I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 574: Why are you so lame?

"Oh, is Sect Leader Jiang about to ascend to immortality?"

Gu Heng asked with great interest.

This is not surprising, after all, Jiang Lingyun is the number one sword cultivator in the world, Gu Heng thinks she must have the potential to become an immortal.

It's not that she's incapable, but that the road is uneven.

"That's right. After all, the Demon Realm is said to be about to invade, and the Xuan Tian Realm is probably not able to resist it. That's why we need to let Master and other cultivators who have been lingering in the Supreme Saint realm ascend to immortality as soon as possible."

Bai Feier said.

Gu Heng stroked his chin: "I see..."

It sounds like they're cramming at the last minute, only now remembering to mention their strength. But if the Demon Realm really comes, the strength of this place is probably not even in the same league.

Really useful?

He felt it was somewhat useful, but it seemed to be the same as nothing.

However, Gu Heng still hoped that Jiang Lingyun could ascend to immortality and become an immortal. Not for any other reason, but so that when he became stronger, he could boast to others that he had a respectable relationship with a sword immortal like Jiang Lingyun.

"Hey, what brings Young Master Gu here all of a sudden?"

After chatting about Jiang Lingyun for a while, Bai Feier started asking about his recent situation.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just taking a stroll out of boredom when someone brought me here and said they wanted me to do some kind of test, so I just went along with it."

In front of Bai Feier, Gu Heng knew that he still had a certain "expert image" and couldn't really tell her that he had only just been able to cultivate and then was conscripted by the soldiers of the Eastern Frontier Alliance.

If that's really the case.

His "image of a wise man" has either completely collapsed or at least become unsustainable.

"what?"

"The Eastern Frontier Alliance actually dares to do this?"

Bai Feier looked on in surprise.

The people of the Eastern Frontier Alliance are so audacious that they dared to bring Gu Heng here. What kind of strength does he have? This Holy Dragon Cave is indeed very dangerous for them disciples, but it probably poses no threat to Gu Heng at all.

Moreover, it's only because Young Master Gu has a good temper that he wouldn't dare to offend such a master.

There's definitely no good juice to eat then.

Furthermore.

Bai Feier heard from Jiang Lingyun that her master guessed that Young Master Gu was definitely a cultivator who had already entered the Immortal Realm!

In this Xuan Tian Realm, where the path to immortality has been severed...

Gu Heng has already become an immortal!

This may sound like a fantasy, but the world is full of mysteries. If you don't delve into it, you can only get a superficial understanding, which is meaningless.

Thus, Bai Feier became even more curious about the mystery surrounding Gu Heng, but she also understood that whatever secrets Gu Heng might have, they were beyond her current or even future understanding.

Fortunately.

I am friends with Young Master Gu, not enemies.

Otherwise, if a hidden dragon like him were to swim into this fishpond, wouldn't these little fish be in a terrible state?

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I didn't lose anything." Gu Heng shook his head. "It's perfect. I can take this opportunity to go and see the Little Mystic Heaven Realm. I don't have to go through the trouble of trying to get up there myself. They'll come and pick me up on their own. Isn't that great?"

"I see."

Bai Feier suddenly realized why Gu Heng was willing to come here; it seemed he had made plans long ago and intended to use some "secret" methods to go to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm.

to be frank.

She was also very interested in the emergence of that new world.

Although coming here to participate in this perilous test was not her original intention, since she was already here, Bai Feier was determined to do her best.

She also wanted to go up and take a look.

What is the Little Mystic Heaven Realm like, where there are immortal-level cultivators?

"You've been hunting in groups lately, haven't you? Pretty good catches, huh?" "Yeah, we disciples of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect have banded together. It makes hunting monsters easier and also deters those scoundrels from plotting murder and robbery..."

Bai Feier and Gu Heng chatted for a few more minutes.

He then waved goodbye to Bai Feier.

He still had places to go next. He would take Shu Tao and Shu Ying to Bai Feier's place, chat with her for a while, and find out how his old acquaintances were doing now. That would be enough.

Gu Heng knew that strength was the prerequisite for getting along with others.

He can maintain his "superior demeanor" indefinitely, but if his own strength doesn't increase, relying on others to imagine how amazing he is is ultimately not a good thing.

Especially now.

We left the small campsite in the forest.

Gu Heng walked a little further away, then brought up the system interface, preparing to use the teleportation function to return to the "starting point." He had no intention of walking back.

If there's a way to teleport, then you have to use it.

But that's it.

Gu Heng saw a figure slowly walking towards him from directly in front of him.

Ok?

An unfamiliar cultivator.

The man appeared to be a bit older than him, radiating an aura that made the surrounding vegetation tremble, but he didn't feel that this aura had any effect on him.

The key point is that you need to be wary when you encounter strangers in this place.

As Bai Feier mentioned in her conversation with him earlier, many cultivators have already entered the Holy Dragon Cave, and their numbers are still increasing.

These don't even include those unfortunate souls who died long ago. Besides...

Even Gu Heng knew that here, killing and robbing treasure was also a way to "complete the test".

In any case, the goal of completing the test is to collect enough "Holy Dragon Blood," which are those very small blood-colored crystal beads. Whether you get them from monsters or snatch them from others, it makes no difference.

"who are you?"

Gu Heng immediately became alert and took out the goose feather knife from his system inventory.

No matter who this person is, if they seem to have ill intentions, there's no need to hesitate; just draw your knife and slash them!

"Human, lay down your weapons! I want you to confess!"

The words that came out of the man's mouth left Gu Heng feeling completely baffled.

Humanity?

Could it be that the person opposite me is not human? Or perhaps, a demon?

Or perhaps, it's something else entirely?

Gu Heng became even more vigilant.

If it's not even human, then it's even more dangerous!

In this godforsaken place, who knows what dangerous things might come out and get you killed!

Furthermore, the fact that he was asked to confess honestly only confused Gu Heng even more. What had he done that required him to confess honestly, and why was he suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and questioned with a cold expression? It didn't seem right at all.

There's a big problem!

Gu Heng silently used the "omniscient perspective" skill, locking his gaze onto the other party.

The feedback came immediately.

"Target: An incarnation of a non-Taoist."

"Threat level: equivalent to none." Seeing this...

Gu Heng grinned and burst out laughing.

Dude, why is it so loose?
