I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 717 The Path of Immortals, the Power of Creation
On the Bridge of All Laws Returning to Nothingness, all the great paths flow and turn, stirring up a howling wind.

But when all the strong winds reached Gu Yuanqing, they became calm. He said with a hint of amusement, "Help me overcome the Chaotic Immortal Realm?"

Li Lingyun stared at Gu Yuanqing and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't think I'm exaggerating, do you?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly and said, "No, it's just that I survived the Chaos Tribulation less than a hundred years ago, and I'm still far from being immortal."

Li Lingyun said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, why bother to hide it? You hold the Primordial Heavenly Furnace in your hand, which can make a day in a hundred years and a thousand autumns in a day. The Primordial Divine Sect sealed itself off, giving you all the fortune of this exquisite world. Fellow Daoist, you were born with this fortune, so your cultivation and strength will naturally progress by leaps and bounds. You may not even have to wait for the hundred-year period to arrive before you break through to the Undying Chaos Realm."

"You seem to know me quite well." Gu Yuanqing chuckled. He was already aware of the misunderstandings people had about him, but there was no need to explain them; on the contrary, they were the best cover for him.

Li Lingyun said, "How many secrets can be kept hidden in the Linglong Realm? As for the transaction, fellow Daoist, there's no rush to refuse. You might as well consider it more. Moreover, if you can rescue my true self, I can also give you a great opportunity!"

"Let's talk about it later!" Gu Yuanqing said calmly, seemingly uninterested in the so-called great opportunity.

Li Lingyun nodded slightly: "In that case, I will take my leave today. I will visit you again in thirty years. If you have made up your mind, you may crush this talisman, and I will know."

As the words fell, a jade talisman broke through the raging wind and steadily passed through the Bridge of Myriad Laws Returning to Nothingness.

Gu Yuanqing reached out and took it, then tossed it into his Qiankun bag.

Li Lingyun's figure then disappeared, leaving only a mirror image in place. The mirror image then shattered into streams of light and dissipated into the air.

"The power of the Celestial Mirror!"

Gu Yuanqing recognized him at a glance, thinking to himself, "No wonder he dared to show himself in the world and make so many moves right under Mu Tianheng's nose. The power of the Heavenly Mirror can monitor all realms and also conceal one's aura. This Li Lingyun cultivates the Heavenly Law Bell, the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram, and the Heavenly Mirror simultaneously, and his mastery of all three is extremely high. In the Linglong Realm, his talent can truly be called a prodigy. His resentment towards the current Ancient Divine Sect is so great that something must have happened back then."

Gu Yuanqing didn't think about it any further; to him, Li Lingyun was just an insignificant person.

Not to mention that he has already survived the tribulation of the Chaotic Heaven and is no longer needed for cooperation, even if he had not survived it, how could he trust Li Lingyun?

As for the opportunity he mentioned, Gu Yuanqing was even less interested. Therefore, this deal was destined to have a bad outcome from the very beginning.

The only takeaway from this meeting was perhaps the confirmation of my initial suspicions.

Return to the summit of the sacred mountain.

Gu Yuanqing looked up at the Taixu Creation Wheel. Now that his clone had entered, should he try to do something?

Now that this power is in my hands, I naturally don't want to let it go to waste. I used to have many concerns, but after becoming the Undying Chaos, some of the dangerous factors have been eliminated.

And this can be considered as preparation for the future!
His gaze moved down and landed on the nine jade pillars, which were covered with the "Words of Creation".

This is precisely the cultivation method for sensing the power of the Tai Xu Creation Wheel, and at the same time, it is also a method that is in line with the cultivation method in the Myriad Paths Returning to Flow Talisman.

In fact, Gu Yuanqing had already studied these proverbs and was very familiar with the methods of cultivation contained within them.

"Then let's give it a try. Although the power of the rule artifacts is not very useful in the cultivation world, it is an absolute supreme power in this Linglong Realm. It may be helpful in dealing with the experts of the Ancient Divine Sect in the future! Even if there are any problems, the power of Beiquan Cave Heaven at this time is enough to suppress them."

With this thought in mind, he sat cross-legged in the center of the altar and began to circulate the cultivation technique on the jade pillar in his mind.

Strands of divine thought intertwined in his sea of ​​consciousness, outlining a complex rune mark. This was the Primordial Yuan Rune, the seed rune of the Dao of Creation, the foundation for cultivating the Dao of Creation. Ordinary Yin-Yang Longevity cultivators would need to spend countless years to draw this rune, but for Gu Yuanqing, it was only a moment.

