I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 684 A moment of forbearance will disturb my peaceful cultivation; a step back will disrupt my Dao heart!
Looking at this world again, everything seems different.

Without relying on the mountain-viewing technique, he achieved a similar effect, even if it wasn't quite as detailed. This still shows that Gu Yuanqing has made great strides in this field.

With his formidable cultivation and perfected mental will, Gu Yuanqing's strength can be said to have risen to another level.

More importantly, it was only at this point that he truly laid the foundation for entering the realm of the Undying Chaos, and became qualified to move forward.

A single pill that could give other cultivators a chance to enter the Undying Realm of Chaos, even if it only allowed him to reach the Great Perfection of Shattering Heaven, would surely be considered a waste by others, but for Gu Yuanqing, it was all worth it!

Time is extremely important to him and to the Qian Yuan Realm. The Ancient Divine Sect is like a sword hanging high, ready to fall at any moment. If they attack him again, they must be well-prepared and have absolute confidence.

Perhaps the reason they haven't attacked him yet is simply because they are wary of the Qian Yuan Realm itself. After all, one Linglong Realm has already fallen, and the Taigu Divine Sect might not dare to risk the fall of another world.

In other words, the latest the Ancient Divine Sect can take action is at most ninety-seven years later, when the new Linglong Realm will be restored.

If that's the case, Gu Yuanqing is confident that he will have already entered the Chaotic Undying Realm by then, and the Northern Spring Cave Heaven itself will have grown to an even more immeasurable level.

But who dares to say that the Ancient Divine Sect will really wait until then?

A figure swiftly arrived at the mountain peak.

"Father."

"Has the Ancient Divine Sect made any moves during this time?"

“I haven’t heard of it; it’s just old rhetoric. However, public opinion can be powerful. As time goes by, even if this is a lie fabricated by the Ancient Divine Sect, I’m afraid more and more people will believe it. When the Ancient Divine Sect actually uses the Ten Directions Decree to take action against us, I’m afraid no one will object.” Li Chengyi frowned slightly.

Gu Yuanqing calmly said, "Even if the Ancient Divine Sect were to attack us now, more than 90% of the realms would agree. The Ancient Divine Sect wiped out the Demon Race in one fell swoop and resolved the Demon Calamity, so its reputation is at its zenith."

Currently, all the experts of the Hidden Radiance Alliance have been killed. Faced with the might of the Ancient Divine Sect, even the Illusionary Spirit Sect and the Dustless Sect probably wouldn't dare to express any opposition.

Li Chengyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "To be honest, it's becoming increasingly difficult for us cultivators of the Qian Yuan Realm in the Ancient Realm. It's alright by the Boundless River. Although the Illusionary Spirit Sect doesn't dare to get too close to us as before, they haven't made things difficult for us. But in other places, other sects... even if they don't dare to directly attack the cultivators of the Qian Yuan Realm without cause because of my father's presence, they inevitably make things difficult for us in various ways. In the past six months, we've heard news of people fighting against cultivators from the outside world almost every few days."

Gu Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Cheng Yi, what do you think is the most fundamental reason for the current situation in our Qian Yuan Realm?"

"The most fundamental reason? It should be the fear these realms have of the Primordial Divine Sect," Li Chengyi said.

Gu Yuanqing looked at Li Chengyi and asked, "Tell me, why aren't they afraid of me? The Ancient Divine Sect would have to think twice and make preparations before they could attack me, but these sects that don't even have many Yin-Yang cultivators seem to have no scruples at all!"

Li Chengyi understood Gu Yuanqing's implied meaning, and a sharp glint suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Father, are you planning to do something?"

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and nodded, saying, "We do intend to do something. Perhaps we were too kind in the past!"

In their view, rejecting the Ancient Divine Sect would mean utter ruin.

And there will be no loss for us if we become enemies.

What difference is there between these realm lords lending their authority and power to the Ten Directions Token and joining forces with the Primordial Divine Sect to attack the Qian Yuan Realm? Since they did so, they must be prepared to pay the price.

In the past, there were always many concerns. My strength wasn't sufficient, and I didn't want to enter the fray prematurely. But now, within this realm, only the Primordial Divine Sect and I remain. There's no way to avoid it, no way to retreat. This battle is simply a matter of when it will begin. Therefore, there are fewer concerns, and we can't just sit and wait for the other side to be ready.”

Li Chengyi said in a deep voice, "What does Father need me to do? Please give your orders!"

Gu Yuanqing asked, "How long until the next trial path begins?"

Li Chengyi said, "It should be in four months."

"Four months from now? That's perfect. I'll also go up to the Ancient Realm Platform to watch this final battle. The best time would have been the Hundred Realms War, but that's still too far away, so we have to settle for second best," Gu Yuanqing said.

