Chapter 128 Cutting Flesh to Cure a Wound Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "Is there a second half to your words?" Zhang Xuanlin said: "There is indeed a second half to the sentence, which is that although the method is good, it is like cutting flesh to cure a wound. I am afraid that this floating world has not yet transformed, and it has been eroded by the demonic realm and is riddled with holes. A mountain is too small compared to a world." Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Then what should I do now according to your opinion?" Zhang Xuanlin said: "If I am not mistaken, you, Mr. Gu, must have inherited the ancient magic refining formation, and intends to use it to change the current situation of this world's poor spiritual energy and fragile space." Gu Yuanqing continued to pour a glass for Zhang Xuanlin and said, "Your Excellency's words also imply that this method is feasible?" Zhang Xuanlin's divine consciousness could only maintain the movement of this body, and all aspects of his abilities and even his judgment were affected. He looked at Yuan Qing's expression and thought that he had guessed correctly, and continued, "It is feasible, but it cannot be accomplished overnight. If we break the original formation, we will put this world in danger. You should think twice." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "You don't want Lingxu Sect to lose this floating world, do you?" "The Lingxu Sect naturally does not want to suffer such a loss, but what is more important is the billions of lives in this world. Compared with this, everything else is nothing." Gu Yuanqing was not sure whether what Zhang Xuanlin said was true or not. In the past, as long as people were on this mountain, he could more or less sense their emotions and thoughts, but when facing Zhang Xuanlin, he could not sense anything at all. Moreover, the other party is just a puppet and a distraction, so any threat would be useless.

Seeing that Gu Yuanqing didn't say anything, Zhang Xuanlin advised again: "I think you are not a heartless person. If you turn back now, it may not be too late." Gu Yuanqing didn't want to say more about this matter. The reality was completely different from what Zhang Xuanlin knew, and he couldn't possibly tell him his details, so he changed the subject and asked, "How much does Sect Master Zhang know about the Demon Realm?" Zhang Xuanlin was slightly disappointed and replied, "I don't know much. A hundred years ago, I had a chance to explore the divine consciousness, but that's all. There are records in some classics, but they are not completely detailed." Gu Yuanqing said: "In that case, let's take a closer look. It's a rare opportunity and it's worth the trip." Zhang Xuanlin sighed: "From what you said, you won't let me go?" Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "After all, Sect Master Zhang is a senior master, a cultivator of the Heavenly Man Realm, and I am a junior student who has not yet made it. I just happen to have many things I want to ask you, but I haven't figured out how to deal with them yet." Zhang Xuanlin stared at Gu Yuanqing for a moment, then laughed: "You kept me here because I saw something I shouldn't know. However, since you know that I am just distracted, how do you know that I can't pass the news to the deity?" "Master Zhang, please don't worry about this. I, Gu Yuanqing, am somewhat confident about this. Besides, if you can really do it, you might not say it out loud." Gu Yuanqing poured another cup of tea for Zhang Xuanlin. Zhang Xuanlin didn't comment, drank the tea calmly, and then said, "Ji Qingyun should be in your hands, right?" Gu Yuanqing did not hide it either: "Indeed, he is here. Would you like to see him, Sect Master Zhang?" Zhang Xuanlin nodded and said, "Since you are here to look for him, let's meet him." As soon as Gu Yuanqing had a thought, Ji Qingyun was swept up from the Tiandi Pond. A moment later, a figure fell into the courtyard. When Ji Qingyun landed on the ground, he saw the middle-aged man sitting opposite Gu Yuanqing. He felt that he looked familiar at first, then he remembered him. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he knelt down quickly: "Disciple Ji Qingyun, I pay my respects to the Sect Master. I am incompetent, and I have caused the Sect Master to come here in person." Zhang Xuanlin saw Ji Qingyun's depressed look and nodded, "Get up. You can't be blamed for this. This young friend Gu's methods are beyond your reach." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "I'm sure you two have something to say, why don't you go out for a walk?" Zhang Xuanlin stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will take a look at the wonders of this mountain, my friend." Ji Qingyun wanted to speak, but suddenly his thoughts changed and he fell silent. Although his mind was not focused, he could still see that there was a weird atmosphere between Gu Yuanqing and his own sect master. A thought arose in his mind, but it was suppressed in the blink of an eye. He only thought that the sect master was a master of the heavenly realm. No matter how talented Gu Yuanqing was, how could he be the sect master's opponent? The two of them turned and left the courtyard. Zhang Xuanlin put his hands behind his back and strolled on the road, as if he was truly appreciating the scenery here. "Master." Ji Qingyun fell back half a step, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Your spiritual power has been suppressed, and you cannot use any of your methods. And here in Beiquan Mountain, I'm afraid you will not be able to hide anything from little friend Gu." As he spoke, Zhang Xuanlin looked back at the courtyard. Gu Yuanqing smiled lightly, thinking in his heart how to deal with the two people in front of him. He couldn't let them go, but there was no point in killing them, especially Zhang Xuanlin, who was just a spirit possessed by a puppet. After killing him, maybe what he saw and heard would be transmitted back to the original body. When Ji Qingyun heard this, his heart sank, and the thought that he had just suppressed surfaced in his mind again. Zhang Xuanlin knew what he was thinking from his expression, and said calmly: "The formation on this mountain is amazing. I used my spiritual power to enter the mountain, and was restricted by it." Ji Qingyun's guess was confirmed, and he was shocked. His face changed in horror. After a moment, he bowed in fear and said, "It is my incompetence that has put the master in danger." Zhang Xuanlin smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. I am just distracted. I just can't save you for the time being." “The path of cultivation is about taking risks and facing challenges. I am insignificant, but the sect master comes to rescue me personally. I have no regrets even if I