I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 566 Old Friend
In the following days, Gu Yuanqing also often paid attention to Ye Xuanxiao's actions.

The two of them traveled through various realms with the spirit beast, and the Yanshen Sect also sent people to follow them.

Every time the Xuan Ni entered a realm, it would sniff around.

Ye Xuanxiao and Lord Xuan Ni were waiting beside the teleportation array.

Xuan Ni is connected to the mind of its master, so if it detects something, it will know it immediately.

To prove its effectiveness, this spiritual beast was even used to solve an unsolved case from many years ago.

In the Beiquan Cave.

Li Chengyi added more tea to his father and said, "Father, judging from the situation, the Ancient Divine Sect is going to use this spirit beast to search the realms one by one?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Maybe."

Li Chengyi shook his head and said, "He is really capable of making trouble. The person who attacked Yanshen Sect was a cultivator at the Yin-Yang Breaking Void Realm. Apart from my father, such cultivators only exist in the Ancient Realm. Even the big sects like Huanling Sect and Sanyang Sect do not have such cultivators. What can he find by searching in these ordinary realms?"

"So, the real purpose is not to drink, either he is just playing tricks on the scene, or he is pretending to build a plank road but secretly marching through Chencang."

"Father, do you still doubt that you are the real target this time?"

"Don't you think so?"

"I am also suspicious, but I just can't understand why someone would pretend to be my father to go to the Flame God Realm to steal treasures? Or is it really the Taikoo Divine Sect who staged it themselves?"

"It's all possible. We just need to wait and see what happens."

"There is one more thing. With the strength of the Ancient Divine Sect and the status of the Linglong Realm, as well as their style of doing things, if they want to be an enemy of my father, they can just do it directly. Why go to so much trouble?"

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Cheng Yi, this Linglong world may not be as simple as we see. After all, we have been in it for too short a time."

"That's the only way. Unfortunately, I can't help with my cultivation level!" Li Chengyi smiled bitterly. At first, he thought that his father would be able to spare some time to look for his mother, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen not long after.

Gu Yuanqing stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I hope you can break through to the heavenly realm soon."

"It will be soon. I promise that I will be able to break through within ten years!"

……

Shangyu Realm, on top of a mountain next to the teleportation array.

A middle-aged man with a long beard was sitting cross-legged, holding a mirror in his hand. The scene in the mirror was exactly where Xuan Ni was.

On a pavilion not far away.

Ye Xuanxiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

Guan Dongchen, who came here yesterday, sat on a stool in the middle of the pavilion, looking bored at the middle-aged man in the distance, and then asked, "Big Brother, why bother so much? If we really search every realm one by one, I don't know how long it will take."

Ye Xuanxiao smiled and said, "Dongchen, you are sometimes too lazy and sometimes too impatient. You always need to be patient when doing things."

“Isn’t he just a cultivator in the Yin-Yang Void Breaking Realm? Indeed, his strength may be stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, but it is nothing to my Taikoo Divine Sect, right? As long as we are well prepared, what can he do even if he holds the Realm Order? Can he still cause any big waves?” Guan Dongchen said.

Ye Xuanxiao said calmly: "There is no need to go through so much trouble for a Gu Yuanqing."

"Hmm?" Guan Dongchen turned to look at his senior brother, his eyes flickering: "What do you mean, senior brother?"

"Junior brother, can you really not see it or are you pretending not to?" Ye Xuanxiao looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

Guan Dongchen was shocked: "It is true that I was too impatient and never thought of this. If I were facing those people, I should have been more patient."

Ye Xuanxiao smiled slightly: "Yes, such a talented person is hard to find even in my Taikoo Divine Sect in a thousand years, and it is even more so for ordinary Linglong Realm. Since this person is unwilling to enter my Taikoo Realm, he can just be used as bait. Junior brother, if you were replaced by them, would you be tempted?"

Guan Dongchen nodded and said, "They should be tempted. However, I heard that they are always cautious. Gu Yuanqing's background is unknown, so they may not be reassured. Moreover, they may not be able to see that we are planning to come."

Ye Xuanxiao said: "So what if they figured it out? This is an open conspiracy. Right now, we just need to give them more time. Only in this way will they really show up."

Guan Dongchen also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Master, are they planning to take action?"

"I don't know. We just need to do our own thing. The rest has nothing to do with us!" Ye Xuanxiao shook his head slightly, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. Ever since the master intervened, this matter has become uncertain again.

……

Another day passed.

Inside Beiquan Cave.

"Someone is looking for me? Who is it?" Gu Yuanqing looked at Li Shian.

After Li Shian broke away from the ancient world, he hurried up to the main peak and said that someone was looking for Gu Yuanqing in front of Jiuqu Mountain in the ancient world.

