Chapter 553: The Secret of the Spiritual Abyss Ye Xuanxiao was sitting cross-legged in the cave, nurturing his energy and preparing for the yin and yang catastrophe. He practiced the Taikoo Divine Sect's Nine Heavens Thunder God Scripture, which is also one of the most superior techniques of the Taikoo Divine Sect. It controls thunder and condenses the Thunder God's Dharma image. The Thunder God's Dharma image has evolved to the extreme. With the help of the power of the rule artifact, he can draw his breath into the spirit and condense the mark of the Thunder God's Dao. Going a step further, one would place and brand the imprint of one's own Dao rules on the divine artifact of the Dao of Thunder and achieve Hun Tian. This was the cultivation path he had originally planned, but after deducing that Gu Yuanqing might have control over a regular artifact, he was no longer willing to follow this path. The artifact of thunder rules is indeed the most top-level artifact in this world, apart from the fundamental artifacts such as the Monument of Heaven and Earth and the Tower of Babel that construct this world. If it can be controlled, it can even punish on behalf of God. But getting to this point is easier said than done. From ancient times to the present, there have been many people who aspire to this path. Even if one is the son of God, a genius standing at the top of this generation, he is still only a junior after all. How can he compete with those seniors who have practiced for countless more years than himself? If Gu Yuanqing has an ancient artifact in his hand, it is very likely that it has no owner yet. Even if it is not as good as the top-level rule artifact, the road ahead is smooth. How can the power enjoyed by one person be compared to that shared by many and fought for by many? Ye Xuanxiao looked at the message talisman that fell into his hand, used a special technique to unlock the seal, and probed in with his soul. Among them is the image of Gu Yuanqing appearing in the Huanling Sect.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly activated the token on his waist with his mind. A moment later, Guan Dongchen arrived. "Meet Senior Brother." "You don't have to be so polite, Junior Brother." "Big Brother, did you ask me to come here for anything?" "There is indeed something, please come over, Dongchen." Guan Dongchen said, "Big Brother, please give me your instructions." Ye Xuanxiao took out an invitation and said, "Lu Zeyu passed away while undergoing the tribulation, and the new leader of the Huanling Sect took over and sent an invitation. As the leader of all the sects, my Taikoo Divine Sect should also go to watch the ceremony, but I am preparing to undergo the Yin-Yang Tribulation, so it is inconvenient for me to go out. I would like to ask my junior brother to do this for me." Guan Dongchen took the invitation, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "So it's about this matter, don't worry, I'll be there right away." "There is one more thing. If you have the chance, please help me with it." Ye Xuanxiao said again. Guan Dongchen said: "Brother, please speak." Ye Xuanxiao took out a magic mirror and said with a smile: "Gu Yuanqing, as a guest of Huanling Sect, may also attend the succession ceremony of the Sect Master. If you have the chance, use this mirror to look at him." Guan Dongchen was slightly startled: "Yin Yang Mirror?" Ye Xuanxiao nodded slightly and said, "Last time I invited him to the Ancient Realm, he didn't come, and it was also for future emergency needs." Guan Dongchen smiled and said, "Big Brother is really thoughtful." Ye Xuanxiao sighed, "A great Yin-Yang cultivator who possesses a Dao weapon must be cautious. The Lingyuan Realm is a precedent. Now is no longer the same as before. It may take tens of thousands of years for a floating realm to be promoted. This time, the Qianyuan Realm is a special case. Linglong Realm cannot have another existence like the Lingyuan Realm, otherwise the entire Linglong Realm will be at risk." Guan Dongchen nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I know what to do." Ye Xuanxiao warned again: "Be careful, even if this person who came to Huanling Sect is just a clone, he is a great Yin-Yang cultivator after all." "So what if he is a great yin and yang cultivator? I am not necessarily afraid of him. Besides, it is not my real self who is here. Unless he brings a Taoist weapon with him on his clone, I still need to be concerned."

