185: 10,000 times cashback card received
Looking at the three 10,000x Critical Strike Cards in the System space, if the situation wasn't so inappropriate, Gu Liangyuan would have truly burst into song.
From the moment he took Song Xianer as a Disciple until now, he had finally obtained these three Critical Strike Cards!
Since he activated the System until now, he had only triggered the 10,000x Return three times.
One time was from the Incomplete Forget Love Sutra, which returned the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture.
One time was the Nine Kill Sword.
One time was the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.
The Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture had already become the Foundation of Forget-Love Peak; even when Disciples only reached the second layer, the Forgetting Love Realm, their Cultivation speed was already comparable to Immortal Scriptures.
Even Song Xianer, who was an Immortal Reincarnation and had seen much, had no thoughts of changing her Cultivation Technique, which showed how extraordinary it was.
Moreover, unlike other Mysterious Skills, it didn't have various Cultivation restrictions like Spiritual Root; all living beings in the Heavens could Cultivate it!
Its importance was self-evident.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Incomplete Forget Love Sutra itself was an Incomplete Manual of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill.
The Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth and the Nine Kill Sword went without saying, especially the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, which had helped him fight across Realms multiple times!
Besides these, the highest return Gu Liangyuan received was an 8,000x return when he bestowed the Art of War upon Qianqiu, which directly returned a nascent Dao Fruit.
During this time, Gu Liangyuan had also searched for information about Dao Fruits; although he hadn't found out the specific use of Dao Fruits, he roughly knew that it was something Immortals yearned for but could not obtain.
After the excitement, Gu Liangyuan felt a bit conflicted.
Currently, he had several copies of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill that were not returned by the System, and nearly a hundred types of Small Divine Abilities!
Magic Treasures and spiritual items were even more numerous, making him ponder which one to use the Critical Strike on.
Feeling the gazes of his three Disciples, Gu Liangyuan collected his thoughts.
It was not advisable to make decisions during moments of great joy or sorrow; he would wait until he had obtained that orb.
Thinking of this, Gu Liangyuan pointed a finger at Zai Xiyue, and a black robe immediately covered her tightly:
"This robe has the effect of concealing Heavenly secrets and blocking Divine Sense."
"It's not convenient for you to go out and meet people in your current state, so just wear this black robe for now."
Zai Xiyue naturally agreed without hesitation:
"Thank you, Revered Master."
Just like that, Gu Liangyuan led the way, and his three Disciples gathered behind him, beginning to chat.
The main topic of discussion was still about Zai Xiyue.
After hearing about Zai Xiyue's tragic experiences, the two girls immediately felt sympathy and began to intentionally cheer Zai Xiyue up.
The three girls chattered away, chatting enthusiastically.
Gu Liangyuan, walking ahead, seemed to have a smile on his lips and was leisurely traveling, but in his heart, he had already become vigilant.
The reason was none other than that he saw a System panel in the Void Realm not far ahead.
And he was very familiar with the owner of this panel:
Name: Liu Ling
Identity: Elder of Purple Bamboo Holy Land (already possessed by Liu Ruyan's residual soul)
Cultivation: Body Integration Middle Stage
Spiritual Root: High Grade Wood Spiritual Root
Laws Comprehended: Law of Life and Death
Comprehension Ability: Immortal Talent
Divine Abilities: ...
...
There was a long list after Divine Abilities and Spells, comparable to Song Xianer's.
He had thought that Liu Ruyan had died at Ditian's hands last time, but he didn't expect that only a Physical Body had died.
In a blink of an eye, she had possessed another Body Integration cultivator.
Gu Liangyuan just wanted to say, Ditian was too careless in killing people!
Didn't you know how to reduce someone to ashes and destroy their soul?!
And you gave her a chance to escape!
You deserved to have your son die!
Killing people so carelessly, even without me, you would eventually encounter a Child of Destiny!
Gu Liangyuan didn't think Liu Ruyan was just passing by; it was highly likely that she came for him.
But his recent achievements had spread far and wide; where did she get the courage to assassinate him?
Never mind that, it's better to strike first than suffer later!
Thinking of this, Gu Liangyuan used Instantaneous Movement, taking a single step and appearing before Liu Ruyan.
However, before he could even cast Heavenly Net, the Liu Ruyan in front of him suddenly turned into a phantom and shattered.
Gu Liangyuan extended his Divine Sense, but within five thousand li, there was no longer any trace of Liu Ruyan.
Song Xianer followed up with a solemn expression:
"This is the Nine Cicada Shedding Art. One shedding covers twenty thousand li, two shed twenty thousand li, and using all nine shedings can cross several Star Domains. It is a unique skill of my Song family."
