"That wretched Li Changqing clearly harbors ill intentions... However, he can endure without making a move, clearly he won't easily let things go. He must be plotting something!"

Gu Yuan walked a short distance, then looked back over his shoulder: "Fortunately, the 'Primordial True Water Scripture' I cultivate excels at concealment. Plus, with my talent for Turtle Breath and the Spiritual Turtle's Abyss, both are concealment talents."

"As long as I intentionally hide my cultivation, even Master He Ling True Master may not be able to see my depth. This way, even if someone is plotting against me, with my cultivation strength, I can surely give the opponent a great surprise!"

After foundation establishment, achieving the Celestial Human Realm, and incidentally mastering an upper grade Sword Dao Divine Technique, his cultivation and combat power surged significantly, granting Gu Yuan full confidence to handle most troubles.

Upon reaching Wangyan Mountain, He Ling True Master was already waiting there.

Apart from He Ling True Master, Gu Yuan also saw Xia Mingyang, Xia Xiuxue, and Niu Youde, among others.

"Disciple has kept Master waiting for long!"

Gu Yuan hastily stepped forward to pay his respects.

As for Little Qing, she had already been stored in his storage pouch in advance.

"Alright, no need for formalities."

He Ling True Master smiled and waved his hand. He was, of course, aware of Gu Yuan's actions during this period and knew what Gu Yuan was up to.

To his eyes, Gu Yuan's cultivation seemed to remain the same, yet there was a new aura about him that even he couldn't fully discern.

He Ling True Master felt a mixture of surprise and uncertainty but did not delve deeper into it.

This disciple of his not only had astonishing talent but also harbored some secrets. Not to mention, his connection with that Peach Blossom Fairy was quite extraordinary, which left him greatly taken aback.

Secondly, the foundational Daoist scripture Gu Yuan acquired was extremely mystical, definitely not inferior to the core secret transmissions from Medicine King Mountain.

Regarding this, He Ling True Master was not particularly concerned but rather happy for Gu Yuan.

After all, how many cultivators are there without secrets or opportunities?

The more secrets Gu Yuan had, the more opportunities it implied he possessed.

And often, a cultivator's opportunities are closely linked to their fortunes; with Gu Yuan's many secrets, it signified his prosperous fortune.

Many Yin God Giants, Yang God abilities, and even Primordial Spirit True Immortals might lack in talent or background, but when it comes to fortune and blessings, they are undeniably top-notch. Otherwise, they wouldn't achieve such Dao Fruit.

Being his disciple, the better Gu Yuan's fortunes and blessings, the higher his future achievements, bringing only joy to He Ling True Master instead of curiosity.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Niu Youde and Xia Xiuxue hurried forward to salute and greet, addressing him as senior brother.

The trio was not far apart in age, with the two even slightly older than Gu Yuan. Yet, in the cultivation realm, age is never a crucial factor in determining one's status or position.

Cultivation and talent are.

As fellow Inner Sect Disciples, Gu Yuan surpassed them significantly in terms of talent, with great future potential. Being stronger in cultivation and apprenticed to He Ling True Master, he was already the best candidate for a True Disciple in everyone's hearts.

Calling him senior brother was only appropriate.

"Junior Brother Gu."

Xia Mingyang, however, addressed Gu Yuan as a junior brother, his expression unchanged, yet this address caused Xia Xiuxue's expression to become somewhat unnatural.

She had a thin skin, unlike the cunning Xia Mingyang, naturally uncomfortable with this father-daughter equivalent peer relationship.

Meanwhile, Li Changqing also arrived with an old servant.

Everyone stood atop Wangyan Mountain, silently waiting in the dim night, speaking no more.

Once dawn arrived, the morning sun rose, spreading a warm sensation.

Soon, Gu Yuan suddenly felt somewhat flustered, a heavy, oppressive feeling filling his heart.

Feeling something amiss, he looked up and saw a large shadow casting down from the sky, obscuring the sun.

In the distance, a massive flying ship approached.

This was an enormous tower ship, entirely in purple and red, with the bow as a lifelike dragon head sculpture, exuding an aura of majesty and ferocity, as if ready to leap out and wreak havoc at any moment.

On the tower ship, there were many pavilions and terraces, even fake mountains and ponds, not to mention a Spirit Field Garden.

Above, some sinewy, robust warriors patrolled, clad in sturdy armor, while some beautiful women in white clothes held flower baskets, shuttling between the garden and pavilions, their clothes fluttering gracefully, postures ever-changing.

In the hilltops and valleys, amidst the drifting mist, some white deer, jade rabbits, and Immortal Cranes played and frolicked.

From afar, the whole tower ship seemed like an aerial island, home to some Immortals!

Such a colossal object flying towards them from afar naturally exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure!

Gu Yuan felt as if the immense spiritual pressure from the giant ship was overwhelming, like an ancient Divine Mountain crushing down, oppressively so, even causing the circulation of his Primordial True Qi to falter slightly.

"What a terrifying giant ship!"

He fixed his gaze on this giant ship appearing slow but actually moving fast and said: "To possess such a foundation, Medicine King Mountain truly lives up to being a Great Immortal Sect occupying an entire state!"

"But compared to the Red Dragon Immortal Palace deep within the Yunmeng Mountain Range, it still falls short."

Recalling a fleeting glimpse from the past, of that magnificent, resplendent Red Dragon Immortal Palace, radiating countless beams of light, Gu Yuan formed a judgment in his heart.

"This is..."

Niu Youde, Xia Mingyang, and Xia Xiuxue all stood dumbfounded, looking up with wide eyes.

Witnessing this scene, their faces drastically changed, also immensely shocked.

When had they ever seen such a grand spectacle?!

Even though Li Changqing hailed from a millennium-old cultivation family, how could the Li Family compare to Medicine King Mountain?

Besides, Li Changqing was only around twenty years old himself, his age and experience limiting him from ever witnessing such a scene?

He too was fairly shocked.

"Medicine King Mountain..."

Li Changqing's expression was wooden, yet his tightened fists, with bulging veins, revealed his unsettled heart.

Using such a flying ship as a vehicle, flanked and served by countless warriors and maids, commanding countless others to toil relentlessly at one's command was precisely the demeanor he envisioned for those in the Immortal Dao.

"This is one of Medicine King Mountain's supreme treasures, called the Suspended Dragon Boat, a flying treasure of magical treasure grade, refined with immense Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, also infusing a flood dragon soul near to dragon transformation, possessing another world within, with a space spanning dozens of miles. At full power, it once rammed and killed several Golden Core Great Cultivators, as well as a Yin God Giant."

He Ling True Master's demeanor remained composed, giving a brief explanation to the crowd.

What he said left everyone shocked, their view of the Suspended Dragon Boat completely changed.

Not long after, the Suspended Dragon Boat arrived above the crowd, parting the clouds. A dazzling purple-red radiance enveloped them.

As the purple-red light withdrew, the figures of the crowd vanished accordingly.

...

Gu Yuan only felt an unstoppable mighty force envelop him. In an instant, he found himself appearing on a deck.

Not just him, but He Ling True Master, Niu Youde, and others as well.
