I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 664 The Birth of Spirituality

The battle of the four was chaotic and varied, leaving one breathless.

One moment they were working together to attack the other, but the next they were enemies.

The barbarian emperor possesses a formidable physical body and often intends to engage in close-quarters combat.

The Demon Emperor possesses innate supernatural powers and an incredibly strong physical body. Yet, the mere scattering of the True Fire of the Sun from his body is enough to withstand all kinds of magic, and even the Barbarian Emperor dares not touch it.

The Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu stood tall in the void, with phantom images of gods and demons appearing beside him. Whether attacking or defending, all his attacks were brought about by these phantom images of gods and demons.

From the outside, it appeared as if the others were fighting, while Lieshan Yu stood in the void, leisurely watching the battle.

As for Gu Yuanqing, he remained even more composed, responding to each move with ease and composure. It would be a mistake to think he was easy to deal with.

His seemingly ordinary gestures caused the three emperors present to be greatly wary.

As time went by, the battle situation gradually shifted, with Gu Yuanqing standing in the center, facing attacks from three sides.

Moreover, the three of them even felt that the pressure at this moment was greater than when there was a chaotic battle between the four sides.

Gu Yuanqing's casual palm strike might require them to exert all their strength to cope.

Even Lie Shanyu's expression turned solemn. Even though it was just an avatar that had come here, he was still shocked.

Most importantly, Gu Yuanqing's strength seems to have been constantly improving since the beginning of the battle, and it is unknown whether he still has any strength left!
He had exchanged blows with Gu Yuanqing twice from a distance. Although they only touched briefly before separating, he was able to glean some information from him. It was unlikely that Gu Yuanqing was that powerful.

"Could it be that he came here not as an avatar but as his true self?"

The Demon Emperor's eyes sharpened further. As an emperor, how could he accept being defeated even with combined strength?

After a sharp cry, the Demon Emperor shouted, "Gu Yuanqing, I have a move. If you can withstand it, why shouldn't I give you the origin of this small world?"

As it spoke, its golden eyes shot out streams of incandescent fire, and as its wings flapped, the space trembled, and the air began to shimmer with light due to the rapid increase in temperature.

The next second, the three-legged golden crow transformed into a blazing sun and moved at a speed that seemed to exceed its limits, attempting to pass through Gu Yuanqing with immense force.

This is a divine power of the Golden Crow clan: Sky-Piercing Escape - Golden Rainbow Piercing.

An extreme sense of danger rose in Gu Yuanqing's heart. He could feel that if he didn't do something, this clone would surely be destroyed.

Beiquan Town!

Gu Yuanqing made a hand seal, and the phantom of Beiquan Mountain immediately appeared. At this moment, it was as if he himself had transformed into a towering mountain, like a pillar supporting the sky, which no one could shake.

The Demon Emperor felt his speed getting slower and slower, and even his true essence and soul showed signs of being suppressed and imprisoned.

Its pupils shrank rapidly, and it even felt fear and dared not fly forward, because it felt that if it really reached Gu Yuanqing's side, it would probably be suppressed and captured.

As a demon emperor, it can die, it can be defeated, but it absolutely cannot be captured by anyone, even if it is just an avatar.

With a thought, it suddenly changed its form and appeared dozens of miles away, having originally intended to use the form of the sun to attack Gu Yuanqing.

"Since this trick can't defeat you, I, the Emperor, will keep my word! Where are the Demon Court officials?"

"Greetings, Demon Emperor."

"Let's head back and go!"

The demons looked at each other in bewilderment, then rode away in their escape light, following the Demon Emperor swiftly into the distance.

The Barbarian Emperor sensed something was wrong, and seeing how decisively the Demon Emperor had left, he began to consider retreating, but before he could react...

Emperor Lieshan Yu suddenly chuckled and withdrew: "It's just the origin of a small world. Since Fellow Daoist Gu likes it so much, I won't take it from him! Soldiers of Divine Demon Mountain, come back with me!"

"promise!"

Lie Shanyu landed directly on the flying boat, and in the blink of an eye, he had already propelled the flying boat away.

The barbarian king's eyes changed completely. Just now, he was at a disadvantage in a three-on-one fight, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left. The pressure was immense.

He never imagined that the mighty God Emperor and Demon Emperor, two powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the world, would pass away so easily.

In fact, the great war has not even truly begun!
Although it looked intense just now, apart from the Demon Emperor's last move which wasn't fully unleashed, the rest were at most just tests.

He naturally didn't believe what the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor said before they left. What "helping out" and "a one-move agreement" were clearly just excuses for them to escape.

