I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 795 Paying Homage to the Immortal
The scattered Chaos Flame was withdrawn and fell into Gu Yuanqing's palm, temporarily restoring the deathly silence to this region overrun by demons.

The Heavenly Demons, which were originally scattered in all directions, have disappeared without a trace, while some demonic beasts and demon races are hiding trembling in the depths of their respective lairs, not daring to show their faces at all.

"Humans! Humans have actually come! We thought they were all dead!" Some demons still retain memories passed down through their bloodlines.

Li Miaoxuan stood in mid-air, slightly adjusting her breathing, allowing her soul and consciousness to adapt to the sudden increase in power as much as possible.

She looked at Gu Yuanqing and said, "This battle has caused quite a stir, and the Heavenly Demons are unpredictable; they may be able to sense each other. The nearest Undying Chaotic Heavenly Demon is over two million miles away, but it may also come after hearing the news."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly: "Let it come. Once it comes, we won't have to search for it again."

“That’s true. As long as it’s not a Heavenly Demon at the Void Immortal level, it’s nothing to worry about.” Li Miaoxuan nodded. With what she had gained this time, her cultivation had improved significantly, and she could now fight against the Undying Chaos on her own.

As for Gu Yuanqing, although Li Miaoxuan had never seen Gu Yuanqing go all out, everything in the battle just now was so calm and effortless, his strength was simply unfathomable.

Even when facing a Void Immortal, victory is not impossible, and even if there is danger, we can retreat and deal with it later.

"The hordes of demons in this realm have been wiped out, but there are still some places where demons are lurking. We'll deal with those first. Although the Yin-Yang level is weak, it's better than nothing."

Gu Yuanqing's divine sense spread in all directions, and with the help of the Void-Piercing Heavenly Eye, he found out one by one the Heavenly Demons hiding in the shadows, or even those who had possessed the bodies of demons.

Even after all the detectable demons within this area of ​​millions of miles had been eliminated, no trace of the other Chaotic Undying Demon was found.

He turned to look at Li Miaoxuan beside him and chuckled, "It seems we still have to make the trip ourselves. Do you need to adjust your breathing and stabilize your condition?"

"Yes, your cultivation level is just beginning, your power is still weak and not yet fully integrated with your soul. It will definitely take some time." Li Miaoxuan nodded slightly.

"It's normal that your cultivation has increased too quickly. By the way, do you want to go back to the Qian Yuan Realm first?" Gu Yuanqing asked casually. For him, going back was just a matter of a thought.

In fact, the more Gu Yuanqing used the Heavenly Fishing Technique, the more he felt that this blessing was extraordinary.

Spatial techniques and supernatural powers should consume more energy the farther the distance, and the distance between Beiquan Cave Heaven and this world is immeasurable. However, for the Heavenly Fishing Technique, distance seems to be no problem at all. Opening this realm seems to consume about the same amount of energy as opening a path to a place within reach.

Li Miaoxuan was equally amazed by Gu Yuanqing's spatial abilities.

This means that as long as Gu Yuanqing is willing, he can come and go freely, no matter how dangerous the place or how different the world.

Once the thought arises, one can return to one's own cave dwelling, making one virtually invincible.

But after a moment's thought, she shook her head and said, "Since I have decided to hunt demons and cultivate in this world, I need to adapt to the way of this world. I can use this opportunity to stabilize my realm and also carefully comprehend and conform to the rules of the Great Dao of this world. Moreover, sensing the Great Dao of two different worlds and verifying each other will also benefit my own cultivation."

Gu Yuanqing nodded in agreement. His clone had not returned since arriving in this world, and that was his intention. Although he could not exert the same level of power as in the Spirit Realm, he could still immediately activate the Great Dao of this world when he used various techniques. This was the result of the past month.

At the same time, he was surprised that Li Miaoxuan was able to adapt to this world so quickly.

“Very well. Then I will protect you. I know a place where the scenery is decent and the atmosphere is relatively pure.”

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve, causing the spatial laws to flow, and the two figures disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, they found themselves on a vast lake.

The lake water is clear, the mist is vast, and the water is full of vital energy, nourishing the creatures in the lake.

In the center of the lake lies a lush island, a vibrant place that is a stark contrast to the previous area tainted by demonic energy, as if they were two different worlds.

Li Miaoxuan's divine sense stirred slightly, and she sensed a powerful demonic aura lurking deep within the lake.

