155: Shaking the mountains and the sea
As the city wall collapsed, the Elders and Disciples swarmed forward.
The highest Cultivation in this city was merely equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation of the City Lord, so how could he possibly withstand the military might of the Forget-Love Peak Disciples?
Although the City Lord emerged, he was instantly killed by a Soul Transformation Realm Elder with a single sword strike the moment he appeared, before he even had a chance to introduce himself.
As a result, no one knew this was the City Lord, and some even suspected that the City Lord had secretly fled.
Gu Liangyuan extended his hand, and the City Lord's storage ring flew into his grasp.
His Divine Sense probed it, and sure enough, he found a portion of Forget-Love Peak's Legacy inside.
It also contained a set of Jade Slips, different from those Gu Liangyuan had obtained from Luo Li's storage ring previously. These Jade Slips showed clear signs of use, indicating they had been studied by others.
It was a pity that these Jade Slips were also protected by a Restriction, and only someone with the Forget Love Sutra could fully open them.
It was precisely because they couldn't be opened that the Demon Race Great Power found them tasteless, which is why they had the chance to fall into the hands of a Demon General.
As Gu Liangyuan continuously examined the Jade Slips, a series of System prompts rang out in his mind:
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for comprehending the method for crafting a low-grade spirit treasure, the Forgetting Love Whisk."
"Ding! Host's Artifact Refining skill has increased, reaching the level of a Rank Four Artifact Refiner."
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for comprehending the Eight Revolutions Profound Skill, Seven Emotions Refining Heart."
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for comprehending the Body Refining method, Shaking Mountains and Stirring Seas."
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for comprehending the Small Divine Abilities, Five Elements Divine Lightning."
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for comprehending the Forbidden Art, Celestial Dipper Steps."
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for obtaining the Forgetting Love Pill crafting method."
A continuous series of System prompts rang out, until finally, the System added one more:
"Ding! Congratulations on recovering 40% of the Legacy! Continue striving to recover 50% to receive Disciple guidance, Host! Keep up the good work!"
Gu Liangyuan ignored the last System prompt and began to examine his gains one by one.
He had already obtained the Forgetting Love Pill crafting method from the System, so he could disregard it.
The Forgetting Love Whisk was indeed good; he could even bestow it upon his Disciple to trigger another critical strike.
As for the Eight Revolutions Profound Skill, it would also be used as a reward for Disciples.
Currently, he did not lack Divine Ability Cultivation Techniques, and it was also to accumulate the System's critical strike rate, waiting for the right time to bestow them.
What remained were the Divine Abilities.
Name: Five Elements Divine Lightning
Rank: Small Divine Abilities
Effect: Summons Five Elements Divine Lightning to battle enemies, with an additional bonus against evil beings with heavy Karma.
Cultivation Requirement: Lightning Spiritual Root
Gu Liangyuan was quite satisfied with this Small Divine Abilities.
For him, this Small Divine Abilities was merely icing on the cake, but he could pass it on to Qianqiu to trigger a critical strike.
Next.
Name: Celestial Dipper Steps
Rank: Forbidden Art
Effect: This art has nine steps, echoing the nine stars of the Big Dipper in the sky. The Southern Dipper gives life, the Northern Dipper brings death. With nine steps, the Host can borrow the power of the Northern Dipper stars from the heavens using Lifespan, causing Cultivation to surge. The upper limit of the increase is the upper limit of the Host's Lifespan.
Lifespan?
Upon hearing this sensitive word, Gu Liangyuan immediately felt a jolt.
This thing should not be borrowed.
The limit of a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator is only 1,800 years of Lifespan, and he only had 1,774 years left. Borrowing Lifespan was too risky!
Gu Liangyuan made up his mind that this Celestial Dipper Steps could not just be a life-saving trump card; it had to be the ultimate trump card.
He would never use it unless it was the very last resort.
