The Sanyang Sect entered the realm
A day later, the two Divine Soul Great Medicine were delivered to the Great Qian Dynasty through the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild.
He was personally received by Crown Prince Li Guanrong of the Great Qian Crown Prince and sent to the Imperial Palace. Subsequently, Li Chengyi personally led him into the North Spring Grotto-Heaven.
Even a low-grade Earth Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine can only truly exert its effects at the Void Heaven Peak realm.
At this time, no one in the Qian Yuan Realm could use it, but once the Divine Soul Great Medicine was harvested, its medicinal effects would dissipate extremely quickly. With Li Chengyi's strength, it was impossible for him to completely seal it away; only Gu Yuanqing could do it.
On the third day, the Sanyang Sect Heavenly Human prepared to enter the realm.
Li Shi'an led the people from the Heavenly Policy Mansion to wait outside the Teleportation Array.
The Teleportation Array shone brightly, and three figures appeared on the Array Platform.
One of them was Liao Xu, who went to the Purple Nether Realm to greet them.
The other two Cen Pingshan, the Sanyang Sect Sword Son, who carried Flying Sword on his back and wore a white robe with gold trim and sun patterns. The other was Liu Ruiyuan, Sanyang Sect Elder, who wore Purple Robe.
As soon as the two entered the Qian Yuan Realm, the seals on their bodies were broken, and the aura belonging to the Celestial Person was suddenly released, with the aura continuously rising.
The powerful aura caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to distort. Liao Xu, who was standing beside them, groaned and took several steps back before regaining his balance.
"Martial Aunt Liu, this realm truly can accommodate Celestial Person!" Cen Pingshan.
Liu Ruiyuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he said, "It not only accommodates Celestial Person, but even with my cultivation level, I haven't felt any pressure from Heaven and Earth. The strength of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao's origin in this realm is no less than that of the top ten Boundary Domain in the Exquisite World."
"It is indeed a good place!" Cen Pingshan smiled and glanced around.
"Let's go and meet these people from the Great Qian Dynasty." Liu Ruiyuan stepped forward, but his Celestial Person aura remained undiminished, releasing his power recklessly in all directions.
Due to the oppressive aura, a strong wind suddenly arose around the Teleportation Array, with yellow sand filling the sky and Dark Clouds forming, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
The soldiers guarding the Teleportation Array struggled against the Gale, barely able to keep their balance.
Li Shi'an's face darkened, realizing that the other side was trying to give his Qian Yuan Realm a hard time. He quickly activated the Qian Yuan Token to control the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy of this world.
Cen Pingshan and Liu Ruiyuan's gazes both fell on Li Shi'an. With their strength, they could naturally tell that Li Shi'an had used a Realm Token. Otherwise, how could a Cultivator at the Void Heaven Initial Stage quell the fluctuations in Yuan Qi caused by the aura of a Celestial Person Vital Energy?
"What a waste!" Liu Ruiyuan shook his head.
Cen Pingshan scoffed, "To allow a Void Heaven Cultivator to control the Realm Token of such a world, the people of the Qian Yuan Realm are truly audacious."
The two spoke without any restraint, their voices clearly reaching Li Shi'an's ears.
The soldiers standing around Li Shi'an looked angry; their words were clearly disrespectful to the Great Qian Dynasty.
Faced with the overwhelming pressure from the Celestial Person, they couldn't even manage to utter a sound!
Li Shi'an could only calm his mind by relying on the power of the Realm Token. He snorted coldly, "You two must be Cultivator from the Sanyang Sect, right? What my Qian Yuan Realm does is not for outsiders to judge. You two have come to the edge of my Boundary Domain to comprehend the changes of the Great Dao, so please do not linger here or wander around and disrupt the order of my Qian Yuan Realm!"
A cold glint flashed in Liu Ruiyuan's eyes as he said, "How dare a Void Heaven speak to me like that?"
Cen Pingshan snorted coldly, "The Great Qian Dynasty is truly lawless. Even Void Heaven dares to speak to Celestial Person like this! Even if I kill you, Gu Yuanqing will have no grounds for complaint!"
Li Shi'an said, "If distinguished guests arrive, our Great Qian Dynasty will naturally treat them with courtesy. If unwelcome guests come, then we also have ways to deal with them."
Liu Ruiyuan seemed to laugh in extreme anger, "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone dare to speak to me like that. Since your Qian Yuan Realm has no rules, then I'll teach you what rules are!"
Cen Pingshan stepped forward and said, "Uncle-Master, it's just a Void Heaven Realm cultivator. Why do you need to take action? If word gets out, people will think that my Sanyang Sect is bullying the weak. I'm here to test where the Great Qian Dynasty gets the audacity to say such things to my Sanyang Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change pressed down on Li Shi'an.
The previous series of changes were simply triggered by the release of Celestial Person energy, but this time it is different; it is the condensation of Celestial Person pressure.
