I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 787 Suppression, Facing the True God

According to Gu Yuanqing's perception, outside the Qian Yuan Realm, a huge lotus phantom appeared, its petals unfolding, and a figure stood within it, enveloped by the phantom of the Heavenly Law Bell.

As soon as he appeared, countless calamities arose out of thin air in this extraterrestrial space-time, rapidly growing stronger.

"The soul of a powerful being in the Divine Path!" Gu Yuanqing recognized it at a glance.

This kind of aura has already exceeded the limits of a cultivator.

Moreover, just by looking at the illusory image of the Heavenly Law Bell, one can tell that this person comes from the Primordial Divine Sect. If I'm not mistaken, he should also be cultivating the Primordial Calamity True Scripture.

"Has it finally arrived?" Gu Yuanqing asked calmly.

He had anticipated this possibility when he sensed the unusual activity within the Divine Ruins.

When Gu Yuanqing sensed the other party, their auras resonated, and Zhuo Ming also immediately felt it.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself, "As expected of the chosen one of the Linglong Realm, even though he is only at the Shattered Heaven Realm, he can sense the approaching danger and detect my arrival. It seems that my previous judgment that he controlled the Primordial Heaven Furnace was correct, otherwise the Void Lotus Platform would not have been unable to directly teleport me inside."

But Zhuo Ming didn't have any further thoughts. Even if Gu Yuanqing was the chosen one and controlled the Primordial Heavenly Furnace, he was still just a cultivator at the Shattered Heaven Realm. As for him, even though his physical body was gone, as a powerful being of the Divine Path, there was no one in the Linglong Realm who could contend with him.

The only thought in his mind was that it was a pity that he hadn't waited until the time when the physical body was perfected and the tribulation was over. If he had occupied it then, he could have saved countless efforts. But now that he had occupied it, he still had to consume his own divine power to make up for the deficiencies in the physical body and become a divine embryo.

Only in this way can one borrow the calamity energy of heaven and earth to conceal the secrets of heaven, and at the same time completely merge one's own divine personality with one's physical body, thus truly completing the possession. Only in this way can one continue the path of cultivation by using this physical body.

But now, he no longer has that opportunity.

Or rather, from the moment he stepped out of the Ancestral Hall and used his power, he had no choice.

This is completely different from the last time he used his power to summon the Ancient Realm. The Ancient Realm is a separate world with strange rules, and he will not be in danger if he enters with a split of his spirit.

The Linglong Realm simply cannot contain a powerhouse at the Divine Path level. Once such a powerhouse appears, it will immediately trigger a reaction from the Great Dao of this great world.

If he hadn't been cultivating the Primordial Calamity Scripture, perhaps divine punishment would have already descended upon him!
Zhuo Ming took a step and arrived in front of the membrane of the Qian Yuan Realm. When his divine sense landed on the membrane, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The strength of the boundary membrane is closely related to the strength of a world. Moreover, the Qian Yuan Realm has only been upgraded from the Floating Realm for about three hundred years, yet its strength has reached such a level.

However, this naturally couldn't stop him.

He pressed his palm against the boundary membrane, his body transformed into a phantom, and then stepped directly into it.

The Qian Yuan Realm is one of the Linglong Great Worlds, and he cultivates the Great Dao and the Membrane of this world, so it will not hinder his entry.

As he stepped into the Linglong Realm, his brow twitched involuntarily.

The principles governing this world seem rather strange!
"Could it be that the power of the Primordial Furnace has taken over the world's dominance?"

A thought flashed through his mind, but he did not delve into it. It was clearly not the time to study these things now, because the calamity energy was condensing even faster after entering the Linglong Realm, and the power of heavenly punishment was probably about to descend.

Only by quickly taking over Gu Yuanqing's body and using it as a furnace can the secrets of heaven be concealed.

If we are too slow, the Heavenly Tribulation will take shape. Even if we manage to seize a new furnace, the top of the furnace will likely be destroyed under the Heavenly Tribulation.

In the current Linglong Realm, there is no one more suitable than Gu Yuanqing, who was born with destiny.

Zhuo Ming looked up and instantly locked onto the existence of Beiquan Mountain. This was the source of this world and the place where fortune was gathered. The incense smoke that lingered in the mountain was extremely conspicuous in the eyes of this master of the divine path.

At that moment, he vaguely saw a figure on the mountaintop looking at him from afar, with an extremely solemn expression.

With one step, he traversed thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the foot of the mountain. Without the slightest hesitation, he entered the mountain and stood a hundred feet away from Gu Yuanqing in the void.

But even before he entered Beiquan Cave Heaven, a strange feeling flashed through his mind.

However, at this moment, because he was entangled by the aura of calamity, the secrets of heaven were obscured, and the secrets of the Dao were naturally clouded, he was so preoccupied with the desire to seize the furnace that he did not notice anything amiss.