The origin of the small world is no ordinary treasure; it is of great use even to the immortals of the Chaos Realm, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted a powerhouse at the level of an emperor.

The fact that this person left so decisively suggests they must have sensed something.

In other words, even those two are backing down, so what can he do?
As the sword was slashed out, the Battle Heaven Totem shone brightly, forcefully breaking free from Gu Yuanqing's palm strike and retreating rapidly. At the same time, it shouted, "Brother Gu is indeed powerful, even the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor are no match for him. How dare I, Di, be presumptuous? The origin of this world shall belong to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around decisively, slashed through the void with his sword, and disappeared into it.

Gu Yuanqing stood in mid-air, somewhat taken aback. From the Demon Emperor's retreat to the Barbarian Emperor's departure, only a blink of an eye had passed.

He hadn't even used much of the power of Beiquan Cave Heaven yet. He originally wanted to have a good fight with these three great cultivators from the Demon Realm and observe the power of the demon race and Demon God Mountain.

But it seemed the other party didn't give him that chance at all. As soon as they saw something was wrong, they turned around and left. This decisive and skillful handling of the situation made Gu Yuanqing feel inferior.

This great battle ended so abruptly.

So much so that many human and demon cultivators around were caught off guard.

Their cultivation levels might not reveal the specifics of their battle, but it was clear that in the end, only Gu Yuanqing stood before the origin of the world.

The result was obvious, though it still struck them as somewhat unbelievable.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, but did not stop them from escaping. They were all clones, so even if they were killed, it would not be of much use, but would only create hatred.

What he sought was the origin of the world, and now that it was in his hands, he had no reason to make another move. His only regret was that this battle was not to his fullest extent.

With a wave of his hand, he wrapped the entire world's origin in a vast net woven from his true essence and divine soul. Then, with a pull of the Heavenly Fishing Technique, the thousand-foot-long dragon disappeared into the air along with Gu Yuanqing's clone.

After the origin of the world left, the Lingyuan Realm seemed to have truly died completely, and the aura belonging to the Linglong Realm had completely disappeared.

In the distance, Wu Ti glanced at the world that had been completely integrated into the Demon Realm and was slightly lost in thought. He had once thought of refining this world into a realm controlled by the Water Ape Clan.

In the end, however, the Water Ape Clan gained almost nothing; perhaps the only thing that changed was his heart.

Just then, about a hundred miles away from the battlefield where Gu Yuanqing and the others were fighting, a figure appeared. He shook his head slightly: "No chance, so be it!"

Then it vanished without a trace.

……

Gu Yuanqing's clone returned to his main body, and the origin of the Spirit Abyss Realm floated in front of him.

The origin of the world is the purest form of the Great Dao, and it would never have manifested unless this world were destroyed or the Great Dao were in conflict. Within the Northern Spring Grotto, he could see its mysteries even more clearly through the Dao of Observing Mountains.

This is the foundation of this world, and it is also the result of the natural evolution of heaven and earth, containing the most fundamental secrets of the world.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuanqing was still unable to truly see through this deepest secret at this time; his cultivation and knowledge limited him.

However, this does not prevent him from utilizing the origins of the world.

With a thought, the Celestial Realm opened, and using the Dao of Manipulation, he directly sent the thousand-foot-tall world's origin dragon into his own Celestial Realm.

Within his own celestial world, there is also a Beiquan Mountain. Gu Yuanqing's spirit stands atop this mountain, like a deity, overlooking this world.

After the origin of the world fell into this realm, Gu Yuanqing's divine soul raised his hand.

The thousand-foot-long dragon fell into his palm and turned into a small mudfish.

Gu Yuanqing looked down at the scene.

"Within this origin, the spirituality of the original world is still contained. Although it has not yet formed a will, it still poses a threat if it falls into my newly born world. Therefore, the best way is still to refine it before integrating it into the Celestial World, so as to maintain the purity of my own world."

"And the best way to refine the origin of this world is naturally the Chaotic Primordial Flame!"

With a thought, a raging flame rose from his palm. Under the influence of the Chaotic Primordial Flame, the azure-colored primordial dragon appeared flustered, bumping and thrashing about in Gu Yuanqing's hand.

Having a spirit, it naturally did not want to perish. However, having fallen into Gu Yuanqing's hands, and being within the Beiquan Cave Heaven, how could this mere remnant of the world's original spirit withstand Gu Yuanqing's will?

With the Chaotic Primordial Flame already about 70% refined, the Origin Dragon let out a mournful cry before its dragon form dissipated, transforming into a round bead that floated in Gu Yuanqing's palm.

