I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 687 Establish your authority!

“Why must Fellow Daoist Gu be so evasive?” Mu Tianheng said.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "The Ancient Divine Sect just told everyone a story, so why don't I tell one for you fellow cultivators as well?"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuanqing created a water curtain, revealing images within it.

Kui Wujiu, the elder of the Primordial Divine Sect, raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but Mu Tianheng raised his hand to stop him, saying calmly, "Let him speak, otherwise the fellow cultivators of the Linglong Realm will think that the Primordial Divine Sect has something to hide and won't let anyone defend themselves. The facts are all there, and it's not like he can just make up stories and distort the truth."

Gu Yuanqing naturally heard this, but he didn't care.

The images within the water curtain flowed continuously, densely packed, the overwhelming scale of the demon race sending shivers down one's spine.

In the scene, Gu Yuanqing slays demons and slaughters monsters, his sword energy traversing thousands of miles, his divine powers burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

There are scenes of several Chaos Demons besieging each other, as well as scenes of the Demon Lord attacking and crashing into forbidden areas.

Each scene was incredibly dangerous. In the blink of an eye, the camera zoomed out to the core of the human defense line, where black beams of light shot into the sky, transforming into a demon altar and condensing into a giant blood-red eye.

Finally, the ancient world and the ancient god mountain descended, and the world fell silent. Everything in the distance seemed to be paused, its movements halted, and this silence spread.

The Hidden Radiance Alliance's forbidden area attempted to distance itself from the ancient realm's phantom, but ultimately to no avail.

Later, everything faded away, and Gu Yuanqing left the battlefield.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Mu Tianheng also clapped: "Fellow Daoist Gu's illusion technique is truly exquisite. However, let me ask you a question: even if the scene in your illusion is fictional, what does it prove? Does it mean that there are spies within my Ancient Divine Sect? Or that my Ancient Divine Sect has ulterior motives and is manipulating our fellow Daoists?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Sect Master Mu, don't be in such a hurry. There's another video. Let's watch it first and then we can talk about it."

The scene changes again, this time to a battlefield in the ancient sacred mountain.

Within the battlefield, disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect, wielding magical treasures and sharp weapons, formed ranks and occupied advantageous terrain.

The unarmed cultivators from the Linglong Realm and the Yinyao Alliance were excluded from the formation.

Mu Tianheng stood at the very front, blocking all cultivators outside the Ancient Divine Sect. Then the demons attacked, and the cultivators of the Hidden Radiance Alliance and the Linglong Realm were attacked from both sides.

In a short time, countless people were killed or injured; the scene was extremely tragic.

Ning Xuxuan and Li Qingyang joined forces to fight the Demon Lord, but because they lacked magical treasures, they were at a disadvantage at every turn.

Before long, he was severely injured and had no choice but to burn his life force to fight the Demon Lord to the death.

He roared in the direction of the Ancient Divine Sect, "Mu Tianheng, you will die a horrible death! You have brought the demon race here and slaughtered your fellow cultivators. Such acts are abhorrent to both gods and men."

Faced with this situation, the Ancient Divine Sect simply held its ground, preventing the demons from approaching and also preventing the Hidden Radiance Alliance and Linglong Realm cultivators from retreating.

Mu Tianheng watched indifferently.

At this moment, Li Lingyun came to Mu Tianheng and seemed to be arguing fiercely with him. Then, Mu Tianheng became angry and attacked Li Lingyun. Lei Fuyue then joined the battle.

In the scene, the disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect looked flustered and at a loss, not knowing why this sudden change had occurred.

Finally, Li Lingyun was suppressed by Mu Tianheng and Lei Fuyue. He roared in anguish, "Mu Tianheng, for your own selfish reasons, you destroyed the Lingyuan Realm, causing the fall of the Realm Abyss defense line. You disregarded the lives of our comrades and the safety of the Linglong Realm in the war between humans and demons, allowing the demons to place magic arrays within our human defense line, causing it to collapse. And now you are using the demons as an excuse to eliminate dissidents..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was completely suppressed.

Both the upper and lower realms of the Ancient Boundary Platform were silent, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "A wisp of my spirit entered the Ancient God Mountain. Although I have little combat power, I happened to witness this scene. I wonder if Sect Master Mu has anything to say?"

"This is nothing but a fabricated illusion. Do I need to say anything?" Mu Tianheng replied indifferently with a blank expression, but his heart was far from calm.

He naturally knew this was not true, but the terrain and scenery of the Ancient God Mountain battlefield were no different from reality. This meant that either Gu Yuanqing knew something from others, or he might have actually entered the Ancient God Mountain battlefield.

Mu Tianheng glanced in the direction of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. If it was the former, there were two possibilities: one was Ning Xuxuan, who cultivated the power of the rule artifact, the Limitless Ruler, and was also proficient in the Dao of Space, so he might be able to escape from the battlefield; the other was that there was a traitor within the sect!
If it's the latter... then the assessment of Gu Yuanqing's strength needs to be raised to another level.