He stood in the void, looking down at Gu Yuanqing, his divine sense sweeping across the four directions.

"Such dense spiritual energy, such exquisite formations! Even I, a god, find it difficult to decipher using the power of the Primordial Furnace. This mountain is truly remarkable, and it seems my luck is equally good."

His gaze finally settled on Gu Yuanqing, who stood quietly on the edge of the cliff. His eyes were filled with possessiveness, as if he were admiring a rare treasure.

However, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes the next moment.

His divine sense could not penetrate the other party's body, making it difficult for him to see through the other party's true nature.

This furnace, which he had long considered his for the taking, seemed to be even more interesting than he had anticipated.

But this did not put him on guard; instead, it made him even more delighted. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! What a perfect furnace! Although it is not yet complete, the divine embryo forged from this foundation is enough to allow me to resume my path and climb the peak of divinity once more!"

His gaze was lowered, like a god looking down at an ant.

"Boy... Oh, Gu Yuanqing, you may exhaust your entire life and waste countless years, yet you still might not be able to glimpse the path to divinity. Now, I, the god, borrow your body to ascend to a higher realm, allowing your insignificant form to bear the glory of a true god... This is an honor you could never attain in several lifetimes!"

His tone was arrogant, as if taking your body was a favor to you.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that the solemn expression that Gu Yuanqing had been deliberately maintaining on his face had melted away like ice and snow, and was replaced by a bottomless calm.

Gu Yuanqing slowly raised his head, his gaze clear, and said calmly, "If you were outside the mountains, I might not have been able to do much about you. But who told you... to come in on your own?" "Come in?" Zhuo Ming was taken aback at first, then seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

However, his laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression changed drastically!
Because he suddenly discovered that his connection with the Heavenly Law Bell, the divine artifact of the Nine Heavens, had suddenly disappeared.

His pupils contracted slightly, and then, deep within his soul, a phantom of a Heavenly Law Bell, formed from pure Dao principles and interwoven with countless runes, suddenly lit up, radiating immense divine power. This was the divine status of someone who had achieved true godhood.

"Hmph! Even if you use the power of the Primordial Furnace to isolate yourself from the Great Dao and cannot borrow the power of the divine artifacts of the rules, I have already condensed a divine spark and become a true god! How could you, a mere Shattering Heaven Realm cultivator, possibly fathom my existence? Today, I will show you the difference between gods and mortals! Remember, my name is Zhuo Ming, which will also be the name of this body of yours in the future!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhuo Ming made a sudden move!
He pointed his finger, and the power of his soul activated the phantom of the divine essence. A divine light, condensed with the true meaning of the Heavenly Laws' imprisonment, transformed into an invisible shackle. Accompanied by the majestic sound of the Dao, it instantly enveloped Gu Yuanqing, intending to seal his soul and body together!
This strike contained his own understanding of the laws of the Great Dao. Although it was not as vast and boundless as when he used a divine artifact, it was still far beyond the understanding of ordinary Shattering Heaven Realm cultivators and was enough to easily suppress cultivators below the Divine Path.

Faced with this strike containing the true meaning of the laws, Gu Yuanqing simply shook his head slightly. He didn't even move his feet, only his thoughts stirred slightly.

"town."

A soft whisper seemed to flip a switch that turned on the entire world.

Zhuo Ming felt as if everything around him had suddenly come to life and was filled with hostility towards him!
The rocks beneath his feet, the flowing clouds and mist, the gentle breeze, and even the spiritual energy permeating the air... all these tangible and intangible things transformed into an extension of Gu Yuanqing's will at this moment, becoming a cage that imprisoned him!

His divine light shackles, imbued with the laws of heaven, were worn down and disintegrated layer by layer by the omnipresent power of the cave heaven before they even touched Gu Yuanqing, shattering in vain like waves crashing against an ancient rock.

"What?!" Zhuo Ming's pupils shrank sharply. He felt his power being suppressed and repelled in this world.

It was as if the path he cultivated was itself a "mistake" in this place!
Gu Yuanqing slowly raised his hand, neither forming a hand seal nor casting a spell, but it was just a simple movement, yet it seemed to stir up the power of the entire Beiquan Cave Heaven.

He looked at Zhuo Ming, slightly curled his fingers, and gently pressed down.

"Om-!"

The sky above Zhuo Ming's head seemed to collapse!

This is not an energy bombardment, but the immense pressure of the entire space itself!
His body was surrounded by a dazzling divine light, and the phantom of the Heavenly Law Bell that manifested from his divine essence emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

He felt like a flying insect thrown into amber, everything around him frozen, turning into an invisible barrier weighing billions of tons, crushing him from all directions, trying to completely suppress him!
He mobilized all his divine power, causing the phantom of the divine bell to vibrate wildly, attempting to stabilize the laws around him and break the shackles with his own understanding of the Heavenly Laws. However, in this world completely controlled by others, his Dao was like a pebble thrown into the ocean, only able to create insignificant ripples before being swallowed up by a more vast will.

