I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 718 Ants Shaking an Elephant
Gu Yuanqing ignored Feng Jiu Niang and looked at Qiu Weifeng instead.

Qiu Weifeng's hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly, indicating that his mind was not at peace.

He put down his fishing rod, stood up, looked at Gu Yuanqing, and asked, "Then what does the mountain lord need me to do?"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "You will stay here in Qingping Dao Palace and become a swordsmanship teacher for the Qianyuan Sect."

"Is that all?" Qiu Weifeng was somewhat surprised. Although he and Gu Yuanqing had no blood feud, they did have some grudges. He had thought about what harsh conditions the other party would offer, but he did not expect it to be like this.

Gu Yuanqing said with a smile, "Perhaps there is something else I need you to do in the future."

"What is it?" Qiu Weifeng asked. He always felt that there was something intriguing about Gu Yuanqing's smile. It wasn't malicious, but rather the feeling of wanting to see a good show.

"No rush, let's talk about everything after you've actually survived."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, then tossed the two scrolls of scripture to Qiu Weifeng and said, "Ten years. You have ten years to study this scripture. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Whether you survive or not depends on your own fate. If you don't survive in the end, you can't blame me."

Qiu Weifeng took the Heavenly Dao Scripture, glanced at it, and was slightly taken aback. Putting aside the second volume, he had been searching for the first volume of the Heavenly Dao Scripture for ten thousand years, and today it was finally in his hands. His feelings were complicated, and it took him a long time to raise his head.

"Isn't the mountain lord worried that I might take this scripture and secretly break through the cave to leave?"

Gu Yuanqing asked, "Can you do it?"

"No, I don't consider myself that kind of person. Besides, even if I wanted to escape, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape the mountain lord's grasp." Qiu Weifeng smiled.

"That's it!" Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly. He might have had this worry before. Although Qiu Weifeng was only at the peak of Yin-Yang realm, his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Shattered Heaven realm cultivator. He could break through the void and leave. But now, he had achieved the Undying Chaos realm. Qiu Weifeng's attempt to leave with the Heavenly Dao Scripture under his nose, given his mastery of the Dao of Space, was nothing short of a pipe dream.

"I wish you good luck, and take care of yourself!"

Gu Yuanqing's figure then disappeared.

Qiu Weifeng then clasped his hands and bowed towards the spot where Gu Yuanqing had just stood, saying, "I, Qiu, thank you, Mountain Lord."

But Gu Yuanqing did not respond.

Feng Jiu Niang then excitedly stepped forward: "My lord, is this really the upper and lower volumes of the Heavenly Dao Scripture?"

Qiu Weifeng said, "Someone like Lord Gu would naturally not lie about this matter, nor would he need to. Even if he doesn't give it to us and kills us, no one will know, and no one will say anything."

"Now that the Lord has obtained the complete Heavenly Dao Scripture, can the problem of lifespan be solved?" Feng Jiu Niang asked.

Qiu Weifeng shook her head and said calmly, "Who can predict whether it will succeed or not? However, we have the opportunity now, so let's see how it goes."

……

Gu Yuanqing's clone arrived in front of the library and glanced back.

Back then, he said that if Qiu Weifeng brought the second volume of the Heavenly Dao Scripture, he would give him a chance. Now that the chance has been given, he can be considered to have kept his word.

As for the rest, they only have value if Qiu Weifeng can survive.

He used the Qingping Order to enter the seventh floor of the library, returned some books, and took some with him.

Returning to Beiquan Cave, it transformed into strands of hair and returned to Gu Yuanqing's head.

Gu Yuanqing himself sat leisurely in the courtyard, flipping through the books.

At the same time, countless spiritual energies emerged from the illusory image of Beiquan Mountain in his sea of ​​consciousness, entered his body, and quickly transformed into true essence. Like the Yangtze River, it flowed through his meridians, passed through many acupoints, and finally merged into his celestial world.

Every tiny particle within his body emitted a faint glow, and the illusory images of the Dao imprinted within resonated with the celestial world.

Through mutual resonance, they absorb the flowing true essence, constantly strengthening themselves. The microscopic world formed by each particle is rapidly expanding and stabilizing.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly put down the book, looked at the countless worlds within his body, and suddenly a guess came to mind.

His body now contains countless miniature worlds. Although these worlds are currently weak, like illusions and not real spaces, they bear some resemblance to the original Void Heaven World. However, as his strength continues to grow, these miniature worlds will surely grow as well.

