Tao and Heaven

Chapter 233 Gu Wen, Jade Purity Celestial Lord

If this is Senior Dao Zong, then who is Gu Wen?

In an instant, Xie Yunnan sobered up.

She wanted to open the paper crane eagerly, but was stopped by the restraints on it. A ray of red light flashed, and the paper crane immediately became as solid as iron.

"By the way, Master has taught me the secret order of Dao Zong!"

Xie Yunnan suddenly realized what was going on. He pinched his fingers together, uttered some mantra, and muttered silently for a moment before pointing at the paper crane.

Ong!
A ray of green light was injected into it, and the paper crane trembled slightly, then it unfolded on its own and turned into a letter.

Xie Yunnan picked up the letter and read it. He quickly scanned it and confirmed three times in a row that it was indeed a letter from Dao Zong.

The name of this Daoist senior was not Gu Wen, but Chi Yuzi! The Chi Tianzun who always maintained a nine-zhang golden man, once defended an eight thousand li battle line alone, and killed the demons with fear.

He is also one of the monks most respected by Xie Yunnan.

Fighting is an extremely exhausting thing. A life-and-death fight may take several months or even years to recuperate. But Chi Tianzun always maintains his magical powers. The nine-foot golden man is known as the world's best fighting magical power.

In close combat, no one can defeat the Golden Light Spell.

If Xie Yunnan knew a month ago that the Dao Zong senior he was working with was Chi Yuzi, he would be very happy.

Now it's very frightening.

"It's over, it's over, it's all messed up..."

Xie Yunnan looked a little pale.

Her identity and plan were undoubtedly exposed, and the evil cultivators would hide deeper. The sects in various places were on guard, and even if there was a problem, they would not be allowed to find it out.

If you want to convict your own people, you must have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, even if you are the Immortal Qingcang, you can't kill people at will.

It’s not that we lack the ability, but that people are suspicious.

Besides, she is not the Immortal Qingcang!

After an incense stick of time, Xie Yunnan sat in the chair and gradually calmed down.

She decided to contact Zhejianshan and tell her master the truth. Now that things have gone wrong, she cannot afford to suffer losses due to information leaks.

Knowing the dangers but not reporting them is a foolish act. The operation might fail, but at least they have no losses at the moment. If they continue, they will be counterattacked by the evil cultivators, which will be a real problem.

He took out a sword order and placed it on the ground, using it as an important part, and used the spirit sword to draw a simple formation on the ground.

As pieces of high-quality spirit stones were crushed, the sword rose into the air, emitting a dazzling light, and then the light pierced through the void.

Xie Yunnan waited for a moment, and then a cold voice came.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, I messed up everything. I am responsible for everything."

Xie Yunnan knelt down on his knees without making any excuses for himself.

"You are punished for dereliction of duty, but the Tianxuan Conference has just ended, and Chiyuzi should not have arrived at Taiyi City yet. Why did he fail?"

Xiao Yunyi, who was thousands of miles away, was very confused. This operation was extremely secretive. Apart from Xie Yunan, no more than a handful of people knew about it. Zhejianshan's own master and apprentice, Dao Zong Shangqing Taiqing's two Tianzun, and Chiyuzi.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for outsiders to notice it. Even if there are methods of divination, it is unlikely to reveal the surveillance.

Xie Yunan replied, "While I was in Liangjie City, I met a senior who looked like a Daoist. After that, I arrived in Taiyi City, and this person took action to resolve the evil cultivator riot."

She explained the whole cause and effect, including how Gu Wen was able to break free from the restraints placed on him by Xiao Yunyi and passed the identity authentication token and letter.

Then Gu Wen passed all the tests and demonstrated his unparalleled strength. Only then did Xie Yunnan begin to reveal her identity and purpose.

Xiao Yunyi comforted him, "This person is probably a semi-immortal, or even a true immortal. You don't have to blame yourself. But since he didn't hurt you, it must be a spur of the moment thing. Wait until Chi Tianzun arrives and then make a long-term plan."

"Follow master."

"By the way, what's that person's name?"

"My Taoist name is Hongchen, my surname is Gu and my name is Wen." Xie Yunnan answered without thinking, and then the other side suddenly fell silent and there was no response for a long time.

