I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 881 Arrival in the Primordial Realm!
The ninth heavenly tribulation had reached its peak, and the swirling tribulation clouds stared at Li Miaoxuan like the eye of divine punishment.

Li Miaoxuan was surrounded by nine mountains of calamity, her heart lamp shone brightly, and all kinds of powers were united.

The Dao Source True Seed has been formed, and its power was originally at a low point. However, in the next instant, a huge power was born from its body. The power of the Dao Source True Seed seemed to have been strengthened a bit, and the newly generated true essence rapidly grew stronger, and its aura also rapidly increased.

Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly. He could roughly guess that after killing the Heavenly Demon back then, Li Miaoxuan still had some resources left unused, and this was what she was waiting for.

Without the period of weakness that comes with rebuilding from the ashes, there shouldn't be any problems getting through this ordeal.

The most important thing is still the human tribulation.

Gu Yuanqing looked out over the outer realms with his hands behind his back, and the only thing that came to mind was the Primordial God Sect.

Just now, three true god souls arrived from the Ancient Divine Sect, but there are still three others in the Ancestral Hall.

Moreover, although he scared the three away, there is no doubt that he did not stop them in the outer realm.

He had a feeling that the Ancient Divine Sect might do something else during this period, and this feeling made him somewhat uneasy.

"Perhaps, I should go and take a trip!"

"It is impolite not to retaliate. Rather than waiting for them to come to us, we should confront them in the Primordial Realm!"

Using the power of a illusory immortal to fight against a true god of the Primordial God Sect who controls the power of multiple rule artifacts in the Primordial Realm might be a bit risky, but with the Heavenly Fishing Technique, self-preservation should not be a concern.

Previously, he was worried that his strength might not be enough to deal with those old guys. If he made a move in advance, they would find out his strength and weaknesses. If they came prepared when Li Miaoxuan was undergoing her tribulation, it would be even more troublesome for him to deal with them.

But now, the two sides have already exchanged blows. Even though it was a brief exchange, the other side doesn't know his exact strength, but has already made a preliminary judgment on his level of power. There's no point in hiding it anymore.

"The Primordial Divine Sect will either not make a move at all, or it will be earth-shattering! It might even... directly destroy the Qian Yuan Realm!"

As this thought arose in my mind, the feeling of unease grew stronger.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes sharpened, and then he took a deep breath, and a Dharma body emerged from his body.

Then, by combining the Northern Spring Cave Heaven with the Qian Yuan Realm, and following the connection between the exquisite array, he once again locked onto the Primordial Realm.

The Heavenly Fishing Technique was immediately employed, and in the next moment, this Dharma Body had already arrived outside the Primordial Realm.

It wasn't that he didn't want to enter directly, but rather that the connections between the exquisite arrays were insufficient for him to anchor himself directly into the Primordial Realm.

Even if you've already reached the outside of the boundary, getting in isn't so simple.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that his mind and spirit were always connected to his main body, and that he could use the connection between the Qian Yuan Realm and the Primordial Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to "see" this world from here!
Its boundary membrane remained intact, and its physical form disappeared into the void. Even though Gu Yuanqing was proficient in the Dao of Space, he could not find it.

Moreover, even if you see it, it's still very difficult to get in.

The Primordial Realm is far too vast, and the corresponding membrane of this realm is equally incredibly tough, far surpassing any other exquisite realm.

What appears to be a thin membrane is actually a world within a world, composed of layers upon layers of spatial principles and chaotic energy. If an outside cultivator were to enter directly, they would be trapped in a spatial labyrinth formed by the Great Dao of this world.

This is also a means of self-protection for the world, which arose in accordance with the Great Way!
Gu Yuanqing closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly reached out a hand, and the phantom of the Taixu Creation Wheel rose from his hand.

"Fortunately, over the past few hundred years, the power of the Taixu Creation Wheel has been transformed into a seed of supernatural power, and it has been cultivated to the fourth level!"

The artifact of rules embodies the great Dao of this vast world, and its power permeates the entire Linglong Realm, including the Primordial Realm.

Just as the Primordial Divine Sect could easily enter the Qian Yuan Realm with the help of the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram, Gu Yuanqing, who controls the Tai Xu Creation Wheel, can do the same.

The Taixu Creation Wheel emitted a shimmering light, permeating into the void.

Gu Yuanqing's Celestial Realm also opened, with spatial Dao imprints flashing.

After a moment, Gu Yuanqing revealed a slight smile.

"found it!"

The illusory image of the Taixu Creation Wheel shone brightly, enveloping Gu Yuanqing's figure. With one step, it vanished from its original spot.

……

The Primordial Realm.

Inside the Ancestral Hall of the Ancient Divine Sect.

Zhou Tianyan, Mu Qingxuan, and Li Huang have returned.

Six towering divine souls stood in the void.

One of the ancient Dharma images, imbued with the aura of life and death, opened its eyes: "You... failed?"

Zhou Tianyan's expression turned slightly gloomy: "This man surnamed Gu possesses the power to tear apart my Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram. We have no choice but to return first."

