Chapter 609: Chapter 389: Bottleneck Gold Seal, Taking Control

"Fellow Daoist, what is the reason behind all this commotion? It can’t possibly be just for the Engraving of Repayment, can it?"

Gu Yuan gently pinched the Sword Pill with his fingers and asked Qinn Yun while staring at her.

If it were before, Qinn Yun would absolutely not have revealed anything.

But Gu Yuan’s earlier demeanor already showcased his approach to dealing with matters.

This is not a person who can be easily manipulated.

Moreover, his techniques are quite extraordinary; just from that one sword technique alone, Qinn Yun’s evaluation of him rose a level higher in her heart.

This is definitely the Supreme Swordsmanship at the Golden Core Peak.

"Have you ever heard of the Bottleneck Gold Seal, Fellow Daoist?"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Qinn Yun softly asked.

"I have not."

Gu Yuan shook his head.

"This is an imprint secretly passed down in Guanghan Palace, and only the true core disciples can cultivate it."

"On ordinary days, this seal shows no peculiarities, but when one’s cultivation is unable to progress and is difficult to break through bottlenecks, it can manifest a mysterious and wondrous power, signaling a chance for realm breaking."

"I have been cultivating to the realm of the Golden Core Peak for sixty years, yet till now this seal hasn’t moved. Even at the Dragon Banquet, it remained still. But once I entered this tower and got assigned together with you, this seal suddenly trembled, confirming the opportunity."

"I don’t know what this opportunity is, but it seems inextricably linked with you, which is why I stuck by your side. Using the Engraving of Repayment was merely an attempt to accumulate small benefits to hopefully make you useful to me."

Qinn Yun recounted the series of events calmly, without hiding anything.

"There is actually such a Dharma Seal in this world?!"

Gu Yuan was suddenly taken aback.

The ability of this seal is quite profound and seems somewhat similar to the Stone Liquid.

Guanghan Palace truly lives up to belonging to a Tier Five Sect; both the Engraving and Bottleneck contain mysterious powers of which he had never heard before, a wondrous seal method.

"This seal contains the power of the Golden Seal but can only be used by those at the Golden Core First Realm. Once breaking through to the Daoist Embryo, this seal will scatter with the wind, and can no longer be used."

Qinn Yun shook her head slightly, seemingly a bit helpless.

"Since you had this seal, why didn’t you tell me earlier, Fellow Daoist? Why go through so much trouble and damage our harmony?"

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly.

Although it seemed like he was blaming her, he actually understood her intentions.

This matter is secretive, naturally, one wouldn’t want others to know. If it were him, he might have acted similarly.

However, to make such plans concerning himself, Gu Yuan could certainly not tolerate it.

This is indeed a double standard, but the world is as such, and cultivation even more so; it’s impossible for things to be entirely fair.

Gu Yuan did not mind this.

He is not a saint and can accept his own "dark thoughts," as long as they are not too extreme.

"I didn’t know where the opportunity lay either, so I had no choice but to take this desperate measure..."

Hearing this, Qinn Yun sighed deeply as well.

The opportunity should be on this person, but his methods are extraordinary and not easy to manipulate, so what should she do?

Should she ask the elders in the palace to make a move?

But she wasn’t the only one at the Golden Core Peak in the palace, and she had exhausted all her favors to enter the Demon Palace.

"Let’s put the matter of the opportunity aside for now. If you are willing, Fellow Daoist, the two of us can temporarily join forces to explore the Secret Realm together."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Gu Yuan took the initiative to speak.

The opportunity of the Bottleneck Gold Seal lies with me?

That means I can help Qinn Yun break through to the Daoist Embryo?

If the other party can break through to the Daoist Embryo, why can’t I? Perhaps this opportunity could also assist me?

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan felt that temporarily traveling with this woman wasn’t a bad idea.

"Really?"

Qinn Yun was somewhat pleasantly surprised and asked softly.

This Yuann Feiyu was so cautious that she refused to part with the Engraving of Repayment even for a moment, yet now, upon knowing the secret, he was still willing to travel with her?

"If within my capability, and if it doesn’t violate my Dao Heart, why can’t I help a Fellow Daoist break through to the Daoist Embryo?"

"This is a fortunate thing, perhaps I might even gain a Daoist Embryo Master as a friend!"

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, his eyes appearing "pure."

"If it truly can be so, I will surely give back to you, Fellow Daoist, and never let you be disappointed!"

Qinn Yun immediately raised her hand, as if making a solemn vow, and said earnestly.

"This Divine Dream Fruit, I ask you to take it, Dao Brother, and let’s not count it as a favor!"

Seemingly to validate her words, Qinn Yun conceded at once.

The Seven Profound Tower Realm dissipated, and the Divine Dream Fruit fell into Gu Yuan’s hand like a stream of light.

"Since that’s the case, then I thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Gu Yuan put away the Divine Dream Fruit, smiling with satisfaction, and the two of them set up their Escape Light, flying together towards the Land of Celestial Wind.