She said to herself, "He has a very strange temperament. He knows nothing about many things. He makes a lot of noise even when he is on a fairy boat. He wants to look at everything when he walks on the street. He is also very talkative and can chat with anyone. Well, this senior is very approachable. He should not be a bad person."

"Gu Wen."

The cold voice had a hint of dryness, losing its former efficiency.

"Disciple, what does he look like?"

"Zhou Zheng, not particularly good-looking, but very natural and pleasing to the eye, making people unable to help but take a second look."

Xie Yunnan recalled the days she spent with Gu Wen. She found that even though she realized that the other party was not a senior from Dao Sect, she did not feel frightened.

He has only a regular and ordinary face, but he always has a smile on his face, giving people a warm and refreshing feeling.

He was different from all the mighty ones he had ever seen.

"Where is he now? Can you find him?"

"I couldn't find it yesterday. Maybe it's still in Taiyi City."

"Go find it, go find it quickly! No, there is no need to go find it specially, wait for Chi Tianzun to arrive. By the way, don't tell her about this matter for now, if it's a fake, something bad will definitely happen."

Is Chi Tianzun also related to that senior?

Xie Yunan became even more curious and asked, "Is Chi Tianzun very close to her?"

"She was originally the heir of the Yu Jian Sect, but now she stays in the Yu Qing Sect."

"Hiss, isn't it?"

Xiao Yunyi heard the hidden meaning of his disciple's words and said with a smile: "Are you also thinking about love? The Yu Jian Sect is abstinent, with no distracting thoughts in the mind, and the heart and sword are connected to the saint. If you really had that kind of thought, you wouldn't have come this far."

Xie Yunan scratched his head and said, "My disciple has little experience, so naturally I think of love matters."

"Sensual love will decay. If it is not sublimated, it will only lead to a strange path. Your teacher does not forbid you to talk about love, but you must know that the person who can truly walk with you for thousands of years should not be determined by status or gender."

"I have devoted my whole heart to sword training and have never had any feelings. Even if I have, they are just the demons in my heart, and I will kill them without hesitation."

Xie Yunan replied firmly, and then asked curiously: "So what is the relationship between Chi Tianzun and that senior? Why can't I tell her?"

"I can trust him with my life and death, and I can entrust him to the great Dao, but he should have died eight hundred years ago. She hasn't shown her true face to anyone for eight hundred years. If her mood is disturbed again, she might be shattered at the slightest touch."

Xiao Yunyi's voice had a hint of desolation in it. Along the way, his best friend Jun Yan's soul was divided into millions and fell into the calamity of the Gu demon, his good friend Chi Yuzi was left with only one soul, and the peerless person he longed for was imprisoned at the bottom of a well.

They were once the chosen ones of heaven admired by the world, and now they are the almighty gods who rule the world, but who knew the thorns and hardships they had encountered along the way.

When cultivating the mind and character, one wrong step will lead to eternal damnation. Just like drinking water, one knows whether it is hot or cold.

"The strongest and most powerful golden body in the world is just a heart of glass."

After saying that, the telepathic communication was cut off. Xie Yunnan frowned and thought for a moment but couldn't figure out the reason.

She could tell there were many stories involved, but the master obviously didn't want to recall them or talk about them with her.

Xie Yunan could understand this. There were many things that didn't need to be said. For example, he couldn't tell Chi Tianzun Gu Wen's name, for fear of causing him to be unstable. The master had already explained this very important thing.

But she was still curious!

What is the relationship between Douzhan Tianzun, who can travel across eight thousand miles, and that senior, and what is the story between him and his master?

It was the first time she saw her master so anxious.

Xie Yunnan walked out of the room and began to look for Gu Wen. After asking around in Taiyi City many times, she could not find Gu Wen.
-
Zhejian Mountain, thousands of peaks are sharpened and tens of thousands of swords are spread out.

There is a sword pond on the top of the mountain. The sword pond is 998,000 feet long from north to south and 665,000 feet wide from east to west.

The spiritual swords were spread out like dragon scales and inserted into the sword pool, the Taoist swords flew across the sky like flying cranes, and an immortal sword stood in the center to control the universe.

The Sword Master, with his upper body naked, sat cross-legged in front of the immortal sword. His muscles were as white as jade and his skin was as white as snow. His fair body was covered with scars in a crisscross pattern, and his empty left arm added a sense of fragmentation.

The immortal sword rang, setting off a tsunami of spiritual swords that swept in all directions.

