Chapter 517: Chapter 349: Master Overbearing, Only Venerable Command Seal!

Within the gate of the Yunji Sect, under the eyes of several Daoist Embryos, it was actually possible to escape unscathed.

This scene left all the cultivators watching in great shock, utterly astonished.

"It’s merely the residual power of a Golden Seal from a Daoist Embryo Demon Cultivator, so there’s no need to panic."

"Just a mere Golden Core can’t stir up anything significant, the dharma assembly continues to compete for the second and third places!"

"There’s no need to compete for the first place anymore, Cloud Dream Marsh, Loose Cultivator Lii Feiyu, is the top winner of this dharma assembly!"

"Is there anyone who disagrees?"

At this moment, a mighty voice suddenly sounded from above the clouds, calming everyone and directly announcing the winner of the assembly.

This was the voice of a Daoist Embryo Master speaking.

Who would dare to disagree?

Moreover, Gu Yuan had already demonstrated thunderous methods, causing everyone to be intimidated and not dare to contend with him, so being declared the top winner was merely a rightful recognition.

Yet, everyone was still curious, urgently wanting to know what exactly happened just now.

Who exactly was that Loose Cultivator from Que Mountain, Wei Xingyuan?

Why did he possess such means?!

With such questions lingering in their minds, the rest of the assembly seemed to become dull and uninteresting.

Some people didn’t even want to watch the rest of the assembly anymore; they just wanted to see Master Feiyu.

However, ever since the Yunji Sect’s Daoist Embryo Master announced the top winner, Master Feiyu had disappeared, leaving the Golden Lotus Platform empty.

...

...

Mist and clouds lingered, moisture filled the air, and before them lay a lake surface smooth as a mirror.

Above the lake, a crystal palace formed by countless streams quietly stood.

At this moment, Gu Yuan stood on the lake surface, in front of the Crystal Hall.

He knew the Yunji Sect’s True Person had brought him there, so he did not resist, merely standing quietly in place.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the clouds rolled, and a figure composed of countless cloud q appeared before Gu Yuan.

"Slash!"

The cloud figure spoke coldly without a word, and three invisible small swords flashed instantly, attacking Gu Yuan.

It was then that Gu Yuan noticed, without knowing when, there were already three clusters of emerald green spiritual light on his shoulder.

Fetal Light, Refreshing Spirit, Dark Essence.

The three souls stood on his shoulders, the Dao Sword attacked!

A massive crisis emerged in Gu Yuan’s mind, and without thinking, his brow flashed with thunder, as if a third eye opened, unleashing infinite Divine Soul Power to strike at those three Dao Swords.

"Whoosh!"

Yet the three Dao Swords merely flickered slightly in the air and vanished, reappearing behind Gu Yuan, merely inches from slashing the three clusters of Soul Light on his shoulder.

But suddenly, the clouds exploded, the three Dao Swords disappeared, and the cloud figure vanished as well.

Gu Yuan’s figure uncontrollably lunged forward, and when he appeared again, he was already inside the Crystal Hall.

Within the hall, mist was everywhere, enveloping it like an Immortal Realm, and at the center was a prayer mat. A young cultivator with sideburns sharp as knives, sword-like brows and starry eyes was sitting cross-legged, seemingly breathing in and out.

Despite the young appearance, the aura around the cultivator was deep like an abyss, enveloping the void, making one subconsciously ignore his age, filled with a sense of fear.

Yunji Sect, top cultivator of the Late Stage Daoist Embryo, Master Ziyang!

Suddenly, Master Ziyang opened his eyes, with divine light like electricity, looking at Gu Yuan.

"What sect do you cultivate in? Why change your appearance?"

Master Ziyang spoke, his voice rich, yet he immediately saw through Gu Yuan’s Formless Seal.

Gu Yuan wasn’t surprised upon hearing this; he used this method to change his appearance and conceal his traces only to hide from Great Cultivators of the Late Stage Golden Core. This was to avoid endless coveting and trouble after obtaining the Tier Four Barrier-Breaking Pill, getting caught in a never-ending battle to guard the pill.

As for the Daoist Embryo Masters, he never intended to hide.

He reckoned that the thousand-year-old Yunji Sect wouldn’t have a True Person act to seize this Tier Four Barrier-Breaking Pill from him.

That would be far too shameless.

The True Person wants to seize this pill, just a small maneuver at the Dharma Assembly would suffice, why go through such trouble.

Besides, he is not entirely without backing.

"To report to the True Person, this junior is a disciple of Cyan Peak Daoist School in South Mountain Domain, currently practicing under Thousand Waves Sect, listening to Dao under Master Cangming!"

Gu Yuan saluted and replied with a bow.

"A disciple of South Mountain Domain Daoist School? Under Celestial Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Master Ziyang was also somewhat surprised.

He could see through Gu Yuan’s true identity and had presumed that Gu Yuan was certainly a disciple of a Major Sect, not a Loose Cultivator, yet hearing about his origins from South Mountain Domain Daoist School, he was still a bit amazed.

