196: The Lord of the Immortals will hold a meeting, the Supreme Whisk!
Yang Qiong, however, spoke up at this moment: "The plan is good, but there's still a tricky problem."
"I'm just not sure I can convince all of Yaochi's higher-ups. Most importantly, once Ancient Mo learns of our two families merging, he will never stand idly by."
"So, this matter must proceed quietly and gradually."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
Gu Liangyuan also fell into deep thought.
Just then, the System's prompt sounded in Gu Liangyuan's Sea of Consciousness:
"Ding! Detecting host's intention, System task has been issued."
"Task Name: Cult Leader Immortal Assembly."
"Task Content: Within three months, host shall hold a Cult Leader Immortal Assembly and, in the presence of all under heaven, become the master of the Supreme and Yaochi Holy Lands, ascending to the position of Cult Master!"
"Task Reward: Six Harmonies Grand Formation."
"Does the host accept?"
Name: Six Harmonies Grand Formation
Rank: Innate Killing Formation
Effect: An advanced version of the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation.
The Six Harmonies encompass the four directions, up and down!
The Six Harmonies Grand Formation contains six formations: Black Tortoise, Teng Snake, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Gou Chen.
The Azure Dragon resides in the east, the Black Tortoise in the north, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermilion Bird in the south, the Teng Snake above, and the Gou Chen below.
Once these six formations are deployed, they can lock down a single area of heaven and earth.
It can envelop the entire Eastern Continent, making it impenetrable.
It can block mortals and fight against those from the heavens!
Listening to the System's prompt, Gu Liangyuan knew this task presented both risks and rewards. He began to calculate the chances of victory between himself and the Ancient Mo Dynasty.
"The forces I can use include the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation, two Pseudo-Immortal Strikes, a celestial projection, and the families behind the Inner Sect Disciples of Forget-Love Peak."
"Adding the old monsters from the Supreme and Yaochi Holy Lands, even if we can't defeat Ancient Mo, self-preservation should be more than enough."
"Although the risk is still a bit high, I will gain the Six Harmonies Grand Formation and the cultivation returns from the two great powers."
"This risk is worth taking!"
"But the most important thing now is to convince everyone present."
With this thought, Gu Liangyuan no longer hesitated. With a flick of his hand, the formation stone of the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation floated in his palm:
"I have an Immortal Formation called the True Martial Demon Subduing Grand Formation!"
"This formation is composed of two formations, Turtle and Snake, one for offense and one for defense. They can be deployed separately in Yaochi and the Supreme Sacred Ground, capable of blocking Ancient Mo's military might!"
Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, Gu Liangyuan spoke again:
"Besides this, a large portion of my Forget-Love Peak's Inner Sect Disciples are direct descendants of various great families in the world. While I cannot directly command these families, if a true life-or-death situation arises, I am confident that these families will assist me."
Immortal Formation, Family Disciples?
Yang Qiong's gaze once again fell on Gu Liangyuan. In these past days, to investigate the Three-Eyed Youth, she believed she had thoroughly understood all of Gu Liangyuan's trump cards. She knew about the Family disciples, but she had no idea about this Immortal Formation.
However, when she saw Lü Qingmei and others show confused expressions, she felt relieved.
Yes, isn't this man's charm precisely that mysterious, endless array of methods?
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Gu Liangyuan continued: "I have one last trump card. If used properly, it can even directly kill the Mo Emperor!"
"As Light Eyebrow just said, what we want is the entire Eastern Continent!"
"If we don't show our claws, how can others submit?"
"Therefore, not only can we not be timid, but we must grandly and sensationally announce it to the world!"
Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes!
Your last trump card is your lie!
Experience told them that when Gu Liangyuan exposed some trump cards, he definitely had trump cards several times more powerful than those!
If he said he could assassinate the Mo Emperor, he might even be able to kill an Immortal!
It's stable, this is stable!
The two stepped forward, bowing in unison:
"We are at the Cult Master's (Holy Master's) command!"
