Gu Yuan responded, whether Feng Shaojie was sincere or not, at least for the goodwill of others, he was quite grateful.

As for the news Feng Shaojie mentioned, he didn't have much concern.

The Gu God Sect is based on Gu techniques, with countless bizarre and strange Gu insects, including many insidious and vicious ones that are hard to guard against.

Some powerful Gu Dao cultivators can even use some formidable Gu insects, using Celestial Human Realm cultivation, to plot and kill Golden Core Great Cultivators, which is also the power of Gu techniques.

However, Gu Yuan had his own confidence.

Both the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede are exotic insects of the Golden Grade, in some sense, they also belong to the category of Gu insects.

And they are of the Gu King level type — although not yet mature bodies.

But even so, once releasing a trace of aura, ordinary Gu insects would not dare to offend.

Even something like a Thunder Spider is somewhat inferior in grade.

Therefore, with these two spirit pets guarding, unless Lv Kun pulls out a Gu King of the same level, Gu Yuan has nothing to fear.

Even if Lv Kun really has a Gu King, Gu Yuan has the confidence to handle it accordingly.

Seeing Gu Yuan full of confidence, Feng Shaojie nodded and stepped aside without saying more.

At this moment, Gu Yuan looked at Lv Kun not far away and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Lv, now... you can start sealing your cultivation, right?"

"Hmph, no need for you to remind me."

Lv Kun said coldly, then he formed seals with both hands, circulating his cultivation in a special way, beginning to use a special secret technique to seal part of his internal cultivation.

His aura began to gradually weaken and lower.

Only when it was almost the same as Gu Yuan's did he stop.

Gu Yuan's divine thought swept back and forth over him to confirm, then was assured.

Then, he waved his hand, and a middle-aged man came over, expression indifferent, "Since the two of you are going up the Life and Death Platform, it's necessary to sign this Life and Death Contract."

As he spoke, a servant behind brought a tray forward, with a scroll on it.

The scroll looked neither black nor white, hazy gray, covered with mysterious patterns, exuding a strange aura.

The Life and Death Platform is set up to resolve conflicts between cultivators. To go up the Life and Death Platform, one must sign the Life and Death Contract, thus taking responsibility for one's own life and death, and cannot violate the agreement, which is also a form of contract.

The Life and Death Contract has a profound and mysterious restriction set on it.

If one party regrets afterward, it violates Qiongming Market's rules, will be subjected to the market's settlement, and more severely influenced by the Life and Death Contract's restriction, resulting in soul extinction.

This is also why Gu Yuan dared to have a magical battle on the Life and Death Platform with Lv Kun.

At least on the Life and Death Platform, it's all based on skill, with no ambush.

"Of course."

Gu Yuan responded with a smile, then stepped forward, opened the Life and Death Contract, confirmed the contents written on it one by one without errors, and forced a drop of blood onto it.

With a flash of red light, Gu Yuan signed the Life and Death Contract.

Gu Yuan stepped back and looked at Lv Kun, the intention clear without words.

Lv Kun, with a cold face, did not speak. He stepped forward a few steps, repeated the same procedure, and after dripping blood, with a flash of red light, the Life and Death Contract took effect immediately, two beams of hazy gray light flew respectively towards Gu Yuan and Lv Kun.

Gu Yuan, seeing this, did not dodge, allowing the gray light to fly in, enter his body, merge into his dantian, and formed a mass of gray light, motionless.

Gu Yuan didn't care, his figure leaped up, landing on the Life and Death Platform.

Then, he immediately activated Sword Dao Divine Techniques, a bluish-green barrier materialized on his body.

It appeared thin but was actually condensed from sword qi, not only having astonishing defense but could also trigger sword qi to attack enemies.

Gu Yuan wasn't very familiar with Gu techniques before, and didn't know much, so to prevent being plotted against, he started preparing in advance.

Lv Kun flew onto the Life and Death Platform, seeing Gu Yuan's actions, sneered: "Do you really think that just a single barrier can block the profound and extensive Gu techniques of my Gu God Sect?"

"Then, let me show you the power of our sect's Gu techniques!"

Before the words were finished, Gu Yuan sensed an extremely dangerous feeling coming from behind. Before he could react, a sword humming sound erupted within him.

Clang!!!

The sound resounded powerfully across the sky, carrying an unwavering killing intent!

Clang!

A brilliant and dazzling silver sword light burst out from within Gu Yuan, with just a slanted slash, it produced a violent metal clashing sound, causing the entire Life and Death Platform to tremble slightly.

Upon closer inspection, the sword light had clearly struck a golden pearl.

Round, the size of a longan, shining with golden brilliance, as if cast from pure gold.

However, upon closer inspection, this golden pearl had a head and legs, clearly a particularly rounded peculiar beetle!

Though the head was a little small, and the legs a little short and thin, it was indeed a strange insect, not just a golden pearl.

Then Gu Yuan was taken aback.

His Silver Flood Dragon Sword was a magical artifact with sixty-three restrictions, extremely sharp, and could easily cut through Profound Iron and Refined Copper without infusing True Qi.

Just now, under the urging of his True Qi and Sword Intent, even a thick wall cast from Iron Mother could be easily slashed open.

Yet this little beetle actually withstood his sword, a fact that shocked him.

Clang clang! Clang clang!

The clash between the golden beetle and the sword light produced crisp, clear sounds, even with the restriction on the Life and Death Platform, those outside found it ear-piercing.

Golden light and silver light intertwined, dazzlingly bright, with one side sharp and agile, ever-changing, and the other straightforward, yet extremely hard, chasing and clashing on the Life and Death Platform.

This scene left many people secretly gasping, hearts pounding.

Merely seeing their trial moves, it was evident that both their swordsmanship and Gu techniques had reached a high level.

Both the sword light and the golden light were seen as something most people wouldn't dare to contend with.

"Immensely hard and indestructible, is this possibly the legendary Vajra Gu?!"

While controlling the Silver Flood Dragon Sword and observing this insect, a spark of inspiration flashed in Gu Yuan's mind, and he finally remembered the origins of this Gu insect.

Vajra Gu, derived from the Buddhist Sect's notion of indestructibility.

Some high monks of the Buddhist Sect often cultivate their corporeal bodies into Golden Bodies, not only having various divine techniques but also indestructible and impervious to decay.

It is said that the Vajra Gu's predecessor was an ordinary beetle.

Later, a grandmaster of Gu Dao understood the ultimate principle of Gu Dao, feeding the Golden Body of a Buddhist master to the beetle, ultimately nurturing this immensely hard, supremely strong Vajra Gu!

This Vajra Gu has no other special features, only being extremely fast and incredibly hard!