After all, his cultivation level was already at the level of the Undying Chaos Realm, which was incomparable to the Yin-Yang level. Secondly, this talisman was originally a talisman from the Myriad Paths Returning to the Flow Talisman.

This place is where the power of the Primordial Creation Wheel is reflected. Only the Dao of Creation shrouds this world, while almost all other Great Daos are suppressed, making it particularly easy to sense the Primordial Creation Wheel.

Therefore, as soon as the rune was drawn, it immediately resonated with the Dao of Creation of the Exquisite Realm.

Strands of power descended from the phantom of the Taixu Creation Wheel, entering Gu Yuanqing's body and rapidly condensing around the Taichu Yuan Talisman as its core, with lines continuously extending from the original seed talisman.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and a brand new rune mark was born in Gu Yuanqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

This also marks Gu Yuanqing's initial mastery of the power of the Taixu Creation Wheel!

The mastery of the rule artifact is divided into nine levels, and now, Gu Yuanqing has stood on the first level.

Gu Yuanqing did not continue. A spatial rift appeared, and this clone immediately disappeared into the Dao Source Forbidden Land.

Upon returning to the forbidden area, the clone did not merge with the main body, but instead sat facing the main body, and then used the Mountain Observation Technique to carefully examine the newly born talisman.

This talisman is extremely complex and exquisite, with every line imbued with the essence of the Great Dao.

If this were a cultivator from the Linglong Realm, this rune would be the prototype of a Dao Law Imprint. Through this rune, they could borrow the power of the rule artifacts, and it would also be the foundation for all their future cultivation.

However, it was different in front of Gu Yuanqing at this moment. This rune was simply the hub for him to manipulate the power of the rule artifact, just like a divine power seed rune!
And this is something only someone who has achieved the Undying Chaos can do. All the Dao imprints on his body are completely in harmony with his life force, so that the power of the rule artifact will not overshadow the composition of his own Great Dao!

Gu Yuanqing carefully sensed the power of the rune and analyzed everything within it.

Gu Yuanqing had always been extremely curious about the power of the rule artifact, but dared not touch it for fear that there might be a trap inside. Now he finally had the opportunity.

Indeed, the Great Dao of the Linglong Realm is not as good as that of the Cultivation Realm, but this does not mean that the power of the rule artifacts is flawed. Rather, one is born naturally from the changes of heaven, earth, nature, and all things over time, while the other is only derived from the power of the artifacts.

All the rules of the Linglong Realm bear the marks of human intervention.

In Gu Yuanqing's view, the artifact of rules might have been forged by a powerful being in the past.

This world was also created by the Great Power.

To some extent, the power of a rule-based artifact is like the Dao imprint within a cultivator's celestial world!
However, their levels of power are completely incomparable.

In this way, it naturally cannot be compared with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! However, the Great Dao leads to the same goal through different paths, and there are many things we can learn from it.

The way of creation is vast and profound. If one can gain even a little from it, it may bring many benefits in future cultivation.

Moreover, the evolution of the world of heaven and man is inevitably guided by the principles of creation.

As cultivators' cultivation levels gradually improve, reaching the level of Gu Yuan, the Celestial World is essentially a complete space, much like a small world.

However, compared to a true small world, it still lacks one very important thing.

That is the true breath of life!

And this is the way of creation.

Previously, Gu Yuanqing did not have a deep understanding of the paths to immortality; his knowledge was limited to the realm of the Undying Chaos.

However, things are different now. He has taken control of the Qingping Dao Palace, entered the library, and gained insights into cultivation from many of the Qingping Dao Palace's cultivators.

This not only helped him deduce his own cultivation techniques, but also gave him a more detailed understanding of his future cultivation direction.

The Way of Creation is the most important prerequisite for transcending the mortal and immortal realms!
Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Gu Yuanqing wanted to touch the Taixu Creation Wheel even when his strength was rapidly improving.

Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged for three days, constantly observing and trying to gain a deeper understanding and analysis of the rune using the methods of observing mountains and controlling objects. At the same time, he also tried to suppress its power with the Beiquan Zhenshi Seal, in order to prevent uncontrollable risks.

After all, the Linglong Realm is inherently fraught with risks. The warning from his Dao Heart and the pair of eyes he saw in Ye Xuanxiao's mind still haunt him.

Fortunately, everything is still under control.

