Persuasion

The last time Spirit Mountain Transformation was eight months ago.

That time, Gu Yuanqing obtained the Object Control Method and a pool of Spiritual Qi.

His ability to advance from the True Martial Realm to this level of cultivation is largely due to these two Empowerment.

He was looking forward to seeing what surprises awaited him this time.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, North Spring was over 500 zhang high, and the area of Mountain was nearly twice as large as before, with the top of the mountain also being much wider.

Gu Yuanqing entered the Mountain Observation every day, intending to find out the origin of its strength, but no matter what he did, he could not figure out its mystery, as if it were born out of thin air and grew out of thin air.

What's even more amazing is that these growths haven't affected the houses and roads in the Mountain; they've only increased the distance between Courtyard Courtyard when viewed in comparison.

Feng Tao was already at the Fourth-Level Origin Scholar and had noticed the changes in the Outer Realm. However, in her opinion, neither the mountain nor the young master in the mountain was ordinary. Although she felt surprised, she was not too surprised.

At this moment, the growth rate of North Spring Mountain had slowed down, and the Spiritual Qi energy pool in the mental panel had become second-tier, providing purer Spiritual Qi.

But Gu Yuanqing knew that this was only the beginning of the real change.

At the Mountain, where the Spirit Vein are nurtured, with each breath-like expansion and contraction, the entire Spirit Mountain undergoes indescribable changes. These changes are not outwardly visible, but rather an essential evolution and Transformation. Only when Mountain Observation and becoming one with North Spring Mountain can one perceive them.

On this day, Li Shi'an came to the outside of North Spring Mountain again and was surprised to see that North Spring Mountain seemed to have become even higher.

After leaping down from the top of Hongyan Mountain Waterfall, I was about to climb up the Cliff as usual, but when I entered North Spring Mountain, I found myself crossing North Spring Mountain directly and arriving at the opposite mountain stream.

He stood in the river, wading through the waves, and when he looked up at North Spring Mountain, his surprise was evident. Had the Mountain's Array Formation become even more wondrous with the revival of the Spirit Mountain?

"Please forgive me, Senior Li. I was cultivating just now and didn't notice your arrival!"

Gu Yuanqing's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the next moment, Gu Yuanqing appeared on the Cliff the top of the mountain, bowing to him from afar.

"It was I who entered without Old Man notice; my apologies."

Li Shi'an leaped up again, and this time there were no surprises as he entered the mountain, reaching the summit in no time.

"Young friend, this North Spring Mountain is becoming more and more extraordinary," Li Shi'an exclaimed.

"You flatter me, senior. It's just a change brought about by the revival of Spiritual Qi in the Mountain," Gu Yuanqing said with a light laugh.

"Young friend, you Old Man. Whether it is this mountain or you, I feel as if they do not belong to this world." Li Shi'an looked at Gu Yuanqing and felt that he was becoming more and more extraordinary. With every gesture, there was a Dao Resonance, and he was integrated with this Heaven and Earth, as if all things were responding to him naturally.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Shi'an got down to business.

"I Old Man here today to express my gratitude. If it weren't for that jade token from you, young friend, the Great Qian Kingdom would have been in grave danger this time, and I fear I myself would have Old Man."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "This is simply my duty. I am also a person of Great Qian Great Qian Dynasty, born and raised in the Great Qian."

Li Shi'an sighed, "It's a pity I didn't take your words to heart at the time; otherwise, the matter of Zuo Qiu could have been resolved once and for all."

"He lost an arm, and his Dao Embryo and Divine Sense were both damaged. With such severe injuries, he probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble again. The trial will end soon, and he will leave this realm, so it shouldn't have any impact."

Li Shi'an was somewhat surprised that Gu Yuanqing knew so much detail, but he didn't ask any further questions, "Speaking of this trial, it ended much earlier than expected, but the opening date of the Heaven Ascending Path has also been brought forward. The second thing I wanted to ask you was, young friend, if you are interested in the Heaven Ascending Path, Old Man would be willing to guide you to the Lingxu Sect."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "Thank you, senior, but I'm afraid I can't go to the Heaven Ascending Path. Three people from the Lingxu Sect came, and I killed two of them. Regardless of the Karma, I've now formed a karmic bond with the Lingxu Sect, and I doubt they'll welcome me."

