Chapter 137: Initial Enlightenment of Space Zhang Xuanlin picked up the tea and took a sip: "Tell me about it." Gu Yuanqing said: "My origins should be clear to you, senior, and my cultivation should be roughly guessed." Zhang Xuanlin looked at Gu Yuanqing: "I know your origins in this world, but if you say that you are just a person from the floating world, I don't believe it. Placing this mountain between the Demon Realm and the floating world, even I am impressed by such means. As for your cultivation, Kuang Tongyi, a disciple of Lingxu Sect in my world, once fought with you at the foot of the mountain and was defeated. At that time, your cultivation should have been at the Daohuo Realm. And now, if I am not mistaken, Mr. Gu’s cultivation should be at the Shentai Realm, right? If not for this, you wouldn't live in this mountain so often, and you wouldn't go down because you're worried that your own cultivation would overwhelm the space of the floating world. And you seized the Heaven Gate Order in case you need to go down the mountain. I wonder if my speculation is correct?" Gu Yuanqing did not give a direct answer, but just smiled and said: "Senior, you have a keen eye." Zhang Xuanlin said: "Tell me, what do you want to trade?" Gu Yuanqing picked up the tea and refilled Zhang Xuanlin's cup, saying, "The cultivation level of the Divine Stage Realm is already a top master for the Floating Realm, but in the Demon Realm, there are countless people at the Divine Stage Realm, and there are also many cultivators at the Heavenly Man Realm. The Divine Stage cultivators can hardly protect themselves. Since this mountain has appeared in the Demon Realm, it will be attacked by people from this world. If it is damaged, the Floating Realm will also be affected." "So, you want to get the cultivation method of the Void Heaven Realm or the Heavenly Man Realm from me?"
Gu Yuanqing also took a sip of tea, then looked at Zhang Xuanlin with a smile. Zhang Xuanlin said calmly, "The methods of cultivation are all top secrets of the sect. Even I have no right to teach them to outsiders. Since Master Gu can control the formation of this mountain, he must have inherited it. Why would he care about the methods of my Lingxu Sect? Of course, if you are willing to become a disciple of my Lingxu Sect, it is not impossible." Gu Yuanqing sighed: "Master Zhang is also an expert, why does he care so much about this sectarian view?" Zhang Xuanlin snorted coldly: "If I want your formation on this mountain, are you willing to give it to me?" Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "If I fall into the hands of the sect master one day, I think he will agree." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanlin's face suddenly darkened. He knew that Gu Yuanqing was reminding him of his current situation. As the head of the sect and a great cultivator in the Heavenly Man Realm, he was respected by everyone in the cultivation world. He had never suffered such humiliation before. Gu Yuanqing laughed: "It was just a joke just now, Sect Master Zhang, please don't take it to heart. However, you can also consider my suggestion. There is no need to rush. Sect Master Zhang can also take a closer look at the scenery of this Demon Realm." Zhang Xuanlin took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and regained his composure: "I have practiced for thousands of years in this cultivation world. Now it is not bad to see more of this Demon Realm." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Senior, please just watch. If you get bored of staying in the mountain, I can let you two walk down the mountain to experience the customs and habits of the Demon Realm. It just so happens that the human race in this world doesn't know which race they will fight against. Senior, maybe you can take this opportunity to learn more about the strength of the people and monsters in the Demon Realm." Zhang Xuanlin couldn't tell whether Gu Yuanqing's words were a threat or not, but he didn't care. He said calmly, "If there is such an opportunity, I would like to thank Master Gu. It is worth it to exchange this split body for such information." As he spoke, he stood up. Gu Yuanqing's words had already answered the question he wanted to ask before. "I will not disturb Master Gu today!" He didn't even wait for Gu Yuanqing to reply and just walked away. Gu Yuanqing didn't care. He sat on the chair and said, "There is something I want to tell you. If I can break through my cultivation level soon, you and Fellow Daoist Ji can leave soon. Although I don't have hatred with Lingxu Sect, we do have some enmity. It would be better for us to establish a good relationship with each other. It would be good for both of us!" Zhang Xuanlin looked back and walked out of the yard without saying a word. It was his fault that his distracted consciousness fell into Gu Yuanqing's hands, and he didn't want to die like that. Because of the strangeness of this mountain, he even suspected that even if his spiritual consciousness was extinguished, he would not be able to transmit the information back to his original body through the realm of nothingness. Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and closed the gate. Zhang Xuanlin’s reaction today was within his expectations. However, he was not in a hurry. It just so happened that Zhang Xuanlin came to him, so he planted a seed first. He would see later whether the seed could grow. At this time, he was still in the Daohuo Realm, still some distance away from the Divine Platform. It was too early for him to reach the Xutian Realm and the Tianren Realm.
