of Array Formation had far surpassed what he had before, yet he still couldn't see through this formation.
However, through continuous verification, they suddenly discovered some traces of the Demon Subduing Formation.
The light in Gu Yuanqing's eyes shone even brighter. With the Demon Subduing Sword Formation as a reference, Gu Yuanqing's thinking immediately became clear.
He stood on that mountain for three more days before finally closing his eyes.
After a moment, the Demon Subduing Sword appeared in his palm, and his Divine Sense once again entered the core of the Demon Subduing Sword.
In an instant, this core connected with Gu Yuanqing's consciousness, pulling him back into the illusory space, where a star map appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the changes in the Star Chart again, different insights emerged. There seemed to be some subtle changes that I hadn't noticed before, and a sense of joy rose in my heart.
An hour later, the Demon Subduing Sword flew out of his hand, transforming into countless sword shadows. The sword shadows intertwined and formed a mysterious force field, with the Suppression Intent and a sinister murderous intent intent hidden within.
The power of the entire Sword Formation suddenly more than doubled.
Gu Yuanqing laughed loudly, "So that's how it is, haha!"
Only now has Gu Yuanqing truly mastered the essence of the Demon Subduing Sword.
Although the Demon Subduing Sword was powerful in the past, it was still quite different from the legacy of a near-immortal expert.
But today, with the confirmation of the Formation on the Black Tortoise, it has finally gradually revealed its true nature.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
"Actually, there should be some changes in that Star Chart that I haven't seen through yet. Or rather, this seemingly ordinary Star Chart should be hiding deeper changes that require a certain level of cultivation, insight, and knowledge to understand!"
Gu Yuanqing smiled and muttered to himself, "I knew that the Heavenly Demon Sword could stir up a bloodbath in the Cultivation World, while the Demon Subduing Sword, which is also one of the Four Swords, shouldn't be so ordinary. It turns out that I just didn't see through it."
"Speaking of which, I really should thank Ji Shan. If it weren't for communicating with him, even if I saw the hidden Formation traces on the back of the divine Divine Turtle, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see the connection between it and the Demon Subduing Sword Formation. If I had to study it on my own, I don't know how long it would have taken before I could understand the hidden mysteries of the Demon Subduing Sword Formation like I am now."
Within a cave dwelling in the Yunmeng Holy Land.
Xiao Yunqi knelt below. "Greetings, Master!"
On the stone bed in front, a middle-aged man in Blue Robe robes, sitting cross-legged on a futon, opened his eyes. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, then disappeared, and he remained calm. He did not look behind him, but simply looked at Xiao Yunqi quietly.
This person was none other than Xiao Lingyue Holy Lord of the Yunmeng Holy Land.
Xiao Yunqi, not daring to lift it. He could feel his Master's gaze, and before he knew it, sweat was dripping from his face.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple has disappointed Master. I was not careful enough, which allowed that Demon Beast to enter the Ancient Marsh and caused me to lose the fortuitous opportunity to achieve Yin-Yang cultivation. I beg Master to punish me!"
"Forget it, this time it wasn't entirely your fault. With your cultivation level, you couldn't have stopped the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle. You just lost fortuitous opportunity, and you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. Losing the fortuitous opportunity of the Yin-Yang Star Array might affect your breakthrough to the Yin-Yang Realm. Your foundation won't be as solid, and your path to the Huntian will be more difficult in the future." The middle-aged man said calmly.
Xiao Yunqi clenched his fist, and finally said, "The Great Dao is not a smooth path; trials can temper one 'Dao Heart. This disciple will certainly remember this lesson. Even if I fail to forge a perfect Yin-Yang -Yang foundation, this disciple believes that I can definitely break through to the Huntian."
The Yunmeng Holy Master nodded slightly, then raised his hand and waved it. Two large, strange Mysterious Stone appeared in the air, then were sealed and compressed into the size of a fist by some force, landing in front of Xiao Yunqi: "These two stones are the Taiyin Stone and the Taiyang Stone, respectively. Although they are not as good as the Yin-Yang Star Liquid, when used together and activated by the Profound Micro Great Formation, they can reveal the mysteries of Yin-Yang and Yang. They are also the most suitable for you at present. Use them to break through to the Yin-Yang."
"Thank you very much, Master!" Xiao Yunqi overjoyed.
"Tell me what you saw and heard in the Lower Realm!" the Yunmeng Holy Master said calmly.