Li Chengyi asked, "I understand. Should we release some information beforehand? After all, the Trial Road is only for Dao Fire Realm disciples who have just entered the Dao Path. Most Realm Lords, especially those in the Upper Thirty-Six Realms, won't pay much attention to it."

The opening of the Trial Road is a celebration for low-level cultivators in the Linglong Realm, but for high-level cultivators, it is merely a chance to climb the ladder to heaven.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Just release the news that I will appear on the Ancient Realm Platform a month in advance. There's no need to be too deliberate. It's just about finding an opportunity to say a few words. These words may not have much effect. However, since it is ultimately bullying the weak, we should give them a chance to regret and choose! Otherwise, some people will say that I am too domineering and unreasonable!"

"I understand!" Li Chengyi's tone was tinged with excitement and agitation.

The sealing of the teleportation array in the Qian Yuan Realm, even if it seems to have little impact on the Qian Yuan Realm, is still somewhat frustrating.

In particular, in the last two years, rumors have spread about the Ancient Divine Sect, and no matter how much the Qian Yuan Realm tries to refute them, it is to no avail.

These cultivators from various sects in the Linglong Realm are quick to make sarcastic remarks, and when a cultivator from the Qianyuan Realm can't help but take action, they will be branded with a bad reputation regardless of whether they win or lose.

If you lose, needless to say, you are simply outmatched and have nothing to say; you can only endure the ridicule.

But if they win, it will be because the Qian Yuan Realm is bullying others by relying on its power, preventing the demons from going, and acting arrogantly within their own territory.

As the son of a great cultivator of the Chaos Realm, no one dared to say anything to Li Chengyi in front of him. However, as the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect, seeing the situation of the sect and even the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he naturally felt a burning anger in his heart.

Because his father had not expressed his opinion, and since he could not help, he was even less willing to cause his father any more trouble, so he almost always endured it.

But now, it seems there's no need to endure it anymore.

Gu Yuanqing patted Li Chengyi's arm and said, "As for the rest, as long as the cultivators of Qian Yuan Realm are in the right, then there is no need to consider or worry about anything. We should act when necessary and kill when necessary!"

People often say that patience brings peace and tranquility, and taking a step back opens up a vast expanse. But that applies to mortals. We cultivators should strive for a clear and unobstructed mind. If our hearts are constantly filled with resentment, what kind of cultivation can we talk about?
However, another saying I've heard is more suitable for this situation, let me tell you about it.

"Which sentence is Father referring to?" Li Chengyi asked.

"To tolerate this moment's disturbance to my peaceful cultivation, to retreat a step will disrupt my Daoist resolve!"

……

The entire Qian Yuan Realm was guided by Gu Yuanqing's ideas.

Once Gu Yuanqing had determined the direction, Li Chengyi issued the order.

The entire atmosphere within and outside the Qian Yuan Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty changed accordingly.

Although no one has ever said it outright in the past, when facing cultivators from outside the region, everyone tends to avoid trouble as much as possible, giving way whenever possible and avoiding them whenever possible.

After all, the Qian Yuan Realm was weak and outnumbered, making it difficult to fight against overwhelming odds.

But when Gu Yuanqing said those words, all the cultivators felt reassured!
Apart from the Ancient Divine Sect, which sect can compare to the Qian Yuan Sect? Even the Ancient Divine Sect, which has been fighting with the Qian Yuan Realm for many years, has never really gained any significant advantage except for sealing off the Qian Yuan Realm's teleportation array. On the contrary, the Ancient Divine Sect suffered the tragic death of its divine son and then had its sect leader, Mu Tianheng, personally take action, only to flee in a sorry state.

At first, other sects were not used to this change by Qian Yuan Sect, but when they actually made their move, the cultivators from these other realms couldn't help but change their expressions.

Once they let go of their fears, cultivators from the Qian Yuan Realm are almost always half a level stronger than cultivators from other realms, even though they are at the same level. This is especially true for the core cultivators of the Qian Yuan Sect, who cultivate the Great Dao of the cultivation world and can basically fight across realms.

At this time, the Qian Yuan Realm was already a major sect. In particular, after the Celestials and Void Heaven cultivators from many realms went to the Human-Demon Battlefield, they still had not returned and were said to be cultivating in the Primordial Realm.

How could these remaining cultivators possibly be an enemy of the Qian Yuan Realm cultivators who have been freed from their shackles?

As for reputation, does it matter when you're enemies?

The cultivators from other realms were furious. In their view, the Qian Yuan Realm was clearly in the wrong. They should have just stopped being ungrateful, but instead, they dared to take the initiative to attack.
Under such circumstances, and with the help of those with ulterior motives, the conflict between the Qian Yuan Realm and other realms intensified.

The Ancient Divine Sect was optimistic about this outcome and did not directly intervene at present, but instead secretly fueled the flames.

