I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 754 Suppressing with One Hand
The man felt as if the hand pressing on his shoulder was incredibly heavy, and his entire body felt as if it were being crushed by a mountain, leaving him completely unable to move.

His heart sank, and sweat began to bead on his forehead. This clone of his still possessed the strength of the Chaotic Heaven level, able to appear before him without his noticing and easily suppress him. Its cultivation and strength must not be limited to the Shattered Heaven realm; it would be a master even among the Chaotic Heaven Undying level.

When did the Lingxu Sect acquire such a master?
Could it be... from the Holy Land of Lingbao or the Holy Land of Yunmeng?
In that instant, his mind raced. He was naturally unwilling to surrender so easily. The Daoist imprints within his body flickered, and the spear that had fought against the protectors of the Yunmeng Holy Land suddenly unleashed its power, transforming into a black dragon that broke through the defenses and struck Gu Yuanqing directly.

At the same time, he used a secret technique to try to disperse his body and break free from Gu Yuanqing's control.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Be quiet."

As the shadow of Beiquan Mountain appeared, this world seemed to be completely imprisoned. The attacking spear froze in the void, and the clone of the Chaos Cultivator felt that the secret technique he was about to activate had stopped. His true essence, soul, and even the power of the Dao imprint were compressed into his body, and he lost control of his body.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and grabbed, and the black dragon transformed into a spear, falling into his hand.

"Only three Dao Principle imprints? But the material is quite good!"

Gu Yuanqing calmly put it into his Qiankun bag, intending to erase the evil energy and mark from it and give it to the younger generation in his family.

Then, using the improved Divine Spirit Analysis Technique, he located the person's location by following the connection between the person's aura and soul. He opened his Heavenly Eye of Void and stared at a distance of tens of thousands of miles. He saw a person fleeing into the distance at an extremely fast speed, having escaped thousands of miles away in an instant.

Clearly, when Gu Yuanqing suppressed his distraction, he sensed it and made a quick decision to retreat.

Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and pointed, his fingers disappearing into the void.

Thousands of miles away, the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity suddenly descended.

He did not use the Heavenly Fishing Technique for this attack, but rather relied purely on his control over the Dao of Space.

Yet, within this distance of ten thousand miles, it is not much inferior to the art of celestial fishing.

This is also one of the biggest differences between the Undying Chaos Realm and the Shattered Heaven Realm.

If one is at the Shattered Heaven Realm, only this clone can bring the spatial Dao Principle imprint, which is the only way to achieve this. However, at the Chaotic Undying Realm, every particle of one's body contains all the Dao Principle imprints that one has condensed.

The clones' control over power is no longer limited to the Daoist imprints. Each clone is essentially no different from the original, the only difference being the strength of their power!

Even among the immortal beings of the Chaotic Heaven, the power of Gu Yuanqing's clone is among the top.

This seemingly casual gesture is actually a manifestation of his mastery of swordsmanship.

Since sensing the sword mark left by the Heavenly Sword Daoist after breaking through to the Void Immortal realm, Gu Yuanqing's Tribulation Suppressing Sword Dao can be said to have truly entered the inner sanctum and grasped its essence.

How could a mere Shattered Heaven Realm cultivator contend with him?
This Shattering Heaven Realm cultivator sensed the power piercing through the air, his expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand to throw out several magical treasures, which then self-destructed one after another.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the immense power disturbed the space and spiritual energy, also disrupting his senses.

He then used his escape technique to flee underground.

"You do have some skill!" Gu Yuanqing said calmly, pointing out again.

The Shattering Heaven cultivator felt as if the soil and rocks in the earth veins ahead had turned into sharp swords, and he was about to crash headfirst into them.

He quickly changed his escape technique and soared into the sky, only to find that among the stars in the sky, four long swords formed from sword intent and the primordial energy of heaven and earth were suspended in the air. Looking around, it seemed that he had left the spirit world and fallen into a world of swordsmanship.

As the stars spun, countless sword shadows fell, impossible to dodge or defend against.

These swords seemed to transcend the spatial meaning of swords; when they fell, they were already upon the person.

It includes not only the physical body, but also consciousness, the soul, the celestial world, and the imprint of the Dao.

The next second, everything disappeared.

"I am dead." This was the realization that the Chaos Cultivator had only made when his last wisp of will dissipated.

The boundless energy spread out in all directions.

Amidst the churning of wind and clouds, a sudden downpour began over an area spanning thousands of miles.

As the heavy rain fell, all things revived, and ordinary plants seemed to suddenly be imbued with spiritual energy and transformed into magical herbs.

The animals, which originally had clear but foolish eyes, seemed to suddenly have gained a sense of intelligence.

Gu Yuanqing calmly withdrew his hand, bringing back a storage bag as well.

