243: The Origin of War

Yaochi Sacred Ground, Jade Pool Palace.

An Elder, dressed in a purple skirt and looking like a young married woman, passed by the door, seemingly inadvertently glancing into the palace, then left with a normal expression.

But when this Elder reached a secluded area, her brows furrowed tightly:

"Huan Linghua, Jiuhe Incense, Suoyang Wood… these things are all aphrodisiac secret medicines."

"Yaochi doesn't have male Disciples. What are these six old fellows trying to do, going to such lengths?"

This person appeared to be a Yaochi Elder, but was actually a Puppet controlled by Liu Ruyan using a secret Spell.

After multiple encounters with Gu Liangyuan, Liu Ruyan's understanding of Gu Liangyuan was second only to Ditian's.

She had already recognized the Origin of the golden eye on Gu Liangyuan's forehead.

Therefore, she no longer dared to appear under Gu Liangyuan's nose using the Soul Shifting Possession method, but instead used this Soul Control Spell.

If things went awry, even if she abandoned this Puppet, it would not cause her much harm.

After the failure of the last recording stone incident, she made a thorough summary.

She felt that the biggest reason for her failure was that the intelligence she received was not precise enough.

Thus, she used this secret Spell to hide within Yaochi, waiting for another opportunity.

What she saw with her own eyes surely couldn't be fake again, could it?

Her intuition told her that everything she saw today surely had some unknown secret behind it.

After thinking for a moment, she formed hand Seals, and her body gradually became transparent.

After carefully sensing and confirming that the Spell had no flaws, she headed towards Jade Pool Palace again.

Upon entering Jade Pool Palace, she found the Yaochi Six Elders talking, hidden in the Void Realm.

The content of their conversation was about how to entice Gu Liangyuan next.

Liu Ruyan was greatly disappointed after listening.

Gu Liangyuan's luck with women was quite good; the Sacred Lord of Yaochi was actively throwing herself at him.

This matter had nothing to do with Liu Ruyan, but Liu Ruyan became unhappy when she saw Gu Liangyuan living happily.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly sensed movement in the distance.

So, with a flicker of her figure, she left Jade Pool Palace.

Observing from afar, she discovered that it was Yang Qiong leading Gu Liangyuan over.

Watching the two enter Jade Pool Palace, Liu Ruyan's eyes flickered, and a plan came to mind.

Sometimes, too much luck with women is not a good thing.

Her figure flickered a few more times, and she arrived directly within the Supreme Sacred Ground from Yaochi's teleportation array.

With a flick of her hand, a communication stone shot towards Limitless Hall.

After completing all this, her body disappeared again.

No one knew where she went.

Meanwhile, Lü Qingmei was writing at a desk in Limitless Hall.

She suddenly sensed something unusual in the distance, and with a wave of her hand, the recording stone was drawn into her grasp.

The recording stone exploded with a bang when it reached Lü Qingmei's hand, leaving only one sentence:

"Yang Qiong made a move on Gu Liangyuan in Yaochi."

Lü Qingmei listened to this cryptic sentence, her thoughts rapidly turning.

After a long while, as if realizing something, her expression became strange.

There was some unwillingness in her heart, and also a different kind of thrill.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling.

After thinking for a moment, she still decided to go and see for herself.

However, before that, she needed to find out who sent the message.

After Liu Ruyan finished all this, she returned to Yaochi, hiding in a corner and observing the direction of Jade Pool Palace from afar, waiting for Lü Qingmei's arrival.

Gu Liangyuan, oh Gu Liangyuan, when they fight over you, how will you handle it?

Moreover, as they fight over him, it will indirectly affect the relationship between the Supreme and Yaochi families.

Imagining Gu Liangyuan being tormented by Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei, Liu Ruyan's Face showed a smile.

Inside Jade Pool Palace, as soon as Gu Liangyuan stepped into Jade Pool Palace, the defensive array of Jade Pool Palace lit up.

Gu Liangyuan didn't think much of it.

He just thought that this treasure Spell was extraordinary, and it was fine for the Six Elders to be a bit cautious.

