Another Ten Years
"The meaning of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle is that my Swordsmanship is incorrect. It seems that my understanding of the Demon Subduing Sword Demon Subduing Sword still insufficient, and I have not truly unleashed its power. Heavenly Demon Sword Aspect today, it is still far inferior!"
Gu Yuanqing was also surprised. He had previously specialized in Sword Dao, but with North Spring Mountain under his control, he could cultivate ten thousand paths, so he put Sword Dao aside. Although, as he learned more about the Old Man Heavenly Sword and the Demon Subduing Sword, he devoted a lot of his attention to it.
However, compared to those who truly practice the Sword Dao, they are still far inferior.
At least Gu Yuanqing could not incorporate all the Great Dao into the Sword Dao.
Even now, knowing that the Demon Subduing Sword and the Demon Subduing Sword Formation might be the key to unlocking Qingping Grotto-Heaven, he still cannot focus all his attention on cultivating the Demon Subduing Sword.
Of course, with this incident, he will definitely pay more attention to his Sword Dao cultivation. After all, the Qingping Grotto-Heaven has the complete inheritance of the Old Man Heavenly Sword. If he can obtain it, there may be a complete path to the Immortal Realm.
In the days that followed, both the Dragon Demon Realm and the Cultivation World seemed to quiet down, but Gu Yuanqing knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Knowing of the existence of the Three Absolutes Island and the Demon Subduing Sword, the Heavenly Demon Sword Master will not let this go easily, and the Demonic Dragon Mountain will likely not tolerate the loss of a Divine General in the Dragon Demon Realm.
Furthermore, there's the Yunmeng Holy Land; Gu Yuanqing seized its fortuitous opportunity, and it's likely things won't end well for him either.
After considering all the surrounding forces, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
To be honest, all he wanted was to cultivate peacefully and quietly. He didn't want to provoke anyone, and in fact, he had never truly left North Spring Mountain over the years.
But the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease, and various troubles continue.
Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient strength. If a single slap could kill an enemy, who would dare to come near?
All these factors forced him to become stronger quickly, otherwise trouble might come knocking at any time.
He once again focused all his attention on his spiritual practice.
The path of cultivation in the Yin-Yang Realm, the path of Array Formation, the Demon -Demon Subduing Sword, the Object Control, the Heavenly Fishing Technique, the Mountain Observation Technique, and various other Spell Art— time seemed to flow by like water.
So much so that it was more than three months later when he thought of the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed again.
When he summoned the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed from the Heaven and Earth Pool, the Unicorn Beast seemed to have forgotten how to walk, thrashing about on the ground a few times before finally regaining its footing.
It stared blankly at the Heaven and Earth and the familiar land, tears almost streaming down its face.
The magnificent steed had turned into a fish, swimming exhaustedly in the vast ocean, unable to escape, and even encountering a giant fish that nearly swallowed it whole.
With its Innate Divine Ability, it had never encountered such a situation before!
Gu Yuanqing looked at the Unicorn Beast standing there motionless, reached out and patted its head, asking in confusion, "Has it gone mad?"
The Unicorn Beast seemed to only then notice Gu Yuanqing, and in fright, it took several steps back before its legs trembled and it collapsed to the ground.
Gu Yuanqing's body stiffened slightly. Am I that scary?
Gu Yuanqing touched it with his Divine Sense and immediately heard the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed cry out in a tearful voice, "Don't leave me down, okay? I won't run away!"
Uh, this guy seems to be scared. I've thrown quite a few people and demons down before, but nothing like this has ever happened before. Oh, right, I forgot, this guy said he's still a minor!
Gu Yuanqing coughed lightly and said calmly, "Then you can stay here in the Mountain for now. If you misbehave, I'll throw you back in and I won't let you out!"
The Heaven Treading Immortal Steed repeatedly, even managing to force an awkward smile.
"Go, but don't leave the mountain. Even with your Yin-Yang Realm strength, you mustn't bully other people or animals in the Mountain. By the way, from now on, you'll be called Little White!" Gu Yuanqing said.
Upon hearing the name Little White, the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed widened its eyes and was about to shake its head, clearly dissatisfied. However, after meeting Gu Yuanqing's gaze, it was too frightened to express its opinion.
Gu Yuanqing waved his hand.
The Heaven Treading Immortal Steed turned and ran, trying to get away from Gu Yuanqing, even though it knew that with most of its cultivation sealed, there was no point in escaping anywhere!
Gu Yuanqing chuckled. He wasn't in a hurry to force him to submit. Firstly, he had no plans to leave North Spring Mountain recently. Secondly, the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed was no longer as useful to him as it had been at the beginning, since he himself had already reached the Yin Yang Realm and was proficient in Spatial Art.
At the same time, if it is true, as the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed itself said, it will take another six hundred years to reach adulthood and fully awaken its bloodline before it can possess the Divine Ability of Netherworld Nine Heavens. Perhaps it will be of great use only then!
For now, let him stay in North Spring Mountain to recuperate and be slowly trained.
And so a white figure appeared in the mountains. Not long after, a beautiful little girl appeared on the back of the Unicorn Beast, with three Fox Tail occasionally flashing behind her.
Whenever Li Chengyi was in the Mountain, a snow-white Three-Tailed Fox would ride on the back of the Unicorn Beast.
The half-grown Little Fox liked to stay by Li Chengyi's side whenever he was around, while the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed followed beside him, curiously watching Li Chengyi.
Li Chengyi wasn't too surprised by the sudden appearance of the celestial steed. It must have been his father's doing. There were countless strange Strange Beast with extraordinary cultivation in these mountains, some of which were even stronger than him.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Gu Yuanqing was also happy to see Li Chengyi and the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed get close. After the inter- World Conflict, Li Chengyi might have to leave the mountain to Cultivation World. If the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed was willing to stay with him, unless Huntian intervened, he wouldn't need to worry too much about its safety.
As time went by, the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed became more at ease in the Mountain. After all, North Spring Mountain was full of spirit medicine, all of which were delicious to it!
It was originally a celestial steed, but many things in the Demon Realm tasted off to it. However, the food in North Spring Mountain suited its taste perfectly, and after eating a lot of it, it felt that the speed at which its Bloodline Awakening was accelerating.
Occasionally, when Gu Yuanqing was in a good mood, he would use the Heavenly Fishing Method to condense Dao Bait to feed it, which gradually made the cat, which was originally afraid of Gu Yuanqing, become closer to him.
Even if you tried to chase it away, it probably wouldn't want to! Where would it find such delicious food if it left this place?
Gu Yuanqing watched these changes with a smile, thinking that the "carrot and stick" approach works well no matter where you go.
However, when this guy and the Little Fox got together, they often caused chaos and disorder in the Mountain.
The Cultivator in the Mountain were furious with the two of them. Many of their carefully cultivated spirit medicine had disappeared without them noticing, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were all raised by Gu Yuanqing and were so close to Li Chengyi!
Several years passed in the blink of an eye, Gu Yuanqing's voice once again rang in the ears of all living beings in the Floating World.
"Ten days later, at the Third Quarter of the Chen Hour, I will preach again!"