Although Cen Pingshan was only First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, he received fortuitous opportunity from the Primordial Divine Sect, making him completely different from ordinary Cultivator First Tribulation of Heavenly Change in the Exquisite World. His aura also contained the sword power of the Pure Yang Sword of Crossing Tribulation.
Even with the power of the Realm Token, Li Shi'an could not stop it. His expression changed slightly as he could feel countless wisps of Sword Intent attempting to break through his Void Heaven Domain and invade his body.
Although it is only Sword Intent rather than Sword Qi, if it were to truly break into the Void Heaven World, it would probably not be pleasant.
Just then, Li Shi'an suddenly felt all the pressure vanish.
All of Cen Pingshan's power was suppressed by a mighty force. He let out a muffled groan, his inner Heavenly Human World and man trembled, his Divine Soul was agitated, and he was slightly injured.
Liu Ruiyuan's expression changed slightly. He took half a step forward, his Heavenly Human Realm expanding to protect Cen Ping'an behind him. He said in a deep voice, "Daoist Friend is Great Cultivator Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, and also possesses the body of Realm Master. Does he intend to bully the weak?"
Gu Yuanqing's voice drifted back. "Didn't you all make your move just to test my reaction?"
Liu Ruiyuan focused his gaze, looking around, but still couldn't find any trace of Gu Yuanqing. A slight chill ran through him. "Daoist Friend has misunderstood; we had no such intention."
"What you plan to do is none of my business, but once you come to my Qian Yuan Realm Qian Yuan Realm, you must abide by its rules. The Divine Soul Great Medicine sent by the Sanyang Sect is in exchange for allowing you two to comprehend the Great Dao in the borderlands. But if you do not follow the rules, don't blame me for expelling you from the realm!" Gu Yuanqing's words were calm, but they carried an undeniable authority.
Cen Pingshan raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but Liu Ruiyuan placed a hand on his shoulder, stopping him from opening his mouth.
As Sanyang Sect Sword Son, Cen Pingshan held an extraordinary position, even above that of ordinary Elder. However, he still had to listen to Liu Ruiyuan's words, especially since Liu Ruiyuan's aura had directly suppressed the words he wanted to say.
"I will keep in mind what Daoist Friend said today." Liu Ruiyuan was also angry, but since he was in the other party's Boundary Domain and it concerned Sword Son's cultivation, he had only slightly tested the waters before and did not want to completely fall out now. However, his words also carried some other meaning.
Gu Yuanqing also understood, but said indifferently, "Just remember it. The two of you shouldn't linger here, and it's best not to wander around. Just focus on comprehending the Dao to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Liu Ruiyuan's words grew increasingly cold. "Thank you for the reminder! Daoist Friend another day if fate allows."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took Cen Pingshan and rode away in a streak of light.
In mid-air.
Cen Pingshan finally managed to speak, "Martial Aunt Liu, this fellow surnamed Gu is far too arrogant!"
Liu Ruiyuan said, "Since we are currently in the other Boundary Domain, it's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
Cen Pingshan said with a grim expression, "I know that my martial uncle is considering my cultivation and fortuitous opportunity, but today's matter concerns the reputation of my Sanyang Sect. How can we back down like this?"
Liu Ruiyuan glanced at him sideways and said, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Pingshan, as Sword Son and the disciple of the Sect Master Senior Brother, it's not my place to speak to you. However, you may one day lead the Sanyang Sect Sect. You should understand that a wise man does not sit in a dangerous place. Since you are under someone else's roof, do not act rashly. Everything should be planned before you act. Especially since those who practice the Sanyang Sect's Cultivation Method are generally more impulsive and straightforward, you should think twice before you act."
Cen Pingshan took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle."
Liu Ruiyuan smiled slightly, glanced back, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. As Elder of the Sanyang Sect, when had anyone ever spoken to him like this? The grudges of today would be settled another day.
However, amidst these emotions, a fleeting feeling he himself hadn't noticed vanished.
Many of the Celestial Person Great Cultivator of the Sanyang Sect had fought against Gu Yuanqing Gu Yuanqing and should have been very familiar with him. He was no exception. However, too many years had passed, Gu Yuanqing's cultivation had changed too much, and this was only a brief contact from a distance. He was also preoccupied with too many thoughts and did not notice the difference.
Gu Yuanqing calmly withdrew his gaze. He knew the nature of the Sanyang Sect very well, and he was fully aware of their intentions. He could easily suppress and kill these two, but there was no need. After all, they had paid to enter. If he killed them, who would dare to enter the Qian Yuan Realm in the future? That would be cutting off their own path.
Of course, if the Sanyang Sect really intends to cause trouble in the Qian Yuan Realm, then he can't be blamed.
Liao Xu from the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild watched the whole process, and when he saw Liu Ruiyuan and the others leave, his mouth almost dropped open.