"He's back?" "If even you're not sure, how can I be sure? I hope it's true."

Xiao Yunyi shook his head, and moved his body slightly. Then endless true fire gushed out of his mouth, and countless clouds of mist suddenly rose from the sword pool.

The Sword Sect's True Lord who was guarding this place flew over, but was then driven away by Xiao Yunyi.

He sighed and said, "After this big red chicken became the demon ancestor, its Angri True Fire is even more powerful than before."

The Immortal Sword said: "After another hundred years, you will be able to further improve your cultivation after refining it."

"A hundred years is not long, but Chiyuzi's life span is not long. Now relying on various longevity pills, I don't know how long he can last. If he doesn't break through to the semi-immortal before then, I'm afraid he will die now."

Xiao Yunyi lowered his eyes, feeling unwilling but powerless.

How could he help with a problem that even the immortal Qingcang couldn't solve?

Xianjian said firmly: "There is another way, let her enter the immortal land. If Gu Wen really dies, maybe she can cultivate a supreme Tao heart."

"What if the person in Taiyi City is really Gu Wen?"

Xiao Yunyi dipped a little water drop on his finger and blew gently. The water drop turned into a rainbow light and flew out of Zhejian Mountain and flew towards the direction of Sanqing Taoist Sect.

Xianjian said: "You can set up a trap to trick her."

Xiao Yunyi looked thoughtful, and then his neck suddenly felt slightly cold. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, even if Brother Gu didn't die, she would have twisted my head off."

Don't think that Akabane is very well-behaved now, and always squats in a corner to shut himself up during meetings. But he was not like this back then, and his nature was like that of a fierce tiger, and he would never let go of any slight.

Back then, only Gu Wen stroked her hair, but it was understandable that he was the only one who lent a helping hand when she was in dire straits.

Maybe it was arranged by the goddess, but no matter what, it was Gu Wen who did it, so the cause and effect will naturally fall on him.

The flying sword went away and came back again. Dao Zong was not aware of this and was not in a position to disclose it.

But the fact that Dao Zong did not investigate immediately was enough to explain the problem, and the fact that Dao Zong was able to reply to him was also a hint.

There is a high probability that it really came out.

Xiao Yunyi's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, which was as cold as an iceberg.

"It'll be nice to come back."

He slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that this world had some color, and he had some expectations for the future.

Back then, the Immortal Realm couldn't suppress you. Now that Gu Wen is eight hundred years late, he has become a Heavenly Lord. Having left the Immortal Realm where only the talented are superior, it's time to let him know what "Heavenly Lords cannot be insulted" means! -
In Liuyun Sect, green mountains are hidden in clouds and mist, and palaces are like forests.

Gu Wen was lying on a pile of bamboo slips, flipping through the life experience of a great master. His eyes and thoughts naturally fell on the little glass figure in the Qi Sea.

The little Taoist priest grew a third hair, named 'Dan', which was six feet long, and nine feet was the longest.

Alchemists are divided into four levels: apprentice, master, patriarch and master. Now Gu Wen is already a master of theoretical alchemy.

"For those who practice alchemy, gold is the sage. Gold is indestructible and therefore is a treasure of all things."

Lan Yongning stood with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth, explaining alchemy in a calm, even voice that made people feel sleepy.

Although Gu Wen's realm is far different from his, Gu Wen knows nothing about alchemy and pharmacology, so he can naturally serve as Gu Wen's mentor temporarily.

"Treasures are extremely valuable, but immortal lands are common, so countless people are trying their best to get in."

So the treasure is the Heavenly Marrow?
Gu Wen's mind moved, and he touched the jade pendant with his fingers. A white light flashed, and a magical medicine came into his hands.

This is a magical medicine produced by the heirloom cave under the influence of its own laws, and it is something Lan Yongning has never seen before.

Put it in your mouth and chew it. Now there is no hint of your fate, but you can still calculate the geometry of your celestial marrow.

Three years of Tiansui.

Gu Wen took out another spiritual fruit, threw it to Lan Yongning, and asked, "Is this a treasure?"

"Brother Gu didn't forget to bring local specialties when he came out."

Lan Yongning joked, then rubbed it carefully.

"This does contain a myriad of treasures, but it's even rarer than the ones in the Immortal Realm. If the quantity is large, perhaps it can be used to refine the Spiritual Essence Pill. How much do you have, Brother Gu?"

