I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 784 The Dao of Evolution: The Metamorphosis of the Four Phases Sword of Calamity Suppression!
“Then let’s see what they choose. If they really don’t know what’s good for them, perhaps the realm lords in some realms can be replaced,” Li Chengyi said.

Gu Yuanqing glanced at Li Chengyi and said, "You seem to have more confidence than I do."

"Isn't this because I believe in my father's abilities?" Li Chengyi said with a smile.

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and chuckled, "The Ancient Divine Sect is not so easy to deal with. Everyone knows the strength of a Divine Dao expert. Since the Ancient Divine Sect dared to give me a hundred years, they must have absolute confidence."

Li Chengyi said, "There are less than twenty years left. Father, how do you plan to deal with this? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"You have done enough. Now let's see how the Ancient Divine Sect will make its move."

Gu Yuanqing looked up at the outer perimeter of Beiquan Cave Heaven. The dense incense smoke enveloped the entire cave heaven. Over the years, the accumulated incense smoke had become quite substantial.

At present, we are still far from becoming immortals, and the incense smoke can only be used to deduce supernatural powers.

However, he was not in a hurry and had twenty years to accumulate experience. After all, the Dao of Derivation was not something that came out of nothing, but rather something that came from the cultivator's own knowledge and understanding.

The father and son chatted idly for a while.

Li Chengyi then asked, "Father, has Mother already gone to the land beyond the borders?"

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "That's right, and you don't need to worry. Not to mention that the outer realms are much safer now, even if your mother encountered the Chaotic Undying Demon, she would have a way to deal with it. As for you, you need to speed up your cultivation. Of course, you shouldn't just blindly pursue the improvement of your realm. You should also lay a solid foundation, otherwise your cultivation will be twice as difficult and half as effective in the future."

Li Chengyi paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

……

The mountain-carrying tortoise traveled leisurely along the way.

It sleeps for decades and walks for decades, seemingly tireless. It seems to be in a state between sleep and wakefulness, and moving forward seems to have become an instinct.

All around was a vast ocean, and even with Gu Yuanqing's abilities, he could hardly see the end.

At first, they encountered one or two islands where there were still cultivators, but in the end, they were completely alone.

On this day, a giant sea monster suddenly rose from the depths of the sea. This monster was like a giant octopus, with twelve tentacles hanging down from the sides and bottom of its body.

Its body was enormous, even larger than the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle. It immediately used its tentacles to tightly bind the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, and opened its huge mouth as if to devour it.

There seemed to be a special force field within the tentacles that influenced the way of space; when they were locked, it was as if the entire divine turtle was being compressed and shrunk.

The mountain-carrying divine tortoise fought a great battle with them, stirring up towering waves.

During the great battle between the two, Qian Yuan Island was in turmoil, which made it difficult for the Divine Turtle of Mount Fu to maintain the balance of the island in the fierce battle.

This is the first demon that Gu Yuanqing has ever seen that can rival his body and strength.

Moreover, Gu Yuanqing could clearly sense that although this octopus-like behemoth was powerful, it was not very intelligent, and all its fighting was instinctive.

Its eyes were filled with the sense of a wild beast catching its prey. It could not be considered a demon, but rather an ancient behemoth living in the sea. Its supernatural powers were driven by instinct, and it did not possess any immortality.

The two fought for a short time, with neither able to gain the upper hand. Seeing that Qian Yuan Island was affected, Gu Yuanqing immediately made his move.

He borrowed the power of Beiquan Cave and unleashed his full strength, using the Four Phases Sword of Calamity Suppression to cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Under the sword light, all of its tentacles were severed. The giant octopus was frightened and spewed out a sky full of black water, obscuring the view and blocking divine sense.

The mountain-carrying divine tortoise roared, opened its huge mouth and swallowed, the space in front of it rapidly shrank, and the octopus that wanted to escape was swallowed into its belly along with the seawater.

This battle scene gave the cultivators on Qian Yuan Island quite a fright.

For so many years, I have lived on the back of the divine turtle. Because of the turtle's existence, I have been able to go anywhere in the sea without any difficulty. But now, it seems that there is something in the sea that threatens the divine turtle.

Gu Yuanqing sheathed his sword, and saw the octopus's ink fall into the seawater, instantly corrupting countless creatures. Even his divine sense could feel the corrosive effects.

However, the ink could not penetrate the protection of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle. The runes on its body were somewhat impervious to all magic, as if only a much stronger force could break through them.

Gu Yuanqing was slightly amazed. Humans follow the laws of nature. In fact, many of the original supernatural powers of the earliest cultivators came from these magical creatures.

He had spent a lot of time trying to understand the runes on the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, but it seemed that he had never truly grasped their essence.