Li Shi'an was also aware of this matter and smiled wryly, "Young friend, you have been too rash, but there may still be room for redemption. Within the Lingxu Sect, the one in charge of this matter is the Inner Sect 'Supreme Elder, who has a past connection with my Li Family. This senior is very appreciative of talent. If young friend is willing to resolve our grievances, this Old Man is willing to go to Lingxiao Mountain."

Gu Yuanqing cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, senior. I've considered the matter of the Heaven Ascending Path for a long time, but I'll pass on it this time."

Li Shi'an couldn't help but advise, "Young friend, please be careful. Although North Spring Mountain is extraordinary, as the Outsider from Beyond said, this world is ultimately just a small world with scarce Vital Energy. Even if this mountain is rich in Spiritual Qi, it is probably far inferior to any Spirit Mountain Outer Realm!"

Moreover, within this realm, the Dao Fire Realm is the limit; there is no further path forward. Not to mention the inheritance of Dao techniques, it is said that breaking through to a higher realm in this realm will bring great terror. If you remain trapped here, you will only waste your talent, young friend. If you go to the Heaven Ascending Path, you can support and look after Miaoxuan."

Gu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, senior, but my mind is made up. If there really is no future, won't there be another chance in ten years? Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that you're here, senior, please sit on this mountain for a while. I'll have Aunt Feng prepare some good dishes, and we'll drink until we're drunk."

Li Shi'an stayed at Gu Yuanqing's invitation, and the lunch he had was also a great success.

Many of the dishes that Aunt Feng cooks use ingredients she grows herself in the Mountain, Spirit Spring Water, and meat caught by the eagle.

There were also fruits, fresh fruits that Gu Yuanqing obtained from the Mountain Object Control Method.

These things are all extraordinary; the only thing that doesn't match them is the wine from Drunken Immortal Tower.

After the meal, Li Shi'an felt that his True Essence had improved. If he didn't have other important matters to attend to, he would have liked to stay there and never leave.

Before leaving, Li Shi'an couldn't help but try to persuade him again, as he truly couldn't bear to see Gu Yuanqing's talent wasted in this world.

When he became Grandmaster, he was past the age to enter the Heaven Ascending Path. At that time, he was also arrogant and believed that as long as there was a path ahead, he could pave the way even if he was in this world.

But after so many years, he is still trapped in the Dao Fire Realm. It's not just because of the Spiritual Qi energy, but also because the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is incomplete. He can't bear to Gu Yuanqing suffer the same fate as he did back then.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuanqing's mind was made up, and no amount of persuasion could change it. He could only sigh and leave behind the words that if Gu Yuanqing changed his mind, he could come and find him. Then he drifted away from North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing stood in the Scenery Pavilion, looking at the Dangyan Mountain Waterfall, which was noticeably shorter than the one opposite him, and remained silent for a long time.

The day the Heaven Ascending Path opens is drawing ever closer, which also means that Li Miaoxuan will be leaving, and who knows when they will meet again.

His cultivation foundation lies in this mountain. Even now, once he leaves the mountain, he can still draw upon Mountain power. If he prepares his trump cards beforehand, unless he encounters a magical Law Treasure like the Hun Tian Rope, he is confident that he can be fearless against anyone in this world.

However, once he steps out of the mountains, he will lose the Empowerment of his comprehension and aptitude. Then he will be nothing more than an ordinary person, and even his thinking will become duller. He will not be able to comprehend the Dao Mechanism, so how can he talk about seeking the Dao?

I've never asked to read further before, but I'm doing this now.

The recommendations on Qidian (the online learning platform) are all based on competition, so reading on Mondays and Tuesdays is very important.

For someone like me who's only a newbie, I can only rely on everyone else.

Thank you, bosses!