The Ancient God Mountain battlefield is under the absolute control of the Primordial God Sect, and is guarded by the divine soul of the sect's patriarch. It is not something that can be easily escaped.

Gu Yuanqing sneered, "Whether it's true or not, Sect Master Mu knows perfectly well. The Ancient Divine Sect has suppressed the past and present for so many years and protected the safety of the Linglong Realm, which can be considered meritorious. But today, all they do are evil deeds. You, Mu Tianheng, as the sect master, are the culprit."

Mu Tianheng's face immediately darkened, but before he could speak, Kui Wujiu stood up abruptly and roared, "You surnamed Gu, I think you're courting death! You deserted in the face of battle, and even tried to distort the truth, slander my Ancient Divine Sect, and insult my sect leader. You are truly a beast in human form, shameless and despicable! Such a person should be punished by all of us in the Linglong Realm!"

Gu Yuanqing glanced at him indifferently and said, "Is this because your evil deeds have been exposed, and you're so ashamed and angry? You're still alive, so you must be in cahoots with Mu Tianheng. If we're talking about turning black into white, your Taigu Divine Sect is the best at it. Back then, you colluded with the Yanshen Sect to slander me and used that as a reason to seal my Qianyuan Realm's teleportation array. This time, you've done evil deeds yourself, and you're trying to frame me. Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

"Elder Kui, why get angry? The truth cannot be hidden, and falsehood cannot be made true. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, how can he slander my Ancient Divine Sect with just a few words?"

Mu Tianheng calmly stopped Kui Wujiu, then looked at Gu Yuanqing and said, "Gu Yuanqing, your desertion in the face of battle is not a capital offense, but do you know that when you slandered my Divine Sect, you were already guilty of a crime deserving death?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled: "Of course you want to kill me, because if you kill me, no one will be able to expose your true colors. Ning Xuxuan is dead, the experts of the Hidden Radiance Alliance have been wiped out by you, and the righteous people within the Ancient Divine Sect have also been killed by you. Once I am dead, you, Mu Tianheng, can do whatever you want with this vast Linglong Realm."

Mu Tianheng shook his head and said, "You are stubborn and unyielding. I was originally thinking that you had a hard time cultivating, and if you could repent, I would give you a way out. But now... I have already done more than enough. You are just relying on the fact that you are in the Qian Yuan Realm. My Taigu Divine Sect is afraid of the lives of the people in the Qian Yuan Realm and dare not make a move against you. But let me tell you, you have made a mistake!"

"Just like when you attacked the Lingyuan Realm on trumped-up charges back then? Mu Tianheng, I know perfectly well what your Ancient Divine Sect is up to. You're smearing me just to use the Ten Directions Token to seal off my Qianyuan Realm later, aren't you? Well then, today I'll just say one thing..." At this point, Gu Yuanqing suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "I've come here today specifically to reveal the truth to the public. As for whether my fellow Daoists in the Linglong Realm believe me or not, I don't care. However, I have one thing to say, and I'll put it here today: when the Ancient Divine Sect used the Ten Directions Token to seal off my Qianyuan Realm, many other realms were only doing so by borrowing the power of their Realm Tokens from the Ancient Divine Sect!"

However, considering that you may all be coerced and misled by the Ancient Divine Sect, I will give you a chance. Ten days. I will give you ten days. If you are unwilling to reclaim the power of the Domain Token, then you are making an enemy of me, Gu, and my Qian Yuan Realm! Do not think that by sealing the teleportation array and possessing the power of heavenly punishment, you can rest easy. Of course, anyone who wants to try is welcome to do so!

In the end, Gu Yuanqing's gaze swept across the faces of the 107 realm masters of the exquisite realm, his sharp eyes piercing into the eyes of all the cultivators like a sword.

All the cultivators felt a chill in their hearts and involuntarily avoided looking at each other.

This was a major undertaking, and no one dared to disregard Gu Yuanqing's words!
Mu Tianheng also stood up and said coldly, "Arrogant! I, Mu, will say this here today: if Gu Yuanqing dares to attack any realm, my Ancient Divine Sect will immediately and completely seal off the Qian Yuan Realm!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly: "Further words are useless. I've already said what I needed to say. It's up to each of you to decide what to do."

The cultivators from the Linglong Realm, who had once used the power to seal off the Qianyuan Realm, looked away with fear in their hearts. Even though Mu Tianheng had said these words, it was still difficult for them to feel safe.

In the past, when the Ancient Divine Sect wanted to take action against the Qian Yuan Realm, they were willing to lend their strength because the Ancient Divine Sect was powerful. No matter how strong Gu Yuanqing was, he was just a Yin-Yang cultivator. With the teleportation array sealed, even if Gu Yuanqing wanted to take action, it wouldn't be so easy. Although there are ancient treasures in the Ancient Realm that can cross realms, even if they enter the realm, they still have the power of Heavenly Punishment as a trump card.

Back then, when Gu Yuanqing killed the Ten Directions Misty Rain Pavilion, he too had no choice but to retreat in the face of divine punishment.

