Chapter 375: Chapter 291: Tribulation Fruit, Core Formation Spiritual Object!

Qingyang Temple.

The bright moon hangs high, ancient trees tower to the skies.

On a solitary cliff, white mist lingers like floating clouds, enveloping the entire mountaintop.

Tall ancient trees twist like flood dragons, their branches dense and thick, casting large shadows in the moonlight, resembling demons, eerie and chilling.

A young man with black hair and a white robe, his chest half-exposed, looking carefree and unrestrained, lifted his right arm, strolling leisurely toward the cliff.

He slightly raised his arm, a layer of obscure spiritual mechanism wrapped around it, seeming injured, yet his expression was indifferent, unconcerned, slowly stepping toward the cliff.

This person was none other than Qingyang Temple’s current Golden Core Chief, possessing Late-Stage Golden Core cultivation, Leng Hanfeng!

On the cliff, there was a stone cave, dark and unlit inside, with numerous profound and mysterious patterns carved into the ancient rock walls, impenetrable even to the Divine Thought of a Golden Core Cultivator.

All divine thoughts and inference techniques seemed to be absorbed by the rock walls.

"You’re back?"

At this time, a faint voice inquired from within the stone cave.

"Back!"

Leng Hanfeng raised his head, asking faintly.

If there were others present, they would notice that the voice in the cave and Leng Hanfeng’s voice were exactly the same!

It was as if an echo resounded on the cliff.

"How was it, did Tiandou notice anything unusual?"

Once again, the voice from the stone cave asked.

"If he had, how could I have returned?"

Leng Hanfeng chuckled.

"Did you engage with him?"

The voice inside the cave asked again.

"Isn’t this your arrangement? To test if I can deceive the heavens and cross the sea? Why ask further?"

Leng Hanfeng sneered again, seeming slightly disdainful.

"How was it?"

"I was slightly inferior; if it came to a real fight, I might die while he gets heavily injured."

Leng Hanfeng sighed slightly, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Don’t be hasty, once you and I achieve the Daoist Embryo, then he will realize the marvel of our Divine Technique!"

The voice in the cave laughed, entirely unconcerned with the result of this magical combat.

"How much longer?"

Leng Hanfeng asked.

"At most a century!"

The voice in the cave said decisively.

"What should I do?"

Leng Hanfeng asked again.

"Watch Tiandou, distract him, prevent him from refining his mind in seclusion, the rest are not to be feared."

"Once I achieve the Daoist Embryo, we’ll have a true Dao Struggle with Cyan Peak Daoist School!"

"Let the world’s cultivators see whether my side door technique can rival the Profound Sect’s True Scripture!"

The voice in the cave, cold with a strong sense of confidence.

Leng Hanfeng nodded slightly, seeing that no more sound emerged from the cave, turned and descended the mountain, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

...

...

Cyan Peak Daoist School, Purple Sun Peak.

Gu Yuan and Sword Fox Immortal sat opposite each other under the pavilion, each sipping tea.

In the distance, numerous treasure boats shuttled back and forth, racing like a hundred boats, further beyond, a massive array tore the void, creating a huge gateway a hundred feet high between heaven and earth.

Boats sailed through the gateway, shattering floating clouds, drawn by the array’s gravity, landing on the river surface, splashing tremendous waves, then refracting into colorful hues under the sunlight.

Countless cultivators and pavilion workers soared up and down, unloading massive crates of goods rapidly with the help of the array.

Amid the clamor, a scene of prosperity unfolded.

"Senior Sister, it seems this journey to the East Mountain Realm yielded quite a bounty!"

Gu Yuan observed the busy scene in the distance, smiling towards Sword Fox Immortal.

A day before, under the orders of Master Tiandou, Gu Yuan and others held nothing back, utterly annihilating the Vast Sea Sect.

The three Golden Core cultivators of Vast Sea Sect were all executed, millennia of heritage destroyed in an instant.

The sect’s Spirit Mountain treasures, countless Spirit Beasts, and Demon Pets were all thoroughly plundered.

And in this destruction of Vast Sea Sect, Gu Yuan and the others gained tremendous merit, especially Gu Yuan, whose contributions were paramount.

Under Master Xuan Guang’s proposal, nearly half of the looted Spirit Ore resources were awarded to Gu Yuan, and he was allowed to first choose an artifact from the treasures left by the three Golden Core cultivators of Vast Sea Sect.

Calculating this battle, Gu Yuan directly gained half of the thousand-year heritage of Vast Sea Sect, truly filling his coffers, with resources sufficient for him to cultivate steadily and comfortably reach Mid-Stage Golden Core.

The only regret was that the three Golden Core cultivators of Vast Sea Sect, upon seeing the situation turn dire, directly self-destructed their Golden Seals.

Otherwise, they could have gained another treasure from this trip.

To defeat a Golden Core Cultivator, unless caught off guard, or if the other is desperately resisting, the Golden Core Cultivator with a single thought can self-destruct the Golden Seal, shattering that trace of Immortal Golden Nature into the heavens and earth, preventing the enemy from obtaining the Golden Seal.

This is also why the Golden Seal is rare.

Otherwise, this single Golden Seal matter would lead to cases of "bullying" among Golden Core cultivators.

"Though East Mountain Realm is prosperous, Junior Brother, securing half the resources in one battle makes you the biggest winner!"

Sword Fox Immortal heard these words, shook her head with a light laugh, her tone filled with emotion.

This junior brother of hers was truly extraordinary.

She had only been in the East Mountain Realm for several decades, and already had such means, if allowed to grow, would it be unimaginable?

Yet each time she saw Gu Yuan’s cultivation progress, she felt a sense of pride as if sharing in his glory.

Her discernment was truly outstanding!

The most talented disciples in the Daoist School over the centuries had all been discovered by her!

She was truly remarkable!

"Haha, just minor gambits, can’t compare to Senior Sister’s commercial routes in the East Mountain Realm, benefiting thousands of disciples, strengthening our Daoist School!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan could only wave it off and drink tea, not daring to claim credit.

"This journey was mainly due to True Person’s strategizing, and Senior Brother Tiandou’s profound skills, otherwise it would have never been that easy."

"East Mountain Realm, abundant in resources, an endless stream of cultivators, without truly pinnacle skills, it’s impossible to establish oneself there!"