The most important reason was that Yang Qiong's loyalty had already reached 98.

The loyalty of the Six Elders was also in the sixties or seventies, and Gu Liangyuan didn't feel they would harm him.

Yes, they indeed weren't planning to harm Gu Liangyuan.

How could delivering goods to his door be considered harm?

Third Grandmother flipped her hand, took out a beast hide, and handed it to Gu Liangyuan, saying:

"Cult Master, you've finally arrived. The treasure Spell is here; please take a good look."

Gu Liangyuan nodded gently, and after taking the beast hide, his Divine Sense swept over it, and the contents were fully revealed.

After reading, Gu Liangyuan closed his eyes tightly.

The System's prompt also sounded at this moment:

"Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the War Art Incomplete Manual."

Hmm?

Gu Liangyuan frowned, a golden light flashed across his forehead, and he looked at the beast hide again.

Upon seeing a golden page hidden within the beast hide, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

Then he took out the Nine Kill Sword and began to cut from the edge of the beast hide.

However, no matter how much spiritual power he exerted, the beast hide remained motionless.

The voice of Third Grandmother came at this moment:

"I've tried it; this beast hide is impervious to blades and spears and is difficult to damage."

As soon as her voice fell, Gu Liangyuan took out the Tai Xuan Sword with a backhand motion and cut a slit in the beast hide.

Gu Liangyuan looked at Third Grandmother, and Third Grandmother gave an embarrassed smile.

At this moment, Gu Liangyuan had a deeper understanding of the Tai Xuan Sword's sharpness.

Something that even a Mahayana mighty figure couldn't damage was easily cut by the Tai Xuan Sword.

As Gu Liangyuan's Divine Sense touched the golden page, the golden page directly appeared in Gu Liangyuan's Sea of Consciousness.

The golden page shook, transforming into an Origin of War, which settled in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Hehehe, lucky kid, accept Old Ancestor's favor!"

Before Gu Liangyuan could react, another aged voice sounded, and another remnant Divine Soul rushed out of the golden page, heading straight for Gu Liangyuan's Primordial Spirit.

A sweep of the Detection Spell, and the information of this remnant Divine Soul immediately appeared in Gu Liangyuan's mind.

Name: Mahayana Remnant Divine Soul

Origin: War Heaven Old Ancestor from thirty thousand years ago. His Divine Soul escaped in the final battle, and he used a Supreme secret Spell to Seal his remnant Divine Soul within the Origin of War.

Gu Liangyuan's expression was strange; had he encountered the legendary Possession?

The War Heaven Old Ancestor arrived at the center of Gu Liangyuan's spiritual platform, just about to drill in, when a green light flashed, and the covering sky pearl shone brightly, dropping streams of green light that firmly protected the spiritual platform.

Immediately after, the five great Primordial Spirits—Slaughter, Wealth, Chess, Taiyin, and the Main Primordial Spirit—appeared out of thin air, surrounding the War Heaven Old Ancestor.

War Heaven Old Ancestor turned his head:

One, two, three… nine Primordial Spirits!

Slaughter, Wealth, Chess, Taiyin—four Origins!

No!

It might be the legendary Dao Fruit!

War Heaven Old Ancestor was dumbfounded.

What kind of monster is this!?

When did such a person appear in this world?

Unfortunately, he would never get an answer to this question. At this moment, Gu Liangyuan, without using his trump cards, dared to even touch a Mahayana, let alone a remnant Divine Soul?

The Chess Primordial Spirit suddenly opened its eyes and flicked the Supreme whisk in its hand.

Supreme whisk, specifically for striking Primordial Spirits!

With one flick, accompanied by the War Heaven Old Ancestor's shrill screams, the remnant Divine Soul became almost transparent.

"Wait!"

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's extraordinary methods, War Heaven Old Ancestor quickly spoke.

But Gu Liangyuan's movements didn't stop in the slightest; another flick of the whisk came, and War Heaven Old Ancestor completely dissipated.

The nine great Primordial Spirits spoke in unison:

"You tell me to wait, and I wait? Wouldn't that make me lose a lot of Face?"
