86: This matter is over, return to the mountain to become a god

Looking at the Mighty Demon King who still had combat power, and then looking up at Wu and Li who were at a disadvantage, Gu Liangyuan sighed softly, feeling the almost depleted Spiritual Qi in his body.

It seemed that with his strength, he could at most only slay a Void Refining Middle Stage.

Unless he successfully reached Soul Transformation, he would struggle against a Void Refining Late Stage.

"After I return, I must begin Soul Transformation. I will strive to successfully Breakthrough before the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly."

If other Cultivators knew Gu Liangyuan's thoughts, they would surely be filled with jealousy.

Others crossing a major Realm to fight were already considered peerless Prodigies!

And it was often like Foundation Establishment Peak fighting Core Formation Early Stage, or Core Formation Peak fighting Nascent Soul Early Stage.

You crossed two major Realms, forcing a Void Refining Late Stage to this point with your Nascent Soul Peak, and you're still not satisfied?

At this moment, the Mighty Demon King did not know what Gu Liangyuan was thinking. Seeing Gu Liangyuan sigh, he only took it as a sign of Gu Liangyuan's despair.

Thus, the ferocity on his face intensified:

"To be able to force me to such a Realm, I admit, you are indeed no ordinary person."

"However, that is all there is to it!"

"There are many Prodigies in the world, but are fallen Prodigies still considered Prodigies?!"

The Mighty Demon King spoke, but his hands did not stop.

A pair of short axes in his hands danced, dimming the sun and moon, stirring up a furious wind!

"Die!"

A loud roar, like a bull's bellow!

The twin axes crossed and slashed, a cross-shaped blood-light streaked across the Void Realm, shooting directly towards Gu Liangyuan!

"Master!"

The four disciples exclaimed in unison upon seeing this.

Wu and Li, who were fighting in the sky, looked over upon hearing the sound, their eyes instantly splitting with rage!

"Peak Lord!"

Under the gaze of several people, Gu Liangyuan sighed again.

This time, he sighed because he felt this mission was truly not worth it.

He had finally obtained a Mahayana experience card, but he didn't expect to have to use it here.

Wouldn't that be a wasted effort?

Fortunately, an Opportunity had coincidentally triggered the Legacy Path mission, otherwise, this would have been a huge loss!

Seeing the blood-light already approaching, just as Gu Liangyuan was about to use the Mahayana experience card, a sharp Sword Qi descended from the Nine Heavens, heading straight for the Mighty Demon King.

The Mighty Demon King didn't even have a chance to react; he was merely grazed by this Sword Qi and immediately turned into an ice sculpture.

Blown by the wind, the ice sculpture shattered into dust.

Before everyone could react, two more identical Sword Qi went straight for the two Half-Step Body Integration Cultivators in the sky.

Although their strength was much greater than the Mighty Demon King's, they were unable to resist in the slightest and met the same fate as the Mighty Demon King.

Everyone looked up and saw that the dark clouds in the sky had completely dispersed, revealing the brilliant sun!

Two graceful figures, as if walking out of the great sun, slowly descended.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Liang, I didn't expect to meet again in such a situation."

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly upon seeing the newcomers:

"What a coincidence, both times it was Fellow Daoist who saved me from danger."

The newcomer was none other than the surviving member of the Jun Family, Jun Ao Zhi's mother, Lin Furen.

Lin Furen smiled gently, like ice and snow melting, and spring blooming:

"I see Fellow Daoist is confident, I fear you wouldn't need my help and could completely resolve the current predicament on your own."

Gu Liangyuan smiled, noncommittally.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's expression, Lin Furen also felt a murmur in her heart.

Although Gu Liangyuan indirectly admitted it, she really couldn't imagine what means Gu Liangyuan could still have to change the tide of battle at this point.

Thinking this in her heart, Lin Furen showed no trace of it on her face, only continuing to smile and say:

"Transforming into a thousand zhang, the Law of the Net, the Peerless Sword Array, slaying enemies across two Ranks, Fellow Daoist's Divine Ability is truly impressive!"

