213: I control Yao Chi!

Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei knew Gu Liangyuan was hiding his strength, but they never expected him to be hiding this much!

Among Void Refinement Realm Cultivators, those who can comprehend Laws are already one in a hundred.

Those who can comprehend two Laws are truly astonishing Prodigies with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability!

And Gu Liangyuan had directly comprehended seven!

There are myriad Laws in the world.

Space is revered, Time is king!

Yin and Yang are Dominators, Five Elements are generals.

Life and Death control the overall situation, Karma is the outline.

Immortals and Devils are divided, Devourment encompasses all!

These are the eight Supreme Laws recognized in the Cultivation World.

However, these eight Supreme Laws can be further divided; for example, Yin and Yang can be divided into the two Laws of Grand Yin and Grand Yang.

These two Laws are also among the top fifty Laws, and when combined, they form a Supreme Law.

The Five Elements, Immortal-Devil, and Life-Death are similar!

Among Gu Liangyuan's seven Laws, there were the two Supreme Laws of Yin and Yang and Karma!

Calling him a peerless Prodigy is absolutely not an exaggeration!

What shocked everyone the most was that Gu Liangyuan had even mastered an Origin!

Origin—this is something even Mahayana Realm Cultivators crave but rarely obtain, and Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators seldom encounter.

Mastering an Origin can be said to mean having grasped a portion of this world's authority.

Moreover, Origins are unique; if someone has mastered a certain Origin, then it is impossible for anyone else to master that same Origin.

Unless the owner Ascends and leaves this world, or dies and their Dao dissipates, only then will the Origin be released.

Therefore, it is a struggle for the Great Dao!

The path of a Cultivator, the further one goes, the more one needs to contend!

There's also Dual Cultivation of body and Law, the Slaughter Domain, and a Primordial Spirit strength four times that of an ordinary Cultivator; any one of these, if found on a regular Cultivator, would make them a peerless Prodigy, but when compared to the Origin on Gu Liangyuan, they seem less dazzling.

At this moment, everyone silently labeled Gu Liangyuan: if this person does not die young, he will surely Ascend!

This was exactly what Gu Liangyuan wanted to see.

Gu Liangyuan knew that the reason Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei wanted him to take the lead was half due to emotion and half due to his potential.

Except for a few sentimental individuals, the fundamental logic of interaction between superiors and subordinates is the exchange of benefits.

Just as a minister supports a ruler, what they seek is the merit of aiding a Dragon, to be promoted and gain rank!

At the same time, Gu Liangyuan also knew that he could not provide any immediate practical benefits to these people right now.

So, what he could do was to tell the people of Yaochi Sacred Ground what benefits they would gain by following him in the future.

This differs from merely painting a grand picture; one is a vague and ethereal future, while the other is a visible future.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan suppress the crowd, Yang Qiong quickly reacted and struck while the iron was hot, saying:

"After discussions between Light Eyebrow and me, we have decided to jointly honor Junior Martial Uncle Gu Liang as the Cult Master, overseeing both the Yaochi Sacred Ground and Taiyi Holy Land."

"In this way, the matter of who is whose subordinate, which you all mentioned before, will no longer exist."

"What do you all, Elders, think?"

The Yaochi Six Elders immediately expressed their stance:

"This is originally an ancestral teaching; as long as Gu Liangyuan can open the Jade Pond Restriction and confirm that he is the person from the prophecy, we have no objections."

The other Elders behind them also nodded in agreement, and the spies hidden in the shadows wanted to speak up and stop it, but to avoid exposure, they all remained still.

Just then, a Late Stage Body Integration Realm Elder spoke up:

"I disagree!"

Seeing everyone's gaze fall upon her, the Elder immediately said:

"You only see the immediate benefits. Now that Taiyi Holy Land and Yaochi Sacred Ground are merging, it seems to be an equal state, but..."

Before the person could finish speaking, Gu Liangyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, his Killing Primordial Spirit returned to its place, the Slaughter Domain spread out, and Evil Qi surged into the sky!

The Nine Kill Sword hung above his head, and with Gu Liangyuan's endless magical power, the Nine Kill Sword turned from one into two, from two into four, and in a blink of an eye, transformed into twenty-five illusory figures, rushing directly towards the twenty-five Void Refinement Realm and Soul Transformation Realm spies hidden in the crowd!

