195: Yao Chi in the left hand and Tai Shang in the right hand!

Looking at Gu Liangyuan, who possessed the demeanor of an Immortal and was neither servile nor overbearing, a monstrous wave surged in the hearts of the eight people!

Originally, they were skeptical of what Lü Qingmei had told them about Gu Liangyuan's past.

After all, everything seemed so Xuanhuan, especially the part about breaking through Greed Wolf Pass; they held serious doubts.

The Tai Shang Sect and the Ancient Mo Dynasty had long-standing grievances, and they all had some understanding of Bei Dou Pass.

Let alone Gu Liangyuan, even if these old monsters themselves made a move, they might not achieve such a record.

It was not their fault for not believing, for who could guess the existence of something like a System?

But, they had just personally witnessed Gu Liangyuan breaking through!

This Gu Liangyuan truly broke through realms as easily as drinking water, and Undergoing Tribulation was as simple as an itch, just as Lü Qingmei had said!

Coupled with that Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability and the potential of a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, they dared not imagine what it would be like when Gu Liangyuan fully matured!

The eight people quickly stepped forward to help Gu Liangyuan up, each smiling broadly:

"Junior Martial Uncle, there's no need for such formality, no need."

The shock in Tianyi Old Man's heart was even more intense than that of these eight people!

Others didn't know, but he had personally watched Gu Liangyuan enter the Enlightenment Tower with a Soul Transformation eighth-level Cultivator.

Breaking through three realms consecutively was certainly shocking, but what shocked him the most was that Gu Liangyuan didn't experience a Heavenly Tribulation!

The Heavenly Tribulation, the further it progressed, the greater its power.

For Cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm like them, it was a nightmarish existence.

Yet, Gu Liangyuan directly bypassed the Heavenly Tribulation to advance.

This directly shattered his previous understanding!

Although he was shocked, he remained calm on the surface, concealing this matter for Gu Liangyuan, thinking of asking Gu Liangyuan privately after it was over.

If he mastered this method, then his Immortal Ascension was within reach!

Gu Liangyuan glanced out of the corner of his eye, seeing Tianyi Old Man's loyalty suddenly rise to eighty-five, feeling somewhat inexplicable.

Tianyi Old Man was aware, but the others were not, only thinking that Gu Liangyuan had undergone the tribulation in another place.

Therefore, they didn't pay too much attention to this point, only marveling at Gu Liangyuan's rapid increase in cultivation.

It usually took hundreds of years for a typical Soul Transformation Cultivator to reach Void Refining.

Even a Prodigy like Lü Qingmei took over a hundred years.

But Gu Liangyuan only took a few months to go from Soul Transformation to Void Refining!

Half a year from Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, and a few months from Soul Transformation to Void Refining.

Everyone else progressed slower the further they went, but Gu Liangyuan progressed faster the more he cultivated; who could stand this?

Everyone had their own thoughts, but none showed it on their faces.

The main purpose of the eight Grandmasters coming was originally for the Chaos Qi, but the shock Gu Liangyuan brought them far outweighed the Chaos Qi, so it was naturally cast aside.

However, Lü Qingmei did ask:

"Junior Martial Uncle, what happened to you in the tower just now? How did you trigger the phenomenon of the sun and moon being in the sky at the same time?"

Gu Liangyuan merely brushed her off with a casual reply: "I just had some insights."

Gu Liangyuan thought he was casually brushing her off, but Lü Qingmei nodded deeply, completely believing him.

Given Junior Martial Uncle Gu Liang's Comprehension Ability, it was very reasonable for him to comprehend some kind of heaven and earth phenomenon.

Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lü Qingmei looked around, then said to the several Grandmasters and the Seven Peak Masters:

"This is not the place for conversation. Why don't you all follow me to the Limitless Hall for a chat?"

Everyone looked at Lü Qingmei, then at the solemn-faced Yang Qiong, knowing that Lü Qingmei had important matters to discuss with them, and they all nodded, following Lü Qingmei back to the Limitless Hall.

The other Elders, being sensible, did not continue to follow.

Upon arriving at the Limitless Hall, Lü Qingmei casually activated the protective formation.

A single sentence escaped her lips, startling everyone present!

