I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 665 The Heavenly Demon Sword Dao Reappears
A powerful demon at the Yin-Yang Breaking Void level was searching for treasures on the continent of the Spirit Abyss Realm when it suddenly discovered the strange phenomena in this place.

Thinking it had discovered some treasure, it curiously approached and probed with its divine sense and demonic energy.

But as soon as it touched the black mist, fear flashed in its eyes, and it turned to run away, but it was too late.

The black mist spread upwards and quickly enveloped it.

The demon flapped its wings, but before it could fly more than ten feet high, it fell to the ground.

His flesh and blood quickly dissipated, revealing stark white bones.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the bones turned to ashes and scattered on the ground.

The Celestial World's attempt to manifest was instantly swallowed up by the black energy, leaving no trace. A powerful demon at the Yin-Yang level was thus annihilated.

Only the black mist remained, swirling in place. After a moment, the black mist receded and disappeared into the soil and rocks.

After a while, a great demon at the Yin-Yang Zhou Tian Realm arrived, drawn by a strange fragrance. Its eyes glowed, and it disappeared into the ground. In an instant, the ground rose slightly and then fell back down.

A few days later, wisps of dark energy once again spread to the ground. Suddenly, all the dark energy collapsed and converged towards the center, eventually transforming into a human shape, revealing a pale-faced man.

If Gu Yuanqing were to see this person, he would surely recognize that this person is nine-tenths similar to the Heavenly Demon Sword Master's clone, except that his aura is already quite different from before, appearing even more indifferent.

He stood on the ground, looked up at the blood moon in the sky, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of the blood moon's light falling on him.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again, and sighed softly in his pupils, "The long-lost moonlight."

He raised his hand, looking at his pale, almost transparent palm, and muttered to himself, "It's far from enough. This blood energy isn't even enough to condense a single drop of true blood. However, it's enough to cover up the aura on my body."

He looked around and finally looked in the direction of the Dragon Demon Realm.

"There are too few living beings here, and it's too close to that place. It's not a place to stay for long! No wonder I felt terrified every time I thought about getting closer to that place. It turns out I've already broken through to the Undying Realm!"

"Gu Yuanqing, I will come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure rode away on a beam of light.

……

On the Demon Realm Continent, whether it was the Demon Court or the Demon God Mountain, everything was bustling with activity.

As news of the Black Sea incident gradually spread, it sparked much discussion among cultivators and demons.

Chaotic Star Valley is a place where the demon race, the human race, and the barbarian race meet. It is almost a no-man's-land, and many criminals or demons hide here.

Today is the Great Gathering of Trades among the Hundred Races, and many races have come here in disguise to trade.

News of the Black Sea also spread to this area, and it became the subject of much discussion during trade.

"Have you heard? Even the combined might of the God Emperor and the Demon Emperor couldn't defeat Gu Yuanqing of the Dragon Demon Realm."

"That's utter nonsense. Putting aside whether such a powerful figure truly exists, these two individuals already have a grudge against each other, so how could they possibly join forces? Let alone the fact that they would be no match for each other even if they joined forces."

"That's right, you dare to spread such rumors? You're really not afraid of death!"

"I didn't believe it at first, but now it's all over the place, and these words were even said by the Barbarian Emperor of the Chaotic Undying Realm himself!"

"The Barbarian Emperor? He really became the Undying Great Cultivator of Chaos?"

"Is this a lie? I've heard that many people witnessed it with their own eyes. You've all heard about the news a while ago that a realm fell above the Black Sea, haven't you?"

"I've heard about this before. Could it be related to this?"

"I've heard that this realm is quite large, with the continent alone spanning over a million miles. Countless powerful cultivators have gone there seeking opportunities. Not only did the Northern God King of Demon God Mountain sail there in his divine ship, but the Demon Court also sent a team led by the Three-Legged Golden Crow clan. Even the Barbarian and Asura clans have sent cultivators at the Chaos Realm level. Including the rogue cultivators, I've heard that there are seven or eight Chaos Realm cultivators alone. It can be said that apart from the time Demon God Mountain refined the Myriad Demon Pill, this is the time in nearly a thousand years that there have been the most Chaos Realm cultivators..."

Hearing this person speak so vividly, many cultivators gathered around him at the Yi Zhen Assembly.

The masked cultivator, now a Heavenly Transformation cultivator, was immediately smug and said, "In the blink of an eye, as soon as the origin of that world appeared, the major forces clashed fiercely, creating chaos. All sorts of techniques and supernatural abilities were used, causing dust to rise for tens of thousands of miles around, making the world seem utterly desolate. These are powerful cultivators of the Chaos Realm, whose every move can even shatter the void. But even with so many experts attacking, guess how they managed to retaliate?"

"Hurry up and tell us. Stop being so mysterious at a time like this. Do you really think you're a storyteller?"