The South Mountain Domain is barren, the Daoist School is indeed under the Celestial Palace, but with the changes in major trends, it should have been a long time since it heard the sound of the upper realm, yet it could still cultivate such a figure, truly remarkable.

"In a poor domain, feared to be plotted against, thus concealed by a method of disguise, making the True Person laugh."

Gu Yuan bowed again in salute.

"Able to deceive the many cultivators present, it’s their lack of insight, it’s your skill, what’s there to laugh about?"

Ziyang slightly shook his head, indifferent, even somewhat appreciating Gu Yuan.

After slightly pondering, Master Ziyang still asked, "Are you willing to join my Yunji Sect and take the position of Peak Master?"

"This junior has deeply appreciated the education of the Daoist School, unable to repay, truly difficult to leave, hope the True Person will understand!"

Gu Yuan naturally did not agree, directly bowing and frankly refusing.

"I was not thoughtful enough."

Hearing this, Master Ziyang sighed lightly and no longer discussed the matter.

If Gu Yuan were a Loose Cultivator, he might have had a few chances, but also coming from a Tier Four Major Sect, still under Celestial Palace, then there’s no need.

"Now tell me about what happened inside that Demon Cultivator’s Pocket World!"

Master Ziyang asked again.

Gu Yuan didn’t hide anything, recounting the strange actions and words of the Demon Cultivator Golden Core, but naturally concealing the transformation of the Dragon Body, only speaking of artifacts like the Muddy Cloud Boundary Determining Gui, which stopped the person.

Master Ziyang perhaps knew there was some falsity in it, but he did not expose it, carefully listening to what the Demon Cultivator had said, immediately showing a thoughtful expression.

"As I expected, this person should have inherited Master Overbearing’s legacy, received his Only Venerable Command Seal, hence going through all this trouble, seeking your trouble, and also why he was able to escape alive beneath my eyes."

Master Ziyang’s expression was somewhat pensive.

"Master Overbearing? Only Venerable Command Seal?!"

This person and seal, Gu Yuan had never heard of before, immediately showing a puzzled expression.

"Master Overbearing was a Loose Cultivator from thousands of years ago, rising from the grasslands, unbeaten in battles, all the way cultivating to the Daoist Embryo Realm."

"The reason he could rise was because he obtained a peculiar Life Seal, Only Venerable Command Seal!"

"This seal is exceedingly strange, possessing the capabilities of both Life Seal and Body Seal, initially not obvious, having no changes to the cultivator’s Life Chart and Root Bone, but if seeking someone for Magical Combat, defeating or even killing them in front of others, then the seal would absorb Mysterious Power, enhancing the seal master’s Life Chart and Root Bone, making it unimpeded during cultivation, Realm-Breaking as easy as drinking water."

"Back then, this Master Overbearing searched for cultivators everywhere, every time the Dharma Assembly or grand event in East Mountain Realm, he would certainly take the stage to compete, thereby enhancing his Life Chart."

"However, this seal had a drawback, the further along, the more reliant it becomes on the Life Chart, ordinary methods of Realm-Breaking Technique are useless to it, wanting to break through the realm, one must constantly engage in Magical Combat, defeat others, constantly enhancing Life Chart Root Bone!"

"It’s akin to gambling one’s life!"

"And once failed, the Life Chart greatly diminishes, the path of Realm-Breaking immediately blocked, nearly no hope of advancement."

"In lesser times, this Master Overbearing was undefeated in the world, defeating groups of heroes, the Overbearing title, also stems from this."

"But as cultivation deepened, the opponents encountered became stronger, thousands of years ago, he had reached late stage Daoist Embryo, no longer able to ascend, could only seek Magical Combat."

"Ultimately in the Que Mountain Range, he angered a Demon King who had cultivated for countless years, the two engaged in fierce combat for long, eventually vanished."

"Thinking now, probably already fallen, the inheritance scattered in this mountain range, obtained by Wei Xingyuan."

Master Ziyang had a profound realm, practiced for many years, knowledgeable and well-versed, immediately spoke of a hidden secret.

Only Venerable Command Seal, although it has great drawbacks, the benefits are also evident, even for cultivators recklessly defying the heavens, able to win in Magical Combat can break the realm, what can be better than this?

Anyway, failing in Magical Combat is death, so the supposed cost of failure in Realm-Breaking doesn’t matter.

Therefore, once this seal’s ability unintentionally circulated out, it incited countless people’s coveting, when Master Overbearing allegedly fell, Yunji Sect also secretly dispatched people to search, wanting to find the whereabouts of this seal, bring it back to the Sect.

But Master Overbearing spent his whole life taking risks, probably having long anticipated his own end, thus laid down back-up plans, over the years, no one could obtain this inheritance.

Unexpectedly, it resurfaced today.

Yet, it merely stopped at the Golden Core, ending in defeat, falling at Gu Yuan’s hands.