Li Shian shook his head and said, "He didn't tell me his name, only that he was an old friend of yours, but he didn't say who it was. However, he did teach me a few hand seals that seemed to be related to the art of sealing, and said that you would know it at a glance."

Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise: "What kind of spell is that? Can you show it to me?"

Li Shian made seals with his hands and changed them rapidly. This set of techniques involved twelve seals. Li Shian was just making the seals without coordinating the corresponding mental methods.

But Gu Yuanqing only looked at it once and felt that it looked familiar. He frowned slightly and was suddenly shocked!
"Sir, have you remembered anything?" Li Shian asked.

"Maybe. Let's go in and see where he is." There was some disbelief in Gu Yuanqing's eyes.

"He is just outside the Jiuqu Mountain magic circle. Because I don't know his identity and origin, I dare not let him in rashly."

"I understand." Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly, and then he separated a wisp of his soul and entered the ancient world.

Waking up in a quiet room in Jiuqu Mountain.

With a raise of his hand, all kinds of magic weapons in the ancient world flew up and landed in Gu Yuanqing's palm, and then disappeared without a trace.

Achieve the Yin-Yang Zhoutian realm.

When you split your mind and enter, you will reach the same state.

The world of heaven and man is embodied within it and is also transformed into a real space.

Of course, Gu Yuanqing still put some sundries into the storage bag and hung it around his waist.

Coming out of the quiet room, Gu Yuanqing spread out his spiritual thoughts and unfolded his Dongxu Tianpu, instantly locking onto a person outside the mountain.

When he saw this person, Gu Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The man was sitting cross-legged in meditation. He seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and looked at Gu Yuanqing from a distance.

"It's really him, he's not dead!"

Seeing this look, Gu Yuanqing immediately knew that his guess was correct.

The man smiled slightly, stood up and walked on the clouds, and arrived in front of the Nine-Curved Soul-Stirring Array.

"Brother Gu, since an old friend is here, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Gu Yuanqing waved his hand, and a road appeared out of thin air, leading directly from outside the mountain into the mountain.

The man walked up the road with his hands behind his back.

After a few steps, they reached the top of the mountain where Gu Yuanqing was.

He looked up and said with a smile, "This formation reverses yin and yang and obscures the secrets of heaven. I think it is safe to speak."

Gu Yuanqing waved his hand, and the entire Nine-Curved Soul-Shaking Formation began to operate completely.

“The Ancient Divine Sect’s Qiankun Wanxiang Mirror should not be able to see what’s happening in the formation!” Gu Yuanqing stared at the man, then shook his head and smiled: “I was saying that with your cultivation, your comprehension and control of the Great Dao, you are still better than Baili Jinghong and Pei Yutang, so you shouldn’t be unable to survive the Yin-Yang Tribulation.”

The man clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Gu Yuanqing: "I had no choice but to do this. I deeply apologize for this action. I hope Brother Gu will not blame me."

When he stood up, his appearance and clothes had changed. He was Lu Zeyu, the former leader of the Huanling Sect.

However, he was already a Yin-Yang cultivator at this time, and his aura was completely different from before. If he had not deliberately revealed his flaws to Gu Yuanqing, I am afraid that even if he stood in front of Gu Yuanqing, she might not be able to recognize him.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and bowed: "Master Lu, you have deceived us all so badly! Please take a seat!"

Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and the surroundings changed, with chairs and tea tables appearing out of thin air.

Lu Zeyu laughed and sat down, saying: "Brother, please don't address me as the Sect Master anymore. I am no longer the Sect Master of Huanling Sect."

Gu Yuanqing personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Zeyu and said, "I am glad that you are still alive."

Lu Zeyu raised his cup with both hands: "I'll use tea instead of wine. Thank you for your concern. I'll drink it first as a token of my respect."

……

Chat for a moment.

Gu Yuanqing asked, "Brother Lu, you faked your own death and escaped. What is the important matter that you are looking for me this time?"

Lu Zeyu did not answer but asked: "Brother Gu, you should be able to guess why I faked my death and escaped from the heavenly tribulation, right?"

"The Ancient Divine Sect?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

"Yes, the Ancient Divine Sect!" Lu Zeyu had a complicated expression.

Gu Yuanqing was slightly surprised and said, "Aren't only the Yin-Yang Breaking Void Realm cultivators invited by the Ancient Divine Sect? Brother Dao is only at the Yin-Yang Ten Thousand Longevity Realm. Such cultivators can be found in all the major sects in the Linglong Realm. Why would you fake your death and escape now?"

Lu Zeyu sighed softly: "Under the Yin-Yang Eternal Life Tribulation, even the Heaven Monitoring Mirror can hardly see what's going on inside the tribulation. If it were any other time, it wouldn't be so easy to escape.