Immediately, Gu Liangyuan turned his gaze to the last Great Divine Power:
Name: Shaking Mountains and Stirring Seas
Rank: None (Body Refining Auxiliary Method)
Effect: Heaven creates water; the kidneys are water, the root of Innate. Sitting cross-legged, with the body as a mountain and kidney Qi as the sea, gently swaying to strengthen kidney yang, hence the name Shaking Mountains and Stirring Seas.
The kidney yang Qi will in turn replenish Qi and blood, circulating throughout the body, achieving the effect of assisting Body Refining, making it a rare auxiliary method.
Gu Liangyuan's eyes lit up. Whether it replenishes the kidneys or not doesn't matter; the main thing is that this method suits him, and he must learn it.
Oh, my kidney brother, my kidney brother, I will train you to be as strong as steel. From now on, you must help me gallop across the battlefield.
Gu Liangyuan had finished his inspection, but the battle below had not yet ended.
Gu Liangyuan's gaze swept across the battlefield and he spotted a familiar Disciple, Gou Dezhu.
He had a deep impression of this Disciple; he had personally brought him into the inner sect.
Gou Dezhu, with a Small Adamant Talisman on him, was mixed among the bloodthirsty young masters.
Someone was clearing the path in front, and someone was providing cover from behind.
Although his Cultivation had already reached Qi Refining Great Perfection, he never attacked Demon Race members above the Late Stage of Qi Refining.
Each time, he would observe for a long time before making a move.
Every time he attacked, he would definitely kill someone.
He succeeded again and muttered to himself:
"A hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones are in hand, already exceeding the expected gains for this trip. Gou Dezhu, oh Gou Dezhu, you must not be blinded by temporary greed. It's time to stop."
"What if I encounter someone like Sun Pu? Even this Adamant Talisman wouldn't save me."
After speaking, although his face showed reluctance, he still forcibly suppressed his greed and stopped actively attacking, prioritizing self-preservation.
Gu Liangyuan watched this scene and nodded slightly:
"Not bad. This youth is teachable and has the demeanor of a Great Senior Brother of the inner sect."
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Six Harmonies Sect, Sun Pu, who was refining artifacts in a secret chamber, suddenly felt his nose itch.
He muttered casually, "Who's talking about me again?"
But he didn't care in his heart, instead focusing intently on the Artifact Refining furnace in front of him.
"Last time, Song Xianer forced me to only three trump cards. The situation was too dangerous."
"If anything were to happen, these three trump cards would only help me escape, with no power to resist."
"I absolutely will not allow such a situation to happen again!"
"Forget-Love Peak, just you wait. When the Fu Long Court arrives... hehe."
"I will definitely stay far away from you!"
Staying away from Forget-Love Peak Disciples = safety.
As Sun Pu thought this, the Artifact Refining furnace in front of him already showed signs of activity. So, he continued his great Artifact Refining enterprise, beginning to prepare more trump cards.
Before long, the battlefield gradually drew to a close.
The Demon Soldiers had already collapsed into disarray, fleeing frantically.
It is worth mentioning that almost every member of the Demon Race was a soldier.
When they first entered the city, the Disciples still had compassion for the ordinary citizens in the city.
But demons are demons. While feigning pity, they secretly launched sneak attacks, severely injuring several Disciples.
Some of the Great Powers guarding in the shadows almost couldn't help but make a move. Fortunately, other Disciples provided timely assistance, so no one died.
Watching another young Demon Race member fall, Mo Chen sighed:
"To die like this, how sad his family must be."
Oriental Heng turned his head to look, his face showing confusion.
That shouldn't be. You were roaring when you were killing demons just now, so why are you suddenly being so compassionate?
It was Jun Ao Zhi, who had casually slain a Demon Race member nearby, who spoke up and asked:
"So?"
Mo Chen's expression was serious: "So if you kill his relatives and friends, they won't be sad."
"I'm truly too kind."
Jun Ao Zhi: ?
Oriental Heng: ???
Other Disciples: "Makes sense!"