She looked at Gu Yuanqing: "Is this the place you mentioned before, the place where that dragon was cultivating in seclusion?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled, his gaze sweeping across the calm lake surface: "Exactly. Those Heavenly Demons seem to be born disliking places with such abundant water, and there are few Heavenly Demons around this lake. Although this place is not the most spiritually beautiful, it is the most suitable quiet place for cultivators to rest within millions of miles of this realm."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Actually, the Heavenly Demon doesn't really like the demon race. In some ways, the demon race is much purer than our human race. Their joys, sorrows, and happiness all come from their true nature, and the law of the jungle is actually more in line with nature. What the Heavenly Demon gains from devouring is naturally not as much as what the human race gains."

“Perhaps that’s why this realm exists, where celestial demons and monsters coexist.” Gu Yuanqing replied, glancing around before choosing a flat blue stone by the water.

"You may meditate here; I will watch over you."

Li Miaoxuan nodded, sat cross-legged on the bluestone, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her cultivation technique. The Celestial Realm enveloped her body, and the Daoist aura around her slowly flowed, stabilizing her aura and harmonizing with her divine soul and the Celestial Realm.

At the same time, it also establishes a deeper connection with this world.

Gu Yuanqing stood quietly by his side, guarding him.

His gaze frequently fell on Li Miaoxuan, wondering what kind of cheat she possessed, or perhaps she had obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter or magical treasure.
At that moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly thought of something.

The Primordial Heaven Furnace, a divine artifact that governs the rules of the Linglong Realm!

In the Linglong Realm, because Gu Yuanqing's strength increased too quickly, the Taigu Divine Sect always suspected that Gu Yuanqing had obtained the power of the Primordial Heavenly Furnace, because this object has the power to refine all things and even change the speed of time.

Every floating realm and exquisite realm is actually enveloped by the power of this object. The so-called Primordial Demon Refining Array also relies on the power of the Primordial Heavenly Furnace.

Back then, the flow of time in the Qian Yuan Realm differed greatly from that in the outside world, but when Bei Quan Cave Heaven fell into the Demon Realm, the time of the two became completely unified.

Gu Yuanqing had always thought that the reason why the Demon Refining Array in the Qian Yuan Realm stopped operating was because of Beiquan Mountain. But now he suddenly realized that when Beiquan Mountain broke through the void and connected to the Demon Realm, it seemed to be the time when the Path to Heaven opened and Li Miaoxuan left the Qian Yuan Realm.

Could it be that Li Miaoxuan obtained the power of the Primordial Furnace, and her departure led to the changes in the Qian Yuan Realm?

Although this is just Gu Yuanqing's guess, it seems that it is at least possible.

However... even if his guess is true, the Primordial Furnace may only be one of Li Miaoxuan's opportunities. The Primordial Furnace is a divine artifact of the rules, and its power will be greatly reduced after leaving the Linglong Realm. However, it may explain why Li Miaoxuan's strength has increased by leaps and bounds after killing the Heavenly Demon, but it will not bring Li Miaoxuan so many magical treasures!

These thoughts swirled in Gu Yuanqing's mind, but after a while, he put them aside and stopped thinking about them.

What kind of opportunity Li Miaoxuan obtained was not important. What was important was that he believed she must have had a way to cover it up, otherwise she wouldn't have remained unnoticed in the Lingxu Sect for so many years.

Today, she has revealed it to him, which is a sign of her trust in him, and he will naturally not betray that trust. Moreover, the two of them are already Daoist partners, and with the existence of countless offspring such as Li Chengyi, Li Guanrong, and Gu Siyuan, they are already inseparable.

The stronger Li Miaoxuan becomes, the better it will be for herself and for her entire family.

With such good fortune, she may be able to truly keep up with her own pace on the path of enlightenment!

In the future... perhaps we will no longer walk alone on the path of life, but can watch over and help each other.

How fortunate we are!
A smile appeared on Gu Yuanqing's face. Suddenly, he felt that the workings of life were truly amazing.

Aside from their first meeting, which is still unknown, their life paths originally had no intersection.

She was the emperor's daughter, the most outstanding prodigy of the Lingxu Sect. He, on the other hand, although born into a royal family, was merely an illegitimate child. In fact, if his parents hadn't died young in this world, he wouldn't even have been qualified to live in the royal family.

But these two people, due to an accident, began to intersect in their life trajectories, and they are both considered to be the most special two people in the Qian Yuan Realm!

