212: This boy is an unrivaled evildoer!

However, what they didn't know was that Gu Liangyuan felt regret in his heart.

He had been thinking of using them to test the Sixty-Year Cycle Formation, which comprised five major Formations: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. These five major Formations were further divided into thirty minor Formations, such as Metal in the Sea and Fire in the Furnace.

Combined with the changes of the four seasons, and the cycles of mutual generation and mutual overcoming, the major and minor Formations were endless.

He hadn't expected the two of them wouldn't even last through two Formations.

Looking at their bodies, he pointed a finger, and their bodies instantly turned to ash, leaving only two storage rings lying on the ground.

To avoid suspicion, Gu Liangyuan didn't touch the two storage rings, but instead said to Yang Qiong:

“There must be evidence of their collusion with the enemy in their storage rings.”

Yang Qiong reached out, and the two storage rings were drawn into her hand.

After erasing the remaining Divine Thought on the storage rings, she extended her Divine Sense into them.

After checking, Yang Qiong’s expression turned grim.

She casually handed the storage rings to the two Elders in front of her:

“You two can take a look as well.”

The two Elders extended their Divine Sense and found tokens in both storage rings.

On each token, there was a character 'Mo' inscribed by a Formation.

The two recognized it; this was an entry and exit token of the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

With this token in hand, one could freely enter and exit the Ancient Ink Dynasty’s imperial palace.

The result was clear: even if these two weren’t spies, they had close ties with the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

The expressions of the two Elders instantly became grim.

These two had been by Yang Qiong’s side day and night. If they had harbored malicious intent, the Yaochi Sacred Ground would have changed hands in an instant!

Yang Qiong evidently realized this point. She looked at Gu Liangyuan, and seeing him nod slightly, Yang Qiong immediately ordered:

“Please invite the Six Grandmothers out of seclusion and gather all Elders above the Soul Transformation Realm to my Jade Pool Palace for a discussion!”

“Yes!”

The two Elders only thought Yang Qiong wanted to discuss the spy matter. One stayed to protect Yang Qiong closely, while the other quickly went to relay the message.

Yang Qiong bowed to Gu Liangyuan: “The matter of the spies, I will fully rely on Junior Martial Uncle Gu Liang.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded: “This matter is easy.”

“Please, Junior Martial Uncle, take the main seat.”

Gu Liangyuan nodded gently and walked to the jade chair that symbolized the Holy Lord’s status, sitting down casually.

Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong took two chairs and sat down on either side of Gu Liangyuan, one to his left and one to his right.

This seating arrangement was very clear: the three of them regarded Gu Liangyuan as the most respected.

The Elder who hadn't left below showed a puzzled expression upon seeing this, then seemed to realize something and exclaimed:

“You are the one from the prophecy!”

Gu Liangyuan smiled and gestured downwards with his hand:

“Elder Wang, don’t be anxious. You will know everything once everyone has arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Wang said no more.

He merely swept his gaze back and forth between Gu Liangyuan, Lü Qingmei, and Yang Qiong, seemingly pondering the truth of the matter.

It wasn’t long before people began to enter the main hall one after another.

They bowed to Yang Qiong, but when they saw Gu Liangyuan sitting in the main seat, they seemed to realize something.

Although most people still looked excited, a small portion of them frowned deeply.

Yang Qiong spoke: “We will discuss once everyone has arrived.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped speaking and waited quietly.

Before long, the Jade Pool Palace was packed to the brim.

Twelve Mahayana, fifty Body Integration, over a hundred Void Refining, and eight hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators, all arrived!

“What happened that required us six old women to come out of seclusion?”

Suddenly, an old female voice came from outside the hall. Gu Liangyuan looked up, and six Undergoing Tribulation panels appeared before his eyes.

These six individuals were all of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivation!

And what surprised Gu Liangyuan was that all six of them were Ice Spiritual Root!

Lü Qingmei was also secretly surprised at this moment.

In her impression, the Yaochi Sacred Ground’s strength had always been the weakest among the Four Great Holy Lands.

But looking at this situation, except for the Tribulation Transcendence Realm combat power where the Yaochi Sacred Ground was inferior to the Supreme Sacred Ground, the Cultivators of other Realms were not much weaker than the Supreme Sacred Ground.

In fact, there were even more Body Integration Realm Cultivators than in the Supreme Sacred Ground.

As the six spoke, they appeared out of thin air at the very front of the Elders, looking at Gu Liangyuan, who was seated in the main seat, with surprise and doubt in their hearts.