This rune does not seem to contain any traps, and the power of Beiquan Mountain can completely suppress it and sever the connection between this rune and the Taixu Creation Wheel.

With everything clear, Gu Yuanqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. If he discovered anything amiss, he would have no choice but to nip it in the bud and keep his distance from the power of the rule artifacts in the future.

"It seems that we can try to continue cultivating this power through supernatural abilities, but at the same time, we must not be careless and eliminate risks at every step!"

Then, with a thought, this clone transformed into a drop of blood and returned to its original form.

However, this rune, which came from the power of the Taixu Creation Wheel, did not arrive in Gu Yuanqing's true sea of ​​consciousness or the world of heaven and man.

Instead, it was the combined force of numerous particles that created a small-scale Zhou Tian Xing Dou array, sealing it within an insignificant acupoint on his palm. This could be considered his final isolation from this power.

After he finished all this, he turned his gaze to the Qingping Dao Palace.

Over the years, he had ignored the Heavenly Demon Sword Master, as if he had forgotten about him, until now, when he finally decided to put an end to this matter.

With a thought, a strand of hair fell off and transformed into a clone, disappearing into the void.

Among the floating islands.

Beside a small river, Qiu Weifeng, whose hair was now completely white, sat on a bamboo stool, holding a fishing rod, leisurely fishing.

The pretty Feng Jiu Niang stood quietly behind him.

All of this appears to be a leisurely scene of an old man fishing by the river.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly appeared on the riverbank and chuckled, "How many did you catch?"

Qiu Weifeng turned his head and glanced at it, then laughed and said, "Eight or nine, just enough to fry a plate."

"You seem quite relaxed." Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the fishing hook. He could sense that all of Qiu Weifeng's power was sealed within his body, and he was fishing in the manner of an ordinary person without relying on any supernatural abilities of a cultivator.

Of course, this is normal. If it really involved the power of a cultivator, then fishing would lose its flavor.

Qiu Weifeng smiled casually and said, "Anyway, there's nothing to do here, so I'll just kill some time. I don't care how much I catch. Back when I was young, I focused all my attention on cultivation. Since then, I haven't dared to linger for even a moment. I've never experienced a life like this before, so it's quite unique."

Gu Yuanqing turned to look at Qiu Weifeng and said, "Are you really content with this life, the dignified leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

After Gu Yuanqing arrived, Feng Jiuniang was slightly excited. After all, she had lived here for twenty years and had never seen Gu Yuanqing again. She could only watch helplessly as Qiu Weifeng's lifespan passed and he gradually grew old.

She had been keeping her composure, but upon hearing this, her eyes lit up.

Qiu Weifeng's gaze returned to the floating bobber on the water, and he said, "Life is just like this. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. You can't force things."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your state of mind has changed quite a bit, and you have a more otherworldly air about you. If I told people that this was the former Heavenly Demon Sword Master, I'm afraid no one would believe me."

Qiu Weifeng laughed and said, "That's all in the past. Mountain Lord, why bring it up again? Now I'm just an ordinary old man, waiting to experience the final stage of my life."

Gu Yuanqing was slightly surprised. Although this was not inside the Beiquan Cave Heaven, his cultivation level was far higher than Qiu Weifeng's. At the same time, he had cultivated the Divine Intent Analysis Technique, which made him very sensitive to the thoughts and consciousness of others. Therefore, he could feel that Qiu Weifeng's words came from the heart and were not false.

Qiu Weifeng seemed to know Gu Yuanqing's doubts and surprise, and said with a smile: "To be honest, although the Heavenly Demon Sword has created my cultivation, if it weren't for it, I'm afraid I would have had difficulty reaching the peak of Yin-Yang Zhou Tian, ​​and even once cut off a clone to climb to the Chaotic Heaven Realm. But besides power, it also brought me constraints."

The mountain master erased my connection with it, and also erased the shackles in my heart. Looking at this world again and looking back on my past life, I have a different feeling.

The past is the past, so why cling to it so tightly? Perhaps this is what happens when you get old—you see things more clearly and let go.

Gu Yuanqing looked at the river again: "Actually, this is quite good. The past cannot be retrieved, and clinging to the past is tantamount to creating trouble for oneself. However... I once told you that if you brought the second volume of the Heavenly Dao Scripture, I would give you a chance, and now, I will give you that chance."

Feng Jiuniang couldn't help but step forward and asked urgently, "Is what the Mountain Lord said true?"
