I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 741 The Mark of Breaking Through the Realm
As soon as Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping boarded the imperial carriage today, they began to determine the location without stopping for a moment.

Gu Yuanqing is currently driving the bronze chariot. If I can't help at all, how could I dare to try to get any opportunities?

So as soon as the bronze chariot stopped, Song Tianrui hurriedly said, "Senior, this area below should be the Starry Night Miasma region. It is said that there may be a Seven Luminaries Mystic Mansion hidden in this area. Someone once saw the shadow of this cave in this area at midnight."

Legend has it that the Seven Luminaries Mystic Palace was left behind by the Seven Luminaries Heavenly Lord, a great cultivator of the Chaos Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago. In his later years, he sealed all his knowledge, treasures, and most important inheritance within this cave, disappearing into the Falling Star Plain. However, over the years, countless people have come to explore, yet no one has found its trace, so its authenticity remains unknown.

Gu Yuanqing pulled back the curtain of the car window, opened his Heavenly Eyes, and looked down into the miasma.

As he passed by, he vaguely sensed that this place was somewhat different from other places he had seen before, so he stopped.

Upon hearing Song Tianrui's words, he thought to himself, "Could there really be a cave dwelling of a Chaos Realm cultivator inside?"

Gu Yuanqing was somewhat interested in the inheritance of the Chaotic Heaven cultivators. Those who could cultivate to the Chaotic Heaven level all possessed superior methods, which had their own lessons to be learned.

He used the Dao of Derivation to deduce his own cultivation method, which required various superior methods. One of his purposes was to go out into the cultivation world and observe the methods of the world!
The journey from the Undying Heaven realm to the Immortal realm will be much longer and more difficult.

Although Gu Yuanqing's lifespan is not in a hurry, a person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. If we do not accumulate now, where will we find it when we really need it?
Thinking of this, the two dragons in the sky suddenly changed shape and swooped down.

Song Tianrui's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly reminded him, "Senior, please be careful. This Starry Night Miasma is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary evil energy, especially under the Spirit Rain."

Gu Yuanqing responded calmly. He did not underestimate the Falling Star Plain. After all, it was caused by the leakage of the power of the sword mark of the ancient great power. It was possible that it contained power that surpassed that of human cultivators.

Moreover, he sensed a strange power interfering with and suppressing his divine sense, even affecting his soul. And wisps of magnetic field were converging on the bronze chariot, naturally drawing down lightning from the sky.

The lightning here wasn't pure lightning, but rather mixed with the power of that sword mark. If he hadn't already become a Great Immortal cultivator, he would probably have had no choice but to retreat by now.

Click!

A bolt of lightning struck down, and faintly, a sharp sword seemed to pierce straight down as well.

Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping looked up and their expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene. Even though they had confidence in Gu Yuanqing, as cultivators of the Void Realm, they instinctively felt fear of heavenly lightning. Moreover, they had heard too many legends about the Falling Star Plains, so they couldn't help but feel worried.

Moreover, if danger were to occur, and this Senior Gu could not protect the carriage, he could at most escape alone, but he and Gu Chengping would likely face certain death!
But the next second, all the worries seemed to vanish without a trace. The falling lightning did not cause any waves and directly merged into the glass shield. Instead, the bronze chariot's speed increased by half a point.

"The protective cover of this bronze chariot has such a wonderful use?"

Song Tianrui's eyes widened, but then he thought that perhaps it wasn't the bronze chariot that had such a wonderful use, but rather that this Senior Gu's strength was unfathomable.

The bronze chariot traveled through the Starry Night Miasma, a place that was completely forbidden to ordinary cultivators, yet the chariot passed straight through it.

Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping gained valuable experience, which even shattered their understanding of true cultivation power to some extent.

The scenes before their eyes made them feel that their trip had been worthwhile.

Such a scene was something we could never have seen before. In the rain of spirits and demons, within the miasma of stars and demons, under the thunder, who would dare to trespass?

In their original view, the power of heaven and earth was so vast that even the strongest cultivators could only avoid its sharp edge. But in the face of a true master cultivator, the power of heaven and earth seemed to have to submit as well!
The two seemed unwilling to even blink, as if missing this opportunity would be a lifelong regret.

It took about fifteen minutes.

The bronze chariot suddenly stopped in front of an open space.

The ground here is flat, as if it were a crater formed by a star falling down.

Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping couldn't see anything, but Gu Yuanqing could sense that there was a spatial array present in the area.

