He wouldn't get it!
More and more people in the Exquisite World are learning that the Qian Yuan Realm can accommodate Celestial Person, and this lucrative opportunity has attracted a lot of attention.
However, due to the arrival of the Sanyang Sect Heavenly Human, the external situation of the Qian Yuan Realm has actually become peaceful.
These Sect and forces all wanted to see what the Sanyang Sect was planning.
Some Sect into the Qian Yuan Realm for a visit, but the Qian Yuan Realm still has restrictions on Cultivator entering. Everyone knows the cost of Celestial Person entering, and not many Sect are willing to pay such a price.
Each Divine Soul Great Medicine is extremely important to the Sect; even Lower Earth Tier could potentially allow the Sect to produce an additional Celestial Person expert.
North Spring Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Hall, Mountain Gazing Enlightenment, sensing the changes of Yin-Yang, the interaction between the inner and outer worlds, and perfecting the Transformation of the Heavenly Human World.
His cultivation of the Demon Subduing Sword Dao has gradually become more profound, and he has mastered all seven methods of the Big Dipper Seven Swords.
In his spare time from cultivation, he used the refining method he obtained from Lie Shanhan to refine the Lie Shan Seal. He did not intend to control this Law Treasure, but rather to use it to peek into the nine Dao Principle Imprint within Law Treasure.
Each Dao Principle Imprint is a condensation of the Great Dao Laws; observing it is like observing the Dao of others.
This is of great use to Gu Yuanqing, who is currently condensing the Dao Principle Imprint. Moreover, Gu Yuanqing's Heavenly Human World contains all kinds of Great Dao, which means that he can condense the Dao Principle Imprint of all kinds of Great Dao. Of course, how many he can condense in the end depends on his own understanding of the various Great Dao and his own Creation.
If it were anyone else, even if they obtained Dao Artifact, they would find it difficult to comprehend these markings. However, as the master of North Spring Cave, he could see everything clearly by Mountain-Viewing Object Control, as long as he controlled himself to avoid being devoured by the power of the Dao Artifact.
There is no doubt that the Dao Principle Imprint on the Lie Shan Seal were of great use to him.
At the same time, Gu Yuanqing also tried the Purple Flame Demon Suppressing Ring obtained from Lie Shanyi. This sword was also extraordinary, with seven Dao Principle Imprint. Judging from the number alone, it was a treasure of the same level as the Demon Subduing Sword.
Law Treasure at this level are no longer ordinary Dao Artifact; for example, the Dao Principle Imprint of the Lie Shan Seal are difficult to directly observe.
Once the Divine Sense comes into contact with it, the power of the Dao Principle Imprint will be reflected in the Sea of Consciousness. Gu Yuanqing cannot subdue it with his own power, so he cannot truly observe it.
Time flies like water, and several months pass in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ruiyuan and Cen Pingshan of the Sanyang Sect had been sitting cross-legged on the Qian Yuan Realm Borderlands.
A perfectly round pearl, the size of an infant's fist, enveloped the two of them, with countless fine Runes shimmering and resisting Outer Realm pressure.
They observed the ever-changing and emerging Great Dao in this place through the Secret Method of the Sanyang Sect.
The Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water evolve, collide and merge violently, and occasionally golden light leaps and appears as if Innate Runes runes.
All the Great Dao Laws become clear in this process.
Suddenly, Liu Ruiyuan stood up. "Pingshan, you continue your meditation; I'll be right back."
"Be careful, Uncle-Master!" Cen Pingshan nodded.
Liu Ruiyuan leaped out of the pearl, protected by his Heavenly Human Realm, and flew along the edge. Then, enveloped in a stream of light, he broke into the magma below.
Several days later, he broke through the magma and flew out, the light of the Law Treasure on his body dimming.
He flew back to the place where he had attained enlightenment at Cen Pingshan and landed inside the precious pearl.
"Martial Aunt Liu, how is it?" Cen Pingshan asked.
