Chapter 159: Old Matters of Gu Guanyuan
As this voice sounded, Yuan felt his perception begin to infinitely heighten.
Countless images overlapped, light and shadow intertwined, scenes from the past emerged in his perception one by one, and then converged together.
That was an infinitely brilliant, dazzling divine halo that expounded on the principles of ancient and modern times, suspended behind the head of a majestic seven-colored Divine Being, slowly rotating.
His cold, indifferent colored eyes were heart-palpitating.
Gu!
With the help of that borrowed power, Yuan finally caught a glimpse of Gu's true appearance in the Realm of the past.
Their gazes collided, and the surging power stirred up monstrous waves in the river of time.
Didn't He say that opening line?
Yuan thought to himself.
"Observe the past, life is but a dream."
Every word seemed to be engraved on ancient rocks, weathered by the vicissitudes of time, like the vast echo from ancient times.
Just then, that divine halo burst forth with light, reflecting countless images.
Yuan felt as if he were standing naked in the snow.
Gu directly made his move!
Naked!
As if stripped of all disguise, standing under the spotlight, everything he had experienced in the past was reflected by that divine halo.
Among them, even scenes with Wanzhu and the Listening Rain Pavilion Master appeared.
Damn it!
Only when it involved Immortal Sects like Lingyin Workshop and Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect did the images become blurry.
He was prying into his past!
Yuan instantly realized this.
Just as the images kept changing, he was completely unable to stop them.
No!
He should say, he didn't even know what method or how to stop it!
That power allowed him to briefly possess the perspective of an 'Immortal', but it didn't mean he could handle methods from the same level.
The Dongzhen Realm could already glimpse the true nature of the world and observe the myriad phenomena of the universe.
But at this moment, the methods used by that seven-colored Divine Being appeared to him like a mirage, visible but untouchable, making him completely unable to make any effective counter-measures.
Holy crap!
Was this idiot who only knew how to chant 'Heaven gives birth to myriad things to nourish man' actually this powerful?!
However, just then, that seven-colored Divine Being suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the images reflected by the brilliant divine halo were also interrupted.
It was then that Yuan noticed the terrifying sword light in the chest and abdomen of the seven-colored Divine Being, a sword light that seemed capable of severing everything in the world, even the Great Dao.
Hmm?
Was this the sword strike that Old friend had used to cut him before?
While he was pondering, Gu, who had been interrupted, did not continue to attack. After giving him a deep look, He disappeared.
Although He had not seen the complete picture, He could already confirm that this was the Sword Ancestor's method.
He must have done something with the piece of green jade He took.
It doesn't matter.
Now that the basic framework was set, whether He could regain His spirit, or even whether the Sword Ancestor made a move, was no longer crucial to the overall situation.
As Gu left, the feeling of countless images overlapping and light and shadow intertwining also receded like a tide. Yuan's gaze returned to the elegant waterside pavilion.
There was a moment of trance.
A slender figure sat in the waterside pavilion, with a delicate and perfect face and calm, indifferent eyes.
Upon observing her true nature, two completely different forces were intertwined like a spiral, yet there was no blending between them, clearly demarcated.
Wanting to get closer, it was blurry and indistinct, like looking at flowers through fog.
Combined with Gu who had just appeared...
Something is wrong!
But Xu Xing had instructed him before, so he did not continue to investigate.
"Please come to the conference room for a discussion, Senior."
The calm voice reached this small space, and the slender figure paused, finally showing emotional fluctuations in her calm eyes.
"Yuan?"
There was a sudden Creep beneath her skin, as if some terrifying monster was struggling.
Scenes flashed before his eyes...
The Saber Ancestor swung his saber to cleave the sky, but was suppressed by a monstrous large hand and ultimately perished.
The scene pulled back, revealing a figure holding a long sword from behind, exuding an aura no less powerful than that monstrous large hand, yet merely watching with cold eyes.
A long saber fell, but was cut into two by the long sword...
The scenes kept flashing, and gradually, the strange Creep beneath the skin stopped.
The emotions in her eyes subsided, returning to indifference.
At this moment, even though Yuan was in the perspective of an 'Immortal', seeing that delicate and perfect skin made his soul tremble and feel uneasy, as if the being before him was terrifyingly powerful.
"Alright, I will attend," the slender figure said indifferently.
"Thank you, Senior."
Hearing her agree, Yuan no longer lingered, and his gaze withdrew from the Mystic Realm.
............
The top floor of the Council Speaker's Tower.
Apart from the first time he encountered Gu, everything after that went very smoothly.
Those in the Combined Dao and Passage to Profound Realm were directly summoned.
As for those in the Dongzhen Realm, they were notified and then came on their own, as they were all Seniors, and some respect was still necessary.
Just like that, five minutes passed.
The originally empty conference room was now packed, with all seventy-two seats filled, and even quite a few people standing.
Counting carefully, there were one hundred and twenty-one people.
Except for Chen Yuanlin, who was in the Celestial Transformation Stage, the remaining one hundred and twenty people were at least in the Combined Dao Realm!
This was an incredibly massive force, enough to sweep away any major sect in ancient times except for the Immortal Sects.
Moreover, the Righteous Path Alliance didn't just have this many cultivators above the Combined Dao Realm.
But most of the others held relatively unimportant positions or were not in the Central Continent, so they were not included in his target this time.
The conference room was very quiet.
Yuan sat at the head, with Gu Mo, who had rushed back from the Sword Sect, and the slender figure who had just come out of the Mystic Realm seated on his left and right respectively.
Then, they were seated downwards according to their Realm and seniority.
Ultimately, only a small portion of the current generation of council members could sit in seats, and even the Chairman was ranked quite far back.
Looking at the figure seated at the very top, the current generation's Chairman no longer had any doubts.
Gu Mo observed for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Yuan, why are you back?"
Before Yuan could answer, a voice of dissatisfaction came from beside him.
"Gu Mo, judging by your words, you don't wish for Yuan to return."
The speaker had white hair and a youthful face, showing no trace of aging.
He wore a Daoist robe and held a whisk, exuding the accumulation of years and detachment.
The founder of the Ten Thousand Dharma Dao Sect!
Gu Mo frowned, "That's naturally not what I meant."
"Heh! Didn't you issue the order to 'stop searching for Yuan'?"
The founder of the Ten Thousand Dharma Dao Sect was very dissatisfied with this, not to mention that the current generation's Chairman was his junior.
"There was no progress in the matter, why waste manpower and resources in vain."
Gu Mo himself hadn't expected Yuan to return at this time.
"Then how do you explain Yuan's return at this moment?"
Seeing that the argument between the two was escalating...
"Senior Xie, I believe Senior Gu didn't mean that. I was the one who specifically said not to search for me before," Yuan said.
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The two looked at each other and then stopped talking.
This scene even surprised Yuan. Usually, they would argue as soon as they met, and although they would stop after he spoke, they would still argue a few more sentences in the end.
Why did they stop as soon as he spoke today?