The Hun Tian clone, whose shoulders were pinned down by Gu Yuanqing and unable to move, saw the storage bag and realized that the mysterious connection between itself and its original body had suddenly disappeared, thus understanding the outcome.

He was filled with extreme terror and rage, but the next second, everything vanished into nothingness. His body was as if it had been directly erased from space, turning into the most primordial particles that drifted away with the wind.

Although everything before this seems like a long story, it all happened in less than a breath.

Even before Yun Yinghe, who was rushing towards Li Miaoxuan, had reached the Nine Tribulations Peak, a Shattering Heaven Realm cultivator had died completely. Perhaps there was still a clone of him somewhere, but it was no longer a concern.

While the Shattered Heaven Realm doesn't suffer the same fate as the Yin-Yang Realm, where the main body dies and the clones are difficult to preserve, it also cannot achieve the same level of immortality as the Chaotic Heaven Realm, where as long as a drop of blood remains and there is enough vital energy, one can be reborn with a drop of blood and continue the path of cultivation.

In fact, Gu Yuanqing didn't even bother to find out who this person was. The outcome was already decided when he attacked Li Miaoxuan. Dead people weren't worth remembering.

Just as the sect elders from the Lingxu Sect who had come to their aid were about to fly to the summit of Nine Tribulations Peak, Gu Yuanqing gently waved his arm.

An invisible barrier stood before the mountaintop, forcing all those who had flown there to stop.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Everyone, stop here. Do not disturb Miaoxuan's enlightenment!"

It was only at this point that Yun Yinghe and the others truly realized what had happened.

Looking at the young man standing next to Li Miaoxuan, she was surprised and shocked.

Yun Yinghe once thought that Gu Yuanqing was a cultivator of Yin-Yang Zhou Tian, ​​and even wondered if he might be a Hun Tian Da cultivator, but she almost immediately dismissed the idea, as it was too incredible.

Regardless, Gu Yuanqing's intervention, which prevented the enemy from succeeding and protected Li Miaoxuan, was the greatest good thing for the Lingxu Sect.

Forced to stop, no one dared to object.

Yun Yinghe gave Gu Yuanqing another deep look, then turned and charged towards the five Yin-Yang Zhou Tian cultivators, shouting, "Don't let them escape! I want to see who they are that dares to attack my Lingxu Sect!"

The other elders who were originally guarding the foot of Nine Tribulations Peak also joined the attack.

With a master craftsman like Gu Yuanqing on the mountaintop, there's no need for them to provide protection, so naturally, we can't let the attacking enemy escape.

The five people wearing ghost masks sensed something was wrong, their expressions changed, and they turned to flee. However, the people of the Lingxu Sect would not let them escape. Previously, the Lingxu Sect was forced to defend against the Nine Tribulations Peak, but now the tide had turned and the situation had naturally changed.

Gu Yuanqing did not intervene; this was a matter for the Lingxu Sect itself.

He stood calmly three zhang away from Li Miaoxuan, concealing his aura so as not to affect her enlightenment.

Li Miaoxuan had already sensed the attack when the Shattered Heaven Realm cultivator made his move, but she did not break free from her enlightenment to fight back, because she trusted Gu Yuanqing and believed that as long as he was by her side, she would not have to worry about any danger.

They simply calmly seized this rare opportunity.

Xiao Yunqi looked at Gu Yuanqing with a solemn expression. He didn't know when Gu Yuanqing had arrived at Li Miaoxuan's side. Even with his cultivation level, he still couldn't see through Gu Yuanqing's background. However, his protector had just told him, "This person should be a Hun Tian Grand Cultivator!"

This one sentence completely extinguished his arrogance.

Xiao Yunqi stared at Gu Yuanqing, and suddenly felt that Gu Yuanqing was indeed very familiar. He must have seen him somewhere before. Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in his mind, and then the two began to merge.

His eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Gu Yuanqing.

"It's him! It must be him!"

"No wonder he looked familiar; it was he who stole my chance to achieve Yin-Yang Dao!"

The space the two entered back then was a soul space, not a physical space. There were some subtle differences. In addition, Gu Yuanqing's cultivation was too high, and Xiao Yunqi's cultivation was too far behind. This would inevitably affect others' exploration of related matters.

Therefore, it was only now that Xiao Yunqi connected the two.

Xiao Yunqi clenched his fists, his fingers turning white. The opportunity that had been taken from him, coupled with his inexplicable entanglement with Li Miaoxuan, made it difficult for him, with his composure and Dao heart, to maintain his inner peace.

Elder Sun of Yunmeng Holy Land, who was protecting him behind him, frowned slightly, thinking that Xiao Yunqi was jealous.

But he did nothing. His duty was simply to protect Xiao Yunqi's safety and bring back everything he saw and asked for the Holy Lord of Yunmeng Holy Land to investigate. In fact, taking action today was not his duty.

Gu Yuanqing sensed Xiao Yunqi's gaze and glanced at him indifferently.