Liu Ruiyuan shook his head. "The Great Dao is chaotic at the edge of the Boundary Domain, making it difficult for Divine Sense to explore far. I didn't find it, but I did collect some other rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, judging from the changes in this Boundary Domain's expansion, it is very likely that this treasure will be born."
Every few days thereafter, Liu Ruiyuan would go out several times, and when his True Essence and Divine Soul were exhausted, he would return to the pearl to take Restoration Pill to restore his cultivation.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Two more Celestial Person have arrived in the Qian Yuan Realm. Shi Ziqian, True Disciple of the Wuchen Sect, has broken through to the Celestial Person level and entered the Qian Yuan Realm Borderlands to comprehend the Dao. She also has protectors following her.
Gu Yuanqing was also familiar with this person; it was Tang Yi, who had fought a great battle against Liu Ruiyuan for him back then.
Wuchen Sect had no intention of causing trouble here. After exchanging a few words with Li Shi'an, they took Shi Ziqian and left.
It's unclear who leaked the news of Shi Ziqian's arrival in the Qian Yuan Realm, but it has attracted the attention of many Sect.
The feud between the Sanyang Sect and the Wuchen Sect has a long history, and Cen Pingshan and Shi Ziqian are also sworn enemies. Their conflict started in the Void Heaven and has continued to this day. Now that they have entered the Qian Yuan Realm at the same time, it is unknown what will happen next.
This prompted many Cultivator eager to witness the spectacle to enter the Qian Yuan Realm.
Unfortunately, the Qian Yuan Realm still has no plans to fully open up.
A year has passed, and there are only seven Celestial Person have truly entered the Qian Yuan Realm and attained enlightenment.
Each person was allowed to enter only after reporting to the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild in advance and presenting Divine Soul Great Medicine.
If anyone who entered made any unusual moves, Gu Yuanqing would intervene to suppress or warn them. Therefore, the entry of the Celestial Person did not actually have any impact on the Qian Yuan Realm.
Those who can Celestial Person are not fools. With precedents like the Shadow Cult and the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower, and the Sanyang Sect and the Wuchen Sect all abiding by the rules, why would they act recklessly and invite trouble upon themselves?
Gu Yuanqing had seen what Liu Ruiyuan had done, but he didn't plan to interfere right now.
Half a month later, Li Chengyi finally fully digested what he had gained from the previous Ancient Realm battle and converted the foundation he had acquired from the previous World Conflict into strength, thus breaking through to the Middle Stage the Void Heaven Realm.
Subsequently, Gu Yuanqing summoned him to the North Spring Grotto-Heaven and sent him to Qian Yuan Island in the Cultivation World to allow his cultivation to settle.
Half a month later, Gu Yuanqing handed him a Divine Soul Great Medicine.
"Father, wouldn't it be a waste for me to take this Earth Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine now?"
"It's alright. Your Divine Soul is already stronger than that of ordinary Void Heaven Cultivator, and this Jade Dew Heart-Nourishing Orchid has a mellow medicinal power, which is just right for you. The only slight drawback is that the Dao Resonance contained in this great medicine is different from the Great Dao you cultivate. But the essence of a great medicine for the Divine Soul is to replenish the origin, so there's no need to worry too much about the Dao Resonance."
After Li Chengyi Refinement the Divine Soul Great Medicine, he spent several more days settling down.
Gu Yuanqing then used his Avatar to train him, helping him to transform into a Daoist and increase his strength.
Gradually, although he was still only at the Middle Stage of the Void Heaven, he was able to fight against the Void Heaven Peak experts in the Exquisite World even without the help of the Realm Token.
If we can rely on the Realm Token, even if the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, we might still be able to fight.
Afterwards, Li Chengyi returned to the Imperial Palace for half a month to handle some matters, and then returned to North Spring Grotto-Heaven with Li Shi'an.
Gu Yuanqing sent a Split Soul inside, taking Li Chengyi with him to the Teleportation Array to pick up Li Shi'an, and then went to the Boundless River.
This time, Gu Yuanqing spoke much less. Instead, Li Chengyi imparted all his knowledge to Li Shi'an, only correcting him when mistakes or omissions occurred.
