175: Yang Qiong climbs the Forgetful Peak again

Looking at Granny Wang who pushed the door open, Yang Qiong first frowned, finding Granny Wang's action of entering without greeting a bit rash.

But she immediately reacted to the prophecy Granny Wang spoke of, yet her first reaction was not joy, but a tightening in her heart.

The person in the prophecy had appeared. What was this person's Origin? What was his Cultivation?

Was it really reliable to hand over Yaochi to a stranger just like that?

Did the Ancestral Master of Yaochi truly possess such unfathomable ability, accurately predicting events tens of thousands of years in the future?

What if it was just a coincidence?

In that instant, various concerns flooded her heart.

Let's take it one step at a time. Before confirming this person's ability, I will never hand over Yaochi to him, especially since the other party is a male.

According to the prophecy, this person is the Sacred Lord of Yaochi's fated Dao Companion…

Yang Qiong suddenly thought of Gu Liangyuan, and a sense of vexation welled up in her heart.

Deep down, she seemed to have a longing, wishing it was Gu Liangyuan.

Looking at Granny Wang, who was looking up expectantly, Yang Qiong slowly let out a turbid breath:

"Go, take me to see him. Let's see if he can unlock the Jade Pond Restriction first."

Granny Wang showed a difficult expression:

"Replying to Sacred Lord, that person ran away."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Yang Qiong's puzzled gaze, Granny Wang told Yang Qiong everything that had happened earlier, one by one.

After listening, Yang Qiong felt a little more relaxed.

It was good that he ran. This way, she would have more time to maneuver.

However… both Granny Wang and that Disciple felt that this person looked familiar, which was strange.

There were few male Spirit Beasts even in Yaochi, so how could they both feel familiar with a young man at the same time?

Her first thought was Gu Liangyuan. If there was a young man they were all familiar with, Gu Liangyuan would be the first.

Moreover, there had been no news of Gu Liangyuan since the Bei Dou Pass battle, and the timing also matched.

He was also severely injured, which also fit.

But there were a few questionable points here.

Firstly, from Bei Dou Pass back to Supreme Sacred Ground, he would indeed pass by Due Holy Land north of Eastern Continent, but Yaochi was in the eastern part of Eastern Continent. It wasn't exactly going in opposite directions, but it was too far off.

Secondly, she considered herself quite familiar with Gu Liangyuan. According to what Granny Wang said, the methods this person used, she had never seen or heard of from Gu Liangyuan.

A Dragon Pao with Dragon horns, and a Hunqing Lotus Platform for travel.

Most importantly, she was very sure that Gu Liangyuan did not have a third eye.

Unless… this third eye was some Divine Ability that could be hidden.

"If this person were Gu Liangyuan, it would seem quite good too."

Gu Liangyuan's mischievous smile when he threatened her reappeared in Yang Qiong's mind.

She didn't know what she associated with it, but a layer of mist seemed to appear in her eyes.

Seeing Yang Qiong lost in thought, Granny Wang softly spoke:

"Sacred Lord, what do we do now? We still need you to make a decision."

Granny Wang's words brought Yang Qiong back to her senses. She suddenly asked:

"Granny Wang, do you think this person resembles Gu Liangyuan?"

Granny Wang listened, and her eyes suddenly brightened:

"He does look a bit like him. No wonder I felt so familiar."

Yang Qiong's eyes flickered for a moment, then she immediately ordered:

"Prepare the carriage, we're going to Supreme Sacred Ground."

"Yes."

And so, Yang Qiong sat on the Jade Chariot, leading a group of Elders, and headed grandly towards Supreme Sacred Ground.

As for Gu Liangyuan, driving the Hunqing Lotus Platform, he arrived outside the Supreme Sacred Ground a minute later.

However, the price paid made Gu Liangyuan's heart ache greatly. In just one minute, five immortal jade had been consumed.

Xiao Jin, on the other hand, felt this extreme speed and excitedly howled.

Looking at the frolicking Xiao Jin, Gu Liangyuan's face darkened.

This silly Dragon Pao is truly unreliable.

He flipped his hand and took out a small bottle of True Dragon Blood.

As soon as the cap was opened, the fragrance emanating from the True Dragon Blood immediately filled the air.

Smelling this familiar scent, a hint of panic flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.

