190: Yang Qiong: I have to be reserved

However, she quickly suppressed her smile and addressed one of the Elders, saying, “Elder Zhang, how was it? Did you find anything while guarding Forget-Love Peak?”

This Elder was precisely the spy from the Ancient Ink Dynasty who had been placed in Yaochi, formerly on Forget-Love Peak.

Elder Zhang slowly shook her head: “This old woman has observed for many days and found no abnormalities with Gu Liangyuan.”

The Mahayana Realm Elder behind her spoke up: “It’s good if it’s not Gu Liangyuan. If the Peak Master of Supreme Sacred Ground becomes our new master of Yaochi, what would Yaochi become then?”

“A subordinate of Supreme Sacred Ground?”

The spy, Elder Zhang, echoed: “Yes, even if it truly is him, he must withdraw from Supreme Sacred Ground.”

“Otherwise, in a few years, there will be no Yaochi Sacred Ground, only Yaochi Peak left.”

“Our purpose in adhering to the prophecy is for the great prosperity of Yaochi, not to hand Yaochi over to someone else.”

“If it truly is Gu Liangyuan, I think it would be better not to follow this prophecy.”

As a member of the Ancient Ink Dynasty, Elder Zhang naturally did not wish to see Supreme Jade Pool merge and thus greatly increase its strength, hence her words.

Although her initial intention was incorrect, Elder Zhang’s words received the approval of most of the Elders present, who nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yang Qiong immediately stopped her movement of wanting to take out the recording stone.

She knew that taking out the recording stone at this moment might have an adverse effect.

She hadn’t expected such strong opposition from within Yaochi, but the Elders’ objections seemed reasonable.

Yang Qiong’s delicate brows furrowed slightly; things had become a bit troublesome.

Should she just tell Gu Liangyuan the truth directly?

No.

Yang Qiong immediately dismissed this idea.

Tell him directly that I will become your Dao Companion?

Saying that would make it seem like I’m eagerly chasing him.

Dignity.

Must maintain dignity.

She could think it, but she couldn’t say it.

Yang Qiong waved her hand at the Elders: “Alright, you may leave. I wish to be alone.”

Seeing Yang Qiong dismiss them, the Elders respectfully withdrew.

As for the contents of the recording stone and why the person from Purple Bamboo Holy Land was killed.

Yang Qiong did not mention it proactively, and they were also sensible enough not to ask.

Sitting in the empty hall, Yang Qiong pondered for a long time.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up!

The Elders were worried that due to Gu Liangyuan’s identity, Yaochi would become a subordinate of Supreme Sacred Ground.

Couldn’t she just solve this problem?

How to solve it?

Let Gu Liangyuan become the Taishang Sect Leader and concurrently the Sacred Lord of Yaochi.

Yaochi in his left hand, Supreme in his right!

While being fair and just, he could also firmly unite the two forces!

I, Yang Qiong, am planning some assets for my future Dao Companion, isn’t that very reasonable?

After thinking for a moment, she immediately rose and headed towards Wuji Peak.

This matter could only be discussed with Lü Qingmei.

Gu Liangyuan was unaware of everything happening within Yaochi.

At this moment, he had already returned to Forget-Love Peak with his three disciples and had secluded himself in the Enlightenment Tower.

Gu Liangyuan sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the Enlightenment Tower, holding a Ten Thousand Times Critical Strike Card, looking at the dazzling Spirit Treasures before him, falling into a dilemma.

At this time, he possessed four Great Divine Powers not returned by the System:

Heavenly Net, comprehended in a dream, rarely used in combat.

Zhou Tian Wu Xiang, a forbidden Spell, often used normally, but ultimately an auxiliary Spell, almost never used in combat.

Chess World, a Great Divine Power, never used in combat.

Heavenly Dipper Array, a Legacy of Forget-Love Peak, Song Rentou had used it, and its combat power was astonishing. But Gu Liangyuan always felt a bit repulsed by using it himself.

In addition to these, there were also four Great Divine Powers returned by the System: Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, Instantaneous Movement, Poetic Lamentation, and Humming Incantation.

The Great Divine Powers mastered by Gu Liangyuan alone were almost half of the entire Supreme Sacred Ground’s.

Escaping, combat, assistance, trapping—they covered everything.

Especially an unparalleled Great Divine Power like Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, it would be hard to find a second one in the entire Cultivation World.

