90: Chapter 88: Qiankun Daozi? But he is just a bidder

Chapter 88: Qiankun Daozi? Merely a Show-off!

A moment later, Gu Shengge followed Pei Yuhan to a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was serene and quiet, with rich Spiritual Qi. A gentle breeze swept through, and the green bamboos swayed like drunken beauties, their leaves fluttering down, creating a beautiful scene.

“Gu Daozi, my humble abode is simple. I’m afraid Gu Daozi will have to make do here for the next few days. If you need anything else, you can send me a message. As long as the request isn’t excessive, the Sword Sect will try its best to satisfy Gu Daozi.”

Pei Yuhan pointed to an exquisite small building within the bamboo forest and said calmly.

Gu Shengge nodded, smiled slightly at her, and said, “Thank you, Miss Pei. I don’t have anything else here, so I won’t bother Miss Pei any further.”

Hearing this, Pei Yuhan did not linger in the bamboo forest building. She simply left a communication jade slip and then turned to leave.

Watching the white-robed female Sword Immortal’s retreating figure, Gu Shengge knew that Pei Yuhan had a poor impression of him due to his previous presumptuousness, but he didn’t much care.

After all, he and Pei Yuhan were merely acquaintances.

Perhaps after leaving the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the two of them would never meet again in the future.

Among Cultivators, unless they are blood relatives or close friends, they rarely take the initiative to contact each other, often not seeing each other for decades or even centuries.

Decades or centuries would be enough time for Gu Shengge to Ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Entering the bamboo forest building, Gu Shengge was not at ease with the building’s Formation, so he set up three more grand Formations himself before finally sitting down to Cultivate with satisfaction.

Sitting on the meditation cushion, Gu Shengge observed the Twelve Divine Shaman Ancestors within his body. They were gathered together, each in a different posture. They appeared to exude monstrous Evil Qi, yet they contained an ultimate divine charm, resembling twelve young Divine Gods, solemn and sacred.

The Twelve Divine Ancestors Great Formation slowly rotated, and faintly, a blurry figure flickered within the Formation.

“Nascent Soul Great Perfection, there’s no further progress to be made…”

Gu Shengge murmured. The Twelve Divine Shaman Ancestors had all condensed, and his Realm had reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

To advance further, he must comprehend the Heavenly Concept, fuse with the Nascent Soul, connect with heaven and earth, overcome the Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, and transform the Nascent Soul into a Law Primordial Spirit.

However, to comprehend the Heavenly Concept, becoming a Mortal is one option, and comprehending the Concept of predecessors is also an option.

Gu Shengge’s thoughts drifted. Given his situation, apart from becoming a Mortal, there seemed to be no third method.

Ultimately, it was because Gu Shengge’s foundation was too profound and too complex.

Azure Expanse Cultivators do not have the burden of Spiritual Root. Anyone can enter the Dao, it's just that the Dao they Cultivate is different.

And the Heavenly Concept originates from the Dao one Cultivates.

For example, Tantai Qingxuan, who Cultivates the Dao of Ruthlessness, comprehends the Concept of Frost and Silence. Once the Concept is unleashed, heaven and earth freeze, and all things perish.

For example, Emperor Yang, who Cultivates the Dao of Fire, comprehends the Concept of Burning Heaven. Once the Concept is unleashed, two suns illuminate the world, burning heaven and refining earth.

Although Gu Shengge entered the Dao through lightning methods, he possessed twelve Divine Nascent Souls with different attributes. If he were to simply comprehend the Concept of Lightning Dao, he would still be unable to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

“This is truly troublesome.” Gu Shengge couldn’t help but sigh.

If he really had to comprehend twelve Concepts himself, how much time would that take, and how many times would he have to become a Mortal!

Unless he could comprehend a supreme Concept, Soul Transformation would be difficult.

Moreover, what is called becoming a Mortal is not simply turning into a Mortal and living a Mortal life, but rather traveling throughout heaven and earth, observing the changes of heaven and earth, the rotation of all things, and comprehending one’s own Dao.

“Forget it, let nature take its course.”

Gu Shengge reined in his thoughts and no longer pondered the matter of Soul Transformation.

Whether it’s Soul Transformation or becoming a Mortal, both are processes of Cultivation. Forcing it often leads to failure.