"Gentlemen, this is the Yi Zhen Conference. You can listen to news, but do you want the Blood Soul Demon Lotus...?"

"Let's go, let's go, we can hear this news anywhere, what use is the Blood Soul Demon Lotus?"

"This fellow Daoist is mistaken. Although the blood energy within the demonic lotus is difficult to remove, and it's best not to use it before breaking through to a higher realm, it can be used to temper the physical body..."

But in the blink of an eye, the group had completely disappeared.

The cultivator was taken aback and was about to get up.

Suddenly, a man in a black robe said in a hoarse voice, "I want ten of these Blood Soul Demon Lotuses."

The masked man was overjoyed: "One high-grade magic crystal will suffice."

After the transaction, the man in black robes asked, "Could you finish telling me the story?"

The cultivator from the Heavenly Change Sect laughed loudly: "Since you want to hear it, I will naturally tell you everything. This news is from someone who personally experienced the battlefield, and it is different from what is being said outside."

"Speak." The man in black robes also wore a mask, but his eyes were blood red.

The cultivator from the Heavenly Transformation Realm met his gaze and felt a chill run down his spine. He swallowed his words and instead said honestly, "When the various powerful cultivators from different realms attacked each other, Gu Yuanqing from the Dragon Demon Realm suddenly appeared and struck out with a palm. All the cultivators in the sky and on the ground, who were in chaos, were suppressed. Even a powerful cultivator like the Northern Guardian God King was unable to move."

At this moment, a cultivator who had come up couldn't help but interject, "Nonsense! The cultivation of the Northern Guardian God King is also among the top in the world. I might believe it if you said he was no match for Gu Yuanqing, but to say that he was killed along with seven or eight other top cultivators..."

But before he could finish speaking, he saw the black-robed cultivator turn his head, and when their eyes met, he shivered and dared not say another word.

The cultivator who had just undergone a transformation dared not pay attention to the others, and said, "Just as Gu Yuanqing was about to seize the origin of the world, the Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu suddenly appeared..."

After all the stories were told, the man in black robes turned and left without saying a word.

Then, he came to an open space in the market, raised his hand and waved it, and a series of pills appeared in front of him.

The elixir emitted a magical light, and its fragrance attracted countless humans and demons to gather around. Most of those present were extraordinary, at least at the Void Heaven level, and could see that this elixir was exceptional.

Before long, all the pills were gone.

The man in black robes then left, but the next day he returned to the market in a different guise, still selling pills, but the pills he sold today were different from those he had sold before.

Not long after, a cultivator who had undergone Heavenly Transformation was being hunted down, and rumors soon spread throughout the market.

It is said that 30,000 years ago, the legacy of Su Yan, a great swordsman of the Chaotic Heaven Realm, appeared in the world, and his techniques were lost in the Chaotic Star Valley.

The entire Chaotic Star Valley was immediately in an uproar, with countless cultivators searching for this technique. Then, a damaged ruin appeared, and a sword aura soared into the sky. A group of human and demon cultivators went there and found a hundred-foot-tall sword stele standing there, with top-notch sword techniques engraved on it.

Before long, many jade talismans began to circulate, among which sword techniques attracted many cultivators to pursue them.

Even the Divine King's Palace sent people to investigate the secrets of this sword technique, and they fought fiercely over this sword technique stele.

The entire Chaotic Star Valley became even more chaotic.

In the darkness of night, on a mountain range, a man in black robes stood atop the peak.

Behind him, dozens of people or demons knelt on the ground. If anyone could trace their origins, they would surely discover that these people were all cultivators who had purchased pills from the man in black robes some time ago.

The man in black robes looked towards the sword monument in the distance and chuckled, "Let it get even more chaotic, so we can fish in troubled waters."

Suddenly, he turned around, reached out and grabbed a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, who instantly turned into a skeleton and then his entire body turned into dust.

The color on the black-robed man's face seemed to have intensified slightly.

The others remained kneeling quietly with their heads down, as if they hadn't seen what was happening.

……

Inside the Beiquan Cave, Gu Yuanqing sensed a wisp of spirituality in the celestial world.

This wisp of spirituality is slowly growing stronger. Its appearance is causing a qualitative change in the entire celestial world. At the same time, Gu Yuanqing can feel that his soul has become more agile, and his physical body seems to have gained a bit more vitality.

Every particle that makes up the body seems to be slowly transforming because of its appearance.

This object seems to be the intersection of the physical body, the soul, and the Daoist essence of the celestial world, serving as the link between the three.

In a daze, Gu Yuanqing had a sudden realization: the boundary between law and the Way seemed to be beginning to break down.

He also gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Way Zen Heart Sutra he practiced.

"Perhaps when this wisp of spirituality completely permeates my physical body, soul, and the Great Dao, that will be the moment I achieve the Undying Heaven!"

