"Should we try to dissuade them?"
Watching Gu Yong's figure disappear, Shi Wujian spoke softly.
"There's no need. Gu Yong is arrogant and disdainful of others, treating the geniuses of the Immortal Sect as nothing. He'll suffer a great loss sooner or later if he continues like this. It's better to let him run into a snag," Che Zhengyuan said calmly.
"I'm afraid that Gu Yong will fight to the very end and cause some trouble, regardless of the consequences," Shi Wujian sighed.
"Brother Shi, what do you mean?" Zhu Wu's eyelids twitched, his eyes showing considerable surprise.
"Better safe than sorry." Che Zhengyuan took a step and entered the True Realm.
Gu Yong possesses numerous powerful artifacts and is favored by the Gu family's higher-ups. He has always been lawless and unruly. If he were to accidentally use his fifth-tier Yuan Talisman to protect himself and injure Chen Beiwu, things would escalate dramatically!
After all, it was his praise of Chen Beiwu that went too far, comparing him to Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, which displeased Gu Yong.
If things really escalate, he won't be able to escape responsibility either.
Upon seeing this scene, Shi Wujian and Zhu Wu exchanged a glance, both becoming interested.
Previously, they had explored from across a realm. Although they could sense the collision between Chen Beiwu's Primordial Dharma Image and Bai Qiwu's Holy Weapon, they ultimately failed to get a clear view.
Since Gu Yong took the initiative this time, they could watch from the sidelines and find out more about Chen Beiwu's background.
"Brother Zhu, do you think Brother Gu can defeat Chen Beiwu?" Zhu Wu's eyes flickered slightly.
Honestly, he had no confidence in defeating Chen Beiwu in the Cangyuan Realm.
Conversely, when facing Chen Beiwu in the Immortal Alliance, with the power of the Dao Fruit, he was 50% confident of suppressing him.
If their cultivation levels were the same, Zhu Wu could increase her chances of success to 80%.
Gu Yong was inferior to Zhu Wu in strength. In his opinion, Gu Yong's chances of winning were slim, and he would most likely suffer a great loss at Chen Beiwu's hands.
"How difficult! This generation of Yuqing Immortal Sect has truly produced a peerless genius who has achieved great things."
Shi Wujian shook his head and, together with Zhu Wu, activated their escape light to enter the True Realm.
On the other side, Chen Beiwu frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.
A streak of light swept across the horizon and landed in front of him, revealing a tall, slender cultivator with an expressionless face.
"As expected, trouble is brewing!" Chen Beiwu thought to himself, not at all surprised.
Before Gu Yong appeared, he had already used his Heavenly Ear Mystic Power to hear the former's whereabouts.
"Taiyin Cave Heaven, Gu Yong."
Gu Yong stepped out from the moonlight, his gaze fixed on Chen Beiwu.
"I met Chen Beiwu of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect once before at the Nascent Soul Ceremony. I wonder what guidance Fellow Daoist Gu has for me?"
Chen Beiwu remained unmoved, ignoring the faint oppressive aura emanating from Gu Yong.
"Some say you are comparable to Gu Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of Taiyin. I would like to ask you for your guidance."
Gu Yong's tone was polite, yet it carried an undeniable domineering air, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.
"???"
A strange light flashed in Chen Beiwu's eyes.
What's wrong with Gu Yong? There's a reason for this; he's using other people's words to frame himself.
Does that mean that just because others are not easy to bully, I am?
Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Gu Yong, his aura not inferior to Gu Yong's, and even slightly superior.
He certainly has some skill; no wonder he earned Che Zhengyuan's praise.
Gu Yong's eyes darkened, and he dared not be careless. Even the Youming Xuanli on his shoulder got up.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Just then, three figures suddenly appeared and landed around Chen Beiwu and Gu Yong.
"Are you going to stop me?" Gu Yong's tone turned cold as he looked at Che Zhengyuan and the other two.
"No, no."
Shi Wujian shook his head and took a step back to show his attitude: "That earth unicorn is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the fifth realm of demon lord. It's a rare opportunity, and I want to observe it here. Perhaps I can gain some insights."
"Absolutely, absolutely."
Che Zhengyuan looked at Chen Beiwu with great interest and nodded slightly, which could be considered as a greeting.