He thought to himself, "The Qian Yuan Realm is truly brave. They actually dare to speak to the Sanyang Sect Elder like this. Aren't they afraid of accumulating resentment and being used against them in the future?"
Li Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was grim as he looked at the two streaks of light in the distance. Today, he once again felt the powerlessness and helplessness caused by the disparity in strength.
"Even with my Void Heaven cultivation level, I'm still too weak in the within the Exquisite World. Especially since the Qian Yuan Realm can accommodate Heavenly Human, there will surely be many more Celestial Person entering in the future. If I only had Void Heaven cultivation, I'm afraid I would still experience the same frustration as today!"
Even though Li Chengyi was in the Imperial Palace, he was still able to sense the Motion and Stillness next to the Teleportation Array thanks to the Imperial City Formation and the Realm Token.
Although he knew that his father was Yin-Yang Great Cultivator and that the Sanyang Sect could not cause any trouble upon entering the realm, it seemed that his father had to take action for everything. As the ruler of the dynasty, he was powerless to do anything about it, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Over the years, I have indeed become somewhat lax in my cultivation. Now I have the Boundless River Dao Soul, the Divine Soul Great Medicine, the Red Dust Wine, the Law Treasure left to me by my mother, the Cultivation Method specially deduced for me by my father, and the support of a nation. Even my father back then could not match my resources."
Even if my aptitude is not as good as my father's, and it is impossible for me to achieve Yin-Yang in a short time, I should not compare myself with those ordinary Cultivator. I should set my goals more strictly. I am currently in the Void Heaven Initial Stage. Within fifty years, I should pass the Heavenly Tribulation and become Celestial Person! Li Chengyi's gaze slowly became sharp.
Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly, taking all of this into account. Allowing Celestial Person to enter would bring many benefits if managed properly. Besides the Divine Soul Great Medicine, it would also put greater pressure on the Cultivator in the Boundary Domain.
His gaze then fell upon Liu Ruiyuan and Cen Pingshan.
Liu Ruiyuan and Cen Pingshan were still traveling by their escape light when they immediately felt a sense of being spied on.
They couldn't pinpoint the source of the prying gaze, but they knew without guessing that it must be from that man surnamed Gu.
Both of them looked rather grim; no Cultivator would want to be stared at like that.
The two continued onward without daring to stop for even a moment, until they reached the edge of the area, at which point the feeling of being constantly on edge disappeared.
Cen Pingshan couldn't help but ask, "Martial Aunt Liu, do you know how this Gu fellow is monitoring us? We can't find any trace of him at all."
"Regarding the Path of Incense and Fire, there are few records in the Ancient Records of our Sanyang Sect. We only know that it is extremely strange. With the blessing of Gu Yuanqing's Realm Token Empowerment, it is even more difficult to fathom what kind of power it can unleash. This is also the reason why the Sect Master agreed to exchange the Divine Soul Great Medicine for our entry into the Realm." Liu Ruiyuan's expression was slightly solemn.
Gu Yuanqing could still clearly see the two of them, but they couldn't sense him unless he deliberately released his aura.
If these two break the rules in the future, he wouldn't mind using this as a spur and reminder.
For Gu Yuanqing, this required no effort at all; he only needed to pay a little attention when Mountain Gazing Enlightenment.
The transaction between the Sanyang Sect and the Qian Yuan Realm was originally a secret, and not many people knew about it. However, today, when the people of the Sanyang Sect released their Celestial Person aura, the Great Qian Dynasty released this news completely through the Heavenly Policy Mansion.
The news immediately caused quite a stir.
"Have you heard? The Celestial Person Cultivator from the Sanyang Sect have also come to the Qian Yuan Realm to comprehend the Dao, and they've paid a hefty price—one Divine Soul Great Medicine per year!"
"You must have misheard, right? When did the Sanyang Sect become so rule-abiding and generous? Giving them Divine Soul Great Medicine just for coming to comprehend the Dao?"
"How could it be false? That day, two Celestial Person auras appeared in Teleportation Array the Qian Yuan Realm; many people sensed them."
These messages spread rapidly through the Ancient Realm and among the people traveling via the Teleportation Array, immediately drawing the Qian Yuan Realm back into the view of many.
Although it was just a transaction, it attracted more attention than the original feud between the Qian Yuan Realm and Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower, simply because it involved the Sanyang Sect.
As the third Sect in the world, it naturally attracts a lot of attention!
The Illusionary Spirit Sect quickly received the news. Upon hearing it, the Illusionary Spirit Sect Master, Lu Zeyu, had a strange expression. He knew about the feud between the Sanyang Sect and Gu Yuanqing, and could even guess some of the Sanyang Sect's plans.
He wondered what Baili Jinghong would think if he ever learned that Gu Yuanqing was the one they had exchanged ten Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine for to settle their grudges.
Thinking of this, Lu Zeyu couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself, "This Brother Gu is quite a remarkable person."