Only by letting nature take its course and following one’s heart can one attain the Great Dao.

With a thought, the chat group interface appeared before Gu Shengge. Seeing that there were still only five group members, not enough to enable space-time Transmigration, he closed the chat group again.

As for the messages in the chat group, Gu Shengge simply ignored them.

… … … …

On the other side, Pei Yuhan returned to her small courtyard. Just as she was about to meditate and comprehend the sword, clearing the haze from her mind, she saw a figure appear outside the courtyard, asking Pei Yuhan with concern:

“Senior Sister, where did you go? I just came to look for you, but you weren’t here.”

Seeing that the visitor was her Junior Brother, Pei Yuhan showed a hint of warmth on her face, waved her hand to open the courtyard gate, and explained, “It’s nothing, I just went to receive a distinguished guest. Junior Brother Lin, why are you here instead of Cultivating on Heavenly Sword Divine Mountain? Is there something wrong?”

Lin Tian heard this and feigned grievance, saying, “Can’t I come to see Senior Sister if there’s nothing wrong? Since Senior Sister doesn’t welcome me, then I’ll go back to Heavenly Sword Divine Mountain and continue my seclusion.”

With that, Lin Tian was about to leave.

Pei Yuhan saw this and quickly called out to Lin Tian, “Junior Brother, you’re overthinking it. How could Senior Sister not welcome you? Come in quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian immediately turned and walked into the small courtyard.

Pei Yuhan waved her hand, and a tea set appeared on the stone table. After pouring a cup of clear tea for herself and Lin Tian, she continued to ask:

“Have you told Revered Master that you left Heavenly Sword Divine Mountain?”

Lin Tian was Chu Yue’s youngest Disciple, taken in eighteen years ago. He possessed a natural Sword Body and, after entering the sect, spent most of his time on Heavenly Sword Divine Mountain, Cultivating by Old Ancestor’s side.

Lin Tian picked up the clear tea, took a light sip, and then nodded, “I told Revered Master, and Old Ancestor also let me come down the mountain. He said that the Qiankun Daozi of Qiankun Taoist Sect has arrived and wants me to interact more with that Daozi, which will help my Cultivation.”

“Qiankun Daozi…”

Mentioning Gu Shengge, Pei Yuhan recalled his previous “offense.” Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn’t help but put down her teacup.

Noticing her Senior Sister’s unusual behavior, Lin Tian asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Senior Sister? Do you have a conflict with this Qiankun Daozi?”

“It’s nothing, just…”

Pei Yuhan did not hide anything from her Junior Brother. She told Lin Tian about Gu Shengge saying that her name was similar to a female character’s name in a storybook and asking her some questions.

After listening, Lin Tian’s handsome face showed a hint of anger. He said in a deep voice, “This Qiankun Daozi is too much! How could he compare Senior Sister to someone in a storybook!”

Looking at her angry Junior Brother, Pei Yuhan told him to calm down and instructed:

“Junior Brother, there’s no need to get angry over such a small matter. Gu Daozi didn’t mean any harm, he was just curious. But don’t be like him and get lost in storybooks, understand?”

Lin Tian: “Senior Sister, don’t worry, I am not someone who loses ambition over trivial things.”

However, as soon as he thought about his Senior Sister, who was like a sister and mother to him, being “teased,” a surge of anger rose in his chest. He wished he could pick up his Purple Cloud Sword and fight the Qiankun Daozi.

“Good, as long as you know.”

Pei Yuhan didn’t notice Lin Tian’s unusual behavior, but she did remember that Revered Master had previously said that Lin Tian would not be allowed to leave the mountain until he Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Now that Junior Brother was down the mountain, could it be that he had already Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?

“Junior Brother, have you Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?”

“Yes, I was fortunate enough to Breakthrough.”

Lin Tian said modestly, but the pride on his face was hard to conceal. After all, Breakthrough to Nascent Soul at twenty-three years old was already a top Prodigy in the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and no one could compare to him.

Even Pei Yuhan, who was the Sword Sect’s Great Senior Sister, was more than a year later than him.

Although he had just Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, Lin Tian believed that even a Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage would definitely not be a match for him, who possessed a natural Sword Body.

As for that Qiankun Daozi, in his eyes, he was merely a show-off, whom he could destroy with a single sword strike!