"You don't need to pay attention to the three of us, do as you please," Zhu Wu said generously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yong's expression softened, and he turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu, challenging him, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you dare to fight me and determine who is superior?"
The Upper Three Immortal Sects are also Immortal Sects.
Gu Yong was born in the Taiyin Grotto Heaven and was the chief of the grotto heaven. Even the chief of the immortal sects could hardly catch his eye.
The reason he knew of Chen Beiwu's reputation was simply because of the invitation to the grotto-heaven that the Holy Maiden had made an exception for.
In his eyes, Chen Beiwu, a peasant from a remote place, even if he had cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, what merit did he have to be valued by the Holy Maiden of Taiyin?
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Chen Beiwu gave Gu Yong a deep look: "How do you want to spar?"
"We will spar using the rules of the Contending Realm, but you may use one Xuan Treasure below the fifth rank," Gu Yong said calmly.
Although he was arrogant and looked down on Chen Beiwu, he would not underestimate his opponent and even took the initiative to set a rule that was advantageous to himself.
"Alright, to avoid the situation of the strong bullying the weak, Fellow Daoist Gu shall make the first move."
As soon as Chen Beiwu finished speaking, Gu Yong's expression remained unchanged, while Che Zhengyuan and the other two all smiled slightly, their eyes flashing with amusement.
What a blatant case of the older bullying the younger! In terms of age and seniority, Gu Yong is far superior to Chen Beiwu. Chen Beiwu's words were full of sarcasm.
Of course, this statement isn't entirely wrong.
Immortal Alliance cultivators have always judged each other by strength, not by age.
Chen Beiwu's cultivation level was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Gu Yong was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It was only natural that they were called adults.
"Verbal sparring is useless against me."
Gu Yong stretched out his palm and slapped Chen Beiwu.
He knew that Chen Beiwu cultivated the Primordial Immortal Technique and was highly skilled, even able to suppress the Law-Breaking True Monarch Xiao Yu, but so what?
At his level of cultivation, he could activate the so-called immortal techniques with a single thought, and he was no less capable than Chen Beiwu.
boom!
Gu Yong's palm glowed, and with a single strike, he drew upon the radiance of the moon, causing it to fall from the sky, capable of destroying mountains and rivers.
Upon seeing this, the eyes of Che Zhengyuan and the other two flickered.
The power of the Taiyin Divine Palm is extraordinary, having already reached the minor completion stage. Even if they want to defend against it, they must be cautious. It is unknown how Chen Beiwu will respond.
At the same time, Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.
The other party actually wanted to capture him with one palm strike—what blatant contempt!
Could it be that the chief of Taiyin Cave Heaven can't see the difference between them?
With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu ignored the palm that was pressing down from the sky, and with a flick of his wrist, he gripped the Cold Yuan Dragon Blade at his waist.
The Xuan Blade given to him by Uncle Xiao was useful, but it lacked a blade spirit, making it difficult to unleash his Lingxiao Blade Intent to its fullest potential.
Now that someone wants to act as a whetstone, Chen Beiwu naturally won't miss this rare opportunity.
"Clang!"
Chen Beiwu drew the Frost Dragon Blade and unleashed a powerful slash, unleashing a magnificent and boundless burst of Frost Dragon Ice energy.
"Snap, snap!"
As their blades clashed, Gu Yong let out a muffled groan, his eyes subtly shifting.
Suddenly, his fair, jade-like palm was covered with thick, dark ice, and a faint bloodstain appeared in the center of his palm. Just as the blood was about to flow out, it was frozen into icy frost.
What kind of mysterious blade is this? A heaven-reaching treasure?
A hint of confusion flashed in Gu Yong's eyes, and then he saw the sharp blade light cleave his palm open, freezing him into frost with overwhelming force.
In an instant, a lifelike, immobile ice sculpture came into view.
"Gu Yong has been defeated just like that?"
Zhu Wu was startled, but quickly realized what was happening and her eyes flickered slightly.
Che Zhengyuan and Xuanyuan Yu also sharpened their gazes and looked behind Chen Beiwu.
The Youming Xuanli stepped into the air, intending to activate the Youming Soul-Locking Profound Power to suppress Chen Beiwu's Nascent Soul and render him powerless to resist.
