Primordial Qi

Lingyao Peak, Gu Chenyu came to the small courtyard near the Lingyao field. There was a glowing Lingyao stone inside to illuminate it, so Bai Yansha hadn't slept yet. He tried his best to put on a good face, tidied his clothes, and smiled, so that he looked more energetic. When he opened the door, Bai Yansha was reading a book. Seeing Gu Chenyu looking good today, he felt relieved.

"What happened that makes you look so much better?" Bai Yansha asked.

"I saw a beauty, a great beauty, Fairy Han, do you know her? I can tell at a glance that you don't know her. She is a peerless genius who has achieved heavenly status in a century. Just now, she danced with a sword in Lingmu City, and I was stunned. When I came to my senses, I almost turned into a snowman."

Gu Chenyu spoke incessantly, not only talking about the sword dance of Fairy Han, but also about how several troublemakers were dealt with in Lingmu City today. His description was very vivid, and Bai Yansha listened with great interest, a smile on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. You look a little more like an adult. Where's Old Li? He hasn't been here recently." Bai Yansha asked.

"Maybe it's because we are going to enter the secret realm tomorrow and things are very busy. He has been very tired recently and might still be working now." Gu Chenyu laughed, and the two looked at each other, with a bit of gloating in their eyes.

Bai Yansha has lived for so many years after all. Under the illumination of the Yaoling Stone, he actually saw the loneliness in Gu Chenyu's eyes. But seeing how he was trying to hide it, he couldn't bear to interrupt him. However, there are some things in his heart that he cannot hold back. If he holds them back for too long, he will get heart disease.

"Silly child, you must be feeling uncomfortable lately." Bai Yansha asked.

"Why feel bad? It is a little hard, but the rewards are also great. So it doesn't seem so hard anymore when you look at it this way." Gu Chenyu said.

"Child, just say whatever you want to say. I know you are unhappy." Bai Yansha's voice was hoarse, and he spoke as gently as possible.

"me……"

Before he could finish his words, his eyes were already filled with tears and his voice was stuck in his throat, unable to utter a word.

Bai Yansha walked forward and touched his head, indicating that if he had anything to say, he should just say it and not keep it in his heart.

"You said you were going to die, and Old Li was also going to that ancient city. If you are not careful, you will die there." Gu Chenyu choked.

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal. You have known this for a long time. Li Tianxuan died for the pursuit of the Tao, but he would have no regrets. Why should you be sad?" Bai Yansha comforted, wanting Gu Chenyu to be more open-minded.

"What about me? What would I do if something happened to you? I have no parents, and I am alone outside. You treated me like a teacher and a father. You didn't accept me as a disciple, but you trained me wholeheartedly and never let me suffer any grievances. After three years of getting along, I already regarded you as my family. But now, one of my relatives has passed away, and the other is in danger. I, I can't bear to let you go."

Bai Yansha was silent for a long time, and there was a line of tears in the corner of his eyes. Relatives, it’s the word relatives. Why did he have an inexplicable emotion? It turned out that he had regarded Gu Chenyu as a relative for a long time. As the person was about to die, he actually felt a little reluctant to let him go.

Outside the courtyard gate, Li Tianxuan listened quietly to the conversation between the two. Hearing what Gu Chenyu said, he couldn't stop crying. "Relatives", what a strange word.

"Okay, good boy, just for the sake of the word "relative", you are worthy of being my disciple. If Old Li doesn't accept you, I will. I just don't know if you are still willing to recognize an old man like me as your master." Bai Yansha was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He had never thought that at the end of his life, he would be able to accept a disciple.

"Who said I don't accept disciples?"

Li Tianxuan rushed in, having wiped away his tears long ago. As soon as he entered the room, he said to Bai Yansha, "You are a hundred-year-old man, and you are still crying. You look really ugly."

"You are really ugly, trying to compete with a dying man like me for a disciple. You must have been eavesdropping a lot outside."

The two of them chatted with each other, as if they had returned to the happy times when the three of them were together.

"You two seniors have been very kind to me. I am willing to take you as my teachers." Gu Chenyu knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, okay, I will accept you as my disciple, no regrets."

"I have been practicing for 267 years. Today I have a disciple. Why do I feel like I have a child in my old age? I want to cry."

.........

After completing the apprenticeship process for mortals, Gu Chenyu also acknowledged the two seniors as his teachers. Bai Yansha's mental state was obviously much better, with a smile on his face. Li Tianxuan directly took out the page of golden paper for Gu Chenyu to observe. This piece of golden paper had been residing in his dantian, and it appeared in his hand as soon as he thought about it.

Gu Chenyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't do it for Li Tianxuan's secret method, but to give Bai Yansha hope of life, to give him the motivation to live, and to let him know that besides his son, there are people who care about him and don't want him to die like this.

Early in the morning of the second day, thousands of cultivators had gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, and guards from various sects were also ready to go below. Gu Chenyu and Li Tianxuan were at the entrance of the secret realm, and they needed to confirm the identity of the people entering.

Every cultivator wears a jade bracelet, which is a magical tool to suppress spiritual power. It can ensure that the cultivator will not use spiritual power and thus will not be eroded by the law of time.

When the two of them distributed the spiritual bracelets, they also confirmed their identities to ensure that there would be no accidents. After verifying their identities, everyone waited for the celestial being to come and open the secret realm. Gu Chenyu also joined the Lingmu Sect team. Today, they all wore the sect disciple uniforms of the Lingmu Sect, blue and white, and the monks also had gold thread trims. The disciples of the Haoyue Sect wore white clothes, the Zhanwu Sect wore yellow clothes, the Tianxing Sect wore black clothes, and there were disciples from other sects, big and small, with different clothes, which were easy to distinguish after entering the secret realm.

Gu Chenyu prepared more than ten storage bags, while the others had at most three. Gu Chenyu naturally used the little power in his hand to prepare them secretly. Anyway, it was not a big deal, so it would be more convenient to dig more spiritual medicines. This kind of storage bag does not need to be injected with spiritual power to use, but it is a little inconvenient to carry.

More than twenty celestial beings came from the sky. Their aura was powerful and their pressure was terrifying. Just standing in the air gave people a huge sense of oppression.

“Take action.”

The leading celestial being spoke, and then released a token, which contained a magic circle, the entrance to the secret realm. The leader formed a seal with both hands and injected spiritual power into it, and the token became dazzling. The other celestial beings also injected spiritual power into it, making it shine even brighter.

boom!

A space crack tens of meters high appeared, and then a hexagonal mirror-like portal appeared.

"Is this the entrance to the secret realm?" Gu Chenyu was shocked.

This entrance was originally used to establish a space channel, and it was only activated by the actions of the twenty-three celestial beings.

"You must be careful when entering the secret realm. There are powerful monsters in the realm. Do not engage in battle when you encounter them. Your own safety is the most important thing. If disciples fight with each other or fight for spiritual medicine in the secret realm, they will be severely punished."

"This time we enter the secret realm, we can come out once a month. Each sect needs to hand in the spiritual medicine for our sect according to the agreed ratio. I hope you will not keep any for yourself and be honest."

"Now, enter the secret realm."

Following the command, there was naturally a deafening cheer from the audience. More than a thousand cultivators flew directly on the objects, while the mortal warriors jumped directly in. Some who were not as strong as them were thrown in by the celestial being with a wave of his sleeves.

Seeing this, Gu Chenyu also jumped and stepped into the portal. After a moment of dizziness, he successfully entered the secret realm.

“We’ve finally arrived at this place.”
