Space Crushed by North Spring Mountain

"No, I fought him, and I was no match for him," Kuang Tongyi replied calmly.

"You're no match for me either? Are you perhaps Trialist here?" The gaunt old man in gray robes asked, somewhat surprised.

Kuang Tongyi shook his head and said, "I am not Trialist, but a native of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"When did the Great Qian produce such a figure?" the old man frowned.

Kuang Tongyi smiled and said, "This person is only in his early twenties, and his talent is perhaps only comparable to that of Daoist Friend Miaoxuan."

"Another genius?" The gaunt old man in gray suddenly said expressionlessly.

Kuang Tongyi nodded and said, "That's right. I've already invited him to Guixu Island on the eleventh of the eleventh month. Someone with such talent shouldn't be trapped in this world."

"So that's why you didn't bring him Guixu Island?"

"Elder Feng, judging from his words, actions, and character, he is not the kind of person who kills without cause. Moreover, it wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that he was powerless to do so."

"How can we listen to just one person's words? Besides, no matter what Yue Hong is like, he is a member of my Lingxu Sect, responsible for Oversight the world. Even if he has made a mistake, how can we allow others to kill him? Since you can't bring him back, then I will personally go and capture him. As for the final punishment, we will decide after interrogation back at the mountain."

Kuang Tongyi, suppressing his emotions, said, "Elder Feng, when I fought him, I said that if he won, the matter would be dropped; if he lost, he would be brought Guixu Island. By doing this, aren't you trying to make me disbelieve you? If you don't believe what he says, I can go with you to confront him together."

Elder Feng said coldly, "Kuang Tongyi, I understand your appreciation for talent. However, a realm cannot exist without laws. If we take no action after Yue Hong's death, what face will our Lingxu Sect have? How can we command respect and Supervision this realm?"

"Besides, according to you, this person has already reached the Dao Fire Realm at such a young age, and even you are no match for him. Therefore, he shouldn't be staying in the Outer Realm. If he were to break through his realm without authorization, what kind of harm would he bring to this world? Don't you know the gravity of the situation?"

Having said that, without waiting for Kuang Tongyi to speak, he turned and bowed to the main hall. "Ancestor, Feng Zhong requests the Hun Tian Rope to descend the mountain and capture the murderer for interrogation."

Above the main hall, an old man in Purple Robe sat directly above, his eyes closed, his body surrounded by several corpses, with Runes appearing and disappearing around him, as if drawing Spiritual Qi from the Void to sustain his life.

"Yes!" A hoarse voice came from the old man's body.

Elder Feng bowed again, then stood up and turned around. "What is this person's name, and where does he live?"

In North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing put down the Secret Sword in his hand. After nurturing it for some time, he had established a connection with the sword. The Runes on the sword were becoming clearer, and he could faintly feel a core at the hilt.

"Perhaps in a few more days, we will be able to glimpse the secrets of the sword."

Gu Yuanqing was not in a hurry. There were still many key points in the Nine Nether Purgatory Scripture that he had obtained from Outer Heavens that he had not yet figured out, and there were still areas for improvement in his cultivation of the Dao Embryo Realm.

The fragments obtained from the Void Form void, combined with the cultivation of the Dao Embryo Realm, brought new insights.

Although this fragment is not a specific Cultivation Method, many of its words point directly to the Great Dao. Gu Yuanqing guessed that this scroll was definitely not native to the Great Qian Dynasty, but perhaps came from Outer Heavens.

This world undergoes a trial once every thousand years, and something will eventually be left behind. Even in the books sent by the Imperial Family, there are occasionally fragments of words about cultivation above the Dao Embryo Realm.

However, these words are completely imperceptible to Beyond Grandmaster.

After being defeated by Li Miaoxuan several times, Gu Yuanqing calmed down and sorted out his cultivation path, and had already made his choices.

"The Dao Fire Realm is the limit of cultivation. In my North Spring Mountain, I am almost invincible. Since I have no plans to descend the mountain for the time being, there is no need to be obsessed with combat techniques. Instead, I should focus on improving my cultivation level."

"With the help of the Spirit Mountain, I believe my cultivation will soon reach the Dao Fire Realm. What use would it be to hone all the skills of this realm to their Peak now? After advancing to a higher realm, all the methods I used before would no longer be applicable."