No, I haven't played enough yet.

Unfortunately, the instinct for Physical Body evolution suppressed his playfulness, causing him to walk towards Gu Liangyuan step by step.

Upon reaching Gu Liangyuan, he knelt on all fours, opening his mouth wide.

Gu Liangyuan then poured the entire small bottle of True Dragon Blood into Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin was once again enveloped in a cocoon of light and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Liangyuan put him back into the Spirit Beast Bag:

"With dozens of drops of True Dragon Blood, this should be enough for you to advance to Soul Transformation, right?"

After speaking, as Gu Liangyuan's thoughts shifted, the Wu Chen Clothes flashed with light, turning back into a white robe.

Then, he put away his Innate Divine Eyes and stepped into the Supreme Sacred Ground.

After a hurried greeting to Lü Qingmei, he didn't even have time to see his Disciples before plunging into the Enlightenment Tower.

Three days outside, fifteen days inside the tower.

Three days later, Gu Liangyuan walked out of the Enlightenment Tower, looking refreshed.

After half a month of recuperation, he had not only fully recovered, but his Physical Body Cultivation had also advanced another level:

Host: Gu Liangyuan

Spiritual Root: Empty Spiritual Root

Identity: Forget-Love Peak Master

Comprehension Ability: Supreme

Physique: Heaven-Given Dao Body, Innate Divine Eyes

Cultivation: Soul Transformation Fourth Heaven

Physical Body Cultivation: Soul Transformation Fifth Heaven

Law: Water, Fire, Killing, Space, Yin and Yang, Chess

Origin: Killing Origin

Dao Fruit: Chess Dao Fruit (Embryonic Form)

Cultivation Technique: Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture, Yellow Court Scripture, Sun Moon Glass Body…

Divine Ability: Chess World, Heavenly Net, Instantaneous Movement, Sun and Moon in Sleeve, Ao Zhan Fa…

Items: longevity peach, Nine Kill Sword, Mo Tan Kill, Twelve Earth Swords, Three Heavenly Swords, Enlightenment Tower, Five Thief Banner…

Special Items: Pseudo-Immortal Strike (Two Strokes)

Spirit Beast: Dragon Pao

Disciples: Qianqiu, Song Xianer, Mo Chen, Jun Ao Zhi, Oriental Heng, Wan Wan

Unfinished Missions: "Empress's Path", "Eight Direct Disciples"

He mainly glanced at the increase in Cultivation, and as usual, Gu Liangyuan simply skimmed over the other items.

But when he saw the longevity peach in the System panel, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered this longevity peach was obtained when Qianqiu's talent was Awakened, and it could extend Lifespan by two thousand years.

He hadn't used it before and had left it in his mustard seed bracelet to gather dust.

But this longevity peach seemed to be usable in conjunction with the Heavenly Net Formation.

If Song Rentou could exchange eight hundred years of Lifespan for Cultivation comparable to Body Integration, then using two thousand years of Lifespan, he could probably exchange for Mahayana Peak.

Good, good, another life-saving trump card.

Although the Bei Dou Pass battle consumed the Mahayana experience card, while gaining various Spirit Treasures, it also added many halberd soldiers and generals to Mo Tan Kill. Overall, it was not a loss.

As soon as Gu Liangyuan stepped out of the Enlightenment Tower, he felt a fragrant breeze, and then a weight in his arms.

Looking down, it was Qianqiu tightly embracing him, burying her face deeply into his chest, sobbing softly:

"Master."

That single word, Master, contained both the joy of reunion and Qianqiu's self-reproach.

Gu Liangyuan gently stroked Qianqiu's beautiful hair:

"Master is here, it's alright."

Feeling Gu Liangyuan's warm hand and the embrace she had longed for day and night, Qianqiu's heart gradually calmed down.

Gu Liangyuan saw Qianqiu's self-reproach and gently comforted her:

"Didn't Master come back safe and sound? Since Master dared to pursue Zhuge Yu back then, I had the confidence to retreat unharmed. You don't need to blame yourself."

Qianqiu softly hummed, but the self-reproach in her heart was not so easily dispelled.

She made up her mind to Cultivate diligently.

One day, she would also protect her Master, just as her Master protected her.

And like her Master held her, she would embrace her Master…