"It can tear apart the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram? Does it possess the power of a true god?" The first to speak was a Dharma Image on the left, emanating the aura of a mountain. This person was named Yan Guichi. Although his attributes were very different from Zhou Tianyan's Dharma Image, his fundamental path was still the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram.

Zhou Tianyan was still shaken: "This person should still be a demigod, but the power he controls has indeed reached the level of a true god. My true artifact was torn open and a divine punishment aura descended. The three of us almost lost our lives on the spot."

Mu Qingxuan chimed in, "Now that I think about it, after that sword strike, he probably still had some strength left. He must have been worried about the origin of the Heavenly Punishment and its impact on the Qian Yuan Realm, and he was also worried that we would all perish together. That's why he used that to force us to retreat."

Feng Wuhen, surrounded by azure gales, said, "So... this Gu fellow has become a major threat!"

With a voice as loud as a bell, Li Huang, whose power was wrapped in lightning, said in a deep voice: "This person must be eliminated. He has only been cultivating for a little over six hundred years, yet he has such power. If we wait any longer, it will only become more and more difficult to deal with. Moreover, I suspect that he is not from the Linglong Realm, but from the Fayuan Realm!"

Upon hearing the words "Dharma Source Realm," the gale surrounding Feng Wuhen trembled.

Even the ancient Dharma image seemed to show a flicker of emotion: "Is this really true?"

Li Huang exchanged a glance with Zhou Tianyan and Mu Qingxuan, and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Great Venerable, although this is only our guess, judging from all the signs, it is very likely."

“What Fellow Daoist Li said is also our speculation. The path of cultivation is extremely difficult. If he were truly a native who grew up in the Floating Realm, how could he become a demigod in just six hundred years? Moreover, he has a deep understanding of the changes in the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram, and he tore it apart with just one sword,” Zhou Tianyan said.

Mu Qingxuan also said, "He is very knowledgeable about the power of the True God level. Although he is only at the demigod level, he can fight against us. Although we are not at our peak, the difference between a major realm is still enormous."

Zhou Tianyan continued, "I used the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram to deduce its origins, and all I saw was a fog. The place where it resides is also extraordinary. I suspect it is a forbidden artifact like the Guizang Hall."

……

The three of them took turns recounting the entire story of the battle.

Especially after hearing that neither the power of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror nor the Nirvana Purification Cauldron could cause any damage to that mountain, the atmosphere in this divine realm became somewhat heavy and oppressive. The more difficult Gu Yuanqing was to deal with, the greater the threat he posed to them.

The Linglong Realm is their foundation, and they intend to use the cultivators in this realm to continue their path. However, an outsider has now entered this back garden, seized the fortune of a Yuanhui, and used it to achieve enlightenment.

This is how they cut off their own path.

Moreover, the legal source of relationships is something that cannot be ignored.

The ancient Dharma image slowly spoke: "Since this person is no longer useful to us and poses a threat, then we should eliminate him as soon as possible."

“What the Great Venerable says is absolutely right. However, this person is in the Qian Yuan Realm, and Beiquan Mountain exists like a forbidden area, connected to the entire Qian Yuan Realm. We must plan carefully before we kill him!” Zhou Tianyan said.

The ancient Dharma Image said indifferently, "Then let's destroy the Qian Yuan Realm as well. This Yuanhui has just begun, and the new Linglong Realm will have time to be born."

Li Huang said, "I second that. Even the forbidden land needs to rely on the power of the world. As long as the Qian Yuan Realm is destroyed, then Bei Quan Mountain will be like water without roots, and it can be destroyed in the blink of an eye!"

"I second that!"

"Seconded!"

……

The ancient Dharma Image said calmly, "Since that's the case, then I will personally take action. I will use the Guizang Hall to suppress its world origin, use the power of the Heavenly Law Bell to set its boundary laws, use the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram to disturb its Great Dao River, use the Qiongtian Wanhua Edict Wind Seal and the Juntian Thunder Mirror to destroy its foundation, and use the Nirvana Purification Cauldron to burn its spiritual energy origin and life imprint, aiming to annihilate it in one blow... Hmm?"

At this point, the ancient statue suddenly stopped.

"Great Venerable One? What's wrong?" Feng Wuhen asked.

The ancient Buddha raised his head, his gaze seemingly looking through the hall to the outside, and slowly said, "We haven't even made a move, yet someone has come knocking on our door!"

The crowd's divine senses probed outwards through the Ancestral Master's Hall.

"Gu Yuanqing! You have quite the nerve!" Lightning flashed in Li Huang's eyes, and thunder rippled around him.

"This is Gu Yuanqing?"

……

Gu Yuanqing entered the Primordial Realm.

Standing in mid-air, above the clouds, looking at this vast and boundless world, he sighed softly: "What a world! The spiritual energy is abundant, the Great Dao is almost perfect, the sky is wide and the land is vast, with almost no boundaries. Treasures of nature can be found everywhere. It is comparable to the Spirit Realm, and can even be considered a great world!"
"What a pity! This world has fallen into the hands of a group of old fogies, becoming their means of survival. Otherwise, perhaps many demigod-level cultivators would have emerged!"