die.” Ji Qingyun was moved. It was beyond his expectation that Zhang Xuanlin, as the sect master, would risk his life for him. He thought that with the loss of the Tianmen Order, he, a mere insignificant third-generation disciple, would be abandoned. But now that Zhang Xuanlin can come, the grievance of being punished to guard the Floating World for five hundred years has disappeared. Zhang Xuanlin smiled and said, "As the leader of the sect, it is my duty to protect the disciples of the sect. It is not a bad thing for you to go through this disaster. All kinds of disasters are trials. If you can get out of it in the future, your cultivation may be able to go further. Well, let me ask you, how much do you know about this Mr. Gu?" Ji Qingyun said ashamedly, "I used the Burning Heaven Tower to suppress this mountain that day, but was suddenly pulled into the mountain and suppressed. Then I was thrown into a deep pool and turned into a small fish. All I know is what I know outside the mountain. If the sect master has seen the disciples of this world, I am afraid he knows more than me." Zhang Xuanlin glanced at Ji Qingyun, but did not blame him. He asked, "You just said there was a deep pool and it turned into a small fish?" A trace of fear flashed across Ji Qingyun's eyes, and he said, "This pool is very strange. From the outside, it only looks like 50 feet long and wide, but inside it is a vast ocean. Once a person enters, they will turn into a fish. And it's not an illusion, but everything inside and out is the same as an ordinary fish." Zhang Xuanlin frowned: "The treasure of the cave, the art of creation?" "Perhaps, I am just stupid. I have been inside for several months but still haven't been able to find anything." Zhang Xuanlin was silent for a moment. He used some of his mind to investigate the situation in the mountain. However, as soon as this thought came to his mind and his spiritual thoughts were sent out, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure around him, and two parts of his spiritual thoughts were pressed back into the core of the divine court. His body was swaying, as if he was about to fall. Ji Qingyun quickly stepped forward to support him and asked anxiously, "Sect Master?" Zhang Xuanlin took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before regaining control of his body. He pushed Ji Qingyun's hand away and said, "It's okay. This little friend Gu is very cautious." His heart sank a little, knowing that it would be impossible to get out or pass the message to his main body. Even if he was willing to annihilate this strand of spirit, he might not be able to bring back any information in this mountain. As they walked, they chatted about the news related to Beiquan Mountain, and finally stood on the viewing pavilion and looked at the scenery of the Demon Realm outside. It was dark night at this time, with a blood moon in the sky, and occasionally one could see ferocious beasts several feet tall revealing their tracks in the forest. Zhang Xuanlin frowned slightly, knowing that he was a little careless this time when he entered the mountain. He underestimated the people in the floating world, which led to his current situation. Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze. What these two people said was not of much use to him. The suppression of the split spirit of the Heaven and Man Realm today gave him more confidence. At least from now on, he still has not found an opponent in Beiquan Mountain. He just doesn't know what it will be like when facing a real Heaven and Man Realm cultivator. He looked at Beiquan Mountain and thought to himself, "I have to re-plan Beiquan Mountain in the future. All those people I have imprisoned in Beiquan Mountain should be thrown into the Tiandi Pond or separated into an area. Otherwise, it will affect my practice." "Also, since Zhang Xuanlin has come to Beiquan Mountain, he cannot be kept there for nothing. There are still many things that can be mined from the cultivators at the Heavenly Man Realm. Perhaps the cultivation method above the Divine Platform Realm will fall on him." Looking down at Beiquan Mountain again, we can see that the mountain was only about 300 feet high, with cliffs on three sides and a relatively flat front. Coming up the front mountain is a huge square. In the middle of the square is the sect's main hall. A few dozen feet behind the main hall are the Sutra Repository, Sword Casting Pavilion, etc., and the innermost one is the Ancestral Hall where the ancestors of the Beiquan Sword Sect are enshrined. Further back, there is a back mountain that is about fifty feet higher than the front mountain. A narrow gap leads to the Siguo Cliff, and the spiritual spring is also in this back mountain. The surrounding courtyards are divided into two large areas. On the left side, close to the back mountain, there are seven or eight courtyards with good locations. They were all where the former head and elders of the Beiquan Sword Sect lived. The courtyard where Gu Yuanqing lived was one of them.

Below it is the courtyard where the sect's deacons, managers, and true disciples live, and further away is a side courtyard where several servants live. On the right is the place where the disciples of Beiquan Sword Sect practice and stay. The courtyard is quite different, and the cliff where Tianditan is located is also on this side. In the past, there were only six or seven hundred people in the mountain, but now it is much larger. Gu Yuanqing thought about it and decided to let Zhang Xuanlin live in the disciple courtyard below for the time being. A great celestial being should still be given a certain amount of respect, not to mention he wanted to learn some things related to the later stages of cultivation from him. He thought to himself: "When my power to control objects is further improved, my cultivation is at a higher level, and my control over Beiquan Mountain is also better, I will remodel Beiquan Mountain." Among the books sent by the royal family, there were some related books. Gu Yuanqing had a general idea in his mind, but his own means were not enough to support him to make such a big move. Moreover, Beiquan Mountain changed every day, so if he changed it now, he would have to change it again. Gu Yuanqing was thinking about it when he suddenly felt some unusual movement at the foot of Beiquan Mountain. He initially thought that it was just some ferocious beast that broke into the mountain and was moved away, but after a little sense, he found that it was two young people, a man and a woman. They were ragged and had disheveled hair. They seemed to be hiding in panic from being hunted. After stepping into Beiquan Mountain and being teleported to another place, they were looking back in panic. Thanks for the reward from my boss!   (End of this chapter)
