Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 179 The six turbid lands are filled with corrupted immortal energy!
After shattering the demonic light, Gu Yuan still did not relax. He swept his mind back and forth several times, and then circulated his sword intent to sense the Silver Dragon Sword. He made sure that there was nothing abnormal in the entire training room, attic, and even within a radius of ten miles. Only then did he restrain his sword intent.

However, he still infused his sword intent into the Silver Dragon Sword and hung it high above his head. While protecting himself, he could also respond at any time if an accident occurred.

As for Qiuyue, she was also protected by Gu Yuan and was not affected. Fortunately, she survived.

"What just happened?"

Zhenren He Ling appeared in front of Gu Yuan. He swept his mind over all the traces in the training room and caught the traces of demonic energy, sword energy, and murderous intent left in the void. He roughly knew that a battle had just taken place here.

"Master, just now..."

Gu Yuan simply recounted what had just happened from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, although Master He Ling's face was a little gloomy, he did not show any surprise at all.

It seemed that this matter had been anticipated.

"Your progress in swordsmanship has somewhat surprised me. Both the 'Yujing Xuanshu Sword Art' and the 'Huantian Zhanmo Sword Sutra' are among the world's most prestigious sword classics. You've clearly mastered both of these techniques. While the latter seems overly murderous in my opinion, it may be a true manifestation of the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

He Ling Zhenren did not continue to ask about this matter, but instead talked about Gu Yuan's swordsmanship:
"I originally wanted you to follow my path, practicing swordsmanship in an upright and dignified manner, and avoid any deviations. But now it seems that you have begun to embark on your own path. This is fine, as everyone's path is different."

He Ling Zhenren came to the window, looked out, and said leisurely: "A great master once said: Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die."

"It means that everyone's path is different, and there are no two paths or methods in the world that are exactly the same. You can practice the path of your predecessors, but you cannot follow the same path as them."

"It's great that you've developed your own rudiments of swordsmanship! Your teacher is also very pleased!"

Zhenren He Ling was full of praise.

Only those who have received the true teachings of the great sects and those who are truly profound and wise know that it is certainly much more convenient and faster to follow the path pioneered by their predecessors.

But this is also a kind of shackles and constraints.

In the end, people are often trapped in the ways and barriers of their predecessors, unable to break free or surpass them.

Only by paving your own path, or walking your own path, can you continue to make progress and improve, and go further in the future.

Zhenren He Ling originally wanted to choose a grand road for Gu Yuan, but since Gu Yuan has already walked his own path, even if it is just one step, it means that he has embarked on the right path and is destined to have a bright future.

As long as you keep going step by step, sooner or later you will achieve great success and reach the pinnacle of kendo.

He Ling Zhenren changed the subject and said, "However, if you want to continue to comprehend this realm of swordsmanship, there are some things you need to pay attention to."

"Please ask Master for guidance."

Gu Yuan bowed and saluted.

True Man He Ling naturally would not pretend to be mysterious. He reached out and knocked Qiuyue unconscious, then told Gu Yuan all the obstacles he had encountered in comprehending the secret of sword heart enlightenment, without holding back at all.

He now truly regarded Gu Yuan as the opportunity and future for the rise of the sect. He only felt that Gu Yuan was not strong enough, so how could he hide anything from others?

Gu Yuan gained a lot from listening to Master He Ling's sword experience. Although he didn't quite understand most of it, or even didn't understand it at all, he could remember it in his mind and slowly comprehend it later.

After giving his instructions, He Ling Zhenren instructed Gu Yuan to remove the grayish-white energy that he had hidden in the medicinal food. He Ling Zhenren opened the jade bottle and glanced at the few wisps of grayish-white energy within. His expression grew increasingly grim as he sneered, "The six turbid earth's yin-corrupted immortal energy! Good! Very good!"

"I never thought that the person behind this could find such a vicious thing!"

Seeing that Gu Yuan was somewhat puzzled, He Ling Zhenren explained, "This Six Turbid Earth Yin Corrupted Immortal Qi is a kind of extremely evil vital energy that was bred by the Earth Lung Qi Point connecting to the Earth Evil Yin Vein by chance. Its nature is turbid and evil, and it can corrode the vital energy and ruin a person's foundation."

"If you take it into your body, even a tiny bit, it will be enough to pollute your foundation... Not to mention you, even a great Jindan cultivator would have their foundation ruined."

When he said this, a hint of coldness appeared on Master He Ling's face.

Gu Yuan was also silent.

The Dao foundation is the basis for a cultivator's entire life practice, and is also the foundation for the future creation of the golden elixir and the birth of the Yin God and Yang God.

Once the foundation of Taoism is polluted, all cultivation, Taoism, and supernatural powers will naturally be destroyed.

Even if you manage to save your life, you will be disabled.

In this way, Master He Ling's dream of restoring the sect's lineage was cut short.

The person behind this incident is obviously cruel and vicious, and wants to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only does he want to destroy Gu Yuan, but he also wants to strike at Master He Ling and even the hopes of the entire sect. This is murderous and heartbreaking!
He Ling Zhenren asked directly: "A Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"

"I think it was done by someone inside Yaowang Mountain."

Gu Yuan explained his previous guess. As to whether it was a faction of an aristocratic family or a sect, he had no idea and did not make any random guesses.

"Your suspicion does have some truth to it."

He Ling Zhenren nodded, a hint of sharp sword intent condensed between his brows:
"The formless demon just now didn't leave any other roots, and the magical power it released, if I'm not mistaken, should be the famous magical power of the demon path, the Devil Light of Extinction. This magical power is widely circulated, even in the immortal and Buddhist sects, so it doesn't mean anything at all."

"Master Kurumu practices the Way of Withering and Flourishing, and his Yin Spirit is in a strange state, neither asleep nor awake. Therefore, he often misses things happening on the suspended dragon boat. Unless something is life-threatening or something major disturbs the suspended dragon boat's spirit, he will not wake up at all."

"It's unlikely that outsiders would know about this. That formless demon was able to sneak into the dragon boat silently. He must be quite familiar with Master Kurumu and the situation on this suspended dragon boat..."

"Leave this matter to me, the master. You don't have to worry about it!"

He Ling Zhenren sneered, and a murderous intent emanated from him that even made Gu Yuan feel quite frightened:
"Whoever dares to harm my disciple, no matter who he is or what his identity is, I will kill him!"

"Thank you Master!"

Gu Yuan thanked him.

Although he had already joined Yaowang Mountain and became an inner disciple, he did not have much foundation or connections.

It is best to let Master He Ling investigate this matter.

After Master He Ling left, Gu Yuan glanced at Qiu Yue who was unconscious beside him, and the ashes of Qiu Zhi's body on the ground. His eyes were deep.