If I'm not mistaken, the Great Chaos Cultivation Cave hidden here is right here!
Gu Yuanqing flashed to the outside of the carriage and stood with his hands behind his back on the roof.

"Senior... what is this? Could it be..." Song Tianrui was taken aback. He had only said it casually before, but now it seemed to be becoming a reality.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes shimmered with starlight, his gaze seemingly piercing through the mist to see the earth's veins and the stars in the sky. He said calmly, "There is indeed a cave dwelling here, perhaps the Seven Luminaries Mystic Palace you mentioned. However, now is not the time to enter. Perhaps it will be just right when we return from your place of storing weapons!"

As soon as the words fell, the two dragons let out a long roar and dragged the bronze chariot forward. In a daze, Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping seemed to see a phantom of a cave appear before their eyes, through which the bronze chariot passed. They could see it but could not touch it.

……

Three days later, the bronze chariot came to a stop in the thick fog formed by the evil energy, at the border between the Void Sea and the Falling Star Plain.

The rain of evil spirits has stopped, but this place has not become safe as a result.

In Gu Yuanqing's line of sight, a spatial rift would occasionally appear and close silently not far away. Because of the Void Sea, the space here had lost its usual sense of front, back, left, and right.

The restrictions on divine sense are even greater here. Gu Yuanqing is alright because he is proficient in the Dao of Space. If it were any other cultivator, their divine sense would probably lose its way completely in no time.

"Is it just ahead?" Gu Yuanqing said calmly, his words indifferent, but there was a hint of doubt in them.
Even a great cultivator of Yin and Yang might not be able to enter and leave safely here. How could a mere cultivator of the Void Heaven possibly enter and leave unharmed?

“It is indeed just ahead, but it takes me a fixed amount of time to find a safe path before I arrive. Right now, I don’t know how to get in! Perhaps we should wait a few more days and I can see if I can find another way?” Song Tianrui said respectfully.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "No need, just point me in the direction!"

Song Tianrui said, "Originally, you would go in from here, walk forward for eight li, then turn left, walk for another twenty li or so, and then turn right..."

The described road was winding and varied, but Gu Yuanqing already had a general idea of ​​what it looked like.

Of course, the actual location might not be exactly as described by Song Tianrui, because in the vicinity of the Void Sea, the surroundings could be reversed. What seems like moving forward might not actually be forward, and Song Tianrui, with his Void Realm cultivation, might not even be able to perceive passing through a stable spatial rift. But none of this really matters. As long as the weapon-gathering ground he mentioned is indeed in the vicinity, it won't be difficult for Gu Yuanqing!

Gu Chengping's eyes widened as well. In fact, although he had a good relationship with Song Tianrui, this was his first time here!
He thought to himself, no wonder so many cultivators wanted to know where Song Tianrui's military training ground was, but in the end no one succeeded. Even if they knew where this place was, they probably wouldn't be able to get in. If they weren't careful, they might perish here.

Suddenly, his expression turned strange. He couldn't help but turn to look at Song Tianrui, recalling several events from many years ago. Song Tianrui had disappeared for a period of time, and upon inquiring, he learned that he had been captured.

However, less than half a year later, Song Tianrui returned unharmed, but the people who had arrested him had disappeared without a trace!
It now seems they were all brought here and killed inside.

Suddenly, Gu Chengping's expression changed slightly, wondering if Song Tianrui was also planning this. He couldn't help but transmit his voice, "Old Song, don't do anything rash. This Senior Gu is not someone you've met before!"

Song Tianrui's expression also changed, and he quickly transmitted his voice, "What nonsense are you thinking? How could I dare to trick Senior Gu? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

Gu Chengping felt a sense of relief, as long as Song Tianrui didn't do anything reckless.

However, the two were unaware that Gu Yuanqing had seen through their little tricks, and their so-called telepathic communication was completely useless next to Gu Yuanqing.

In fact, if Gu Yuanqing wanted to, he could know what the two of them were thinking and knowing without them even realizing it, and manipulate their actions.

However, in Gu Yuanqing's view, this would defeat the purpose of traveling. He brought these two people with him as a way to experience and observe, to see others and verify himself, which was also a kind of spiritual practice.

Just like many cultivators who, after achieving Yin and Yang, release their clones to descend into the mortal world and experience the joys and sorrows of life, or great cultivators who transform into mortals to temper their minds, all of these are quite interesting in themselves.

Gu Yuanqing opened his Void Heavenly Eyes wide and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, but after a long time he still could not sense the sword-gathering place that Song Tianrui had mentioned.