Gu Yuanqing naturally wouldn't miss out on this ink that could corrode the soul. He used many methods to finally seal away a lot of it for his own use, and also collected a lot of octopus flesh and blood that had been torn apart by the Four Phases Sword Qi of the Calamity Suppression.

Today's scene seems to be the beginning.

The further they went, the more frequently they encountered giant beasts.

Although none of them were as large as the original octopus, giant beasts spanning hundreds of miles were not uncommon.

With a thought, Gu Yuanqing appeared before the head of the Mountain God, cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, may I ask where you are headed?"

This time, the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle did not remain silent. It said in a muffled voice, "The Ruins of Return... The Eye of the Sea... The Spirit Realm!"

Although the words were short, they carried a profound meaning, and Gu Yuanqing understood them immediately.

Deep within this sea lies a sea eye known as the Land of Return to Nothingness. By passing through this place, one can cross the sword mark and enter the spirit realm.

The mountain-carrying tortoise continued its leisurely journey, its body seemingly growing stronger after consuming the octopus.

As they continued forward, the sword marks that stretched across the boundary and were of unknown length became visible in the distance.

The mountain-carrying tortoise has slightly changed its direction of travel. Based on past experience, it may fall into a deep sleep at any time.

Time passes slowly.

Suddenly one day, a huge stone tablet phantom was seen piercing through the heavens and earth in the Linglong Realm.

The Heaven and Earth Stele appears, and the Exquisite Realm returns to its rightful place.

The Ancient Divine Sect.

"The 108 exquisite realms have finally returned to their rightful place!"

Mu Tianheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, sensing that the coordinates of the newly formed Linglong Realm had been lit up within the teleportation array.

With its birth, he could sense the restoration of the Exquisite Array in the Boundary Abyss. The originally expanding Boundary Abyss seemed to be slowly closing, as if the space that was originally like a crack was being smoothed out by a huge force.

Mu Tianheng remained silent for a moment. In the past, the Ancient Divine Sect would have been able to completely free up its resources to deal with its enemies at this time.

But for now, the only option is to remain inactive.

After a long while, he turned around and headed back to the Ancestral Hall.

The mind enters the strange space formed by the interwoven domains of the powerful cultivators of the Primordial Divine Sect.

Seven towering figures stood tall.

The enormous figure shrouded in the illusory image of celestial law lowered its gaze: "How many years have passed?"

“Eighty-three years have passed, and the new Linglong Realm has been restored to its rightful place. The fortune of the Linglong Realm is recovering to its peak,” Mu Tianheng replied.

"How is the chosen one now?"

"He erected statues in various realms, seemingly to cultivate the path of incense offerings, but there has been no indication of him breaking through to the Undying Realm."

"Then we'll wait." "Yes!"

"Go back!"

Mu Tianheng raised his head and said, "Master, I have a request!"

"Hmm?" The statue lowered its gaze, and the invisible pressure made Mu Tianheng unable to move.

Mu Tianheng said, "Nearly 30% of the demonic beast's essence blood has dissipated. If we wait any longer, it may be difficult to open the boundary gate. I humbly request that the patriarch allow this disciple to open the boundary gate!"

The illusory image of the Celestial Bell sharpened its gaze.

Mu Tianheng kept his head down, not daring to make any unusual movements.

After a long while, the towering phantom finally spoke softly: "Wait a little longer."

"Yes!" Mu Tianheng dared not say anything more, and his figure slowly disappeared into the void.

He walked out of the Ancestral Hall and arrived at the eighteenth level of the Demon Suppression Prison.

Li Lingyun, who was sealed on the stone wall, slowly raised his head.

Mu Tianheng said, "I promise you."

Li Lingyun gave a mocking smile: "He won't allow it?"

Mu Tianheng said expressionlessly, "But we only have one chance. If we fail to banish him, we will all die."

Li Lingyun sneered: "Right now, we're just waiting to die anyway. As long as they're still here, which one of them has ever escaped this world? Brother Mu, you should have woken up long ago."

Mu Tianheng said, "I need some time."

"how long?"

"ten years!"

……

The advancement of the new Linglong Realm seems to have injected new vitality into it.

The new realm was named Wusheng Realm.

This world is renowned for its martial arts. With the fall of the Heaven and Earth Stele, the strength of the cultivators here has naturally improved. The highest level of cultivation is known as the Martial Saint, but in terms of strength, he is only equivalent to the seventh level of the Divine Platform.

Not every world can have the same circumstances as the Qian Yuan Realm back then.

The rise of the Martial Victory Realm is more like the tallest among the short. Even with the help of the Heaven and Earth Stele and the Heavenly Ladder, it will still take a long time for it to truly grow. At this point, it is even difficult to bear the power of the Void Heaven level.