But things are different now. The power of the Great Chaos Cultivator is far beyond what the Yin-Yang level can compare to. Whether the power of Heavenly Punishment can withstand it is still unknown.

Faced with Gu Yuanqing's threat, no one dared to take it lightly.

For most people, although they had sided with the Ancient Divine Sect, they were still wavering when faced with their own threats. After all, this was ultimately a feud between the Ancient Divine Sect and Gu Yuanqing, and what did it have to do with them?

Now that Gu Yuanqing has directly targeted them, and the matter is now directly concerning them, how can they remain indifferent?

Seeing the crowd wavering, Kui Wujiu gave Qin Tianyang, the Palace Master of the Flame God Palace, a look.

In the distance, Qin Tianyang gritted his teeth, stood up, and shouted, "Gu, who are you trying to scare? If you have the guts, try it! Everyone, don't be intimidated. I refuse to believe that evil can triumph over good!"

Gu Yuanqing's gaze fell on Qin Tianyang, and he said indifferently, "Is that so? Back then, it was your Yanshen Sect that willingly acted as a lackey of the Taigu Shen Sect. Today, you still dare to bark like a dog. Then let's settle the grudges from back then first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared in Gu Yuanqing's eyes.

This is the Heavenly Pivot Sword of the Demon-Subduing Sword, the Heart Sword Technique!

It can reflect all things, making the sword mind clear, and it can also make the mind the sword!

This is a secret technique of the soul; by making eye contact, one can perform this wondrous art.

Even with the protection of the floating platform, which greatly weakens this technique, Qin Tianyang is merely a cultivator at the Heavenly Transformation level. Compared to Gu Yuanqing's cultivation, he is like an ant. Moreover, the Heart Sword Technique is different from ordinary techniques.

The moment Gu Yuanqing had that thought, Qin Tianyang sensed an impending calamity. His Dao Heart pounded violently, his expression changed drastically, and he cried out, "Sect Master Mu, save me..."

"Gu Yuanqing, how dare you..." Mu Tianheng shouted angrily.

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Tianyang unleashed sword energy from his entire body, completely annihilating Gu Yuanqing's soul and body. The Celestial World, which was about to appear, was also destroyed by the sword energy. Even the speed of the Ancient Realm's rules seemed to be half a step slower than Gu Yuanqing's.

"metropolitan……"

The other elders of the Flame God Sect cried out in terror, but there was nothing they could do but use their secret techniques to protect themselves.

They never imagined that Gu Yuanqing would dare to make a move, nor did they expect that Gu Yuanqing's power would be able to overcome the protection of the Ancient Realm Platform and kill their sect leader.

The other cultivators from the Linglong Realm also had their pupils shrink. After Qin Tianyang from the Flame God Sect stepped forward, some of them had considered following him, but now they were only left with cold sweat, wondering if their fate would be the same as Qin Tianyang's if they had actually spoken up.
Even if it's just a distraction here, if it gets slashed, it will at least be seriously injured.

If Gu Yuanqing could make a move in front of the Ancient Divine Sect, what would happen to him in the Linglong Realm?

Gu Yuanqing turned his head indifferently to look at Mu Tianheng and smiled, "Sect Master Mu, what do you want to say?"

"Good, very good! Gu Yuanqing, since you have entered the demonic path, then wait to die!" Mu Tianheng's expression was cold, and his aura surged, clearly he was extremely angry. However, on the Ancient Realm Platform, there were rules protecting him, so even if he made a move, he could not hurt Gu Yuanqing, who was at the same level as him. Just like Gu Yuanqing did not directly attack Mu Tianheng, it was not very meaningful.

Gu Yuanqing calmly sat down, ignoring Mu Tianheng, and turned to the other cultivators from the Linglong Realm, saying indifferently, "I killed him today to warn you all. My grudges with the Ancient Divine Sect are not something you can interfere with. I also want to tell you a fact: do not harbor any illusions. If you are willing to be the lackeys of the Ancient Divine Sect, the Ancient Divine Sect will not be able to protect you!"

The entire sky above the ancient boundary platform was utterly silent.

The cultivators below the Ancient Realm Platform were also silent and trembling, exchanging bewildered glances with rather grim expressions.

In their view, Gu Yuanqing was far too arrogant, and they knew that this was a warning to others, but others had the power to do so!
Whether the story told by Gu Yuanqing and the Taigu Divine Sect is true or false is not important. What is important is that in the face of Gu Yuanqing's threat, who among them dares to ignore it?

At that very moment, the trial battle of the Dao Fire Realm in the Ancient Realm Platform also came to an end.

As expected, Gu Yuanqing's great-grandson, Gu Haochen, outshone a group of young geniuses and won the championship.

Gu Yuanqing glanced down and smiled slightly: "Let's leave it at that for today. I hope you all will carefully consider this over the next ten days. Don't become pawns of the Ancient Divine Sect before you even understand the truth of the matter."

As the words fell, the figures of Li Chengyi and Li Shi'an on the floating platform slowly disappeared. The last to leave was Gu Yuanqing, in order to prevent Mu Tianheng from taking action.