"Perhaps we should try a different approach!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly, and the illusory image of the Zhou Tian Star Array Diagram reappeared. The illusory images of the four swords—Subduing Demon, Sealing Demon, Sweeping Demon, and Heavenly Demon—sat within it, and the sword intent of the Four Phases of Calamity Suppressing Tribulation soared into the sky.

The overwhelming and vast aura made Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping gasp for breath. For a moment, they felt as if their consciousness was filled with these sword shadows, and they could no longer have any other thoughts.

Without a doubt, at that moment, if Gu Yuanqing wanted to kill them, they probably wouldn't even know they were dead.

Or rather, it was fortunate that Gu Yuanqing deliberately prevented the Four Phases of the Calamity Suppression Sword Intent from landing on them; otherwise, without any action, the sword intent alone would have been enough to kill them.

After a moment, the two regained their senses and gasped for breath, just like drowning people who had finally surfaced from the bottom of the water and were greedily breathing in the air!
Although they stood there motionless, the two of them felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

Song Tianrui struggled to look up at the scene on Gu Yuanqing's body, his eyes wide. But at this moment, he was not afraid of how frightening the sword shadow was, but because he could feel a sword aura on Gu Yuanqing that was very similar to the sword he was cultivating!
Gu Chengping looked at the murderous aura outside and even the clouds in the sky, which seemed to be scattered by the sword intent. His eyes became much simpler, filled with longing amidst fear. Such power might be something he could never hope to reach in his entire life.

Gu Yuanqing didn't care about what the two were thinking, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

"found it!"

As he spoke, two dragons, one red and one white, soared into the sky. Under Gu Yuanqing's control, they constantly changed their direction of travel. No matter how complex the space was, it could not stop Gu Yuanqing.

Relying on the connection between the four sword intents of the Calamity Suppression Sword, Gu Yuanqing firmly locked onto his destination.

As for Song Tianrui and Gu Chengping, the outside world appeared to advance and retreat, left and right, and even the world was turned upside down in the next instant, with bizarre and wonderful scenes in various spatial rifts.

All of this is dazzling!

About fifteen minutes have passed.

The fog suddenly dissipated, revealing a bright and clear view.

Song Tianrui was startled; the scene before him was so familiar.

To be honest, the location here isn't special; it's just a cliff on the edge of the Void Sea, and places like this are everywhere along the Void Sea.

But in front of Gu Yuanqing, the cracks on the surrounding rock walls looked like the sword techniques left by the Heavenly Sword Elder.

These sword marks, which had originally concealed themselves in the void, seemed to awaken under the stimulation of Gu Yuanqing's sword intent.

The four sword intents of subduing demons, sealing demons, heavenly demons, and vanquishing demons emerged one by one. In addition, it seemed that many sword marks had broken out of their original boundaries.

Some were as blazing as the sun in the sky, some as cold as an ancient abyss, some as swift as chasing light and lightning, some as heavy as an ancient divine mountain... And all these countless sword marks eventually converged on the seemingly ordinary finger mark in the very center of the cliff wall further ahead, which seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth!
Those were finger marks, not sword marks!

This is the ultimate proof that the Heavenly Sword Elder broke through the bottleneck of the Void Immortal realm!
"You can stay here!" Gu Yuanqing said calmly, then stepped off the bronze chariot and walked slowly forward.

With each step forward, countless sword intents erupted on the ground and in the void, but quickly returned to calm under Gu Yuanqing's own sword intent.

He walked forward step by step, his gaze calmly sweeping over the sword marks that were enough to drive any sword cultivator in the world mad, and finally came to the finger mark.

At this moment, the true body, who had been in seclusion in the North Spring Cave Heaven, also opened his eyes. He used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to focus his gaze on the finger marks through the Eye of the Clone.

He had already received the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Elder, and even witnessed his life in the illusion. He had also successfully cultivated the Four Phases Sword Dao of Suppressing Calamity. Now, being there in person, he saw with his own eyes the traces left by the other party when he broke through to the Void Immortal realm. He felt the supreme sword intent that shattered everything that permeated this place, and countless insights suddenly arose in his heart.

Those obstacles that were originally obscure and difficult in the inheritance suddenly became clear after experiencing them firsthand.

He seemed to have traversed 50,000 years of time and space, and saw the old man here, how he integrated all his life's learning, how he fought against the heavens, and finally broke through the Dao with a single finger and attained the status of a virtuous immortal.

This is not a transmission of power, but a resonance and confirmation of the "Dao Realm"...