To avoid any trouble, all three of them changed their positions.
While Li Shi'an and Li Chengyi were fishing by the Boundless River, Gu Yuanqing crafted several jade tokens for them to carry with them.
Both knew this was for their own survival, and they carefully stored it away.
Then, Gu Yuanqing drifted away.
He first went to the Phantom Spirit World's Residence and met with Yi Yunbo, asking him to take care of Li Chengyi and others.
Yi Yunbo laughed loudly, "Brother Gu doesn't need to bring this up. As long as your son is by the Boundless River, my Illusionary Spirit Sect will never allow anything to happen to him."
"Thank you very much!" Gu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"Brother Gu, you're too kind. By the way, there's something else. I wonder if you would be willing to help me?" Yi Yunbo said.
Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Yi Yunbo smiled and said, "My Master and I are preparing to go to the Qian Yuan Realm Borderlands to cultivate the Dao. We are currently sending a message to the Great Qian Dynasty through the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild. We just happened to run into Brother Gu today, so we thought we'd let him know."
Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "If it were you two coming, there would be no need for such trouble. I'll just tell my men to let Fellow Daoist Friend and Fellow Daoist Qiu come as they please."
Yi Yunbo waved his hand and said, "Although we are friends, the rules cannot be broken, just like when Brother Gu was fishing at the Ancient Fishing Platform back then. Otherwise, the Qian Yuan Realm will be in trouble in the future. My Illusionary Spirit Sect can still provide some Divine Soul Great Medicine."
"Then it's up to you!" Gu Yuanqing smiled.
After bidding farewell to Yi Yunbo and returning to Nine Bends Mountain, Gu Yuanqing withdrew from the Ancient Realm.
His cultivation level also reached a crucial point: only when his Divine Soul Perfection could he perceive both the inner and outer worlds.
With the jade tablet, the lives of Li Chengyi and the others could be saved.
Once the jade pendant breaks, he can immediately sense it and use the Heavenly Angling Technique to pull the two back to reality. As for everything else, they can explore on their own.
Three days later, Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing arrived as expected.
Li Guanrong received the guests on behalf of his grandfather, with Ji Dai and Qin Wuya also accompanying him.
Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing were quite low-key and very polite to Li Guanrong, without considering Celestial Person.
Li Guanrong greeted them in Flying Boat and led them to the front of North Spring Grotto-Heaven. He then led them through the Memorial Archway and up the mountain path until they reached the main peak.
Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing only felt that North Spring Mountain was majestic and towering, shrouded in Cloudmist, and full of Spiritual Qi, but they could not perceive at all that this place was not just a mountain, but a vast Grotto-Heaven.
Gu Yuanqing greeted them at the mountaintop crossroads, and the master and disciple were flattered and overwhelmed.
It should be understood that no matter how much friendship they had before, they were merely Cultivator had undergone the First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, while Gu Yuanqing was Yin-Yang Great Cultivator.
To be greeted here is to give them the utmost respect.
After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Yuanqing led the two on a tour of the Mountain's Strange Phenomenon, where they observed the clouds and mist, and looked down upon the Heaven and Earth of the Qian Yuan Realm.
Qiu Ziqing sighed, "Such Boundary Domain, such Spirit Mountain, no wonder it could produce a great cultivator like Daoist Friend, Great Cultivator Daoist. Within the within the Exquisite World, everyone thinks you entered the Daoist Friend through Incense Power and used the Realm Token to gain power. If Daoist Friend decades ago, you could suppress the Sanyang Sect single-handedly, countless Cultivator would be astonished."
Gu Yuanqing shook his head and said, "It's all in the past."
Yi Yunbo suddenly said, "I've heard that Liu Ruiyuan and Cen Pingshan of the Sanyang Sect are both comprehending the Dao in the Qian Yuan Realm. I'm afraid their situation is not so simple."
Gu Yuanqing's gaze fell into the distance, and he smiled, "It's certainly not that simple. I wonder what Liu Ruiyuan is searching for in the magma at the edge of the Boundary Domain."
