Chapter 256 Dao Mark Zheng Kun watched Gu Yuanqing's bait enter the water, but he didn't pull up the hook for a long time. He couldn't help but look at Gu Yuanqing's figure again, thinking, it's a good thing I kept my mouth shut just now, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself again. Gu Yuanqing concentrated his attention underwater. Fishing in this Wuliang River is obviously more difficult than in the Demon Realm. There is only one kind of demonic energy in the Demon Realm, but there are all kinds of vital energy in the Infinite River. However, his cultivation level is much higher than before. However, without the blessing of Tiandiao, everything depends on your own mind control. Fortunately, Gu Yuanqing has been practicing Tiandiao for decades and has gained experience in controlling the Dao energy. Moreover, he has the help of fishing gear, which makes it much easier than fishing in the air. When the divine consciousness entered the river, it was just like entering the devil's realm. The power of thousands of ways washed away it and was quickly dissipated. Gu Yuanqing quickly adjusted his state and applied what he had learned from the heavenly fishing to this fishing. At the same time, he made slight changes to make his true essence, spiritual thoughts, and Taoist essence more suitable for the situation in Wuliang River. Watching Gu Yuanqing fishing steadily, Zheng Kun next to him was extremely surprised. This was the first time he saw someone fishing so easily and freely in the Wuliang River for the first time. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Daoyou are really a hidden talent. I admire you. I admire you."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I also listened to your advice." The two chatted while waiting. But most of the time it was Zheng Kun who was talking, while Gu Yuanqing was asking and listening. Many things about the ancient world were talked about, such as the major sects in the Linglong world, and such strange places as the Misty Forest, the Wanbing Valley, the Jiutian Lake, and the Ancient World Terrace. These are things that Gu Yuanqing could not understand from the outside. One of his purposes for entering the ancient world, besides fishing for Dao Souls, was to find out information about these things. After all, there are still a few decades to go before the world war begins. After the world war, the floating world he was in turned into the Linglong world, which was no longer the same as before and needed to deal with the other 108 Linglong worlds. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we respond to these changes calmly. Fishing for Dao Soul requires patience. Gu Yuanqing was obviously very patient as well. As the two of them sat there, a whole day passed by unknowingly. On the way, someone ran past from behind, but no one came to disturb us. Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads and looked up at the area a hundred miles above. There seemed to be a beam of fire rising into the sky. Gu Yuanqing activated his Dongxu Tianpu and looked over, only to see a ten-foot-tall fire fox standing on the surface of the Wuliang River, struggling constantly. Then, it seemed to realize that it could not escape, and with a sharp cry, it pounced towards the monks on the shore. The monks on the shore laughed and said, "Just in time!" Then he made hand seals, and the flames in the sky turned into ropes that trapped the fire fox in the center. The seal changed, the rope was tightened, and it was completely suppressed. He raised his hand and the fire fox turned into a round bead and flew into his hand. "Is this the Tao Soul?" Gu Yuanqing asked.
Zheng Kun enviously said, "It's enough to be ten feet tall. A lower-grade Xuan-level Fire Dao Soul is worth more than two thousand ancient coins." Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. The noise made by fishing out the Dao Soul was a bit too loud. Zheng Kun was talking about something else when he suddenly looked happy and abruptly picked up the fishing rod. In just a moment, he picked up a three-foot-long green fish. He laughed and said, "It's a mid-level yellow rank. Although it's a bit low in rank, it's the Dao Soul of the Wind Path, which is just right for me." "Congratulations, it's finally open, a good sign." Gu Yuanqing said. Zheng Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, maybe you will be the next one." "Then I'll lend you some good advice." "Fellow Daoist, just fish first. I will refine this Dao Soul first." "Please!" Zheng Kun then made a seal and activated an ancient artifact, turning it into a protective barrier. Its own domain drew the green fish into the virtual world. After a while, he put away his magic weapon and opened his eyes. Gu Yuanqing felt that his aura had become stronger, which meant that his Taoism had improved. The two continued fishing while chatting. After Gu Yuanqing became familiar with all aspects of fishing, he began to use the Taoist transformation methods in Tiandiao on Taoist bait. Not long after, he felt something taking a bite of the bait. When he lifted the fishing rod, he saw a Dao Soul about a foot in size, like an octopus, holding tightly onto the Dao bait, and would not let go even after being lifted up. Zheng Kun chuckled and said, "Daoyou are lucky. The first catch you made was an entry-level Dao Soul, which is suitable for your Dao level, so it is perfect for use." Gu Yuanqing raised his hand and took the Dao Soul in his hand. He investigated it with his spiritual sense and felt that this Dao Soul was filled with pure Sunflower Water Qi. One can feel that it has spirituality but no intelligence. It just instinctively feels that the bait is good for it. Gu Yuanqing's mind moved, and the Xutian Realm enveloped the Tao Soul, and then rolled it into the Divine Court. His own soul was in harmony with it, and Gu Yuanqing's consciousness was in touch with its spirituality. In a trance, he seemed to be among all the Taos. Wisps of water elemental energy condensed in the various Taos, and then gradually grew stronger over countless years, and finally turned into its current appearance. It was as if Gu Yuanqing had experienced all the years along with its spirit. In an instant, Gu Yuanqing felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of the Way of Water. At the same time, the spirituality in the Dao Soul seemed to be exhausted. This Dao Soul immediately dispersed and turned into pure water element energy, replenishing the origin of the Xutian world. Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes and thought to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder these Dao Souls can replenish the Xutian World. It's because their spirituality contains traces of time, recording everything from their birth to now. Rather than calling them Dao Souls, they are more like Dao Traces. When the divine mind is in harmony with them, one can observe their life through their spirituality, just like the perception of unity with the Dao." He secretly estimated that this Dao Soul, which could barely be considered as a yellow-level one, was actually equivalent to ten days of his own practice. "It's really a good thing! If I can catch more, maybe it won't take long before I can reach the true peak of Xutian!"
You should know that Gu Yuanqing's comparison was based on what he got when he was in the mountain-watching state. If it were replaced by an ordinary person, such a most ordinary yellow-level Dao Soul would probably be equivalent to several months of practice. Of course, the comparison cannot be completely made in this way, because although the Dao Soul shows everything before your eyes, how much you can truly understand from the traces of time depends on your aptitude and understanding. It just so happened that Gu Yuanqing was blessed by the resident and his comprehension reached a level that was unparalleled throughout the ages. Naturally, his gains far exceeded those of ordinary cultivators. After another half day, the two of them talked less and less. Zheng Kun also began to devote some energy to condensing ancient coins. Gu Yuanqing stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, I'll go try it somewhere else." "Fellow Taoist, please!" Gu Yuanqing put away his fishing gear and floated away. These two people are fishing in the same place, which actually feels like a competition for opportunity. The Wuliang River is so wide and long, it is not a good thing. Gu Yuanqing didn't want to display the methods he learned from Tiandiao in front of others, even though Zheng Kun was a good person! (End of this chapter)