Having set his course, Gu Yuanqing focused all his attention on nurturing Transformation his Dao Embryo, and on developing the next stage of his Cultivation Method.

He gets up in the morning and Gathering Stellar Qi.

In the morning, one may study and deduce the Cultivation Method Secret Manual, or wander leisurely in the Mountain, getting close to and communicating with all things in the Mountain to cultivate one's mind and character.

In the afternoon, Mountain-Viewing Object Control and observe the natural world, experiencing the way of Heaven and Earth and the methods of control.

In the evening Qi of Earth Sha and incorporate it into your Dao Embryo to nourish your foundation.

At night, he would wander freely, either Mountain Observation, reading, or studying the arts of medicine, Dao of Alchemy, and Array Formation.

At midnight, one's mind settles into the Dao Embryo, transforming the day's enlightenment into the Dao Resonance.

When he had free time, he would take the time to teach Feng Tao to read using the Heart Seal Technique, and impart the methods of cultivation.

He thought that the matter Outer Heavens was over, and the entanglement with the Lingxu Sect was also over. He also thought that the Imperial Court would not bother him again knowing his cultivation level. He thought that this kind of life would last for a long time. However, less than three days later, when Mountain Observation, he felt a Demonic Qi growing at the Base of North Spring Mountain.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that at the junction of the Base of North Spring Mountain and the Earth Vein, Space Rift had formed, and the Demonic Qi was seeping out from these rifts!

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuanqing understood the reason.

The North Spring Mountain, which could easily suppress Dao Fire Realm Cultivator, was too heavy! Because this mountain was bound to him as his Residence, the entire North Spring Mountain seemed to still stand in the same place and be connected to the Earth Vein, but in fact it was a whole and independent entity.

As Spirit Mountain gradually Transformation, its power grew stronger and stronger, unknowingly exceeding the limits of this realm. Although it didn't crush the Earth Vein, it did crush this entire space.

Gu Yuanqing's heart sank. He had previously worried that the breaking of the Demon Realm Seal at the foot of the mountain would affect the Within North Spring Mountain, but how could that compare to what was happening now?

What we see before us is just the beginning. North Spring Mountain is still growing, and the power of the Spirit Mountain will become stronger and stronger. Perhaps before long, the area beneath the mountain will completely fall into the Demon Realm!

He wasn't sure what the impact would be if such a situation occurred, but from the current perspective, it wouldn't be good for either North Spring Mountain or this Heaven and Earth.

He focused his mind on Sea of Consciousness cultivation panel, intending to check for any hints or solutions, when he suddenly heard a hoarse voice from below the mountain. "Is Gu Yuanqing here?"

The voice was icy cold, echoing throughout the entire North Spring Mountain.

Mountain Observation, Gu Yuanqing saw an elderly man, seemingly frail and old, leaning on a cane, looking up at the North Spring with cloudy eyes.

Thirty feet away, the Imperial Guard knelt on the ground, while Zhang Zhuo alone gritted his teeth and stood firm, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"This is Cultivator at the Dao Fire Realm!"

With just one glance and sensing the aura emanating from the person, Gu Yuanqing knew the Body Cultivation of the other party, and also knew that this person was definitely not here to pay respects, but to cause trouble.

Gu Yuanqing was already in a bad mood, and upon seeing this situation, his expression immediately turned cold.

He strode up to the treetops on the Front Mountain and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"You're Gu Yuanqing?"

What do you want with me?

Feng Zhong looked at the young man opposite him, and feelings of disgust and jealousy rose in his heart. He hated geniuses, especially geniuses who had such cultivation at such a young age and were qualified to Heaven Ascending Path!

He was born into a family of servants. When he was young, both his parents were beaten to death by their Main Family. He went through countless hardships and tribulations to achieve his current level of cultivation, yet he is still trapped in this world. Why is it that some people are born extraordinary and can easily achieve the same level as him, and even walk on a path that he can never reach?

He said coldly, "You dared to kill a traveler from the Lingxu Sect. I pity your hard-won cultivation. If you are willing to surrender and come back to the Lingxu Sect with me for questioning and punishment, you may have a way out!"