Qiu Ziqing said, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be searching for the Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal. This extremely yang and powerful substance is a priceless treasure for the Sanyang Sect!"
"Oh?" Gu Yuanqing said.
Qiu Ziqing said, "The Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal can only be born in such places of Boundary Domain expansion and during the evolution of the Great Dao. As time goes by, this treasure will turn from Yang to Yin, and Yin-Yang will combine. Then it will decline after reaching its peak and become an ordinary material for refining weapons."
If someone at the Peak of Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change obtains it, they can comprehend its Yin-Yang transformations.
Those who obtain it from the Sanyang Sect can use Secret Method to refine it into their Heavenly Human World, using it as a catalyst to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm Opportunity.
Yi Yunbo laughed and said, "If they get their hands on this, they'll make a fortune. For the Sanyang Sect, even Heaven Tier Divine Soul Great Medicine might not be as valuable as this."
Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly, "What he can't obtain, he can come to my Qian Yuan Realm to comprehend the Dao, but if he wants to search for treasures, then it's all a waste of effort!"
Qiu Ziqing Yi Yunbo both laughed heartily. They naturally believed what a Yin-Yang Great Cultivator said.
Li Guanrong stood by, watching how the two Celestial Person of the Illusionary Spirit Sect treated his Grandfather. He felt more confident, as the Illusionary Spirit Sect was the second-ranked Sect in the within the Exquisite World.
At night, the royal chefs prepared a banquet, accompanied by court music and dance, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
The next day, Qiu Ziqing Yi Yunbo both rode away in their escape lights.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. The Sanyang Sect had not achieved its goal and Deathlessness. They sent a message through the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild, preparing to renew the contract for another year. However, this time the Divine Soul Great Medicine would be traded through the Ancient Realm.
The Elder of the Sanyang Sect wished to meet Gu Yuanqing in the Ancient Realm.
Gu Yuanqing simply replied, "If you wish to remain in this realm, then send over the Divine Soul Great Medicine. There's nothing else to discuss."
Upon hearing this reply, Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild felt a headache coming on. But there was nothing they could do but report the truth.
The Sanyang Sect seemed unwilling to cause any more trouble, and continued to send the Divine Soul Great Medicine through the Heavenly Treasure Merchant Guild.
Gu Yuanqing meditated quietly for half a day, then suddenly Mountain Observation towards the Qian Yuan Realm Borderlands. He chuckled to himself, "So this is what they were looking for?"
Liu Ruiyuan was standing deep within the magma, looking at a fist-sized rock that shimmered with a brilliant white light, his eyes filled with surprise.
He then threw out a Pill Furnace, intending to collect the stone into it, but in the blink of an eye, the stone vanished without a trace.
Liu Ruiyuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with divine light as he scanned his surroundings and shouted sharply, "Which Daoist Friend is playing such a joke on me?"
He couldn't find anyone, even after the Heavenly Human Realm opened, he still couldn't see any trace of them, and there was no sign of the Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal either.
He immediately thought of Gu Yuanqing. Only someone holding the Realm Token could have done this. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Daoist Friend, why hide your face? Apart from you, I doubt anyone in this Boundary Domain can conceal their presence from me!"
"Since you've already guessed, there's no need for me to hide anything. Yes, it is indeed me, Gu."
The voices came from all directions, and Liu Ruiyuan turned his head to look around.
However, Gu Yuanqing was not seen, because Gu Yuanqing was still in North Spring Grotto-Heaven at this time, and everything in front of him was just using the Object Control Power Mountain Observation Yuwu.
Liu Ruiyuan said coldly, "What did Daoist Friend mean by that just now?"
Gu Yuanqing's voice came again. "What do you mean? Are you asking me? I'd like to ask you what you mean. The Divine Soul Great Medicine was offered in exchange for you to come in and comprehend the changes of the Great Dao, not for you to come in and search for treasures. It's one thing to have already searched for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but you also want to take away the Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal? Where in the world is there such a good deal?"
