I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 781 The True Fire of the Sun Refines the Grotto Heaven

The divine soul projection of the Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu stood in mid-air, staring at Gu Yuanqing, and slowly said, "The true demon incarnation has emerged and stirred up a demonic calamity in the realm. I wonder if you are aware of this matter, fellow Daoist?"

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "How would I know anything about the True Demon? Since the True Demon has incarnated to bring disaster to the world, why does the Divine Emperor come here to find me instead of searching for the True Demon incarnation?"

The illusory image of the God Emperor, forged from light, was majestic, and his powerful and authoritative voice resounded throughout the sky above Beiquan Mountain.

"The matter of the True Demon concerns the very survival of the Demon Realm and cannot be overlooked. The Dragon Demon Realm originally had an exit through a cave, and in recent years, we have heard that this small realm has experienced fluctuations in demonic energy. Furthermore, you have consistently refused to reveal your origins, making your background a mystery. Not only our Demon God Mountain, but all races harbor doubts. Today, taking advantage of this opportunity to patrol the heavens, we urge you to release the restrictions and allow the Divine Mirror to reflect upon you. This will not only prove your innocence but also reassure the hearts of all races. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Gu Yuanqing stood atop the mountain with his hands behind his back, his tone still calm: "I, Gu, am here in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs, and have no need to prove anything to anyone. The mountain's array is the foundation of my safety and well-being; how can I open it because of others' doubts?"

The illusory figure of Lie Shanyu rippled with light, his tone grew deeper, and his eyes began to reveal a sharp edge as he said, "Fellow Daoist, you should know that the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror is an ancient artifact of gods and demons. Wherever its light shines, it penetrates the netherworld and distinguishes between good and evil. Under this light, nothing can hide."

This time, even the Demon Court and the Barbarians went through the process of searching for this artifact during the Great Sun's Sky Patrol. I still advise you to consider it carefully.

"You must understand, the power of this artifact is amplified by the combined power of all races. Ordinary searches are fine, but if used at full strength, even I, the Emperor, will find it difficult to control its power. And in that case, no one knows what might happen."

From his words, it seemed that the power of the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror had increased somewhat.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly: "Is the Divine Emperor threatening me?"

"It is not a threat, but a necessary measure for the stability of the Demon Realm! Fellow Daoist Gu, your origins are unknown, and you happen to be hiding here at the time of the True Demon's birth. Such coincidences cannot help but arouse my suspicion! Fellow Daoist Gu, the existence of Demon God Mountain is to maintain the safety of the Demon Realm. If it were an ordinary matter, it would be fine, but since it concerns the True Demon, there is absolutely no choice. I would like to advise you again to activate the formation and accept the inspection. It would be better for everyone. If you insist on refusing, I may have no choice but to be impolite."

"What a convenient excuse!" Gu Yuanqing smiled, then his gaze suddenly turned cold. "Lie Shanyu, if you dare to make a move today, the grudges that I resolved with Demon God Mountain back then will be null and void. Is Demon God Mountain willing to bear this karma again?"

Lie Shanyu wanted him to loosen the defenses of Beiquan Cave and allow the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror to patrol, which would be tantamount to handing over his secrets to outsiders. How could that be possible?

Even if he managed to escape from the Demon Realm by controlling the Northern Spring Cave Heaven, he would never allow such a thing to exist.

The more firmly Gu Yuanqing refused, the deeper the doubts in Lie Shanyu's mind became.

The matter of the True Demon concerns the safety of the Demon Realm and even this great world. It is also the responsibility of the Lieshan Clan to exist in this realm. No doubts can be overlooked, especially since there are too many coincidences and suspicious points. How could he let it go unchecked?

Furthermore, Gu Yuanqing's strength is a mystery. His true form needs to be stationed at Demon God Mountain. Last time, he even made a mistake in the battle. The Northern God King said that Gu Yuanqing's strength has increased dramatically and is unmatched.

This opportunity to activate the Divine Mirror with the power of all races is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and he also wants to find out more about this person!

As for cause and effect, Demon God Mountain has been the seal that has suppressed the true demons of this realm since ancient times. Even if his personal cultivation is only at the level of Chaos Undying, how could outsiders know about the mountain's foundation? What does he have to fear?

Lie Shanyu sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Gu, I only advised you gently because I knew cultivation was difficult, but since you insist on this, for the sake of the Demon Realm's people, even if there are consequences, I have no choice but to bear them all!"

Before the words were finished, the phantom of the Divine Emperor raised his hands as if to activate the Great Sun Mirror in the heavens.