Gu Wen raised five fingers. Lan Yongning frowned and said, "Only five plants? This is difficult. We still have to find the alchemy furnace."

"Five hundred kilograms."

Looking inside the heirloom cave, Mao Tuan was diligently using his mind to control the hoe, constantly picking spiritual herbs, spiritual grains, and spiritual fruits, and then digging a hole and burying it with "white cloud".

The ground of the Heirloom Cave was originally covered with white clouds, which were also a kind of innate treasure that could preserve some kind of elixir. This preservation was not permanent, but once it expired, it would not rot, but would be decomposed by the white clouds into a kind of peculiar innate gas.

This kind of energy is the foundation for the creation of elixirs.

Nowadays, small hills with white clouds can be seen everywhere in the Heirloom Cave.

Gu Wen felt that the cat might not know how much it had buried, and it just wanted to find a place to hide. Sometimes when there was not enough space, it would pile another ball on top of the white cloud, and it would gradually become the shape of feces.

It's like a cat pooping.

In a sense, it coincides with the current cultivation world, the earth veins, the spirit veins, and the spirits hidden in heaven and earth.

Most of the spiritual energy is hidden under the thick soil, and the spiritual veins are only one ten-thousandth of its tributaries.
-
Taiyi City.

Xie Yunnan has been looking for Gu Wen, but can't find any trace of him.

She remembered that Gu Wen and Wen Zun had sat together a few days ago, so she turned around and found the City Lord's Mansion, and even met the Taiyi City Lord, but still could not find out any information.

Gu Wen seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Xie Yunan knew that the Lord of Taiyi City also knew some secrets, but they did not belong to the same faction. The other party was a subordinate of Liuyun Sect, belonging to the Taoist sect, while she was a descendant of the military sect.

No matter how close the relationship between Zhejian Mountain and Sanqing Taoist Sect is, they are still two different sects.

In the end, Xie Yunan could only see the words "Gu Wen" on the 500th place on the Tianxuan Conference list. Then he recalled an old friend that Gu Wen mentioned when he was looking at the list.

The list of the Tianxuan Conference 800 years ago, No. 500 [Yu Hua]

The list of the Tianxuan Conference 800 years later, No. 500 [Gu Wen]

Xie Yunnan printed the shadow of the list from eight hundred years ago on the current list, and the two names overlapped.

She came up with a half-right answer.

"This senior should be very close to this person named Yu Hua."

Xie Yunnan followed this clue and used his connections to make inquiries from various sources. He finally contacted a true disciple of the Yuqing Sect who was in charge of recruiting disciples. The disciple happened to be passing by Taiyi City.

The two met under the guidance of others, and Xie Yunan asked: "Do you know a senior named Yu Hua who participated in the Tianxuan Conference eight hundred years ago?"

Yuqing Sect's direct disciple You Yi's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Where did you hear this, Brother Xie?"

"I heard a few words from the elders of the sect, and I was curious so I wanted to find out. If you can tell me something, Yu Nan will be very grateful."

Xie Yunnan pleaded very sincerely. Faced with the request from the greatest beauty of the time, the young Taoist priest felt a little agitated for a moment.

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. Yu Hua was the Taoist name of the Heavenly Maiden of our Taoist sect eight hundred years ago. It seemed to have caused a big disturbance back then, causing the older generation to not want to mention it."

"The Taoist goddess, this title is really great."

Xie Yunan's eyes widened slightly, and she became even more curious. She wanted to ask about Gu Wen, but she could only swallow her words when she thought of her master's instructions.

You Yi continued, "My Yuqing Sect has not had a Heavenly Venerable for thousands of years. There have been several elders who could take over, but none of them have received the approval of Grandmaster Qingcang. One day, my master got drunk and said that the Yuqing position had already been taken, but it had never appeared in the Sanqing Dao Sect."

"Ah? Could it be that goddess?"

"No, but the relationship between Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable and the Heavenly Maiden should be special. It is said that the power of Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable was fully exercised by this Heavenly Maiden, who also created a Feihong Order. Now my Jade Purity Sect has to contact various shipping sects every ten years, running around for a token that has never been used."

Is it
An idea popped up in Xie Yunan's mind.

Perhaps she knew the identity of this senior.

The most mysterious celestial being of the human race, one of the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Pure One.
