Tao and Heaven

Chapter 123 Heirloom Innate Divine Beast

"How am I dangerous?"

Gu Wen asked back, the current situation is indeed not very good, it is estimated that Tianquan Mountain is surrounded by countless powerful people inside and outside.

And since they dared to do this, they must have made sufficient preparations, and at least they could pose a threat to Yu Hua.

But he didn't tell anyone else how Jun Yan knew that.

"I will not repeat the details about the immortality elixir and Immortal Qingcang. Do you know how many sects in the world don't want to see you find the immortality elixir?"

Jun Yan did not wait for Gu Wen to answer, and answered himself: "Everyone, including the sects behind everyone present, do not want Immortal Qingcang to return."

Gu Wen asked, "Is it also the case with Yu Jian Men and Zhe Jian Shan?"

The Sanqing Taoist Sect and the Yu Jian Sect should have a good relationship, as can be seen from the fact that Chi Yuzi's guardian came to help Ao Tang, but perhaps this is just a personal relationship.

"The Yu Jian Sect naturally wants the elixir of immortality."

Chi Yuzi came from a distance. Without Xiao Yunyi's answer, she answered for him: "Zhejian Mountain is no exception. All the Heavenly Venerables want the elixir of immortality to become immortals. We are just a successor and cannot represent the sect."

Xiao Yunyi did not deny it. Although this would not be good for the reputation of Zhejian Mountain, what Chiyuzi said was indeed true.

Gu Wen had a better understanding of the situation, but he was not too surprised. A situation where the whole world was his enemy was his initial expectation.

It was just that things had been calm recently, which made him have some illusions. Maybe the situation wasn't that bad. Maybe the Sanqing Dao Sect, as the number one sect in the world, could play a certain deterrent role.

However, the elixir of immortality makes people crazy, and the closer they are to becoming immortal, the more difficult it is to resist.

Even Gu Wen was attracted by the reduction of the upper limit of the Heavenly Marrow by a hundred years, and he wished he could find the elixir of immortality right away. A root as thin as a hair could have such an effect, maybe if he could get a root as thick as a finger, it would be enough to satisfy his need to become an immortal.

Dao Realm Heavenly Masters are the closest to becoming immortals, and they are also the absolute rulers of the sects. It is understandable that all sects target them.

Gu Wen said: "I know all this, but what kind of help are you talking about?"

"We can talk about the reward first, so it will be easier for you to make a judgment."

Jun Yan did not follow Gu Wen's words. There was a shrewd look in his eyes, which made him feel as if he was back in Longqiao facing those big merchants.

Gu Wen asked: "What benefit do you want?"

"First, I need you to strike me once every seven days with that magic sword."

Jun Yan's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, which made Gu Wen couldn't help but take a half step back, and then nodded and said, "Okay."

This wasn't an excessive request, as it only required some mana to obtain a powerful helper. However, Jun Yan's flushed cheeks and excited eyes gave people some bad guesses.

Jun Yan should not have a masochistic tendency. This is all to suppress the demons in his body.

"Secondly, I need you to enter my body in the form of a spirit and help me kill some big demons."

Jun Yan made a second request. Before Gu Wen could answer, Chi Yuzi interrupted and said, "Don't agree to him. Entering his body as a spirit is no different from swimming in a toilet."

"Akabane, if you don't speak, no one will think you are a dead nun."

"I can also chop you down like the Jade Sword Buddha."

At this time, Gu Wen made a decision. He shook his head and said, "The risk is too great."

Jun Yan did not show any emotion because of the rejection. He said as if he had expected it, "It is not mandatory. If you feel that I have played a big role and you are grateful to me, you can do it later."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

Gu Wen did not agree either. He felt that Jun Yan was too cunning and might be difficult to control.

Jun Yan smiled and said, "The best help deserves the most expensive price. If you can afford this price, I will treat you as my half-brother."

"But I don't like being a younger brother."

"The strong are brothers, and that's just a description."

Gu Wen only thought about it for a moment, and agreed without too much hesitation, nodding and saying, "Okay."

He knew that things would not be easy, but just like Gu Wen constantly selling favors, these were bonds with no redemption date. If Gu Wen failed in the future, he would not have to redeem them, but if he became an immortal, it would be easy to redeem them.