"How is this possible?"

Zhuo Ming's soul began to twist and deform under the terrifying pressure, and his face was filled with extreme horror and disbelief.

At this moment, it was as if Gu Yuanqing, the person in front of him, was a powerful being, while he himself was just an ant, completely unable to shake him.

He couldn't understand this power, and it seemed completely different from the power of the Primordial Heavenly Furnace. Although he had never truly witnessed the power of the Primordial Heavenly Furnace, as a member of the Ancient Divine Sect, he had relevant records within the sect and could roughly make a judgment.

His struggles and roars, fueled by divine power, had long since abandoned any thought of seizing another body; instead, he wanted to escape. However, in the face of the immense power of heaven and earth, his strength seemed somewhat pale and powerless.

After all, he was only the soul of a true god and could not be considered a true god. When the power of the Heavenly Law Bell was cut off by the Northern Spring Cave Heaven, his power dropped further, and he was only comparable to a demigod (virtual immortal). How could he compare to the power of a cave heaven?
In the end, his soul was completely compressed, transforming into a small, exquisite Heavenly Bell the size of a thumb, constructed from countless intricate runes, while the majestic phantom of the Northern Spring enveloped it.

On this day, the bell gently landed in Gu Yuanqing's palm.

His divine sense probed out, but was blocked outside the Heavenly Law Bell. He only heard the voice in fear: "Who are you? You can't be an ordinary cultivator. The Linglong Realm can't produce someone like you. Yes, you must be from the Law Source Realm!"

Gu Yuanqing ignored it and instead used his Heavenly Eye of Insight and Mountain Observation Technique to observe the Heavenly Bell.

However, it was difficult to see clearly under the divine light, and when he sensed it with the Divine Intent Spirit Analysis Technique, the phantom of the Heavenly Law Bell immediately appeared in his mind. Gu Yuanqing dared not let it take root in his mind, so he immediately destroyed it with the Art of Controlling Objects.

At the same time, after being compressed to this extent, the Heavenly Bell constructed of runes became incredibly sturdy, and even the power of the Northern Spring Cave Heaven could not compress it again.

"Is this the divine spark of a powerful being on the path of divinity? To condense one's own Great Dao with the power of a divine artifact of rules is completely different from the path taken by the cultivation world. And powerful beings on the path of divinity are indeed extraordinary. Even if they are just divine souls, they are far superior to ordinary cultivators!"

Gu Yuanqing's heart tightened slightly.

Indeed, he easily suppressed this powerful cultivator from the Ancient Divine Sect today, but the fundamental reason was that the other party entered the Northern Spring Cave Heaven!
However, it can be learned from Li Lingyun that there is more than one powerful expert in the Divine Path of the Ancient Divine Sect. After this incident, the other party will definitely be more cautious and will probably not dare to enter the Beiquan Cave Heaven again.

If they were to clash outside the cave, Gu Yuanqing wouldn't be very confident of victory. Even if he wasn't afraid, a major battle would likely destroy the entire Qian Yuan Realm, which was not what he wanted.

A thought suddenly struck Gu Yuanqing. He first completely suppressed the divine spark, and then entered the Spirit Mountain Trial with a thought.

The Northern Spring Cave will imprint the mark of all cultivators who enter it, and since Zhuo Ming has entered, it should be the same.

Now, all the powerful figures who had previously set foot in Beiquan Cave Heaven have been defeated by Gu Yuanqing. There are no other cultivators above him, so it is very likely that the one he will face when he enters is this powerful figure from the Divine Path!
As expected.

After Gu Yuanqing entered the Spirit Mountain Trial, he saw Zhuo Ming standing on the opposite mountain peak. This time, he was no longer just a soul, but had a physical body. His face was expressionless, and his whole body was shrouded in the phantom of the Heavenly Law Bell.

The two were ten miles apart.

Gu Yuanqing made a sword gesture, and the Myriad Manifestations Sword of Calamity moved accordingly, instantly crossing ten miles to appear in front of Zhuo Ming.

The illusory image of the Heavenly Law Bell unfolded, and the sword shadows shattered. Even the Great Annihilation Tribulation Sword could hardly break through the Heavenly Law Bell's defense.

Of course, this was just a test. Gu Yuanqing was about to unleash his full power when he suddenly saw a flash of light in the other party's eyes.

Immediately, he felt his mind filled with the image of a huge bell. The image grew larger and larger, taking over everything and suffocating him. Then he lost all sensation, and his mind had withdrawn from the Ling Mountain Trial.

He opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints before dilating again, and then he began to breathe heavily, feeling as if the Celestial Bell was still present in his mind...