In their view, the Qian Yuan Realm was courting death, pushing all other realms to its opposite side, which would only hasten its own demise.

At that time, perhaps all it takes is for the Ten Directions Order to take action to quell the situation!

Against this backdrop, the Flame God Sect, citing Gu Yuanqing's theft of their magical treasure as the reason, suddenly launched a great war against the Qian Yuan Realm in the Ancient Realm, which gradually escalated, and then the Underworld Palace intervened in the battle.

Surprisingly, without Gu Yuanqing making a move, the Qian Yuan Sect, currently ranked eleventh, fought against two opponents and forced the Yan Shen Sect, ranked sixth, and the Ming Hai Palace, ranked eighth, in the Linglong Realm to retreat.

This battle took place outside Dongyuan City, and Li Chengyi personally took charge.

Despite possessing the cultivation level of the Third Tribulation of Heavenly Transformation, he managed to force a Yin-Yang Longevity Realm cultivator from the Underworld Sea Palace to flee in disarray. The elder of the Flame God Palace, Gu Jie, who was at the peak of the Third Tribulation of Heavenly Transformation, died completely, and most of his soul was severed, leaving only a remnant soul and spirit to escape from Gu Jie.

After this battle, Li Chengyi became famous.

The Linglong Realm was naturally familiar with this name; it referred to the former ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, a mere Void Heaven cultivator.
However, more than two hundred years have passed, and the world has undergone three major changes, making it possible to fight across different realms.

In the past, such an achievement would have been considered a genius, and the entire Linglong Realm would have been shocked upon hearing the news, exclaiming how this was possible.

However, when everything fell on Li Chengyi, it all seemed to become a matter of course.

The most common dialogue looks like this.

"He broke through from the Void Realm to the Third Tribulation of Heavenly Transformation in just three hundred years? And he can even defeat a Yin-Yang cultivator? What's his name?"

"Li Chengyi".

"Li Chengyi? Gu Yuanqing's son? I see!"

Indeed, with Gu Yuanqing's outstanding achievements preceding him, it is not surprising that Li Chengyi, his son, became a Heavenly Tribulation Three Tribulations cultivator in three hundred years, compared to Gu Yuanqing's achievement.

Some people even said that if my biological father was a Hun Tian Da cultivator, it would be a disgrace if I didn't become a Yin Yang cultivator by the age of three hundred.

Of course, Li Chengyi didn't care about any of these things and was used to them.

Throughout, he never considered himself a genius, after all, besides having such a father, he also had a mother who was equally unmatched by him.

Compared to these two, he considered himself completely ordinary and a burden to his family.

Let's leave those aside for now.

Regardless, Li Chengyi became famous after that battle.

This means that in addition to Gu Yuanqing, the Qian Yuan Realm has gained another capable expert.

At the same time, Li Shian, Qin Wuyai, Ji Dai, Kuang Tongyi, and others also made a great splash.

Li Guanrong, Gu Siyuan, and others also began to show their talent.

The various sects suddenly realized that the strength of the Qian Yuan Realm had grown to this extent.

Some time ago, when the Qian Yuan Realm was holding back and making concessions, the Linglong Realms acted as if they were kicking a dog when it was down, as if everyone dared to provoke them.

But now, as Li Chengyi and his men launched their attack without mercy, everyone around them backed down.

Because they knew that the sudden changes in the Qian Yuan Realm meant that Gu Yuanqing must have given them permission to do this.

Moreover, when Li Chengyi, Gu Yuanqing's son, personally intervened, everything became uncontrollable.

It was as if they had only just remembered that they had provoked a realm possessed by a powerful cultivator!

No one dared to gamble that Gu Yuanqing wouldn't make a move; back then, he had personally annihilated a powerful force. He dared to confront even the Primordial Divine Sect head-on; who would dare to provoke him lightly?
This reality seemed to instantly calm these sect cultivators down.

Even if people might still speak ill of you behind your back, no one dares to provoke you to your face.

At the same time, a piece of news slowly emerged.

That is the Ancient Realm Platform, the final battle of this trial path, where Gu Yuanqing will personally appear.

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire Linglong Realm.

Regardless of whether the rumors circulating in the realm are true or false, this person is a Grandmaster of Chaos!

Although many cultivators in the Linglong Realm had seen Gu Yuanqing before, it was when Gu Yuanqing was still in the Yin-Yang Realm.

These are completely two concepts.

Moreover, the appearance of a Grandmaster of Chaos on the Ancient Realm Platform clearly indicates that he is not here to watch the battles between Dao Fire Realm cultivators on the trial path; he must have other important business to attend to.

Originally, many realms and sects would only send an elder at the Void Heaven or Heaven Transformation level to participate, but with the release of this news, they immediately changed their minds.

This also includes the Ancient Divine Sect!