Within the round bead, purple clouds swirl, brimming with boundless vitality.

Gu Yuanqing refined it with the Chaotic Primordial Flame for a long time, confirming that the world's spirituality had completely disappeared, leaving only the purest world origin.

Only then did he release his grip.

Without the suppression of Gu Yuanqing's power, wisps of purple energy drifted out from the round bead, merging into mountains and water wherever they came into contact with them.

Touching space transforms it into the very essence of space.

When the breath sinks down, it transforms into the power of the earth.

When an aura rises, it transforms into the Way of Wind and Thunder.

……

"The power of the world's origin is truly wondrous!"

Gu Yuanqing stared blankly at all these changes. Even though he couldn't see through the underlying reasons, he was still deeply moved.

This change lasted for half a month, and the round bead in the palm of the hand continued to shrink as the power dissipated.

When it completely dissipated, Gu Yuanqing felt that his own Celestial World had become at least three times stronger.

Even the imprint of its own Dao principles seemed to be enhanced as a result.

Originally, he had only barely entered the mid-stage of Shattered Heaven, but after refining this Origin World, Gu Yuanqing felt that he had completely entered this realm and was beginning to move towards the late stage of Shattered Heaven.

More importantly, he felt that his Celestial World was more stable than ever before. In comparison, although his Celestial World was powerful before, it felt somewhat floating in the air. Now, that feeling had completely disappeared.

In Gu Yuanqing's mind, it seemed that his own celestial world was no different from the real small world.

He vaguely sensed a spark of spirituality within this world beginning to emerge.

When he realized this, Gu Yuanqing's eyes lit up, for this was the true beginning of the next stage of the Celestial World.

The world of celestial beings and humans transitions from illusion to reality, condensing their own Daoist imprints, and then verifying them with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. All of this is actually the process of nurturing spirituality.

This spirituality is also the condensation of one's own will and cultivation, and it is also the foundation for the Shattered Heaven Realm to advance towards the Undying Realm!

And at this moment, this foundation finally began to be revealed to Gu Yuanqing!

"It seems that this harvest may be even greater than expected!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled.

……

Inside the Divine Ruins.

The great war between the Demon Race and the Primordial God Sect continues.

The Ancient Divine Sect, relying on the forbidden land, seems to be invincible, but it is impossible for them to defeat the Demon Clan. If they could, they would not have allowed the Demon Clan to break through the Abyss of Boundaries.

There were as many as seven Undying Demon Clan cultivators, each of whom was extremely difficult to deal with.

The Taigu Divine Sect is facing a predicament, having to defend against both internal and external threats.

The influence of the boundary gate is too great. For the Linglong Realm, it is like a path to immortality in the cultivation world. Who can resist being tempted? Every day, many cultivators look at the boundary gate.

Mu Tianheng appeared calm, but in reality he was extremely cautious. He judged others by his own standards, and the boundary gate was enough to make any cultivator take risks.

Li Lingyun, Elder Jiantian, and even Lei Fuyue are all possibilities.

Moreover, certain rumors circulating within and outside the sect are not something that someone unaware of the inside story could say, such as the method of using the boundary gate and the function of the source crystal.

And all of these things, to some extent, affected Mu Tianheng's plans.

There were vague guesses about his whereabouts, but without actual evidence, even as the sect leader, Mu Tianheng would find it difficult to make an attack!
Especially in the current situation.

He suppressed his anger and muttered to himself, "No rush, no rush. As long as my main body's control over the Heavenly Law Bell breaks through to the fifth level, who can do anything to me?"

……

Deep within the Divine Ruins, the Forbidden Land of the Underworld crashed into a small world, nearly shattering it into pieces. Most of the creatures within the small world perished as a result.

Then one by one, the boundary guards stepped out and set up altars in the small world, each altar adorned with carved edict tablets.

When everything was ready, Ye Xuanxiao activated the power of the forbidden land, and the power belonging to the Zhenyuan Mingzhi immediately descended into this small world.

The altars throughout the area activated simultaneously, and the power of the divine artifacts instantly appeared within this small world.

Then Ye Xuanxiao revealed a ferocious smile, suddenly made a hand seal, and then the entire world began to collapse and be destroyed. It seemed that the aura of the underworld had descended and was pressing down on this small world, and its world origin was gradually revealed in the destruction.

"This is the third one, but it's still far from enough. If only I could refine an entire Linglong Realm, the Qianyuan Realm..." Ye Xuanxiao's eyes were filled with hatred.

……

On the land of the Spirit Abyss Realm, wisps of demonic energy seeped out, condensing into a pitch-black shadow that was difficult for any light to illuminate!