A golden beam of light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly composed of liquid solar fire, tore through the sky, carrying the supreme will of purification and judgment. It pierced through the spatial barrier of the Dragon Demon Realm and then crashed down towards the mountain where Gu Yuanqing was!

Gu Yuanqing's gaze sharpened; Demon God Mountain had finally made its move against him.

Whether Lie Shanyu acted out of consideration for the greater good of the Demon Realm or to take advantage of personal grudges is irrelevant. He is not one to be bullied. Since this grudge has been formed, it will naturally be settled in the future.

However, those things can be dealt with later. Right now, he has to face the true fire of the sun falling from the Great Sun Panorama Mirror.

This magical artifact, wielded by the combined power of all races, must possess extraordinary power.

In a sense, this was the biggest test Gu Yuanqing had faced since he began his cultivation.

Fortunately, he was not in the outside world when he saw this scene, but inside the Beiquan Cave Heaven, so he was not panicked at all!
Gu Yuanqing reached out, gathering the power of Beiquan Mountain into his body, transforming it into a giant palm that met the pillar of light formed by the true fire of the sun.

Upon sensing the giant palm formed from Gu Yuanqing's power, Emperor Lieshan Yu's heart tightened slightly. With just this one palm, he could see that Gu Yuanqing's power was so profound that he had never seen or heard of it before, and it was far stronger than when he was fighting for the origin of the small world.

No wonder the sixth brother said that there was no way to fight back.

However… a faint sneer appeared on his lips. How could human beings possibly contend with the Great Sun Survey Mirror in this state?

The Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror resides above the Nine Heavens, absorbing the power of the Great Sun's True Fire for tens of thousands of years. It is also driven by the foundation of the myriad races of the Demon Realm. Whether in terms of the vastness of its power or the level of its power, it far surpasses the Undying Chaos. Otherwise, how could it be one of the strongest means to deal with the true demon incarnation?

The two forces finally collided in the space above Beiquan Mountain.

laugh!
Under the True Sun Fire, the giant hand formed by Gu Yuanqing's power seemed to be constantly burned and annihilated, and the True Sun Fire was also being consumed violently, but under the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror, this power seemed to be inexhaustible.

The moment they touched each other, a terrifying pressure was released, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

A terrifyingly high temperature emanated from it, seemingly causing the temperature of the entire Dragon Demon Realm to rise rapidly.

The leaves of trees in the area surrounding Beiquan Mountain are rapidly turning yellow and scorching, and some dry trees and leaves on the ground have already begun to spontaneously combust!
The next moment, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on the pillar of light was turned into a sea of ​​fire, and countless creatures fled in a frenzy.

In the distance, amidst the bamboo mountains, both Xiong Mo and Xiong Ba wore solemn expressions, their eyes even revealing a barely suppressed fear. This was due to the vast difference in their power levels, causing a tremor to arise naturally from their very souls. That terrifying power could be felt even from thousands of miles away, and if even a trace of that power were to leak out, it might be enough to bring devastating damage to the bamboo mountains.

And now, the bamboo mountain is already feeling hot and dry!
Further away, the Demon Dragon Ancestor, the Demon Ape, the Demon Emperor, and others were not much different. Even though they were further apart, under the power of the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror, this distance was nothing.

In the distance of the Black Sea, even the Black Sea Lord, Wu Ti, couldn't help but feel shocked, his lips twitching slightly. He had once thought he could rely on the power of the Black Sea to contend with Demon God Mountain. Although he had fully realized the gap between himself and the Undying Chaos during the battle for the origin of the Spirit Abyss Realm, it was far less shocking than the power he was feeling now.

The Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror had also swept over his small realm, but his power was almost insufficient to withstand it.

At that time, the power of the Great Sun Sky-Surveying Mirror was dispersed, and the feeling might not have been clear enough. But now, sensing the Great Sun Sky-Surveying Mirror's power gathering from afar, the feeling is completely different.

He appeared very silent, and his former arrogance had vanished without a trace.

The only thought in his mind was to break through the Chaotic Immortal Realm as soon as possible, but how difficult that was!

Gu Yuanqing, who was in the midst of the battle, raised an eyebrow slightly.

The power of the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror was indeed greater than he had anticipated. He wasn't too concerned about the depletion of his vital energy. The North Spring Cave Heaven was constantly converting the power of the Earthly Demon Realm, which was enough to support him in resisting the true solar fire falling from the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror for a long time.

The burning sensation he sensed with his divine sense made him feel slightly uncomfortable, and wisps of true solar fire power were wrapped around his divine sense, intending to follow the connection between his divine sense and his soul and head straight for the Northern Spring Cave Heaven.