That one glance was like a bucket of cold water poured over Xiao Yunqi's heart, instantly extinguishing his murderous intent, anger, and jealousy.

The other party is a Grandmaster of Chaos, while I am only at the Yin-Yang Void Breaking Realm. What qualifications do I have to do anything now?
The concept of a Chaos Cultivator and Yin-Yang are completely different.

Those who achieve the Chaos Realm are at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm, and even if they go to the Yunmeng Holy Land, they are treated as honored guests.

Despite being a holy son and holding a high position in the Yunmeng Holy Land, this position only applies to those below the level of Huntian.

To truly achieve a position second only to one person and above ten thousand others in the Yunmeng Holy Land, he would have to wait until he reached the level of Huntian.

In the cultivation world, within cultivation sects, no matter where you are, the most fundamental thing is always strength!

The Yunmeng Holy Land won't send experts to help you just because you're a Holy Son. You have to rely on yourself for everything. The Holy Land's background is such that anyone who wants to mess with you should think twice about the consequences. Simply put, if you die, they will avenge you.

Even within the cultivation world, there is a tacit understanding that when peers compete, life and death are decided by various means and by fate, with sect masters rarely intervening.

Only when other senior cultivators interfere in the affairs of juniors will their own sect intervene.

For example, if you, a cultivator at the Heavenly Transformation level, go and kill a junior member of your own Divine Platform sect, then don't blame others for having Yin-Yang cultivators from other sects come knocking on your door the next day.

These are also the tacit understandings that keep the grudges and feuds between the various sects within a controllable range.

However, if you choose to seek your own death, then you have only yourself to blame.

For example, if Xiao Yunqi were to directly attack Gu Yuanqing and get killed, Yunmeng Holy Land would only curse him as an idiot and wouldn't do anything else.

Xiao Yunqi himself was well aware of this!
He remained silent for a moment, suppressing all his resentment, then turned and said, "Let's go!"

He then rode away in a beam of light, with his protectors close behind.

Gu Yuanqing indifferently withdrew his gaze. Judging from Xiao Yunqi's expression, he seemed to have recognized him, but he didn't care. Apart from the slight affection he had for Xiao Lingyue of Yunmeng Holy Land that day, it was also because Xiao Yunqi was too weak.

Just like an ant standing in front of you, baring its teeth and claws, you might not even bother to pay attention to it!

The battle belonging to the Lingxu Sect continues.

The battle at this moment was completely different from the previous hand-to-hand combat, where every punch landed with a thud. Various spells and magical artifacts shone brightly, stirring up a storm.

The Yin-Yang Zhou Tian cultivators of the Lingxu Sect restrained the five Yin-Yang Zhou Tian cultivators, while the Tian Bian cultivators formed an array on the outside to provide support.

The battle had reached a fever pitch, and the five who had been held back finally revealed some of their true strength.

Yun Yinghe said sternly, "People from the Netherworld Sect and the Taiyin Palace? Very well, today we will capture you all and send you before the Spirit Lord, and see how your sect leader will explain himself!"

The five people didn't say a word and used various means to escape. After their origins were revealed, they simply stopped holding back and used their most proficient methods and magical treasures to tear through the defenses and leave.

Three of them vanished in an instant, and the Lingxu Sect could not catch up with them.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing indifferently raised his hand and pointed out three fingers, as casually as if he were counting one, two, three—three numbers.

The result is self-evident.

The two, who were finally held back by the Lingxu Sect, could not escape despite their best efforts. They exchanged a glance, and suddenly a fierce look appeared on their faces. In the midst of their confrontation with the Lingxu Sect elder, they abruptly self-destructed.

The malevolent energy swept across a radius of hundreds of miles, and the poisonous energy mixed with the rainwater, falling to the ground, causing the trees and flowers on the ground to wither and die.

The three elders of the Lingxu Sect were also seriously injured, one of whom lost half of his body, making the situation extremely dire.

Inside the sect, Ye Zhenghong breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Gu Yuanqing was helping Li Miaoxuan, the person who attacked Lingmiao Blessed Land suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Li Miaoxuan achieve the Chaotic Realm, he was naturally delighted, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The cultivator who broke through the Spirit Ruins Sect's defenses was so powerful that he must have surpassed the Yin-Yang level; in other words, he was likely even stronger than Lingxu himself. Yet, such a being was suppressed almost instantly, without any power to fight back.

This all demonstrates Gu Yuanqing's formidable strength.

And this person is Li Miaoxuan's Daoist partner, or more accurately, not only a Daoist partner, but also a couple who may have given birth to a child of the same blood.

If Li Miaoxuan is unwilling to stay in Lingxu Sect, then what should Lingxu Sect do?
"Fortunately, I listened to what Junior Sister Yun said before and didn't interfere too much..." Ye Zhenghong suddenly felt fortunate.