Besides, he also had nearly seventy Small Divine Abilities.

Bestowing these Small Divine Abilities to his disciples might even result in the return of Great Divine Powers.

Therefore, in terms of Divine Abilities, Gu Liangyuan was not lacking for now.

Thus, he turned his attention to Spirit Treasures.

The several High Grade Spirit Treasures laid out before him were specifically reserved by Gu Liangyuan for the Ten Thousand Times Critical Strike Card.

However, Gu Liangyuan now possessed Supreme divine weapons like Mo Tan Kill and Nine Kill Sword.

In the middle, he had the Ten Heavenly Swords, and at the bottom, the Twelve Earth Swords.

For escape, he had the double dragon jade carriage and the Hunqing Lotus Platform.

For trapping, he had the Sub-Wu Sword Formation and the Jiazi Great Formation.

It seemed there were no flaws.

Gu Liangyuan pondered for a long time, and finally, his gaze fell upon Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and life-saving measures.

Life-saving measures, needless to say, the more the better.

For Cultivation Techniques, he had the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture and the Sun Moon Glass Body; one increased cultivation, the other strengthened the physical body.

If there was a flaw, although the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture also had the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul, it was not specifically a Soul Refining Cultivation Technique.

He could indeed critically strike a method specifically for condensing the Primordial Spirit.

In this way, he would be completely flawless, without any deficiencies.

As for Medicinal Pills, they were naturally for increasing cultivation.

Although Gu Liangyuan’s cultivation had rapidly increased after gaining the faction return and cultivation return functions, Gu Liangyuan still felt it wasn’t enough.

After all, who would dislike having high cultivation?

Although excessive consumption of Medicinal Pills to increase cultivation might lead to an unstable Foundation.

But Gu Liangyuan had not consumed a single Medicinal Pill since acquiring the System.

Gu Liangyuan did not think there would be any problem with appropriate consumption.

Clarifying his thoughts, Gu Liangyuan no longer hesitated. After putting away the Spirit Treasures, he took out three items.

An oracle bone, a gourd, and an ancient scroll.

Upon the oracle bone were densely packed patterns, like a grand Formation.

However, the patterns were dim, as if their energy had been depleted.

What was depicted on this oracle bone was a corner of an ancient Formation, the Black Tortoise Formation.

According to the System’s introduction, a complete Black Tortoise Formation could rival an Immortal Formation, with unparalleled defense!

It could keep Immortals out of the Formation!

This Formation was precisely the life-saving measure Gu Liangyuan had prepared for the entire Forget-Love Peak!

To return an unparalleled great Formation that would envelop the entire Forget-Love Peak, and even the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Even if an Immortal personally arrived, as long as one stood within the great Formation, one could stand in an invincible position!

As for what was inside the gourd, it contained a Heaven-Seizing Pill.

One pill ingested, even a Void Refinement Realm expert would instantly break through a minor realm.

On the market, it was priceless and extremely rare, one pill being hard to obtain.

This pill was obtained by Gu Liangyuan from the Pavilion Master of Jubao Pavilion, Zhao Chi.

He had originally intended to save it for later use and bestow it at an opportune moment, but now with the Ten Thousand Times Critical Strike Card in hand, he no longer planned to keep it.

The Cultivation Technique on the last ancient scroll was an Incomplete Manual of the Supreme Induction Chapter, obtained from the Legacy of Forget-Love Peak.

This chapter specifically tempered the Divine Soul, and the complete version could rival an Immortal Scripture, but it was incomplete, perfect for returning a Soul Refining Cultivation Technique.

Putting these three items into his sleeve, Gu Liangyuan stepped towards Forget-Love Hall.

As soon as Gu Liangyuan exited the Enlightenment Tower, he suddenly felt movement in his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist.

His Divine Sense probed, and he discovered that it was the silly roe deer about to awaken.

At this time, Xiao Jin’s cultivation had also successfully reached the fifth-tier Yao Beast, in the Soul Transformation rank.

Without waiting for Xiao Jin to fully awaken, Gu Liangyuan took out a small bottle of True Dragon Blood and poured it down Xiao Jin’s throat again.

Seeing Xiao Jin fall into a deep sleep again, Gu Liangyuan nodded in satisfaction.

After instructing Song Rentou to summon Bai Qing and Zai Xiyue, Gu Liangyuan sat in the main hall, quietly waiting.
