Arc 16The Qian Yuan Sect Emerges
Gu Yuanqing defeated Pei Yutang, settled his conflict with the Sanyang Sect, and built up his strength while guiding the Floating World. When the North Sea sects challenged the Qian Yuan Sect over Huang Wenzhong’s death, Li Chengyi fought their leaders with Gu Yuanqing’s protection, leaving Gu Yuanqing to decide their fate.
- Pei Yutang burned his divine soul to reach the seventh revolution, but Gu Yuanqing killed him and then defeated Zhuang Hanhai’s challenge, settling with the Sanyang Sect for ten Heaven-Tier Divine Soul Great Medicines.
- Gu Yuanqing returned to Dongyuan City, traded Dao Souls with Yi Yunbo, and spent years fishing for high-tier Dao Souls before establishing a mountain residence and protective formation.
- Gu Yuanqing taught cultivation across the Floating World, while Li Miaoxuan prepared to descend to the Cultivation World and Gu Yuanqing wondered whether she was well.
- Li Shi'an and Ji Dai welcomed cultivators to Cangming Island as the Qian Yuan Sect, but rumors of its secret realm and Spirit Spring drew Huang Wenzhong and his attackers to North Spring Mountain.
- Gu Yuanqing defeated Huang Wenzhong and the Yellow Wind Island cultivators, and the North Sea sects began investigating the Qian Yuan Sect after news of the deaths spread.
- Gu Yuanqing prepared Li Chengyi to lead the Qian Yuan Sect as its master, then watched as Li Chengyi welcomed the Seven Sects of the North Sea and explained that their elder had slain the attackers.
- Li Chengyi fought Meng Tingfeng and Yue Heng as the other sects tested the Qian Yuan Sect, while Gu Yuanqing stopped Yue Sheng from intervening.
- Li Chengyi trapped Yue Heng with the Hun Tian Rope and Sky Burning Tower, and Gu Yuanqing appeared beside him to ask the North Sea cultivators how he should deal with them.