Gu Yuanqing was a little confused.

Lu Zeyu smiled and said, "Brother Gu, you don't think that I am still in the Phantom World, do you?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Yuanqing said.

"Of course not!" Lu Zeyu shook his head.

Gu Yuanqing was surprised: "Where is that?"

"The place of divine ruins!" Lu Zeyu said word by word.

Gu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows: "The Divine Ruins that the Ancient Divine Sect mentioned?"

Lu Zeyu nodded and said, "Not bad."

Gu Yuanqing was surprised and asked, "Isn't this place in the ancient world? How did Fellow Daoist Lu get in?"

Lu Zeyu smiled and said, "How can the Land of Gods be in the Ancient World? It's just that its entrance is in the Ancient World! As for how to get in, you will know it later."

Gu Yuanqing looked at Lu Zeyu and sighed, "It seems that the secrets in Linglong Realm are far more than I expected."

Lu Zeyu explained: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, brother, but there are some things that cannot be said. There are some things that I only learned when I survived the Yin-Yang Tribulation."

Gu Yuanqing continued to pour tea for Lu Zeyu while saying, "Then fellow Taoist, please speak frankly. What is the reason for coming to see me this time?"

Lu Zeyu said slowly: "Daoyou, are you interested in entering the Divine Ruins now?"

Gu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu is also a guide?"

Lu Zeyu said: "If you want to think so, it's not a bad idea, Brother Gu."

Gu Yuanqing asked: "What if I say I don't want to go?"

Lu Zeyu smiled and said, "Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I just came to ask about your wishes. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Really? Then may I ask, who does Daoyou represent?"

Lu Zeyu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Hidden Yao Alliance."

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly raised his head and looked outside.

Lu Zeyu smiled and said, "Did you feel it, fellow Daoist?"

"Someone was spying, but he couldn't see inside the formation."

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to say it. This is true both inside and outside the ancient world. This is the strength of the Taikoo Divine Sect. Anyone who speaks of it will be sensed by it."

Gu Yuanqing stood up. He could feel that the spying aura was slowly dissipating because it had not found anything. "It seems that you and the Taikoo Divine Sect are enemies?"

Lu Zeyu sighed: "I guess so."

……

Lu Zeyu stayed in Jiuqu Mountain for half a day.

Before leaving, he looked at it and sighed, "There is no way forward in Linglong Realm, Daoist Fellow, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible. The Taikoo Divine Sect is searching in Linglong Realm with great fanfare. In fact, they have three intentions. The first is to make it legitimate to attack Daoist Fellow and stop everyone from talking nonsense. The second is that they suspect that there are other things above the heavenly change hidden in these realms, so they are taking the opportunity to sweep all the Linglong realms. The third is to use Daoist Fellow as bait and want us to take action to guide Daoist Fellow."

Gu Yuanqing chuckled: "Since you also know their plot, why do you still want to fall into their trap?"

Lu Zeyu said: "Of course I don't want to miss out on a Taoist friend as talented as Brother Gu!"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "If I really plan to enter the Shenxu area, I will contact Brother Lu."

Lu Zeyu cupped his hands and said, "Then I will wait for your news!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zeyu's figure turned into fallen leaves and drifted away.

Gu Yuanqing also stepped back into the secret room.

Then the whole person left the ancient world.

The mind and spirit are in harmony, and all memories are in harmony.

Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. He knew some things today, but that was just some. Lu Zeyu said he didn't know the deeper details.

The Hidden Alliance is an alliance secretly formed by the Yin-Yang monks from many major sects.

Its base is in the land of Shenxu.

Lu Zeyu faked his death and escaped, but was covered up by someone using the heavenly calamity and taken to the place of divine ruins.

Although I don’t know much about the Hidden Alliance from Lu Zeyu.

But it can be roughly judged that the strength of the Hidden Yao Alliance is still far from being a match for the Ancient Divine Sect. It's just that there is a strange balance between the Hidden Yao Alliance and the Ancient Divine Sect, as if each is afraid of something.

Gu Yuanqing recalled the last time on the ancient world stage, the relationship between the major sects and the Taikoo Divine Sect.

"If we speculate based on this, the Nether Sea Palace, the Flame God Sect, etc. should be closely connected with the Ancient God Sect, while the Huanling Sect, the Wuchen Sect, the Lingye Sect, etc. should be related to the Hidden Light Alliance."

Lu Zeyu didn't say much about these things, but some things can still be inferred.

But today, Gu Yuanqing’s real gain was not these, but a new understanding of the subsequent cultivation methods within the Linglong Realm. Its methods are completely different from those in the cultivation world and the Demon Realm!
And these seem to vaguely reflect the true mystery of Linglong Realm.