They tried to use Divine Sense to examine him, but saw that Gu Liangyuan’s body was surrounded by Chaos, making it impossible to discern his depth.

The six of them stopped speaking and looked at Yang Qiong, their expressions indicating that they wanted an explanation.

Just then, an Elder stepped forward and bowed to Yang Qiong:

“Reporting to the Holy Lord, all Elders above the Soul Transformation Realm and Grand Elders, except for those in death seclusion and those who are out, have arrived!”

Yang Qiong nodded gently.

After that Elder retreated, Yang Qiong spoke loudly:

“I have gathered all the Elders here for two reasons.”

“Firstly, after my investigation, Elders Zhao Ying and Li Luo are spies from the Ancient Ink Dynasty…”

Before Yang Qiong finished speaking, the crowd instantly erupted in an uproar, becoming noisy.

“Hiss! These two grew up in our Yaochi Sacred Ground since childhood. I didn’t expect them to do something so disloyal to the Yaochi Sacred Ground.”

“Fortunately, the Holy Lord discovered it early. Otherwise, leaving them in the Yaochi Sacred Ground would sooner or later lead to a great disaster.”

“Oh, don’t mention it, I did see them sneaking around in the back mountain, but I didn’t dare to think of them as spies.”

Everyone voiced their thoughts one after another, but no one questioned the truthfulness of the matter.

After all, they were Yang Qiong’s trusted confidantes. Yang Qiong would never touch them without absolute certainty.

There were also twenty to thirty people whose expressions instantly became somewhat abnormal.

They subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gu Liangyuan saw all of this but remained expressionless.

Yang Qiong lightly coughed. After the crowd quieted down, she continued:

“So, I plan to use this opportunity to root out all these spies.”

“As for the second reason…”

Yang Qiong deliberately paused, looked around, and after surveying the surroundings, she finally spoke:

“I intend to follow the ancestral teachings and abdicate my position to the Three-Eyed Youth from the prophecy, the Taishang Sect Leader Gu Liangyuan!”

Whoosh!

Although they had anticipated it, the crowd once again erupted in an uproar!

It really was him!

Just then, Gu Liangyuan’s Aura shook!

The Three Primordial Spirits within his Spiritual Platform emerged from his body. The Three Primordial Spirits sat cross-legged around Gu Liangyuan in a Three Talents position.

The Killing Primordial Spirit, clad in a red robe, glared with wide eyes, holding Mo Tan Kill across his knees. His Evil Qi surged, as if he intended to kill immediately!

The Chess Primordial Spirit, clad in a white robe, had lowered eyelids and held the Supreme whisk, exuding an air of immortal grace!

The wealth yuan shen, clad in a golden robe, held the Wealth Dao Fruit, radiating golden light!

The main body’s eyes were piercing, his body like Colored Glaze, sitting cross-legged on the Hunqing Lotus Platform. The Innate Divine Eyes on his forehead emitted golden light, startling the heavens above and shaking the underworld below!

The seven great Laws of Slaughter, Karma, Space, Water, Fire, Yin and Yang, and Chess encircled his body!

The Slaughter Domain transformed into red clouds, floating above his head!

Behind him, the Dragon Pao shimmered with golden light, treading on auspicious clouds, and exuding the Qi of a true Dragon.

A roe deerzi with Dragon horns, a Three-Eyed Youth, a green lotus platform!

It matched!

The six Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators at the forefront looked at Gu Liangyuan’s Dharma Idol with mixed feelings of surprise and joy!

They were joyous that the Youth from the prophecy had finally appeared!

They were surprised by Gu Liangyuan’s Divine Ability and methods!

Body and Law Dual Cultivation, Primordial Spirit Three Transformations, Seven Dao Laws, Three Dao Origins, Slaughter Domain!

What kind of talent, what kind of Comprehension Ability was this!

The one with the longest Lifespan among them had lived for nine thousand years.

They had seen oceans transform into vast fertile fields over the passage of time.

They had also seen towering mountains gradually become flat plains due to changes in the earth.

Yet, they had never heard of anyone being able to cultivate to such a degree at Gu Liangyuan’s Realm!

Even at their Realm, they didn’t know what a Dao Fruit was, only thinking that what Gu Liangyuan displayed were three Dao Origins.

Gu Liangyuan’s display not only stunned the six Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators but also everyone in the hall, including Lü Qingmei and Yang Qiong!

This child is truly a peerless Prodigy!