"Once you reach Soul Transformation someday, within the Seven Peaks, I fear there will be no more rivals."

"The Forgetting Love Dao will also flourish again because of you!"

Gu Liangyuan understood that Lin Furen had already arrived during his battle, but had been hiding in the shadows to observe.

He had been so focused on the battle that he hadn't noticed.

He merely smiled at these compliments.

Beside Lin Furen, there was a young girl in a white dress.

Her eyes were curved, and her smile was like a flower, appearing quite mischievous:

"It truly is a good Divine Ability, especially that move where you directly countered the Mighty Demon King, it's truly captivating."

Saying that, the girl nudged Lin Furen with her shoulder:

"Right, Big Sister."

Lin Furen's face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness upon hearing this.

She gave the girl an annoyed glare:

"No one would think you're mute if you don't speak."

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's inquiring gaze, Lin Furen introduced:

"This is my third sister, Ao Zhi's maternal aunt, Lin Lu."

Gu Liangyuan realized:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lin Lu."

The three exchanged a few more polite words, then Gu Liangyuan asked:

"I imagine Fellow Daoist Lin Furen certainly didn't come just for old times' sake. What brings you to seek me?"

Lin Furen replied:

"The Demon God's Blood you asked me to find last time has been located. Since I used the Qingfu Art on Ao Zhi and saw he wasn't at Forget-Love Peak, I followed him here."

Qingfu Art: There is a peculiar insect in the world called the Azure Money, similar in form to a cicada.

The mother and child of this insect never separate; there is a Law that connects them.

No matter how far apart, the mother insect can always find the child insect.

Later, Cultivators diligently studied this phenomenon and eventually developed the Qingfu Art.

This Spell has no other purpose than allowing the caster to track the whereabouts of the one on whom the Spell is cast.

It is worth noting that the Cultivation of the one on whom the Spell is cast must be at least one Rank lower than the caster for it to be effective.

It is often used in large sects, major factions, or prominent Families to watch over Juniors.

Looking at the System's introduction, Gu Liangyuan's heart stirred. This Spell could be very helpful to him as well.

Therefore, Gu Liangyuan immediately spoke to Lin Furen:

"I have also heard a little about this Qingfu Art; it suits me quite well. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin could provide me with a copy?"

Lin Furen didn't hesitate at all, taking out a Jade Slip and handing it to Gu Liangyuan:

"It's just a minor Spell. Since Fellow Daoist has asked, how could I refuse?"

Gu Liangyuan took the Jade Slip, and they exchanged more polite words.

While the three were talking, Qianqiu's four disciples and Wu and Li also gathered around.

Jun Ao Zhi, seeing Lin Furen and Lin Lu, wept with joy:

"Mother! I finally see you again."

"Oh, Auntie, you're here too."

"Wuwu, I want to go home, Auntie, you spoil me the most, please take me away."

Lin Furen glared:

"What nonsense are you speaking!"

"A teacher for a day, a father for life."

"Is Forget-Love Peak a place you can come and go as you please?"

Jun Ao Zhi was about to say something else, but his gaze unintentionally swept over and caught a familiar golden light.

It turned out Qianqiu was returning the golden brick to Gu Liangyuan.

Looking at Gu Liangyuan holding the golden brick, Jun Ao Zhi felt a faint pain throughout his body.

He swallowed the words he was about to say.

His head drooped, and he said no more.

Lin Furen also saw Gu Liangyuan's actions, feeling heartache for her son while also finding it amusing.

She had tried to discipline Jun Ao Zhi harshly before, but only received greater rebellion.

She never expected that in Gu Liangyuan's hands, he would be so utterly subdued.

Truly, every dog has its day.

But Lin Furen had no idea that Gu Liangyuan was using a two-pronged approach, combining Physical Body punishment with constant control over Jun Ao Zhi's infatuation value, which was why it had such an effect.