Could it be that one day, these miniature worlds could also become the real world?

If... it really could be like this, how similar this final scene is to the current Linglong Realm... no, it should be said that this entire world of rules and divine artifacts!
Are those countless floating realms miniature worlds within the body of an immeasurable great being?
Could the Linglong Realm, the Ancient Realm, and the Dharma Source Realm above them be the key points of this great power?

Those numerous divine artifacts based on rules might be manifestations of the powerful beings' own Dao imprints...

Gu Yuanqing was slightly lost in thought. Although this conjecture was somewhat far-fetched, he felt that such a possibility existed.

Of course, this was just his current reverie. His understanding of the path to immortality was limited to becoming an ascended immortal, and he was not clear about the subsequent path of cultivation.

However, if it is really as he thinks, then one can't help but sigh at how powerful a cultivator must be to have such a world within him. One day, will I be able to reach such a level?
After a long while, Gu Yuanqing finally came to his senses, and his gaze suddenly fell on the Spirit Pivot Realm.

This realm is the domain of the Ten Directions Misty Rain Pavilion, which Gu Yuanqing once destroyed. However, Gu Yuanqing's focus on this place today is not because of the Ten Directions Misty Rain Pavilion.

It was because Qin Baijun had come to this place!

Ever since Gu Yuanqing noticed something was off about this person, he had repeatedly focused his attention on him.

Back then, it was discovered that this person was colluding with the Ancient Divine Sect, but the origin of the changes in his body seemed to have nothing to do with the Ancient Divine Sect.

The origin of the demonic energy emanating from him was peculiar; even Gu Yuanqing's soul-searching technique failed to uncover its source.

Therefore, Gu Yuanqing kept it as bait, waiting for the fish to take the bait. However, within the Qian Yuan Realm, Qin Baijun never made any unusual moves.

Some time ago, when Qin Baijun left the Qian Yuan Realm, Gu Yuanqing sensed something was wrong and attached a wisp of his divine sense to him.

Sure enough, they realized something was wrong.

He was in a remote mountain range, where he had found a natural cave and set up layers of protective arrays. But such an array could not possibly block Gu Yuanqing's view!

Before him, an altar had been set up, with a statue of a god in the center. The statue had a snake's tail, a human body, and a human face, with spiral horns on its forehead similar to those of demons.

Wearing a mask, Qin Baijun placed a jade bottle in front of the altar, made hand seals, and chanted incantations.

Strands of blood-red energy continuously escaped from the jade bottle and entered the statue.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuanqing's eyes. He could tell that the blood energy in the jade bottle came from the human race. This item was obtained by Qin Baijun through a transaction. But no matter where the blood energy came from, how many lives had been sacrificed for it?

Blood gradually stained the statue, and accompanied by incantations, an invisible force broke through space and descended upon this place.

This power is remarkably similar to the giant eye summoned by the Demon Lord on the battlefield between humans and demons.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanqing was slightly disappointed. He had thought that someone had reached out to the Qian Yuan Realm, but it seemed that was not the case.

"So... your power comes from this statue?"

Gu Yuanqing's figure suddenly appeared silently beside Qin Baijun.

Qin Baijun, who was still chanting incantations and manipulating the altar, heard the words and his pupils shrank. He turned to look at Gu Yuanqing, his expression full of horror!
"Gu Yuanqing!" he cried out in disbelief.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the altar, and said with a smile, "It seems you are surprised to see me? Well, it's been so many years since we last met."

Qin Baijun changed his magic technique and manipulated the magic array to attack Gu Yuanqing. At the same time, his body disappeared into the rocks.

"To have reached the Great Perfection of the Void Realm in just three hundred years, you do have some skill. However, thinking you can escape from me is wishful thinking!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly and made no move, but the attacking formation suddenly stopped operating, and the earth and stones on the ground suddenly became as hard as iron. Qin Baijun's half body was stuck in the ground, and no matter how he used his escape technique, he could not move!
"Tell me, how did you obtain this statue?" Gu Yuanqing looked down at Qin Baijun, his tone calm.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Qin Baijun naturally didn't want to surrender so easily, so he opened his mouth and spat out a line of blood.

This object is exceptionally sharp, lightning fast, and extremely poisonous; when it comes into contact with the spiritual energy in the air, it hisses.

If it were an ordinary celestial being, they would probably be caught off guard and fall victim to his attack at such close range.