"I wish to yield my position to Junior Martial Uncle Gu Liang, allowing him to become the co-lord of the Tai Shang Sect and the Yaochi Sacred Ground!"

The bewildered Gu Liangyuan was a little confused.

What was going on?

He could understand Lü Qingmei abdicating, but what was going on with Yaochi Sacred Ground?

And so, Gu Liangyuan's gaze fell upon Yang Qiong.

Under everyone's gaze, Yang Qiong let out a light breath and recounted the prophecy of the Yaochi Sacred Ground and the events that had transpired.

However, she omitted the part of the prophecy that stated the new master of Yaochi Sacred Ground was her fated Dao Companion.

After all, no matter how high Yang Qiong's status, she was still a woman, and while such matters could be discussed privately, in such a formal setting, she still found it difficult to speak.

After listening, everyone suddenly understood and collectively turned their gaze to Gu Liangyuan.

All of Gu Liangyuan's confusions were explained at this moment.

No wonder Yang Qiong was so concerned about the Three-Eyed Youth; no wonder Lü Qingmei kept silent about this matter.

However, there was still one thing he didn't understand:

"Junior Sister Yang Qiong, why are you so certain that Three-Eyed Youth was me?"

"I believe I did it flawlessly; it's impossible for anyone to expose me."

Yang Qiong rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan and handed the recording stone back to him.

Gu Liangyuan's expression was strange after watching the recording stone.

Using a recording stone to record the recording of another recording stone, isn't this my trick?

Gu Liangyuan's mind raced, and he quickly pinpointed a person: Liu Ruyan!

He didn't think Liu Ruyan would be so kind as to come and help; he figured she must have shot herself in the foot.

Empress Ruyan, what a good person!

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to him, Gu Liangyuan spread his hands:

"I originally intended to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to discover me."

"I'm not pretending anymore; I'm laying my cards on the table."

As his voice fell, Gu Liangyuan's expression became solemn.

In an instant, his Dharma Idol was majestic!

Golden light flickered between his brows, and his eyes shot golden beams, piercing the sky!

The Hunqing Lotus Platform beneath him glowed brilliantly!

He patted his spirit beast bag, and the sleepy Little Gold appeared out of thin air.

Due to being forcibly awakened, his steps were a bit wobbly.

His round, large eyes looked at Gu Liangyuan, revealing foolishness and innocence.

It seemed to be asking, why did you wake me up?

Gu Liangyuan understood Little Gold's confusion and tossed Little Gold back into the spirit beast bag:

"Nothing, just wanted you to wake up and go back to sleep."

Little Gold: ...

Wuwuwu, I, Little Gold, am so miserable.

Although she had been mentally prepared, seeing Gu Liangyuan in this form with her own eyes still made Yang Qiong a little excited.

So, it really was him.

Lü Qingmei spoke again, explaining why she wanted to yield her position to Gu Liangyuan, and all her and Yang Qiong's schemes.

Finally, she added:

"Once the Eastern Continent is unified, we will have the power to contend with the Three Great Dynasties!"

"At that time, the Tai Shang Sect can be re-established, fulfilling the ancestors' unfulfilled wish of the entire sect's Ascension!"

In Lü Qingmei's description, it was as if the entire Eastern Continent was within reach!

The several Peak Masters listened with shining eyes; they had long known about Gu Liangyuan's various divine peculiarities.

Regarding Lü Qingmei's intention to yield her position, not only did they not find it inappropriate, but they felt it was only natural.

They just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Senior Sister (Junior Sister) has a meticulous mind and unparalleled planning; we have no objection to this."

The Ancestral Masters also nodded repeatedly, approving Lü Qingmei's plan.

However, the leader sighed faintly and said to Lü Qingmei:

"The sect master yielding her position is rare in the entire history of our Tai Shang Sect."

"This act benefits the Tai Shang Sect, the Yaochi Sacred Ground, and the Eastern Continent, but it only troubles you."

Lü Qingmei, however, took it very lightly, shaking her head and chuckling:

"I don't think so."

"With my talent, if I relinquish this sect master identity and focus wholeheartedly on cultivation, it might just add another Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerful being to our Tai Shang Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Grandmasters nodded slightly, also finding it reasonable.