These matters are naturally handled by the Great Qian Dynasty, and Li Guanrong doesn't even need to personally concern himself with them.

After all, Li Guanrong was already a Celestial Being at this time, and in the Great Qian Dynasty, those who guarded a region were at least Void Realm cultivators.

The Martial Victory Realm has absolutely no influence on the Qian Yuan Realm; it's more of a matter of curiosity about the new realm.

Gu Yuanqing could sense that the Great Dao of this world seemed to be more stable than before, and these changes made Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the Linglong Realm clearer.

"It seems that the existence of the Linglong Realm is also the foundation of the existence of this world. The fall of the Great Dao of the Rule Artifacts of this world is also related to the Linglong Realm itself."

Observing how a world works is a very meaningful thing for Gu Yuanqing now.

Even though the Great Dao of this world is controlled by the artifacts of rules, there are still many aspects of its strict rules that are worth learning from.

Cultivators are essentially observing and comprehending the universe, thereby perfecting their own world of heaven and man, transforming their own Dao principles in accordance with the universe, and using the power of the inner world to promote their own growth and transformation.

The Demon Realm, the Exquisite Realm, the Cultivation Realm, and the Northern Spring Grotto-Heaven—each of these worlds is unique.

Gu Yuanqing's cultivation speed was so fast because he was comprehending the changes in the rules of different worlds, sensing them from a macroscopic perspective and verifying them from a microscopic perspective, thus continuously improving himself.

Every subtle adjustment to one's own celestial world also improves one's strength, laying a more solid foundation for one's future path to immortality, because only a truly perfect world can give birth to the power of creation.

And as time went by little by little.

As the centennial approached, Gu Yuanqing began to feel a growing sense of urgency.

After all, he was a powerful figure in the divine path, and could not be judged by ordinary standards. Even if he had a way out, who would willingly retreat unless absolutely necessary?
It was precisely because of this pressure that he kept the grudges from when Demon God Mountain forced him to come to his door all to himself and never went to settle them.

At this point, breaking through to a higher realm was no longer very likely, so he focused his attention on cultivating supernatural abilities.

He once again used the Daoist method to deduce his own supernatural powers.

This time, the focus is on the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity Suppression.

This sword technique is originally a method of the illusory immortals, even pointing directly to the path of immortality, and its foundation comes from the Heavenly Dao Scripture written by immortals.

After obtaining it, Gu Yuanqing relied on the legacy of the Heavenly Sword Elder and followed his path.

However, this is still someone else's method; although its power is strong, it may not be in line with one's own path.

After all, Gu Yuanqing's own Dao of Heaven and Man is far more numerous and complete than that of the Heavenly Sword Elder back then. To a certain extent, the Four Phases Sword of the Realm Suppressor can only unleash part of Gu Yuanqing's strength.

He had never used the Daoist method to deduce it, simply because his accumulation was not yet sufficient, and at the same time, the amount of incense energy required for this level of swordsmanship must be enormous. If he rashly made a deduction, he might not be able to achieve his desired result.

Now, after decades of accumulation, the incense offerings are sufficient, and his own experience and knowledge have also grown considerably. Faced with the pressure from the Ancient Divine Sect, he naturally put this on the agenda.

At the summit of Beiquan Mountain, he sat in meditation for seven days, adjusting his state to its peak.

This is what triggered the blessing of Dao Yan.

Within his mind, the pattern of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams appeared, and a vast amount of incense smoke was drawn in from outside the North Spring Cave.

Various scenes flashed through his mind like a fleeting glimpse. In that moment, Gu Yuanqing felt as if he had been cultivating for countless years, practicing swordsmanship every day, with the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity constantly evolving in his hands.

Suddenly, all the illusions vanished, transforming into a torrent of thoughts that merged with Gu Yuanqing's consciousness.

A brand new swordsmanship technique came to mind.

The Sword Scripture of Controlling Calamities and Myriad Manifestations!

This way of swordsmanship encompasses everything, incorporating all of its insights into it.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Dao transforms into the Myriad Laws Returning to Origin Sword, which remains the core of the sword Dao, aligning with the insights gained from the Dao of Manipulating Objects.

The Demon-Sealing Sword Dao transformed into the Eternal Sword of All Realms, which incorporated Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the Dao of Space and the Northern Spring's Suppression of the World.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Dao transformed into the Great Annihilation Calamity Sword, its boundless sharpness carrying the meaning of all paths returning to nothingness, and it was in harmony with the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Dao transformed into the Free and Unfettered Sword, merging the Heart Sword Technique with the Way of Observing Mountains, and incorporating what he gained from battles with numerous Heavenly Demons.

This sword style may seem to be based on the Four Symbols Sword of Calamity Suppression, but in reality, it has already broken through the original barriers!