The others, seeing this, also followed suit and bowed:
"Greetings, Cult Master!"
Looking at the bowing crowd, Gu Liangyuan swallowed the words he was about to say.
No, I was prepared for you all to refuse, and then I would appropriately reveal some more trump cards. But you're already calling me Cult Master?
Just as everyone was calling him Cult Master, sounds of Dragon roars echoed.
Six Luck Golden Dragons surged towards Forget-Love Peak, seemingly welcoming their king.
The next moment, Forget-Love Peak's Luck Golden Dragon broke its shackles and soared into the sky!
Encircled by the six Dragons, its golden light became increasingly solid.
Eventually, it almost formed a physical entity.
Its aged appearance also vanished.
Roar!
With a roar towards the sky, the entire Supreme Sacred Ground trembled!
Tianji Peak Master Li Buzheng, seeing this, quickly calculated with his fingers.
However, he felt the heavenly secrets were in Chaos, and he couldn't calculate anything.
He had intended to stop there, but looking up, he saw everyone's gazes turn to him.
Li Buzheng's heart tightened. If he didn't say something now, his reputation for infallible calculations would be ruined.
As his thoughts raced, he suddenly smiled, stroking his beard.
He looked up at the sky, adopting a profound and unfathomable demeanor:
"It seems Forget-Love Peak becoming the main lineage again is truly destined by heaven."
Everyone suddenly understood, and their anticipation for Gu Liangyuan jointly ruling the two great Holy Lands grew stronger.
Only the Tianji Peak Grandmaster felt suspicious.
Could it be that after so many years without fortune-telling, my skills have regressed?
My junior can calculate something I can't?
Hmm, this cannot be said.
It's embarrassing.
The eight Grandmasters looked at the seemingly united crowd, their faces showing expressions of relief.
The Grandmaster at the head spoke again:
"We are old. The future development of the Supreme Sacred Ground can only rely on you all."
Saying so, he pointed a finger, and a token fell into Gu Liangyuan's hand:
"This is the Ancestral Hall's secret key. If there's an emergency, you can hold this token and go to the Ancestral Hall to summon us."
"These old bones of ours can only do these things for the Supreme Sacred Ground."
With that, he suddenly spoke shyly to Yang Qiong:
"I hope my young friend will keep this a secret for me, and don't tell Fairy Jinghong about me being in seclusion at the Supreme Sacred Ground."
Saying so, without waiting for Yang Qiong to reply, he vanished between heaven and earth.
The other seven, seeing this, burst into laughter.
They seemed to be recalling something interesting.
However, they didn't intend to reveal anything to Yang Qiong and the others. They just waved their hands and then disappeared into the Void Realm.
Everyone bowed again:
"Farewell, Grandmaster (Senior Grand-Uncle)"
After the eight Ancestral Masters left, the solemn atmosphere in the hall dissipated considerably.
Lü Qingmei came to Gu Liangyuan's side, and with a flip of her hand, she handed the Supreme whisk, symbolizing the Cult Master's identity, to Gu Liangyuan.
There was no hint of reluctance in the process; instead, she felt a sense of relief.
Being Taishang Sect Leader sounded impressive, but the pressure on her was beyond imagination for an ordinary person.
"This is the Supreme whisk. Legend has it that it's a rare treasure, but no Cult Master throughout history has been able to fathom its mysteries. They only know that it's impervious to water and fire, and untouched by all laws. Even a Great Perfection Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation cannot harm it in the slightest."
"Over time, it became a token symbolizing the Cult Master's identity..."
Lü Qingmei's words were cut short as the Supreme whisk in Gu Liangyuan's hand burst into brilliant light!
Before Lü Qingmei could even react, the Supreme whisk completed its recognition of him as master and drilled into Gu Liangyuan's Sea of Consciousness.
It was firmly held in the hand of his Third Primordial Spirit, which had mastered the Chess Dao Fruit.