Jun Yan ignored the Chi Yuzi who was a little bit angry with him, and said openly: "You don't have to be too wary of me. As long as I still need to be controlled by the old guy in my body, I will always need your true understanding of the way of the sword."

"You lived well without the true knowledge of the way of the sword."

Gu Wen also considered this, but did not believe it completely.

"Okay, tell me how you can help me."

"I can use my divine sense to probe a thousand feet, and even Dao Realm experts cannot detect it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi were stunned, and then they both showed expressions of surprise.

Divine thought detection is a common method used by cultivators. It can be said to be the real eyes of cultivators. Due to its wide application, many countermeasures have also been derived.

For example, the awareness of divine thoughts is one of the basic skills of cultivators, and it is difficult to hide between strong people of the same level. Even the golden elixir finds it difficult to detect the foundation perfectly.

When divine thoughts come out, sometimes it sounds like beating gongs and drums.

On the contrary, if it can be done silently, then the effect can be extremely terrifying if used properly.

A thousand feet away is equivalent to Jun Yan being able to provide information about all the powerful people around him without being discovered. This is simply an all-round enemy radar, and the enemy cannot ambush them.

They can also ambush the opponent in return.

Gu Wen asked, "Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true." Jun Yan pointed to the seventh floor of stairs below and said, "I have never left here, and there are six people on the seventh floor now. One of them just made a breakthrough in swordsmanship and walked up here. You can confirm it and continue to go down and come back to verify it."

Gu Wen made a prompt decision and turned around and walked quickly towards the floor, while Akabane followed behind him. She was also curious whether it was true.
-
The two of them came all the way to the seventh floor, naturally attracting everyone's attention, and Gu Wen also saw a new face.

Nie Fan, ranked thirteenth on the human list, was the first person in Tianquan Mountain to kill someone.

Nie Fan, who looked a little childish, saw Gu Wen and the others, walked towards them quickly, and said with a bow, "Brother Hongchen, Senior Chi. Chiyuzi."

The young man's eyes unconsciously glanced at Akabaneko. The latter was certainly not a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect. She was dressed normally and had neat shoulder-length hair, without much of the feminine beauty.

Instead, she is as aggressive as a little cheetah, but people always admire the strong. Akabane is not ugly, and she is also a proud girl who ranks third on the Earth List.

Akabane glared at her rudely and said, "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll tear your eyes out."

Nie Fan quickly lowered his head.

"Brother Daoist Nie has made any breakthroughs recently?"

Gu Wen asked, and then they had a brief conversation. Then they walked down to the sixth floor, stayed for a while, and walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, where they found two bodies in the corner.

After some inspection, it was found that one of the two was killed by the spirit sword, and the other was killed by others. After further investigation, it was concluded that the two fought, and one of them won and was killed by the spirit sword after being exhausted. As for their respective life-saving magic weapons, they were broken, and no one knew what hatred or grudge had led to such a fight.

"Let's go back."

Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi turned back again, and this trip took about an hour. Jun Yan was unable to judge which floor they had reached by counting the time.

And they did not realize that they were being monitored by divine thoughts from beginning to end.

Back on the eighth floor, Jun Yan told every detail about who they had met, how long they had stayed on each floor, and how they had discovered the two bodies.

"It can actually avoid detection." Akabane opened his mouth slightly, "Is this the effect of the Heavenly Magic?"

Gu Wen was also very surprised and felt like he had found a treasure.

This is simply all-round killing intent perception, a thousand feet away is equivalent to 3.3 kilometers of perspective. And according to the attack distance, the damage decreases, and attacking from three kilometers away is not without damage, but it is no longer a sneak attack.

Half a breath after the attack arrives is enough time to react.

Akabane acts as a shield, Jun Yan provides vision, and if the little nun can be brought in to fight, everything will be complete.

Gu Wen enthusiastically grabbed Jun Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Brother Jun Yan, welcome to join us."

Since they have already decided to recruit people to join, Gu Wen naturally has to tell the two of them the plan so that they can take action after they get out.

"So you plan to go to Nanshui first instead of Huoyun Cave? This is indeed a good idea. We can do the opposite and avoid the ambush of many forces."

After listening to Gu Wen's plan, Jun Yan thought about it and felt that this idea was very good, but not perfect.

"But aren't you worried that the elixir of immortality might be taken away in advance?"

"If they can take it, then they won't be watching us."