The fact that two such beings could be born in a floating world is something even he himself finds unbelievable.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the lake surface, where a water snake cautiously poked its head out and looked at Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and raised his hand to grab at the air.

The water snake was terrified and fled in panic.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to have a chat with you."

But the water snake dared not believe it. It used its water-controlling technique to head towards the bottom of the lake, its form transforming into that of a dragon before disappearing into the water.

Indeed, this water snake is the celestial-shattering dragon beneath this lake, and can be considered the master of this lake spanning thousands of miles.

It sensed the battle between humans and demons but dared not intervene, only watching from afar. It was terrified to see two human experts slaughtering all the demons around them.

Legend has it that its ancestors had seen humans. Humans were brutal and fierce, and demons were used as materials for alchemy. Until one day, a celestial demon descended, and this world changed. There were no more traces of humans. This was the first time it had ever seen humans.

He thought to himself: "I was right. Even the immortal Heavenly Demon seems to have died at the hands of these two."

After the great battle ended, it was found to be unharmed hidden beneath its underwater cave, seemingly unconcerned by the humans' lack of intention to cause it trouble, which relieved it.

Unexpectedly, not long after, these two humans actually came to its waters.

This terrified it. Was it going to suffer the same fate as its ancestors? But after a long time, it didn't see any humans coming down to cause trouble. So it decided to hide its presence and come up to investigate.

But as soon as it showed itself, it was discovered by the humans, which frightened it so much that it used all its strength to escape.

How could a mere demon race at the Shattered Heaven Realm possibly escape Gu Yuanqing's grasp?
The dragon used water escape techniques to merge with the water, but the next second it was forced out of the lake by Gu Yuanqing's palm, and a huge mountain suppressed it so that it could not move at all.

At this moment, it regretted all its actions. Why couldn't it have stayed peacefully in its underwater cave? Why did it have to come up here to die?

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuanqing sent out an array plate, which enveloped Li Miaoxuan and simultaneously set up a spatial protection method.

Even though there were no Heavenly Demons here, and Li Miaoxuan was still wearing the Void Immortal Robe, she still wanted to be careful and didn't want to disturb her cultivation because of external affairs.

Then, he raised his hand and summoned the dragon, which had already transformed into its true form and was dozens of miles long, to the island.

The closer the dragon got to the island, the smaller its body became. When it arrived on the island, it was only a few feet long, and its eyes were full of panic.

I could feel the fear emanating from the dragon, and its body was even trembling.

"I'm releasing your restraints. Don't try to escape again, or else..." Gu Yuanqing's tone was calm, but his final glance at the dragon was slightly cold, and that one glance seemed to frighten it so much that its heartbeat seemed to stop.

Gu Yuanqing's eyes twitched involuntarily.

Am I so terrible?

You're supposed to be a great demon in the Shattered Heaven Realm, yet you're so cowardly.

Gu Yuanqing even wondered if revealing his murderous intent would scare the dragon to death.

He slowly released Bei Quanzhen Shiyin's pressure on the dragon.

The dragon's massive body trembled stiffly at first, confirming that Gu Yuanqing had indeed released his restraints, before it moved cautiously.

Its body surged with demonic energy, and as it flashed with light, its size rapidly shrank until it finally took on a human form.

However... this transformation technique is clearly extremely clumsy.

The man who appeared was tall with a blurry face. There were still a few bluish-black scales on his forehead, and his hands and feet were somewhat unnatural. Overall, he looked very awkward.

It seemed to sense that it was taller than Gu Yuanqing, which was a bit odd, so it quickly shrank back a few feet. Then, it tremblingly bowed down, almost burying its head in the ground, and stammered in a strange tone:

"Little...little...demon...pays farewell to...immortal!"

These few words were so short that if Gu Yuanqing hadn't been able to sense their meaning through divine perception, he wouldn't have known what they were saying at all, relying solely on hearing.

Gu Yuanqing tried to keep his expression gentle and said, "Don't panic. I asked you to come here just to ask you some questions and to understand the situation in this realm."

Sensing the calmness in Gu Yuanqing's tone, the man transformed from a dragon seemed to be in slightly better condition, but he still dared not raise his head and cautiously replied, "Immortal, please ask. This humble demon will certainly answer without reservation! However, this humble demon usually stays in the depths of the lake, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. I dare not go out casually, and I am afraid that my knowledge is limited and may cause you to miss important matters."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "It's alright. Tell me as much as you know. How much do you know about the Heavenly Demons and the human race in this realm?"