In fact, for an ordinary cultivator to reach this level, they would need to be at least at the Shattered Heaven Realm Perfection. However, Gu Yuanqing's Celestial World was too perfect, and he also obtained the World Origin of the Exquisite Realm.

Through a series of fortuitous circumstances, he was able to grasp the mystery ahead of time once again. Of course, this was related to the fact that his cultivation method was at the level of a Void Immortal.

Driven by the cultivation method, even if one has not yet comprehended it, everything will naturally appear before one's eyes.

He observed every change with the same cares he would take to a mountain, and before he knew it, he seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the microscopic level, as if he could "see" with his own eyes that every particle that made up him was growing stronger over time.

Now, no one dares to invade the Demon Realm.

Within the Divine Ruins, the Demon Clan and the Primordial Divine Sect were locked in a fierce battle, leaving no one to attend to him.

The Taigu Divine Sect was beset by internal and external troubles and was powerless to cause trouble for Gu Yuanqing.

As for the occasional demonic disasters within the Qian Yuan Realm, the Great Qian Dynasty will naturally handle them.

Within the cultivation realm, the mountain-carrying divine tortoise leisurely moved forward, undisturbed by anyone.

Although everything seemed chaotic, it was a peaceful place for Gu Yuanqing.

Under these circumstances, he focused all his attention on himself, slowly digesting the changes brought about by the origin of the exquisite world.

Before we knew it, time had slowly passed.

Early that morning, Gu Yuanqing suddenly opened his eyes slowly, his eyes sparkling with starlight.

"Two more years have passed since I started sitting here!"

Gu Yuanqing sighed softly.

After practicing cultivation, the passage of time seemed to speed up.

However, when he reached the summit and looked around, he found that there hadn't been much change inside the Beiquan Cave.

After all, the cultivation levels of people and spirit beasts in the cave have gradually increased, and two years is not a long time for everyone.

He swept across the Qian Yuan Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Cultivation Realm with his Heavenly Eye of Void, finally landing in the Dao Source Holy Land of the Divine Ruins.

Finally, relying on the soul imprint on the Celestial Steed, it descended to the outer realms.

However, this time, he did not see Li Miaoxuan. Only Xiaobai, who was about to enter the Yin-Yang Zhou Tian realm, seemed to sense something and looked around.

Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and looked again at the incense smoke gathering around Qianyuan Cave.

"There are less than two years left until the Yuanhui Festival. Over the years, I have gained a deeper understanding of the Chaos Undying, especially the spirituality within my own world. My will, body, soul, and the Great Dao have begun to connect, and I am touching the edge of the Undying level. It is time to improve the supernatural powers I have cultivated."

Over the years, he has fought against Hun Tian Bu Si continuously. Even though he can win with the power of Bei Quan Cave Heaven, he can hardly damage its fundamental nature outside the cave heaven.

Even when fighting against God Emperors and Demon Emperors, there was still a hint of bluffing. It would be difficult for cultivators of this level to capture them with the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

In particular, the fact that the Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu could still easily break free from his own Northern Spring Town Seal made Gu Yuanqing quite dissatisfied with his own supernatural abilities.

After all, the supernatural abilities he is currently cultivating are all techniques he deduced before breaking through to the Chaotic Heaven realm, and they are somewhat outdated.

Currently, it will still take a considerable amount of time before I break through to the Undying Realm, but a major battle that could affect me could happen at any moment, so I naturally need to make more preparations.

Previously, my understanding of the Chaotic Heaven level was not deep, and using the method of Dao Derivation was somewhat of a waste of the incense offerings, but now I have the conditions to do so.

Gu Yuanqing did not rush to take action. Instead, he summoned Li Chengyi, and the two talked for a long time. Gu Yuanqing also gave Li Chengyi some pointers on his cultivation.

At this time, Li Chengyi had already reached the perfect state of the second tribulation of the Heavenly Transformation, and was only one step away from the third tribulation of the Heavenly Transformation. This was the reason why Gu Yuanqing had specially summoned him.

In the evening, a banquet was held, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren came to pay their respects, making it a very lively occasion.

After two days of excitement, Beiquan Mountain returned to tranquility.

Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged inside the main hall, triggering the Dao of Derivation.

The first one he deduced was the Beiquan Town World Seal. This was the supernatural power that he had devoted the most effort to over the years, and it was also the most useful for those at the Hun Tian Undying level, so it was naturally the first choice for his deduction.

The incense smoke lingering in Beiquan Cave flew over and entered Gu Yuanqing's body.

Within his mind, patterns of Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the Nine Palaces of the stars appeared. He absorbed all sorts of insights into them, and in a trance, it seemed that Gu Yuanqing had cultivated this method for countless years, finally eliminating all errors and allowing the optimal method to enter his heart...
