#169 - Show your power in front of Gu Yuan’s people!
The conflicts and contradictions between the aristocratic factions and the orthodox lineage of Medicine King Mountain have a long history and are well known.
Today, the aristocratic factions are powerful, with a multitude of talents. There is Li Changsheng, who possesses the Pure Yang Dao Body and whose elixir reached the first grade, and Sun Jin, who has the Five Thunder Dharma Body and whose talent is no less than Li Changsheng's.
In addition, there are other geniuses with various talents.
On the other hand, the orthodox lineage is gradually weakening.
They have only a few insignificant individuals.
Not to mention disciples with Dao Bodies, even those with Spiritual Bodies are few and far between.
It was only recently, when Realist He Ling made a special trip down the mountain, that he recruited Gu Yuan, Niu Youde, Li Changqing, and Xia Xiuxue, all of whom possess Spiritual Body talents.
Among them, Li Changqing is an undisguised spy.
As for Gu Yuan, he is the best of the group.
He possesses two Spiritual Body talents and has been accepted as a disciple by Realist He Ling, clearly being entrusted with an important task, being cultivated as the future pillar of the orthodox lineage.
Now, Liu Xinjun's public proposal to spar with Gu Yuan is clearly not just a simple exchange.
The conflict between the aristocratic factions and the orthodox lineage, if not at daggers drawn, has reached a state of open and covert struggle.
Moreover, although Gu Yuan has good talent, his cultivation time is short, and he is currently only a Xiantian Martial Master. This is of course quite remarkable in the secular world, but in the eyes of many disciples of Medicine King Mountain, it is merely decent.
Liu Xinjun's proposal to spar with him is clearly aimed at Gu Yuan, wanting to make him lose face.
If Gu Yuan agrees, he will obviously not be Liu Xinjun's opponent, and the result will only be defeat, even a crushing defeat.
If he does not agree, he will be seen as timid as a mouse, and he will only be ridiculed, and Realist He Ling will lose face.
"Senior Brother Gu…"
Xia Xiuxue hesitated.
Her understanding of the internal affairs of Medicine King Mountain is no less than Gu Yuan's, and she is well aware of the seriousness of the matter.
Realist He Ling values Gu Yuan more than his own eyes. If Gu Yuan is provoked and loses face, it is a small matter, but if he is seriously injured or even has his foundation destroyed, it will be a big deal.
Li Changqing watched this scene with his arms crossed, a sneer on his face.
He looked like he was enjoying the show.
The white-haired old servant silently lagged behind a few steps, standing behind him.
Everyone knows his identity, so Li Changqing's reaction is not surprising.
"Junior Brother Gu, this Liu Xinjun is a leader of the aristocratic faction, cultivating the 'Seven Kill White Tiger Saber'. It is rumored that this divine power is related to the 'Western White Tiger True Scripture' created by an ancient great power who comprehended the Western Way of Slaughter. It is a saber technique and Dao book created by a Yuanshen expert who was inspired by comprehending the 'Western White Tiger True Scripture'."
"Although its grade is not a Heaven-grade Dao book, it is also a peak Earth-grade Dao book, which complements Liu Xinjun's Geng Metal Spiritual Body."
At this time, Sha Luosheng's somewhat anxious voice sounded in Gu Yuan's mind:
"He has already gained the qualification to compete for the position of a true disciple within the sect and is a popular candidate for the True Inheritance Competition. Junior Brother, you have not yet advanced to the Celestial Realm, so do not fall for his trick."
"Know that temporary gains and losses, honor and disgrace, are nothing. With your extraordinary talent, you will surely surpass him in the future…"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Sha, for the reminder, but I am no longer the Gu Yuan I once was, so I plan to give it a try."
Gu Yuan looked at Sha Luosheng and transmitted his voice.
Sha Luosheng frowned, a hint of displeasure arising in his heart, feeling that the Gu Yuan before him was somewhat too arrogant.
What kind of person is Liu Xinjun?
He himself has extraordinary talent and has cultivated Daoist magic powers that are compatible with his talent. He has been a disciple of Medicine King Mountain for nearly thirty years.
Even Sha Luosheng himself does not believe that he can defeat him.
But what about Gu Yuan?
He has only just joined Medicine King Mountain, and has not even gone to the mountain gate to pay respects to the ancestral master. To put it bluntly, he is just a Xiantian Martial Master with good talent, not a cultivator.
But no matter how good his talent is, he will have to kneel before absolute power.
Sha Luosheng felt that Gu Yuan should have gradually developed arrogant and conceited thoughts in his heart because of his own excellent talent during this period.
Gu Yuan met the various gazes of the crowd and smiled: "Since Senior Brother Liu has invited me, how dare Junior Brother refuse?"
Liu Xinjun was stunned, then smiled: "Very good!"
"Since Junior Brother Gu is giving me face, then I, as the elder brother, cannot bully the younger."
Liu Xinjun smiled gently, the true energy in his body flowing out, turning into a illusory but sharp and ruthless blade light, spewing out fierce killing intent:
"Then I will use 10% of my cultivation to condense a Qi weapon to spar with Junior Brother."
"10% of your cultivation?"
Gu Yuan smiled, thinking that Liu Xinjun still had some face, knowing that it would be unchivalrous to bully him, a Xiantian Martial Master, with his Celestial Realm cultivation.
However, even if it is only 10% of his cultivation, it is still bullying.
Once a cultivator reaches the Celestial Realm, the difference between them and a Xiantian Martial Master is not just in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of magical powers, fighting experience, and reaction speed!
Moreover, Liu Xinjun is not an ordinary Celestial Being, and has already come a considerable distance in the Celestial Realm.
Even if it is only 10% of his cultivation, it is enough to rival an ordinary Celestial Realm cultivator.
"10% of your cultivation is enough…"
Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a sharp sword energy flew out, shattering the blade light with a clang.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Gu Yuan smiled and said: "I have also cultivated to the Celestial Realm, so Senior Brother doesn't need to hold back. When you and I spar, we should stop when appropriate!"
Celestial Realm?!
Li Changqing, who was watching the excitement not far away, twitched his mouth fiercely, the smile on his lips freezing on his face:
"How is that possible?! When did this kid build his Dao foundation and cultivate to the Celestial Realm?"
The construction of the Dao foundation is not something that can be achieved overnight, but often requires accumulation and polishing bit by bit.
This process needs to be gradual, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve it quickly. This is also the consensus of the cultivation world.
Even the cultivation of magical powers after the Dao foundation is built still requires a considerable amount of time and energy.
But Gu Yuan's sword energy just now was clearly a magical power!
However, as far as he knows, Gu Yuan was only a Xiantian Martial Master two or three months ago, and was even still in the blood exchange stage.
So the question is, how could Gu Yuan be able to break through to the Celestial Realm in such a short period of time, not to mention cultivate a magical power?
This made Li Changqing very surprised and unbelievable.
Because even he himself has not yet broken through to the Celestial Realm.
But Gu Yuan, whom he regarded as a great enemy, took the lead and broke through to the Celestial Realm!
Xia Xiuxue was also a little dazed.
It can be said that she is the person on the Sky Dragon Boat who knows Gu Yuan best. When she first met Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan was just a small Martial Master, and this was only half a year ago.
But now, only half a year has passed, and he has already broken through the Xiantian Martial Master and then broken through to the Celestial Realm, which has somewhat subverted her worldview.
People say that the path of cultivation is gradual and is the proper way, but what is Gu Yuan's case?
Rising one small realm every month?!