These remnant souls of true gods rely on all the cultivators of the Linglong Realm as resources to continue their path of cultivation. It is conceivable that whenever a person with exceptional talent appears, they will likely be visited by these old fellows when they are undergoing the Great Tribulation of Undying in Chaos.

From this perspective, perhaps people like Ning Xuxuan, Mu Tianheng, and Li Lingyun are not the truly top-tier talents in this world, but rather those who were left behind after they were selected.

According to Li Lingyun, at each Yuanhui (a period of time in Chinese mythology), there are even more cultivators like himself who are born with great fortune, and they will likely find it even harder to escape the mastermind behind this.

After years of arduous cultivation, all that is done is to benefit someone else – how tragic and lamentable!
If it weren't for the existence of Beiquan Cave Heaven, my fate would probably have been the same.

There were many cultivators in the Primordial Realm. Gu Yuanqing swept his divine sense across them and used the Divine Intent Spirit Analysis Technique to easily find the location of the Primordial Divine Sect from their memories.

And luckily, this place is not too far from the location of the Ancient Divine Sect's mountain gate, only two million miles away.

With each step he took, he covered a thousand miles, his figure constantly flashing in the void.

Half an hour later, the Ancient God Mountain Range came into view.

The Ancient God Mountain Range is filled with towering peaks, resembling ten thousand dragons crawling, with its main peak reaching majestically into the sky.

Above the mountain range, a profound aura of the Great Dao, woven from materialized spiritual energy and Dao essence, shrouded the area. At times, it transformed into seven-colored rays of light, and at other times, it condensed into chaotic energy. Ordinary cultivators who touched it were assimilated.

Within the mountain range, Daoist palaces stretch endlessly, based on the stars and arrayed by mountains and rivers, absorbing and releasing boundless spiritual energy.

The cultivators coming and going exuded powerful auras. Those at the Heavenly Transformation Realm were as numerous as carp crossing a river, and cultivators at the Yin-Yang Realm were not uncommon. Furthermore, there were chaotic auras hidden deep within, which resonated with the laws as they breathed in and out.

Such a phenomenon truly transcends the scope of ordinary major sects and is worthy of being an existence that has dominated the Linglong Realm for countless ages.

Although Mu Tianheng, Li Lingyun, Elder Jiantian, and others at the Undying Huntian level defected, there is no doubt that without Gu Yuanqing's existence, no sect could shake the rule of the Ancient Divine Sect.

It's no wonder that the Ancient Divine Sect almost went into seclusion back then, leaving the affairs of the Linglong Realm to their true disciples.

Perhaps the other ordinary lineages in this world are also more powerful than the inheritances of the other 107 Linglong Realms, and only cultivators above the Yin-Yang level can barely catch their eye.

Gu Yuanqing stood in mid-air, looking at the location of the mountain gate.

There stood a memorial archway, hundreds of feet tall, cast entirely from spiritual gold and divine materials.

The four ancient Daoist inscriptions on it are vast and ancient, faintly radiating the power of the Great Dao.

"What a sight!" Gu Yuanqing sighed with a hint of sarcasm.

"How dare you! What kind of wicked creature are you, to dare to covet the Divine Sect!"

Amidst a series of resounding shouts, the void on both sides of the archway trembled, and two divine puppets, each a hundred feet tall, emerged, wielding long swords and covered in golden armor, their eyes opening and closing with divine light.

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow, noticing that this puppet bore some resemblance to the Golden Armored Divine Puppet of the Great Wei Dynasty in the Ancient Realm, possessing strength approaching the peak of Yin and Yang.

He thought to himself, "As expected, there are still secrets between the Ancient Divine Sect and the Great Wei Divine Dynasty that I am unaware of."

At the same moment, an alarm bell rang inside the mountain gate.

Dozens of cultivators at the Heavenly Transformation Realm took to the air, several Yin-Yang Realm auras soared into the sky, and a cultivator at the Chaotic Heaven Realm also arrived.

Gu Yuanqing was not surprised by this reaction, after all, he had not concealed his presence when he arrived here.

Moreover, the Ancient Divine Sect is undoubtedly the leader of all sects. Where in the world has any cultivator dared to fly in the air?
An elder at the Yin-Yang Realm flew into the air, his body swirling with Yin and Yang energies, and shouted sternly, "Where did this madman come from? How dare you act so presumptuously in mid-air in the sacred land of the Divine Sect! Come down at once!"

Gu Yuanqing glanced at him indifferently, and the Yin-Yang Realm cultivator let out a scream and fell from mid-air.

"You still dare to make a move? You're courting death!" The other cultivators from the Ancient Divine Sect were furious and unleashed their magical treasures and supernatural powers to attack Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing stood calmly in the void, his hands behind his back. A flash of sword light appeared in his eyes, and the flying magical treasures shattered one after another. All the cultivators seemed to have suddenly lost their strength, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling down one after another.

The elder who arrived later at the Chaotic Heaven Realm finally saw Gu Yuanqing's face clearly. His pupils contracted violently, his expression changed drastically, and he even lost control of his true essence, falling half a zhang from the air. He exclaimed, "It's...it's you?! Gu Yuanqing?!"