He even sensed that a mirror was about to be born out of thin air in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was very similar to the feeling when he peered into Ye Xuanxiao's sea of ​​consciousness and saw the eyes in the Zhenyuan Mingzhi appear there. However, it was obvious that this power was not comparable to that back then. With a thought, Gu Yuanqing destroyed it.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the scene around the Dragon Demon Domain. If this continued, this area of ​​tens of thousands of miles would probably be destroyed by the power leaked out during the battle, and even the more distant Bamboo Mountain would be in danger of being destroyed.

If the scale of the battle were to expand even further, it wouldn't be impossible for the entire realm to be destroyed.

In any case, this place is under his protection, and he has a good relationship with the Iron-Eating Clan. If it weren't for the Iron-Eating Clan, his progress in the Divine Platform Realm would probably be much slower.

The demons in this realm also send tributes every year, so it's not easy to ignore them!

Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing's expression shifted slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Because outside the pillar of light, there was also a dense amount of solar fire light falling on Beiquan Cave Heaven, and this light was even brighter than the light when the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror patrolled the area before.

When he used his power to dissolve it, he suddenly discovered that the supreme yang energy had not disappeared without a trace, but had condensed on the cave heaven, replenishing the supreme yang path in the North Spring Cave Heaven.

There may have been changes the previous time, but the power was too weak to be detected.

Now, his mind is in harmony with the Northern Spring Cave Heaven, and he can perceive everything within it. Initially, because his attention was completely focused on the clash with the True Fire of the Sun in the sky, and the transformation of this power was still weak, he did not notice it. However, as it accumulated, it naturally could not escape his mind.

"If that's the case..."

This unexpected joy caught Gu Yuanqing off guard. Then, with a thought, the giant hand that was blocking the true fire of the sun seemed unable to withstand it, and streams of true fire suddenly fell from between its five fingers, pouring onto the spatial barrier of Beiquan Cave Heaven.

With such immense power arriving, without Gu Yuanqing's deliberate manipulation, the entire power of the cave naturally began to dissolve its force, just like transforming the demonic energy of the underground cave.

The demonic energy is transformed into spiritual energy, while the true fire of the sun, after being refined, transforms into the power of ultimate yang, replenishing the ultimate yang path of Beiquan Cave.

Gu Yuanqing could clearly feel that the supreme yang path that was originally being nurtured in the cave was greedily absorbing the power transformed from the true fire of the sun, and it would grow stronger with each passing moment.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuanqing almost couldn't help but smile. This was a rare opportunity that had come knocking on his door!

Beiquan Cave Heaven gradually took shape from the initial Lingshan Mountain, and through continuous growth, it eventually transformed into a true cave heaven.

However, this grotto-heaven is not perfect and needs to absorb external forces to grow. The demonic energy of the underground demon realm became its resources for growth. In this process, the Great Dao within the grotto-heaven also began to emerge. By absorbing the Great Dao of other worlds, it continuously grew stronger and more powerful.

However, the two most important principles of Yin and Yang have always been in their infancy. Only when they are truly formed can the sun and moon revolve, Yin and Yang change endlessly, and become self-sufficient.

This process will take an immeasurable amount of time. Before that, Beiquan Cave Heaven must rely on other worlds and depend on their power to exist.

But now, the true fire of the sun projected down by the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror can be transformed into nourishment, accelerating the growth of the ultimate yang path in the cave heaven. How could Gu Yuanqing not be happy about this!
As Lie Shanyu watched the power of the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror fall upon the barrier in the mountain, he assumed that Gu Yuanqing had finally given in and a smile appeared on his face. He slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, if you release the formation now, there is still room for maneuver. As long as no true demonic power is found in your mountain or on your body, I can apologize to you on behalf of Demon God Mountain. However, if you resist stubbornly, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. I advise you not to make a mistake if you have nothing to hide!"

Gu Yuanqing glanced at Lie Shanyu expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Lie Shanyu, if you have the ability, then conquer this mountain, and I will have nothing to say. But if you cannot do so, this matter will fall into your Demon God Mountain sooner or later."

"Stubborn fool, you're courting death!" Lie Shanyu sneered, and in an instant, the power of the falling solar fire became even stronger.

Gu Yuanqing seemed to be completely unable to resist. His giant palm, formed from his true essence, collapsed completely in the true fire, and all the power of the solar true fire poured into the North Spring Cave Heaven.

It seems that Beiquan Cave Heaven was forced to reveal itself from the void due to this enormous power, gradually transforming from a single hilltop into a mountain thousands of feet high.

The true fire of the sun fell on the mountaintop and then scattered along the spatial barrier, after which the entire mountain seemed to be completely enveloped by the true fire of the sun...