"Hey!"
Shele clasped his hands together, using the five elements to protect Xuan Tong and form an ever-renewing defensive barrier, blocking the moonlight pillars erupting from Youming Xuanli.
Rumble!
The two forces collided, and Xue Le took a step back, his expression unchanged. The surging moonlight around him was suppressed by the defensive barrier of "the five elements rotating and circulating endlessly".
Meanwhile, the Dark Fox retreated dozens of feet and landed in Gu Yong's arms, who had suddenly appeared.
"rise!"
With a flick of his wrist, Gu Yong revealed a gleaming pale silver bead in his palm.
This treasure is called the Yin Soul Toad Pearl. It is a heaven-reaching treasure forged by the Gu family of Taiyin Cave Heaven by extracting the essence of the moon and fusing it with the inner core of the jade toad. It is extremely powerful and can be separated into its own form or fused into a physical form. When combined with the immortal techniques inherited by the Gu family, it can be used to unleash the Taihua Moon-Swallowing Jade Toad Dharma Form.
With this Dharma form, even if Chen Beiwu possesses the cultivation of the peak Nascent Soul stage, he is confident that he can forcefully suppress him.
Suddenly, Gu Yong's expression changed slightly, he clenched his fist and circulated his Taiyin magic power.
Even so, an extremely cold and chilling aura continued to surge in his palm, eroding his vital energy and spirit.
"Lunar Essence Condensation!"
The Dark Fox summoned the power of the Moon Star to gather around its body, and with the blessing of the Moon Palace, it wanted to help Gu Yong dispel that special cold energy.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yong acted decisively, using his left hand as a knife to sever his right palm.
"No problem, let's form the Taihua Devouring Moon formation!"
Gu Yong's expression was solemn, as he intended to use the Yin Soul Toad Pearl to directly suppress Chen Beiwu.
"boom!"
Just then, a blade of light shot into the sky, seizing the brief moment when Gu Yong's severed palm was frozen as he used his profound technique.
Wherever the blade flashed, the void vanished, space was divided, and a path was cleared.
"The sword intent soars to the heavens, judging the world!" Xuanyuan Yu took a deep breath.
He hadn't expected Chen Beiwu to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.
He has devoted hundreds of years to the arduous study of swordsmanship and the Way of the Sword, but he has only managed to comprehend the fourth realm of swordsmanship: "One sword can break through all laws."
How old is Chen Beiwu? He's already comprehended the Lingxiao Blade Intent.
It should be understood that the Lingxiao Blade Intent is a profound technique capable of contending with transcendent beings like the Nascent Soul True Venerable, and it represents the pinnacle of the fifth realm of the Blade Dao.
A cultivator who could comprehend such sword intent would be considered an unparalleled sword master in ancient times, and would also be the most likely to attain the Dao and become a true god.
"Gu Yong has lost," Xuan Yuan Yu suddenly said.
Even with his best efforts, he couldn't withstand the blow of being in a long-distance relationship, and the same was true for Gu Yong.
"Not necessarily. The Yin Soul Toad Pearl is a supreme treasure of the Gu family. If Gu Yong can unleash seventy percent of the pearl's power, he can at least fight Chen Beiwu for three days and three nights, and might even find a sliver of a chance to win," Shi Wujian commented.
"But Gu Yong has a hard time finding opportunities."
As soon as Zhu Wu finished speaking, a majestic Dharma image slowly emerged behind Gu Yong, vaguely revealing multiple scenes such as "the jade toad gazing at the moon, opening its mouth to swallow the moon, and transforming into the moon," unleashing the overwhelming pressure of a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator that could suppress heaven and earth.
"break!"
Chen Beiwu shouted, and the Cold Yuan Dragon Blade in his hand lost all its color, turning into a constantly flashing and jumping black line.
At this moment, guided by the intent of the Lingxiao Blade, countless dense, pitch-black lines came into Chen Beiwu's view.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"
Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling attacked simultaneously, pushing Xuan Tong to its limit and forcibly severing the resonance between You Ming Xuan Li and Gu Yong.