But he was facing Gu Yuanqing. The difference between the Void Realm and the Chaotic Realm cultivator was like heaven and earth. In Gu Yuanqing's eyes, both Qin Baijun and this thing were like children's toys, posing no threat whatsoever.

Gu Yuanqing made no move either. The bloodline that attacked him suddenly stopped in mid-air three feet away from him, revealing its true form. It was not a treasure, but a drop of bewitching blood.

At this moment, Qin Baijun seemed to mutter a spell, and the drop of blood suddenly changed, transforming into a demonic shadow with a human body and a snake tail. With a roar, it broke free from Gu Yuanqing's restraints and pounced towards his face.

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. This thing was extraordinary. Although he hadn't used much of his power, he was still at the Hun Tian Realm. A single thought was enough to suppress Xu Tian, ​​but this thing was able to break through his suppression.

Of course, that's all.

This demonic shadow was extremely fast, far exceeding the Void Heaven level, yet the three feet away from Gu Yuanqing suddenly seemed to become billions of miles away, making it impossible for it to get close no matter what it did.

The next moment, the demonic shadow spontaneously combusted without fire, and all its power vanished into nothingness.

Qin Baijun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale. This object was connected to his mind and spirit, and its destruction also seriously injured him. Seeing that there was no other way, he looked at Gu Yuanqing with hatred and said venomously, "I only regret that I didn't kill you that night!"

"Kill me? It seems I've been too merciful all these years. I didn't want to pursue the past anymore, but some people just have to seek their own death!" Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled.

Back then, Qin Baijun was considered a master when he first entered the martial arts world. However, his cultivation level quickly broke through to the True Martial realm, and he became a Grandmaster. His opponents were at least at the level of inner sect elders in the Lingxu Sect. As for Qin Baijun, he was just an insignificant little figure and was no longer taken seriously.

He was too lazy to pursue what happened back then, since he hadn't suffered any significant losses.

He simply ignored him, but the other party never let go of this hatred.

"Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. I'll just take a look at what you remember!"

Gu Yuanqing extended her finger and touched Qin Baijun's brow.

"Wait!" Qin Baijun suddenly shouted.

"Ok?"

Gu Yuanqing paused briefly, then chuckled, "So you're placing your last hope on the altar behind you!"

Suddenly, the statue on the altar seemed to come alive, growing to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), its blood-red eyes coldly staring at Gu Yuanqing.

Qin Baijun laughed maniacally, his eyes filled with fanaticism: "Gu Yuanqing, you should have destroyed the altar as soon as you arrived. This is the power of a demon god, surpassing that of ordinary cultivators. Now that I have summoned its power to the world, even if you kill me, you cannot escape. Moreover, the entire Ling Shu Realm will be destroyed because of you."

"A mere Void Realm cultivator dares to talk about surpassing worldly cultivators and the power of a demon god? Heh." Gu Yuanqing chuckled, his gaze towards Qin Baijun filled with mockery. The power behind him did indeed surpass that of ordinary Celestials, and its level of power seemed quite high, but in terms of sheer magnitude, it was at most at the Yin-Yang level.

Even the power summoned by the Abyss Demon Clan at the cost of half the blood of demonic beasts could hardly have any effect on Gu Yuanqing, let alone this little bit of power.

Suddenly, a raging demonic fire erupted from the demonic shadow formed by the statue. The flames danced, causing ripples in the void. Then, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp howl, like a demonic sound that went straight into Gu Yuanqing's ears, trying to shake Gu Yuanqing's soul.

But in the blink of an eye, a great mountain pressed down, four long sword phantoms appeared, and the Zhou Tian Star Array Diagram unfolded.

And so, it all came to an end!
Qin Baijun's laughter abruptly stopped, and the cave fell silent. His expression turned grim. He hadn't expected it all to end so suddenly. He had gone to great lengths to arrange things, expending all his energy to obtain the essence of living beings, and choosing this auspicious place to set up the magic array and altar, all in order to obtain power that matched Gu Yuanqing's.

But now it seems like just a joke.

"Impossible, this... Gu Yuanqing, even if I lose, you can forget about getting anything from me!" He suddenly shouted fiercely, and as he spoke, he directly shattered the void world, burned his soul, and attempted to self-destruct.

However, it was all in vain. Everything came to a standstill. His true essence, soul, and the collapsing void world all froze instantly, leaving only his consciousness.

Gu Yuanqing didn't say anything more, and placed her finger on Qin Baijun's brow.

After a moment, he frowned slightly: "From the ancient realm?"
