Chapter 611: Chapter 610: A Bountiful Harvest!
"Is it really this unbelievable? He’s just a mere Golden Core Great Cultivator! I haven’t seen even Yin Spirit Giants this strong!"
Young Master Yu felt like his teeth were about to shatter.
First, there was this Five Elements Sword Array and the Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques contained within, followed by the Thunder Skill Great Divine Techniques. How has Gu Yuan, a mere Golden Core Great Cultivator, managed to master these techniques at this phase?
Young Master Yu simply couldn’t understand.
Next, there was no need to continue sparring.
Because although the battle wasn’t decided, Young Master Yu knew well that unless he went all out and used his trump card, there might be some hope; otherwise, even if he exhibited another Great Divine Technique, it would be difficult to break through this Grand Array.
So, the situation was already obvious—he could do nothing to his opponent.
"Fellow cultivator, let’s stop here. I humbly admit defeat."
Young Master Yu retrieved his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Jade Pearl, and admitted defeat decisively, as there was no point in continuing to tangle.
Just after Young Master Yu spoke, Gu Yuan didn’t make any moves. With a thought, he withdrew the Sword Array and Thunder Skill.
"Fellow cultivator truly is formidable."
Young Master Yu cupped his hands, looking at the young man not far away, feeling quite complex.
Thinking back to Young Master Yu’s youth, he was famed across the land, renowned as a peerless prodigious talent.
But even he, during his time in the Golden Core Realm, hadn’t been so extraordinary.
So, Young Master Yu had reason to suspect that perhaps beneath Gu Yuan’s youthful facade was hidden a venerable Primordial Spirit Ancestor.
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain Gu Yuan’s extraordinary performance.
To master the terrifying Sword Array and Chaos Divine Thunder, under normal circumstances, starting cultivation from birth seems nearly impossible to achieve, right?
Thinking this way, Young Master Yu felt a lot more at ease.
"You excessively praise me, Fellow Yu..."
Gu Yuan was very courteous, chatted briefly, then bid farewell to the other.
As for Ancestor Jinsha and Monk Ku Zhu, the former had been expecting it in his heart, while the latter was somewhat stunned.
Clearly, they were shocked by Gu Yuan’s earlier performance.
When did Golden Core Great Cultivators become capable of repeatedly defeating their Yang Spirit Majors?
However, Monk Ku Zhu was obviously not stupid; he quickly figured out that Gu Yuan probably wasn’t as young as he seemed. Thus, the earlier situation could be explained.
Next, Gu Yuan chatted with Ancestor Jinsha and Monk Ku Zhu for a while, exchanged communication Jade Talismans to keep in touch, and then bid farewell.
After he flew southeast for about tens of thousands of miles, confirming no one was tailing him and there were no marks or restrictions placed on him, Gu Yuan’s true body suddenly appeared from beside him.
This time, not only did Gu Yuan’s clone go, but to be safe, even his true body followed along.
For caution’s sake, he remained hidden all along.
Compared to the true body, the clone lacked the Five-mouthed Five-spirit Demon-slaying Sword, a Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, Taiyi Golden Bell, and Creation Cyan Lotus. Thus the clone’s strength was considerably inferior.
To defeat Elder Chaotic Heaven, Gu Yuan had to go all out.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
This time, Gu Yuan not only killed Elder Chaotic Heaven to avenge his uncle-master Zhang Kai but also obtained many good things.
Even Granny Mei Hua, the Yang Spirit Great Demon, a powerful being from the exotic Ink-Plum, also died at his hand.
Thus now, he must first thoroughly digest the benefits obtained this time and convert them into his strength.
The actions he took this time will probably spread soon, and he won’t know what trouble might arise then, so enhancing strength is necessary and the most correct choice.
Ultimately, Gu Yuan still kept his tracks hidden and acted low-key primarily because he wasn’t strong enough.
If he could become a Yang Spirit Major or even a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, Gu Yuan wouldn’t fear anything anymore and could openly walk in the sunlight, without needing to use disguises like "Chu He" or Wang Chan.
Gu Yuan reclaimed the clone and found a secluded place to enter seclusion.
His gains this time were indeed substantial, even huge.
The reason being Granny Mei Hua’s true body, the Ink-Plum, was an exotic Spirit Root containing a massive amount of Yi Wood Essence Qi, even Innate Yi Wood Essence Qi.
Just these things would make any Yang Spirit Major green with envy.
After all, Innate Primordial Qi is something essential for advancing to the Primordial Spirit True Immortal level. Many Yang Spirit Majors can only remain in seclusion for thousands of years, accumulating depths, hoping to gather enough Innate Primordial Qi for advancement to the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm!
It’s obviously not easy.
Transforming Acquired Primordial Qi into Innate Primordial Qi, although Yang Spirit Majors have the capacity to do it, is a very long and arduous process.
Accumulating enough Innate Primordial Qi can often take thousands of years and is not guaranteed to succeed.
Why are most Primordial Spirit True Immortals nowadays from Immortal Dao Sacred Lands, ancient Demon Sects, Buddhist Sect Sacred Lands?
Very few are truly from Loose Cultivator origins!
This is because only those from Immortal Dao, Demon Dao, and Buddhist Sect major sects typically occupy most of the Spiritual Lands and Spirit Veins.
Especially in some large Spirit Veins or even giant Spirit Veins, an abundant amount of Innate Primordial Qi often breeds.
Ordinarily, Acquired Primordial Qi is provided to disciples and Yin Spirit Giants like cultivators, while these valuable Innate Primordial Qi are often sealed away, inaccessible to regular disciples and Elders.
Only very few Yang Spirit Majors have the opportunity and authority to control and use it.
Once choosing to advance to Primordial Spirit True Immortal, this accumulated immense Innate Primordial Qi will be sufficient as the foundation and resources for Yang Spirit Majors to advance!
Acquired Primordial Qi’s value for Yang Spirit Majors has diminished considerably. Only Innate Primordial Qi, or Innate Spiritual Objects and Spirit Roots, are truly valuable!
Why are those Innate Spirit Roots and Spiritual Objects so rare and sought after? It’s precisely because they are exceedingly important for Yang Spirit Majors!
Next were Granny Mei Hua’s collections, which included many treasures.
For example, several middle-grade and lower-grade Magical Treasures or some ancient and rare Spirit Medicines.
And this was just from Granny Mei Hua’s benefits.
The gains from Elder Chaotic Heaven’s body were no less substantial.
First is Elder Chaotic Heaven himself; also a Yang Spirit Major, his body contained numerous Innate Primordial Qi.
The quantity was comparable to the Innate Primordial Qi obtained from Granny Mei Hua.
And then, there was that Black Tower Spirit Treasure.