In an instant, the void shattered, countless spatial rifts spread, blood flowed from the chest of the Youming Xuanli, its front paws broke, its energy plummeted, and it suffered severe injuries.
The reason is simple: although the Dark Fox is strong, it is no match for Sherlock.
Moreover, Schiller and the Golden Eggs joined forces to launch a combined attack.
not good!"
Gu Yong's eyelids twitched, and he gritted his teeth to activate the power of the Yin Soul Toad Pearl.
He hasn't lost yet!
He could suppress a mere late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch with a flick of his finger!
"Freeze it!"
Gu Yong pressed the Yin Soul Toad Pearl into his heart, and his energy connected with the Youming Xuanli, reaching its ultimate sublimation. The Taihua Moon-Swallowing Jade Toad Dharma Image behind him, which had almost dissipated, condensed again.
"Celestial Techniques of Profound Power * Jade Toad's Forbidden Power!"
Gu Yong's heart glowed, and he slowly raised his left hand.
He can win!
No matter how strong Chen Beiwu's sword intent was, he would still be defeated by his Dharma Aspect Profound Understanding.
"It's just a friendly spar, yet Gu Yong is trying to risk his life!" Che Zhengyuan was slightly taken aback and wanted to intervene.
"That's normal. Gu Yong is so arrogant, how could he be willing to be defeated by Chen Beiwu?" Shi Wujian said calmly.
Based on his understanding of Gu Yong, given the choice between living and losing to Chen Beiwu versus dying and crushing Chen Beiwu, he would choose the latter without hesitation, even if it meant facing death.
"Let's make a move. We can't let Gu Yong continue to act recklessly." Zhu Wu sighed.
The Holy Maiden of Taiyin, Gu Qinghan, is in the Cangyuan Realm.
If Gu Yong dies here, right under their noses, they will have a hard time explaining it to the Holy Maiden of Taiyin.
"etc!"
Shi Wujian suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The majestic jade toad image behind Gu Yong stiffened slightly and began to collapse, and the Jade Toad's ability to suppress profound mysteries, which he was cultivating in his left hand, also stopped.
"puff!"
Gu Yong coughed up blood, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.
But he forced himself to steady himself, looked down at his chest, and a faint glint of black blade light appeared.
"When?" Gu Yong's pupils contracted.
With the Taihua Moon-Swallowing Jade Toad Dharma Form, it should theoretically be immune to all magic. Even several Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarchs could not harm it in the slightest before the Dharma Form collapses.
"Clang!"
Chen Beiwu sheathed his sword, not even glancing at Gu Yong, and slowly closed his eyes to meditate.
With a powerful figure like Gu Yong as a whetstone, he reaped abundant rewards in this battle. His Dragon Slaying Technique—no, his True Profound Technique—which he had gained from observing the origin of the Immortal Slaying Gourd's divine power, also made a slight improvement.
It's a pity Gu Yong can't be killed!
If he could go all out and pour all his killing intent into this one strike, without worrying about Gu Yong's life, he might be able to decipher most of the True Profound Path of Slaying, and even have a chance to reach the Creation Yuan Technique, truly stepping into the fifth realm of the Dao of the Blade.
"I actually lost?"
Gu Yong stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on the wound on his chest.
"Boom!"
The next instant, the Youming Xuanli crashed to the ground, landing beside Gu Yong, its four paws in the air, choosing to give up.
No animal likes to be beaten; if this continues, it will have to surrender.
"Brother Gu, victory and defeat are common occurrences in cultivation. You should focus on healing your injuries first."
Shi Wujian took a step, patted Gu Yong on the shoulder, and handed him a pill.
Gu Yong stood still, unresponsive, ignoring even the Youming Xuanli beside him.
After a long silence, Gu Yong suddenly spoke: "You do have some strength. I am not as good as you, but compared to the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, you are still far behind!"
"???" Chen Beiwu looked at Shi Wujian and the other two with a puzzled expression.
That's just how he is, no need to pay attention to him." Shi Wujian gestured with his eyes, telling Chen Beiwu not to worry too much.
Normally he's fine, but once it comes to the Holy Maiden of Taiyin, Gu Yong turns into a brainless idiot.
Zhu Wu and Xuan Yuan Yu also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so they quickly started to chat with Chen Bei Wu and changed the subject.