Guan Dongchen laughed loudly. With his cultivation level at the late stage of the third calamity of the Heavenly Transformation, as a cultivator from the Taikoo Realm and a true disciple of the Taikoo Divine Sect, both his skills and the great ways he cultivated were far beyond what an ordinary Linglong Realm could compare to. Coupled with magic weapons, it was normal for him to fight across a major realm. Ye Xuanxiao said: "No matter what, we must be more careful. It is best not to have a direct conflict to avoid more accidents. Moreover, if he knows the general situation, he may be our comrade in the future. There is no need to make enemies now." "Don't worry, senior brother. I'll take care of it." Guan Dongchen nodded. …… The Huanling Sect attaches great importance to Gu Yuanqing's arrival. A great Yin-Yang cultivator, and a guest official of the Huanling Sect, he can be considered half one of their own. Moreover, this is also Gu Yuanqing's first time to come to the Huanling Realm. Before long, Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing arrived, and even Shang Zinyin, who was about to succeed the position of sect leader, showed up to greet them. She was very different from what Gu Yuanqing had seen her before. The few times he had seen her before, she always looked drunk and lazy, but now her expression revealed a bit of majesty and sharpness, but there was fatigue in her eyes that could not be concealed. Gu Yuanqing was personally led by Shang Zinyin to the suspended sky palace next to the main peak. This was where the most distinguished guests of the Huanling Sect lived. It is filled with spiritual energy and can be considered a holy place for spiritual practice. There is a sea of ​​bamboos with endless sounds. When the breeze blows, faint heavenly sounds can be heard. Listening to them will make you feel happy, and your understanding of the Tao will become more acute. There is a Qingyu Pavilion hidden in the clouds, which seems to be able to transform into the scenery of the sea and the starry sky as one wishes. The Huanling Sect is famous throughout the world for its method of transforming reality into illusion, and this can be seen from this scene alone. Everything Gu Yuanqing saw along the way was magnificent, and even gave people a sense of unreality, as if it was not the human world but a fairyland. Shang Ziyin sat with Gu Yuanqing in the living room for a while, then said, "Brother, please take a rest here. Ziyin still has some things to deal with, so I won't stay with you for long." "Master Shang, please do as you please!" Shang Ziyin stood up and said goodbye. Yi Yunbo sat with Gu Yuanqing for a while, then took his leave, leaving behind a ninth-level disciple and some servants to accompany him. The courtyard is also filled with top-quality spiritual fruits, and the water used is also spiritual water. Although it is not as good as the spring water in Beiquan Cave, it can be seen that the Huanling Sect has an extraordinary foundation. Gu Yuanqing stood on the attic, looking at the sea of ​​clouds outside, thinking to himself: "I have always felt vaguely that I was being spied on. I thought it was the Huanling Sect using the Realm Order to check the Realm, but after entering the Huanling Sect's residence, this feeling suddenly disappeared. In this case, it is very likely not the Huanling Sect who did it, so who was it?" "Could it be the Sky Monitoring Mirror?" Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, and he immediately thought of what Lu Zeyu had said. This possibility is quite high. If someone looks directly at him, even if it is just a clone at the moment, it is impossible for him to be unaware of it even if he is a Yin-Yang cultivator. "If that's the case, this treasure is truly extraordinary!" Gu Yuanqing was on guard. It didn't feel good to be spied on. He thought for a long time, and then his eyes fell into the distance. He could see all kinds of escaping lights and flying swords. It could be said that people were coming and going, and masters were like clouds. The enthronement ceremony of the leader of the Huanling Sect was attended by countless sects and realms. However, there are only a few who can live in the Suspended Sky Palace, and only the top sects have this privilege. Being in someone else's sect, Gu Yuanqing didn't want to inquire too much. After looking for a while, he focused his mind on comprehending the great way of the fantasy spirit world.

He came here a few days in advance with this idea in mind. With careful sensing, one can find that the avenue of the Fantasy Spirit Realm is much more perfect than the avenues of the several Linglong Realms that one has walked through before, and is even better than the current Qianyuan Realm. He carefully comprehended the subtle differences of the great Dao and kept them all in his heart. These insights would become nourishment for his practice after he returned to his original state. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, the previous Gu Yuanqing was like being in the Beiquan Cave Heaven, relying on the blessing of Guanshan to see all kinds of avenues. And this is the time to travel thousands of miles and experience the differences between different worlds. Although the Tao is ever-present and everything is a manifestation of the Tao, the Tao in a stable world is introverted and difficult to observe. But if we compare the two, we will find differences and there will be clues to follow. Therefore, when monks reach a certain level, they will travel outside, one to refine their minds, and the other to go to strange places. The great principles of these places will appear unique, and the mind can be comprehended. Even though Gu Yuanqing had a higher starting point than ordinary cultivators because of his enlightenment through mountain viewing, this method still had many benefits for him. In the afternoon, another elder from the Huanling Sect came to visit and said that if there was anything he needed, he should not hesitate. Gu Yuanqing did not hold back on his cultivation and treated the elder with courtesy. At night, Yi Yunbo and Qiu Ziqing arrived together, bringing with them fine wine and delicious food. Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Today is really an eye-opener. I'm afraid most of the Linglong world has come here." "I would rather this didn't happen, alas!" Qiu Ziqing sighed. It had not been long since Lu Zeyu died from the heavenly calamity. The more lively it was, the more he thought about this matter. Although life and death are the norm for those who practice cultivation, and every few decades, some immortals will die in thunder disasters, but Lu Zeyu, as the sect master who has led the Huanling Sect for hundreds of years, is still different in everyone's hearts. Halfway through the banquet, Yi Yunbo said, "I didn't expect that the Taikoo Divine Sect would also send a true disciple to participate this time." "The Ancient Divine Sect?" Gu Yuanqing was extremely sensitive to this name. Qiu Ziqing said, "Yes, the Ancient Divine Sect. It's strange to say that although our Huanling Sect ranks second in Linglong Realm, we have sent invitations to the previous sect master's enthronement ceremony, but we have rarely seen them send anyone to come. Or, it is said that people from the Ancient Realm rarely go out of the realm. There may not be one person who goes out of the realm in hundreds of years. In the Ancient Realm, we can basically only see them on the Ancient Realm Stage." Gu Yuanqing asked: "Who is coming?" “Guan Dongchen ranks sixth among the true disciples of the Taikoo Divine Sect, but he is different from the true disciples of my Huanling Sect. It is said that he is also a great cultivator who has experienced the three heavenly tribulations, but he has practiced only a few hundred years more than me.” Yi Yunbo shook his head with a wry smile. They are both true disciples, but the gap between the two is too big. Qiu Ziqing glanced at his disciple and said with a smile: "Aren't you just asking for trouble by comparing yourself with the Taikoo Divine Sect?" The larger the sect, the more one knows the difference between the Ancient Divine Sect. Yi Yunbo put away his emotion and said with a smile: "Master is right. Besides, if the true teachings of the Taikoo Divine Sect are compared with Brother Gu, they are far inferior. When they heard that Brother Gu achieved Yin and Yang in just over a hundred years, perhaps their feelings were not much different from mine at this moment." Gu Yuanqing smiled dumbly: "I am just a little luckier." Qiu Ziqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Dao, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not." "Fellow Taoist, please speak." "If there is anything wrong, please don't blame me." Gu Yuanqing laughed: "Elder Qiu, please stop hesitating and just say what you want to say. We have known each other for a hundred years. I was grateful for your help in the beginning. At the Wuliang River, you and your disciple helped me a lot." Qiu Ziqing said, "Then I'll be frank. I heard that you rejected the good intentions of the Ancient Divine Sect twice. Of course, I'm not saying that the Ancient Divine Sect will do anything because of this, but after all, it has rejected the face of the Son of the Ancient Divine Sect. As the saying goes, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Ancient Divine Sect is different from ordinary sects. It's better for you to be cautious when you interact with them."

Yi Yunbo also said: "Yes, Brother Dao, my master is right. We should be more cautious when dealing with the Taikoo Divine Sect. As the number one sect in Linglong Realm, they have always acted in a domineering manner. There are rumors that Lingyuan Realm was offended..." "Ahem! Yunbo, don't talk nonsense about such unfounded things." Qiu Ziqing coughed and stopped Yi Yunbo from speaking any further. Yi Yunbo's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed as if to cover up, "I said something wrong, I said something wrong, this happened tens of thousands of years ago, and it was just hearsay, Brother Gu, don't take it to heart." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said nothing, but he felt a slight chill in his heart. He had also heard of the Lingyuan Realm. Tens of thousands of years ago, this realm was ranked second to the Linglong Realm, which is now the position of the Huanling Sect. But suddenly, such a powerful force fell apart, all the masters died, and even the entire realm turned into a wasteland. Even the world seemed to be on the verge of decline. No one knows what exactly happened, but if you think about it carefully, in Linglong Realm, only the Taikoo Divine Sect can do this! At this moment, Gu Yuanqing became even more wary of the Taikoo Divine Sect. This is an easy comparison. The Fantasy Spirit Realm has an equal status to the original Lingyuan Realm. But if it were him, even if his real body held the Seal of Mountains and borrowed the power of Beiquan Cave Heaven, he would not be able to destroy the Fantasy Spirit Realm now! Qiu Ziqing smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I'm sure that Fellow Daoist Gu understands what Qiu meant." Gu Yuanqing bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist." After that, we never talked about such things again, only about love and romance. When the moon reached the zenith, the two of them left. In a blink of an eye, three days had passed and the enthronement ceremony was approaching. In front of the main hall of the Huanling Sect, a high platform has been set up, with the ancestral tablet and incense table displayed. Early in the morning, Gu Yuanqing was led by the disciples of the Huanling Sect to the guest seats in the square. Although Qianyuan Realm was a small realm that had just been promoted, as a great Yin-Yang cultivator, he sat in the first seat on the right, and his eyes quickly fell on the young man in the first seat on the right. One glance was enough to tell that this person was a cultivator from the Taikoo Divine Sect, because Zhu Qingyu from the Sanyang Sect was sitting below him. Moreover, although his aura is restrained, one can faintly feel that the powerful force contained in his body far exceeds the ordinary three catastrophes of the Linglong Realm. After noticing Gu Yuanqing's gaze, this person did not avoid it. Instead, he looked at Gu Yuanqing. His smile was lazy, but one could also see the confidence and arrogance hidden in it. At this time, the ceremony had not yet begun. He casually bowed and said, "You must be Brother Gu Yuanqing, I am Guan Dongchen, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" (End of this chapter)