Listening to Song Xianer's words, Gu Liangyuan frowned.
I hate two kinds of people the most in my life.
One kind is those who catch up to me when I'm escaping.
The other kind is those who escape and I can't catch them!
But as the saying goes, it's not the thief stealing that's scary, but the thief constantly thinking about you.
He had already discerned Liu Ruyan's current identity and now had a direction for his plan.
The next time they met, it would be the day she completely disappeared from this world.
Song Xianer looked at Gu Liangyuan's displeased expression, feeling quite guilty.
She wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat, unable to utter any emotional words.
She only made up her mind that she must quickly improve herself to help her Master alleviate his worries.
This minor setback did not affect the journey of the Master and his three Disciples; they continued towards Tong City.
On a barren mountain ten thousand li away, Liu Ruyan recalled the scene that had just unfolded, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.
Last time, she had waited for a long time on the Rakshasa Sea coast for Ditian to not arrive. Relying on her superb stealth techniques, she had infiltrated the Taiyi Holy Land.
But no matter how much she searched the entire Holy Land, she couldn't find any trace of the Gold-Devouring Beast.
She had intended to attack Ditian, but within the Holy Land, she wasn't confident of retreating safely after making a move.
After all, her main purpose in coming to this Realm was Song Xianer; if she died because of this, it would give Song Xianer time to grow, which would be a net loss.
So, she then stealthily made her way to the Supreme Sacred Ground.
Although she ultimately didn't enter Forget-Love Peak, she indirectly found out that Gu Liangyuan had indeed brought a little girl back.
Thinking back to Gu Liangyuan's cunning methods against her before, Liu Ruyan almost immediately concluded that the Gold-Devouring Beast must have been taken by Gu Liangyuan, who also took the opportunity to trick Ditian.
New hatred and old grudges surged in her heart, and she developed a killing intent towards Gu Liangyuan.
Forget-Love Peak had a cultivator Undergoing Tribulation guarding it, and it was under the watchful eyes of those old monsters in the Supreme Sacred Ground. She dared not act rashly, only waiting for Gu Liangyuan or Song Xianer to leave the Holy Land before making her move.
But what she didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the opportunity to act, she received shocking news!
Gu Liangyuan broke through four stages consecutively and slayed a Thunder Calamity Realm cultivator!
This was fighting across four Realms!
Liu Ruyan felt that she could also achieve it using secret arts, but the price of using secret arts was extremely severe.
If things went wrong, the battle might not even be over, and she would die from the backlash of the secret art first.
She couldn't achieve the kind of cultivation increase Gu Liangyuan had, which had almost no side effects.
Not only could she not do it, but as far as she knew, no one in the entire Immortal Realm could do it.
Exchanging Lifespan for cultivation, or Physical Body for cultivation, all had logical explanations; it was merely temporarily transforming other energies into cultivation.
But Gu Liangyuan's power seemed to have appeared out of thin air. This unfathomable method made her temporarily abandon the idea of attacking Gu Liangyuan.
Yes, she chickened out.
She, who was two major Realms higher than Gu Liangyuan and possessed partial memories of the Immortal Realm, chickened out!
She had never thought before that there would be someone in the Lower Realm at the same Realm who would make her wary.
Let alone someone with a lower cultivation than her.
While admitting defeat, she also felt somewhat aggrieved. She staked out near the Supreme Sacred Ground, thinking of killing Song Xianer first.
But she waited for a month.
A month later, Song Xianer finally came out, but she came out with Gu Liangyuan!
Liu Ruyan had already thoroughly investigated all of Gu Liangyuan's information, and she had naturally heard a little about that Wisdom Eye. In desperation, she hastily retreated.
However, she was unwilling to miss such an opportunity and merely followed from a distance.
She dared not approach within Gu Liangyuan's Divine Sense range, fearing that Gu Liangyuan would expose her.
She lost track of them several times during this period, but she used other methods to manage to follow them all the way.
Along the way, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
She, a dignified Immortal residual soul, would actually be intimidated by a Gu Liangyuan.
Thus, she made the probing move she had just done.
She used all the various stealth techniques she knew in her mind, thinking that as long as it wasn't an Immortal descending to the Lower Realm, no one would be able to detect her.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she hid, she was exposed by Gu Liangyuan.
She was on the verge of collapsing!
She didn't dare to pursue, nor did she dare to fight.
When had I, Liu Ruyan, with my Clones traversing countless Realms, ever been so aggrieved!
