Chapter 431 Sudden News Gu Yuanqing was confused, but no matter what Ji Shan had misunderstood, it had nothing to do with him. The appearance of the Demon-Subduing Sword might be a big deal for the cultivation world, but for him it is still a trump card that can be exposed. His rise and origins might be known to the cultivation world sooner or later, and the fact that he has achieved such a high level of cultivation in such a short period of time is something that arouses suspicion. The inheritance of old man Tianjian can just be used to cover up certain things. As the descendant of a swordsman who once dominated the cultivation world and was suspected to have ascended to become an immortal, it is normal for his cultivation to improve faster, right? Although this might cause some trouble, it was still within Gu Yuanqing's acceptable range. Gu Yuanqing, who had already made up his mind, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know what you understand. If there is any misunderstanding, it seems that I am not deliberately deceiving you." "I understand! I understand!" Ji Shan laughed, seeming to be in a very good mood! Gu Yuanqing shook his head and said with a smile: "Friend Ji, if you are not in a hurry to leave, can you tell me about the current cultivation world? I haven't been out in the world for a long time, so I don't know what the current situation of the cultivation world is like." "What do you want to know?" "Just talk about anything, like the current sect, masters, and situation, right?" Ji Shan pondered for a moment and said, "In the spiritual world and the cultivation world, the righteous cultivators probably respect the three holy places and the nine major sects, while the evil cultivators respect the one palace, two religions, three halls and four sects. These twenty-two forces are all first-class sects. Apart from them, there are the demons."

Gu Yuanqing asked: "Could you please explain in detail, fellow Daoist?" Ji Shan looked at Gu Yuanqing in surprise, but still said one by one: "The three holy places of the righteous path are naturally Lingbao Holy Land, Yunmeng Holy Land, and Yaotai Holy Land, and the nine sects are..." Listening to Ji Shan's explanation, Gu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do all these sects have great cultivators?" Ji Shan laughed and said, "How can there be so many great cultivators of the Huntian Realm? If so, then the outer demons might not be that scary. However, even though the Lingxu Sect, the Five Elements Sect, the Wanxiang Sect, and the Wuji Sect have declined over the past thousand years and do not have a great cultivator of the Huntian Realm in charge, their foundation is still there after all, far beyond what other sects can compare to. Gu Yuanqing had also obtained some information about the cultivation world from people from the six sects of the North Sea, but even Zou Zhixing of the Ziqi Palace was only a Xutian cultivator, and he was overseas, so he knew little about many things above the heavens and humans, especially some things in the spiritual world, about which he was even less clear. Ji Shan did not wait for Gu Yuanqing to ask again, and continued: "Speaking of masters, the world is vast and boundless, and no one knows how many masters there are, but most of them come from these twenty-two top sects. The recognized top three masters are the Three Lords, Ling Zun of Lingbao Holy Land, Xie Zun of Jiuli Palace, and the king of the demon clan - Yao Zun. Below them are..." Ji Shan also mentioned the Yunmeng Holy Land. As one of the three major holy lands, its strength is self-evident. The two powerful Huntian masters made Gu Yuanqing look a little solemn. The one who broke through the void in the pagoda that day must have been one of them. Ji Shan noticed the slight change in Gu Yuanqing's eyes when he mentioned Yunmeng Holy Land, and couldn't help asking: "Fellow Daoist Gu, the fact that Qianyuan Island is under the command of the Heavenly Demon Sword Master came from Xiao Yunqi of Yunmeng Holy Land. Is there any grudge between you and Yunmeng Holy Land?" "There were some grudges in the past, but we will be enemies in the future." Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly. Although Xiao Yunqi only said a few words, these words directly defined Qianyuan Sect as the public enemy of the cultivation world. In other words, if Gu Yuanqing was not strong enough and was approached by people from the cultivation world, the result would be self-evident! You say you didn't do it? Who would believe it? Could it be that the dignified Son of Yunmeng Shengtian would slander you? Ji Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "If you, Daoist Gu, are willing to resolve the grudge, I can mediate on your behalf." "No thanks, thank you for your kindness!" Gu Yuanqing refused. Ji Shan sighed, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not say any more. However, the situation on the battlefield in the outer domain is not optimistic at the moment, and it is best not to cause any major incidents in the cultivation world. How you are going to deal with the grievances between you and the Yunmeng Holy Land needs to be carefully considered." “It is not me who should think about how to deal with this, but the Yunmeng Holy Land. First of all, this matter was caused by the Yunmeng Holy Land. As a holy land, there are many masters, and its Saint Lord Xiao Lingyue is also one of the most powerful cultivators in the world.” Gu Yuanqing was calm and indifferent, without any fluctuation in his tone. Ji Shan looked at Gu Yuanqing deeply. From the time he entered the mountain until now, he had not been able to see Gu Yuanqing's true background. He could not feel any fluctuation of aura from the young monk in front of him, and this cave world seemed to merge into one with his every move. Finally, he said, "When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. If a war really breaks out, it will not be a good thing for the cultivation world and the spiritual world. And if that really happens, fellow Taoist should be more careful. Although fellow Taoist Gu has inherited the legacy of Elder Tianjian, the Yunmeng Holy Land has existed since ancient times and has continued to this day. It has a lot of heritage. Some people say that Xiao Lingyue's cultivation is actually not inferior to that of a spiritual master. Maybe he is only half a step away from becoming a virtual immortal." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, as the saying goes, when an enemy comes, we must stop him; when water comes, we must block it with earth. Who can predict what will happen in the future? It is useless to think too much about it now."

"You are very insightful, I am not as good as you." Ji Shan also laughed, and looked down at the sleeping tortoise on the bottom of the sea, and said, "The tortoise has appeared in the world, and the great era is coming, so people like you can appear. But a few days ago, I met a woman who seemed to be born out of necessity. Although her cultivation is not as good as yours, her achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary." Gu Yuanqing said: "If you can catch the eyes of fellow Taoists, you must be extraordinary. Why not tell me about it?" Ji Shan said: "This girl is also from a famous sect. Although I have only met her once, if I am not mistaken, she should be Li Miaoxuan from Lingxu Sect." "Li Miaoxuan from Lingxu Sect?" The name came so suddenly that Gu Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. Ji Shan was surprised and asked, "What's wrong, fellow Taoist? Are you acquainted with her?" Gu Yuanqing waved his hand: "Nothing, please continue." Ji Shan was only slightly surprised, but he did not think too much about it: "It is said that this woman has only practiced for a hundred years, and was born in the floating world, but now she has the strength of the third calamity of heavenly transformation. It is really amazing. I remember that when I was a hundred years old, I was only at the Divine Platform Realm." Hearing these words, Gu Yuanqing was almost certain that this Li Miaoxuan was the one he knew. His mind was a little shaken, and his breathing became slightly heavier before he calmed down. He asked casually, "Where did you see her, fellow Daoist?" Ji Shan said, "We met by chance outside Fallen Dragon Mountain. It seemed that she was heading for the Holy Heaven Sect, but at that time, the Holy Heaven Sect's lower world leader Shi Jin happened to be at Fallen Dragon Mountain. And given the current situation in the cultivation world, it's best not to cause any more trouble, so I tried to warn her, but it didn't work." (End of this chapter)