Lingxu Sect, in the forbidden area of Dayan Mountain. Zhang Xuanlin's real body sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, frowning slightly. It had been three months since his soul fell into the floating world, but not a single message had been sent back. "Something must have gone wrong here, otherwise it would never be like this. Although it has crossed a realm, as long as the divine consciousness of the celestial being escapes into the realm of nothingness, it can still transmit information back through the connection between the clone and the original body. The current situation is somewhat similar to Ji Qingyun's. No matter how I use secret methods to sense, I can't sense the location of the clone at all." "It seems that there is a big trouble in this planktonic world, but this is all I can do. Let my clone handle everything according to the circumstances." Zhang Xuanlin slowly closed his eyes. He had done his best by separating a part of his divine consciousness for the planktonic world. Beiquan Mountain. Gu Yuanqing entered the state of cultivation again. He wanted to be one with this sacred mountain as he had done in the past, comprehending the essence of all things, but suddenly he felt a rhythm that he had never felt before. This rhythm is looming and appears and comes from the outermost area of Lingshan. When his mind was in turmoil, this rhythm quickly disappeared, and as he calmed down again, the rhythm reappeared faintly. He kept his mind calm and comprehended, and when the rhythm became clearer and clearer, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. His state of mind was broken again, and he had to re-enter it. When his perception of this rhythm became clear again, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to him, and he finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from. As the thought moved him, he triggered the blessing of Tiandiao, and when his spiritual thoughts broke through the space, he finally felt the same rhythm as before. “This is the way of space!” And in a moment, he also understood the reason for the previous scene. Beiquan Mountain fell into the Demon Realm, and its state was like falling into a dimensional space. It was both in the planktonic world and in the Demon Realm. It was very strange. In this state, the space fluctuations that should have been extremely obscure became obvious. Gu Yuanqing had learned from some of his cultivation experiences that touching space is something that can only be achieved by those who have reached the Void Sky Realm. Because the rhythm of space is very subtle, so subtle that it should not be perceived by people at his level. It requires the nourishment and transformation of the soul in the Divine Platform Realm, as well as the use of exercises in the Void Sky Realm to break into the realm of nothingness, thus leaving the imprint of the way of space. But with Guanshan's blessing, his spiritual awareness seemed to have been directly upgraded to several levels. Coupled with Beiquanshan's strange state, he was able to cross two major realms and do this almost impossible thing. At the same time, this is also due to the improvement of his Heavenly Diao method. With the blessing of Heavenly Diao, when breaking through space, his divine thoughts will also be in contact with the way of space. Although these things cannot be perceived on a daily basis, they are accumulated little by little without being noticed. Until today's practice, this accumulation has finally changed from quantitative change to qualitative change. After this hint of enlightenment arose, the rhythm of space seemed to gradually become clearer. He calmed his mind and devoted himself to the perception of this Dao, allowing this feeling to be imprinted deep in his soul. This realization lasted for seven days. During the seven days, Gu Yuanqing had no distractions and immersed himself completely in this path. On the morning of the eighth day, he finally opened his eyes. A trace of the Dao essence of space had been imprinted deep in Xin's heart and manifested in the Dao fetus. Although I am still far from truly mastering it, the seeds of this path have been planted. At this time, Gu Yuanqing felt that his Taoist world was undergoing subtle changes. Its space was expanding, and there were some unspeakable changes in it. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to trigger the Heavenly Diao method again. Without any movement, a long knife hanging on the wall in the secret room of Beiquan Mountain appeared in his hand out of thin air. This is much smoother than before.
In the past, one had to deliberately touch the blessing and passively stimulate the true energy to break through the space. Now, one only needs to think about it, and the blessing of Tiandiao will follow naturally. He threw it casually again, and the knife returned to the secret room. Gu Yuanqing continued to test it, and items kept appearing in his hands and then disappearing, as if it were a magic trick. A smile appeared on his face. This might be one of the real uses of Tiandiao's blessing. If it is combined with the control of objects, it is even more magical. If used in battle, it can be hard to defend against! "However, I can only do this in Beiquan Mountain now. I haven't really mastered this method yet. If I want to be able to use it outside Beiquan Mountain, I need to go through countless days of practice and enlightenment." After a moment, he yawned, feeling a little mentally exhausted from days of comprehending this Dao. He just lay down there and fell into a deep sleep. In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed. Nothing happened here, and he still focused all his attention on cultivation. After the spatial Dao essence was imprinted on the Dao fetus, he felt that the progress of his cultivation, which had been slowing down, was accelerated again. There were slight changes in his Dao Fire and True Essence, so that the effectiveness of his body refining method was greatly enhanced. After being tested in the Lingshan Trial, his physical strength was now comparable to that of Zuo Qiu, who was at the peak of Daohuo, and he was still making rapid progress. At noon that day, Dao fire ignited on his body. He slowly did boxing in the courtyard, practicing body-refining techniques to temper his body. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked towards the east. There was no movement there at this moment, but Gu Yuanqing already knew that trouble was coming. Sure enough, after a while, two rainbow lights were seen flying towards them. "I thought that after such a long time, nothing happened and the matter of the Celestial Temple was over. I didn't expect that they would come back again?" Gu Yuanqing took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was, appearing on the top of the mountain behind him...