Gu Wen knew there was this risk, but there is no such thing as risk-free in the world.

Compared with the risk of being ambushed, the risk of the elixir of immortality being taken away has to be put at a lower level.

"You make the decision. I don't need the elixir of immortality anyway."

Jun Yan no longer raised any objections, and Gu Wen suddenly thought of another question and asked, "What if the sect behind you comes into conflict with us?"

This is a very serious question. In the Heaven Beyond Heaven, there is no concept of a country. There are only sects that rule the vast territory. For most cultivators, a sect is a place that is closer than a family that is bound by blood.

In a family, no matter how big or small, the family will split up, and it may just be a few decades. But in a sect, one has to stay for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Akabane hesitated for a moment, scratched his head and replied: "If I follow you next, the sect will probably give up on me."

"Hmm?" Gu Wen was a little confused, and said, "Not really? Even if you violated the sect's wishes, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Because my sister is the founder of the Yu Jian Sect, all my training is planned. She needs me to practice the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill as a container." Akabane asked back:
"Do you think my guardian has the attitude of a guardian?"

"Like a jailer."

Gu Wen recalled the guardian of Yu Jian Sect. He did not have much resentment towards him and even helped Ao Tang.

But in terms of attitude alone, it was indeed a bit too harsh, not like treating a genius. Especially his attitude towards Chi Yuzi's participation in the genius alliance was different from that of other sect guardians.

That very subtle sense of surveillance.

Akabane clenched his fist and said with a smile: "So you can trust me, because I will definitely twist off the head of the founder of the Yu Jian Sect."

Gu Wen understood. There was a reason why they could get together. Birds of a feather flock together.

The other party was actually similar to himself in the past, being used as nutrients for a certain existence. Akabane was even worse than himself, having been crippled since birth, and now being used as a container.

At this time, Jun Yan said in a normal voice: "I have no father or mother, no sect or school, and no master."

Are there any experts?

Gu Wen looked at Xiao Yunyi inexplicably. The latter held up the broken arm and said, "I am much better than you all. The sect has not been harsh on me, and I don't have any grudges against me."

So he didn't come over, but in fact, he was no different from the others. Gu Wen felt that Xiao Yunyi would come over sooner or later, because this guy was also abnormal.

Others are obsessed with swords, but he is obsessed with swords.

Having one's arm cut off by a fairy sword and not wanting to have it reattached is no different from shaking hands with a goddess for ten years without washing your hands. Perhaps this is the ultimate desire for a sword, and one has already regarded the sword as everything.

Gu Wen returned to the sword pool and simply soaked in the water without coming up.

Xiao Yunyi was still practicing sword skills, Chi Yuzi began to move around in various levels as if he wanted to collect all the spiritual swords, and Jun Yan was also practicing with the help of the sword pool.

Fifteen days passed in a flash, and everyone was busy with their own things without interfering with each other.

【One Hundred and Fifty Years of Imperial Juice】

The heirloom glowed faintly, and a layer of stone on the surface fell off slightly, and dense cracks began to appear.

Gu Wen held it in his hand and rubbed it. The destiny in his Qi sea vibrated slightly, and he obtained a specific value of the Emperor's Liquid.

[Longevity Stone, contains an innate divine beast, supported by the Gu family for generations, progress is 98%]

"What?"

Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, but he recognized the term innate divine beast.

Innate means powerful. To put it simply, it means a creature that is born with supernatural powers. For example, Ao Tang is also a divine beast.

But he didn't expect that the heirloom turned out to be a divine beast, and it seemed that he had found a bargain, with only a little progress left to complete the development.

At this time, a new face came to the Sword Pool. Lan Yongning, wearing a robe, walked up to the eighth floor, came to the edge of the pool, waved to Gu Wen, and shouted:

"Brother Hongchen, please come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Gu Wen stood up from the sword pool, lightly jumped and tapped the water surface a few times, then landed in front of Lan Yongning and congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Brother Xilan, your swordsmanship has improved once again."

"It can't compare to Brother Hongchen's true understanding of the way of the sword."

Lan Yongning shook his head slightly, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hongchen is afraid of a great disaster, and the sect guardian has sent a message to me. Now there are at least ten Mahayana masters outside and at least three Tianzuns in secret. All of them are here for you."

"Who is there?"

"I don't know, but at least our sect's Tianzun is here."

"."

Why are you telling me?
