The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 68: Going to the Land of Demons
Gu Yuan entered the Baoyuan realm ten months ago. After that, he practiced in the sect for another month before going out for training.

The last time I heard from him was when Gu Yuan defeated Murong Qingcheng at the Lanyue Tower headquarters. More than a month later, he broke through to the peak of the early Baoyuan Realm. Now, only six or seven months have passed.

How did he break through to the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm so quickly?

You know, except for Sikong Sheng and Yan Chihuo, the cultivation levels of other major disciples of other sects are generally only at the peak of the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm, and none of them has reached the late stage of Baoyuan Realm.

Doesn’t this mean that Gu Yuan’s cultivation has caught up?
"Humph, you only know how to covet temporary gains and have not switched to practicing the top-level earth-level skills. Now there is only a year and a half left before the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition. By the time you come out of the Ghost Service Land, even if you switch to practicing, it will be too late to practice the Tongtian Magic Skill to a high level."

It was no secret in the Feitian Demon Sect that Gu Yuan did not switch to practicing the top-level Earth-grade techniques. Mo Yan felt that Gu Yuan was coveting the highest level of mid-level Earth-grade techniques for the convenience of practicing them. While he was feeling fortunate, he couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingcheng secretly shook her head in her heart. Her senior brother was really becoming more and more crazy. He was almost unable to recognize himself. She didn't know if he could still maintain this confidence when he really faced Gu Yuan in the near future.

Wu Liangyu glanced at his so-called eldest senior brother. No, in the near future he might become the second senior brother or even the third senior brother. He also didn't think that Mo Yan would be Gu Yuan's opponent. As for Murong Qingcheng, although she is not as strong as Mo Yan now, she has the advantage of age. As long as she can improve her Heavenly Demon Technique to the ninth level one day, it will only be a matter of time before she surpasses Mo Yan.

Swish!
The black airflow disappeared, and Gu Yuan appeared next to the Great Elder and Ling Xue's Master, and said respectfully: "Great Elder. Second Elder." Now Ling Xue's master has become the second elder of the inner sect.

The Great Elder nodded and said, "You came at the right time. If you don't come back, I will send someone to look for you. I hope you can gain more from the opening of the Ghost Service Land this time."

"Yes, Great Elder. My goal for this Hidden Dragon Ranking is to be number one."

Gu Yuan stated his goal directly.

"Okay, you have ambition, but ambition alone is not enough. There are countless geniuses in Nanzhuo Domain, and you are not the only one who has made progress. Everyone is working hard to cultivate. In addition, this is the dragon fruit prepared for you by the sect. When we set off, you will be by our side. Refining this will help you improve your cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm."

As the Great Elder spoke, a faint light flashed from his storage spirit ring, and he took out a red fruit the size of a longan, full of spiritual energy.

Gu Yuan thanked them again and came to Murong Qingcheng and others.

"Second senior brother."

Ling Xue was the first to step forward and say hello, without any embarrassment at all.

Wu Liangyu nodded towards Gu Yuan. Even though he had let it go after losing to Gu Yuan for the second time in the last Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, he still couldn't bring himself to call him "senior brother".

Gu Yuan nodded to them and his eyes fell on Murong Qingcheng. Murong Qingcheng smiled and said, "Do you want me to call you Senior Brother?"

"Forget it. It sounds weird. Just call me Gu Yuan." Gu Yuan shook his head and stood aside. As for Mo Yan, the other party never gave him a good look from beginning to end, and he was too lazy to say hello to him.

Mo Yan's face instantly turned cold. In the past, which disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect would not call him "Big Brother" when he saw him? But Gu Yuan didn't even say hello. Did the other party think that he had surpassed him?

Well, it looks like you are planning to change your cultivation method after the Ghost Service Land ends. Once you come out of the Ghost Service Land, even if you don't change your cultivation method, the sect leaders will ask you to do so. During the period of changing your cultivation method, your cultivation level will not be improved much. I hope you can still be as arrogant as you are now.

Mo Yan regained his confidence.

Gu Yuan looked calm and didn't know what Mo Yan was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. To him, this guy was just a petty clown with a little talent.

He and Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect, are essentially of the same type. His talent is even inferior to Lin Yun.

For this kind of person, you only need to defeat him once in public, and he will become obedient and then sink.

After a while, everyone set off.

This time the escort team was exceptionally large, with eight inner sect elders in the late Star Realm stage, twelve outer sect elders in the middle Star Realm stage, and twenty-four outer sect elders at the peak of the early Star Realm stage, forty-four Star Realm powerhouses in total.

Riding on sixteen level seven flying monster beasts, they broke through the clouds.

The night slowly fell, the moon was like a round disk, and the sky was filled with stars.

Gu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the back of the flying monster in the center, protected by the four inner sect elders of the Feitian Demon Sect, led by the Grand Elder.

After restoring his energy and spirit to the peak, he lightly touched the storage spirit ring with his finger, and a dragon fruit appeared in Gu Yuan's hand. The fruit was crystal clear, and there were fine lines on the skin. If you look closely, you can find that the lines are not scattered and disordered, but spread out in lines. At first glance, it looks like a dragon pattern outlined by simple lines, with a hint of mystery.

"My fellow elders, I'll trouble you to protect me from now on."

Gu Yuan greeted the four elders, and without much hesitation, he picked up the dragon fruit and put it into his mouth.

Gulu!

Once you bite through the skin, the dragon fruit melts in your mouth and turns into liquid to be swallowed whole.

Suddenly, a gentle breath spread out, and Gu Yuan used all his strength to practice the Third Revolution of Zhongyuan Gong. Without any deliberate refining, the medicinal power of the dragon fruit was immediately transformed into spiritual energy that was not inferior to the true qi, and was naturally absorbed by the true qi vortex in the Dantian.

A few hours later, Gu Yuan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.

"Thank you, elders, for protecting my disciples."

At this moment, Gu Yuan's cultivation has advanced from the middle stage of Bao Yuan Realm to the peak of the middle stage of Bao Yuan Realm, and his true energy has become more than 30% stronger.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm free anyway. Besides, you are the most talented disciple of my Feitian Demon Sect in hundreds of years. It's only natural for me to protect you and improve your cultivation."

The other three elders nodded in agreement. The great elder continued, "It will take three days to reach Ghost Island. You were not in the sect before, so you may not know much about this place. Before that, let me introduce it to you. The Ghost Service Land is located in a hidden space gap in the Star Domain Lake. It opens once every ten years."

"It's very complicated inside. Opportunities may appear in the mountains, underwater, and underground. There are countless places to enter. Sometimes a tree hole may be the entrance, sometimes you need to move a big rock, and sometimes you can get in by jumping off a cliff. Of course, compared to opportunities, it is also full of dangers. I am more relieved that you can walk out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. But you must remember an unwritten rule."
