144: Killing field, play chess again!
The crowd waited for another half an hour, only to see Gu Liangyuan completely enveloped by Innate Purple Qi, with Dao Runes continuously flowing around him, yet he showed no signs of waking up.
This Epiphany of Gu Liangyuan was more intense than all his previous Epiphanies.
Lü Qingmei, who was below, suddenly thought of something and asked Mo Chen, who was frowning as if deep in thought about what he had just comprehended:
"By the way, what urgent matter did you have with your Master?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen suddenly came back to his senses and slapped his forehead:
"Oh no, I was so focused on comprehending the Dao that I forgot about the important matter!"
He spoke to Lü Qingmei urgently:
"I was just playing chess with Elder Chess Maniac in the Enlightenment Tower, and halfway through, Tianyi Old Man suddenly came over."
"He and Elder Chess Maniac both love chess, so naturally, the two of them started a game."
"It was fine at first, but when they reached eighty or ninety moves, sweat started to seep from Elder Chess Maniac's forehead."
"By the one hundred and tenth move, he was already in a state of madness, his mind unstable."
"Before I came, they had already reached one hundred and forty moves."
"Elder Chess Maniac kept muttering to himself, saying things like 'impossible' and so on."
"At that time, his Heart Demon had already sprouted, he was spitting blood, his hair had turned white, and his Dao Heart was unstable, which is why I rushed to seek help from Revered Master."
Saying this, Mo Chen anxiously paced back and forth again:
"Another hour has passed; I'm afraid Elder Chess Maniac has already suffered Qi Deviation by now."
Lü Qingmei heard this and lightly furrowed her brows:
"That shouldn't be; I don't think Tianyi Old Man is someone who would cause trouble without reason. How could it have escalated to this point?"
Oriental Heng, who was beside them, listened to their conversation and decisively spoke:
"The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers."
Qianqiu nodded in agreement:
"Testing the waters, luring the snake out of its hole; Tianyi Old Man is here for Revered Master."
Lü Qingmei thought about her conversation with Gu Liangyuan a few days ago, looking thoughtful:
It seems this is what Junior Martial Uncle spoke of, an opportunity to keep Tianyi Old Man on Forget-Love Peak.
It's just that at this critical moment, Gu Liangyuan is still in Epiphany.
Thinking of this, Lü Qingmei glared at Mo Chen.
It's all this kid's fault!
Mo Chen looked innocent:
"I didn't want to either, but Epiphany is like the sky raining; I can't stop it even if I want to."
"Who knows what's wrong with Master; as soon as he's touched by Dao Runes, he passively enters Epiphany."
Listening to their conversation and looking at Mo Chen's innocent expression, the onlookers' mouths twitched.
Do you hear that? Is that what a human says?
What do you mean 'passive Epiphany'!?
Epiphany, which others desperately seek, why do you speak of it with such disdain?
Sometimes the gap between people is truly vast!
As they spoke, Gu Liangyuan in the air seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.
Almost at the moment he opened his eyes, his Primordial Spirit appeared above his head, and a killing aura extended ten miles away from his body, forming a special Domain. Within this Domain, Slaughter Sword Intent crisscrossed.
Noticing Gu Liangyuan's abnormality, everyone turned their heads.
"This is... the legendary Sword Domain?"
A Sword Cultivator spoke hesitantly, his words somewhat uncertain.
Someone asked:
"Patriarch Wang, what is a Sword Domain?"
Patriarch Wang explained:
"The pursuit of a Sword Cultivator is Sword Intent; above Sword Intent is the Sword Domain!"
"Those who wield swords in the world are as numerous as carp in a river, but those who can comprehend Sword Intent are one in ten thousand, and among them, those who can comprehend the Sword Domain are even rarer."
"The Sword Domain, it's been hundreds of years since anyone was heard to have comprehended it."
"To be able to comprehend the Sword Domain can be said to have cultivated the Dao of the Sword Cultivator to its extreme!"
"It's just that due to the scarcity of those who comprehend it, there isn't much information circulating on the continent, and it's only regarded as a legend by countless Sword Cultivators."
The crowd gasped. They were not Sword Cultivators and didn't have a strong concept of the Sword Domain, only knowing that what Gu Liangyuan comprehended was very powerful.
At the same time, a System prompt sounded in Gu Liangyuan's mind:
"Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the Perfection-level Slaughter Sword Intent from the Law of Slaughter."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the Slaughter Sword Domain from the Slaughter Sword Intent."
"Slaughter Sword Domain: A method extended after Sword Intent reaches Perfection, which can assist the host in combat."
"Once an enemy enters the host's Slaughter Domain, they are completely cut off from the outside world."
"This isolation is not only the isolation of Spiritual Qi, but also the isolation of Divine Sense, Law, and even Origin, making it a Supreme means for fighting above one's cultivation level."
"Note: The Slaughter Sword Domain will expand as the host's cultivation improves, and its effect is better when combined with the Law of Slaughter!"
Gu Liangyuan looked at the System's introduction and was very satisfied.
After Soul Transformation, besides Spirit Treasures, what people competed on was the application of Laws.
It was precisely because of the blessing of Laws that the power of Divine Abilities could be fully unleashed.
Without the blessing of these Laws, one's combat power would be reduced by thirty to forty percent.
Rounding up, didn't that mean his combat power would increase by another thirty to forty percent?
It was not in vain that he comprehended for so long; this wave was not a loss.
Gu Liangyuan withdrew his Primordial Spirit and then checked his body through introspection.
What Gu Liangyuan didn't expect was that his cultivation had also broken through to Soul Transformation Third Level due to this Epiphany.
Moreover, in his Sea of Consciousness, on that golden horizon, there was actually some purple mist.
A Detection technique was cast, revealing only eight simple characters: "Innate Purple Qi, guarding the spiritual platform."
Upon careful sensing, this purple mist intertwined with the Sea of Consciousness and had no ill effects.
Half a Dao Fruit, a four-zhang Primordial Spirit, Innate Divine Eyes, Gu Liangyuan already had quite a few strange things within him. With the thought that many fleas don't bite, Gu Liangyuan didn't pay too much attention.
After realizing there were no ill effects, he no longer bothered with it.
After retracting his mind, Gu Liangyuan glanced in the direction of the Enlightenment Tower, said to those below, "Light Eyebrow, see them out for me," and then his figure flickered, heading straight for the Enlightenment Tower.
He had heard Mo Chen's words just now.
Anyway, he had already said what needed to be said before, and there was no need for him to be overly polite with these Family members.
He also understood that Tianyi Old Man must have come for him.
Whether he could keep him on Forget-Love Peak would depend on today.
Lü Qingmei heard Gu Liangyuan's words and was about to turn her head to say something to these people.
However, she saw everyone transform into streaks of light, chasing directly after Gu Liangyuan.
Since they were idle anyway, they might as well go watch the excitement.
Only a group of Family Disciples were left, staring at each other blankly.
Lü Qingmei, helpless, instructed Elders Song and Wang a few words about the Disciples' accommodation, and then she also took Qianqiu and the others to the Enlightenment Tower.
