I'm 16 years old, what's wrong with my combat power exceeding 100 million?

Ji Daoyuan said: "This is just a coincidence. Brother Gu doesn't have to blame himself."

Gu Taixu shook his head and said: "As you said, Daoyuan, this matter is also my fault."

Among this generation of academy disciples, only Nan Yunxiao and Yu Tianran were accepted by him personally.

When Murong Xuan, the third child, entered the gate, he had already left the Linxu Realm.

Therefore, almost all subsequent disciples had never seen the dean himself, but were taught by the vice dean Ji Daoyuan and four masters.

Gu Taixu is a great Immortal King who transforms into a Tao, and his strength is not much different from that of Linxu Realm Master who has the blessing of this realm.

If he is still in the Linxu Realm, even if the eight demon tribes in the Qiankun Demon Cave are powerful, they will not be able to gain favor from the humans.

Among the eight demon clans, the Heavenly Demon King and the Dragon Demon King both have great strength.

Linxu Realm Master was one against two, and even though he could barely hold on, he couldn't gain the upper hand.

That's why the war gradually intensified, and nearly half of the realm fell.

So much so that during the last battle in Kunyang City, even monsters from all major forces rushed to the front line.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Tianran and others were besieged by the demon king, so much so that Yun Luoyi's body and soul were destroyed.

In this way, all this is inseparable from his departure.

He cannot say that he is not responsible for what happened to Yu Tianran and others.

And he left Linxu Realm precisely to find the soul-returning grass.

And in the end, this soul-returning grass was taken away by Jian Benwei for Yu Tianran.

As the saying goes, one drink and one peck are all destiny.

Nothing more than that.

Ji Daoyuan shook his head and said: "Before Brother Gu left, who would have thought that the demon's offensive would intensify to such an extent."

"Based on the strength of the demons before Brother Gu left, they definitely cannot threaten our Linxu human race."

"No one could have predicted this. It is not Brother Gu's fault."

When Gu Taixu left, the eight demon tribes under the leadership of the Demon King had just arrived in this world.

Having suffered a tragic encounter in the Central Demon Realm before, out of caution, the Demon King did not launch a large-scale attack immediately.

After all, only the old, weak, sick and disabled of the eight demon tribes are left, and they really cannot withstand any setbacks.

Therefore, Gu Taixu did not consider the threat of the demons when he left.

After all, the demons didn't even have a high-level Immortal King before that, and the number of kings was far inferior to the human forces in the King's Domain.

Even if Gu Taixu is not here, it is still enough to cope with it.

Unexpectedly, only a few thousand years after he left, the Demon King, who had investigated the situation in this world, launched the first war.

After that, it happened once every ten thousand years, but within tens of thousands of years it had already occupied nearly half of the territory of Linxu Realm.

It can only be said that all of this is like fate, it is too coincidental.

Gu Taixu, who figured out the joints, was also a little frustrated.

Tens of thousands of years of traveling finally came to nothing.

When I came back from a trip, I saw that Wangxing Academy, which I founded, had almost become a vassal of others.

Even if he is the dean of the academy, a high-ranking Immortal King, and powerful in the entire Linxu Realm, what does that mean?

Ji Daoyuan seemed to see Gu Taixu's thoughts and said, "Brother Gu, don't be discouraged."

"It's not like there's no chance."

Gu Taixu shook his head and said, "What other opportunities are there?"

"In the past tens of thousands of years, I have traveled through no less than a hundred realms."

"In the end, I only found the soul-returning grass."

"The world is still very secretive, with almost no human activities."

"If in other worlds, other people have already taken advantage of this treasure, how can we still get it?"

"Unless you go to the great realms in the center of the mythical world, I'm afraid you won't be able to find another Soul-Returning Grass anywhere."

"But those large realms are either the frontline battlefields where humans and demons fight, or they have already been occupied by the behemoths that span the world."

"How can we succeed?"

"Dogen, it seems that this is God's punishment for me. I am an incompetent dean and an incompetent master."

"First he harmed Qing Yan, and after he left for this reason, he made disciples like Tian Tian suffer for him."

"Fortunately, this senior Skull took action to save the person he loved for Tian Tian, ​​​​so that he would not follow in my footsteps, which can be regarded as making up for some of my sins."

Gu Taixu said in a deep voice: "I have decided that when I come back this time, I will step down as the dean and retire to the mountains. If you are not willing to take over, let Master Lu take over."

Ji Daoyuan chuckled: "Brother Gu, I am already a disciple of Pingjiang Academy. Although the chairman is tolerant, I still hold the position of vice president of Wangxing Academy."

"But you can't push yourself too far. Naturally, I won't take the position of dean."

"Although Master Lu is an upright person, he is too rigid and is not suitable to be the dean, let alone the other three."

"Don't be discouraged, just listen to what I have to say."

"Although the soul-returning grass is rare, there are probably not many things in this world that I, the chairman, can't do."

Gu Taixu was slightly startled when he heard the words.

Only then did he realize that the person standing in front of him was a being who was called a saint by Ji Daoyuan and could cross the void and reach the soul-returning grass directly in the Linxu Realm.

If this existence takes action, it is really not impossible to find another soul-returning grass.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Karan Benwei with a hint of hope.

But he saw that Benwei didn't even look at him, and was just talking to the dog centipede.

Suddenly his eyes dimmed again.

"This senior may have immeasurable magical powers, but what qualifications does Gu have to ask for this soul-returning grass?"

Ji Daoyuan smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to one place.

"Quite simply, the opportunity is there."

Gu Taixu looked in the direction pointed by Ji Daoyuan.

I saw that the magnificent steps seemed to connect heaven and earth.

It’s the first step to ascend to immortality!

"This long step..."

Ji Daoyuan smiled and said: "Brother Gu, before you went up the mountain, didn't you ever read the inscription on the white jade square at the foot of the mountain?"

"Why do you think, Mr. Chairman, you took action to get that soul-returning grass for nature?"

When Gu Taixu heard this, his eyes moved.

The only way to go directly up the mountain is the Long Steps to Immortality.

No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, once you enter the range of the long level of immortality, your cultivation level will be sealed and you can only slowly climb the level.

But Benwei did not set any restrictions at the beginning.

Therefore, you can also go up the mountain from other directions without taking the long steps.

This is natural, otherwise the disciples who entered Pingjiang Academy would have to climb the steps every time they go up and down the mountain.

Even the Immortal King couldn't bear it.

What's more, even if you can bear it, you still don't have the qualifications. Even the disciples from the outer courtyard of the academy only have the opportunity to ascend the rank once every ten years.

Gu Taixu originally hid his figure and went up the mountain to investigate, so naturally he would not take long steps.

So he could probably tell that this long step to ascend to immortality was extraordinary and should be used by the academy to select disciples.