Four Kill character Restrictions followed closely behind the sword shadows, targeting the four strongest Void Refinement Peak Cultivators among these Void Refining Cultivators.

Having done all this, Gu Liangyuan held Mo Tan Kill, leaped up, and chopped down at the last Body Integration Realm spy!

Gu Liangyuan's speed was too fast; by the time everyone reacted, they were already enveloped by the Slaughter Domain.

In an instant, everyone lost their perception of the outside world.

They could only mobilize the Spiritual Qi within their bodies; even Laws became ineffective within this Domain.

The Yaochi Six Elders and the Great Ascension Realm Experts were the first to react, but they all remained still, quietly watching everything unfold.

By the time the Body Integration Realm Experts reacted, Gu Liangyuan was already holding Mo Tan Kill, chopping down at the Body Integration Realm spy!

Along with the pungent smell of blood, as the long halberd cut through the air, nine Great Ascension Realm Halberd Generals followed closely behind Gu Liangyuan.

Eighteen Body Integration Realm Cultivators, forty Void Refining Realm Cultivators, over a hundred Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators, a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators, and eighty thousand Core Formation Realm soldiers surrounded the entire Jade Pool Palace!

These halberd soldiers and halberd generals were precisely the people Gu Liangyuan had killed outside Bei Dou Pass!

"Kill!"

All the generals roared in unison, their voices like a booming bell, striking fear into people's hearts!

The Body Integration Realm spy reacted and quickly dodged.

But how could she be faster than Gu Liangyuan, who possessed the Divine Ability of Instantaneous Movement?

Gu Liangyuan merely took a step and was once again in front of the Body Integration Realm Cultivator.

Splat!

The long halberd fell, and blood splattered across the sky!

The blood splattered into the eyes of the Elder who had spoken in rebuttal, making her hair stand on end and her pupils shrink.

With one halberd strike, the person was split in two.

Heh, another Halberd General!

Casually incinerating the person's corpse, Gu Liangyuan turned to look, and the remaining twenty-odd spies had also all died under the efforts of the Nine Kill Sword and the Halberd Generals.

Gu Liangyuan put away Mo Tan Kill, and his main Primordial Spirit returned to its place.

The Slaughter Domain retracted, the halberd soldiers and generals disappeared, and he reverted to his previous appearance of a banished immortal.

He patted the shoulder of the person who had spoken in rebuttal and softly said:

"Elder Li, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Without waiting for the Elder to reply, Gu Liangyuan walked step by step towards the main seat, speaking as he went:

"Zhao Zimei, from Ancient Mo Hancheng, was sent to Eastern Continent at the age of ten, raised by a peasant woman, and later joined the Yaochi Sacred Ground.

Her cultivation speed was normal at first, but later, with the support of the Ancient Ink Dynasty, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, successfully reaching Soul Transformation Realm in just a hundred years and becoming an Elder of Yaochi Sacred Ground."

"And then, for three hundred years, she continuously broke through realms."

"Five months ago, for her meritorious service in transmitting confidential information back to Yaochi Sacred Ground, she was bestowed eight Dragon Reversion Pills by Mo Emperor, thus achieving Body Integration Realm."

"Yu Zhui Lu, from Qingyu City in Eastern Continent, whose parents both died, joined the Yaochi Sacred Ground at fourteen, and during a mission, she was rescued by the Third Prince of the Ancient Ink Dynasty; feelings developed between them, and from then on, she served the Ancient Ink Dynasty."

"Wang Lin, from Tong City in Eastern Continent, daughter of a Taiyi Holy Land Elder, disguised herself, joined the Yaochi Sacred Ground, and acted as a spy within, transmitting messages for Taiyi Holy Land."

"Sun..."

Gu Liangyuan sat on the main seat, speaking non-stop, identifying all twenty-odd spies before finally stopping.

The hall was silent!

The Yaochi Six Elders looked grim, not expecting the Yaochi Sacred Ground to be so porous, with so many spies planted within.

Some of the other Elders suddenly understood, while others felt sorrowful.

Those who understood realized that the previous anomalies of these people now had a reasonable explanation.

Those who were sorrowful felt distressed that their trusted fellow disciples were actually spies.

In reality, not everyone Gu Liangyuan killed was a spy; among them were also two whose loyalty to him was negative.

Such people, Gu Liangyuan naturally could not keep.
