250: Immortal Guidance

Inside Taiyi Holy Land, the cautious Ditian became even more cautious.

At this moment, Ditian was hiding at the bottom of a volcano, deep within the Taiyi Holy Land, protected by three defensive formations outside the volcano.

The bottom of the volcano had a complex terrain, with a built-in teleportation array, and no one knew where it led.

Ditian sat cross-legged beside the teleportation array, ready to escape at any time if he was attacked.

Ditian received news of Gu Liangyuan's lecture, but his reaction was different from everyone else's.

Having fought Gu Liangyuan many times, Ditian did not think Gu Liangyuan was an arrogant person.

His actions must have a deeper meaning.

Thinking of the Family Disciples who had recently come to Taiyi Holy Land, Ditian sighed softly:

"If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to confront Gu Liangyuan right now."

"Unfortunately, my strength is inferior, and Mo Emperor is pressuring me with his Aura, so I can only brace myself and confront Supreme."

"However, during the Fu Long Court period, I must do my best to protect Taiyi's Disciples, and let those Family Disciples go first if anything happens."

"Mo Emperor also hopes that the more Family Disciples die, the better, so calculated this way, our short-term goals are consistent."

"Let's see what kind of commotion Gu Liangyuan can stir up this time."

Eastern Continent, Hidden Wang Family.

The Wang Family's Clan Chief sat in the main hall, holding the invitation in his hand, silent and frowning deeply.

A burly man beside him spoke:

"Although our Wang Family has declined in recent years, we still have an Immortal Legacy. I admit Gu Liangyuan's talent, but this act of lecturing..."

Although the words were not finished, everyone guessed what the burly man wanted to say.

Someone echoed: "This time Gu Liangyuan is a bit too presumptuous. How does it feel like playing house?"

"If this lecture is not successful, then his prestige as Alliance Chief will be greatly diminished."

"At that time, the Dao Alliance won't need Mo Emperor to act; it will disband on its own."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall fell silent.

Although the Wang Family was infinitely glorious in the eyes of ordinary Cultivators, they knew their own difficulties.

For nearly a thousand years, their Wang Family had somehow rarely produced Prodigy Disciples, leading to a lack of successors.

Every time a Clan Elder died, their Wang Family's strength weakened by a point.

At this rate, in less than three thousand years, the Wang Family would fall to the level of a medium-sized Sect.

The only difference was that their foundation would be deeper than that of a medium-sized Sect.

Only if an unparalleled Prodigy appeared could they lead the Wang Family to rise again.

But unparalleled Prodigies are rare, and the Wang Family could not place all their hopes on this, so they chose to find a way to save themselves.

It just so happened that the Young Clan Chief was cultivating on Forget-Love Peak, coupled with the talent Gu Liangyuan displayed, which made them determined to join the Dao Alliance.

They had thought they would ride the big ship of Supreme and advance unimpeded, but as a result, the ship hadn't even started yet, and there seemed to be signs of stranding.

After a long silence, the Wang Family's Clan Chief slowly spoke:

"This lecture is the Alliance Chief's first order. From a public perspective, we have no choice but to go."

"From a private perspective, since our Wang Family has chosen the Dao Alliance, we can only go all the way."

"If this lecture becomes a joke, it's only my poor judgment, and no one else is to blame."

As soon as the Wang Family's Clan Chief said this, the clan members no longer spoke, only nodding silently.

Similar scenes, apart from those small Sects, were playing out in various Families.

But in the end, everyone, whether actively or passively, chose to go.

Most people did not have the courage of the Wang Family's Clan Chief; the reason they chose to go was because they knew that the Supreme Jade Pool and the two factions might have a very difficult time confronting Ancient Mo.

But defeating any force in the Eastern Continent was very simple.

If they went, they might still have a chance to survive.

If they didn't go, based on their understanding of Gu Liangyuan, Gu Liangyuan would act first before Mo Emperor even made a move.

Thus, under these circumstances, everyone from the Dao Alliance gathered on Forget-Love Peak.

On this day, the great sun hung high!

Hundreds of thousands of Cultivators gathered in the Enlightenment Tower.

Above, the great sun hung in the sky; below, ten thousand mountains resembled Dragons.

Rivers surged, and strange waves startled the sky.

Gu Liangyuan sat cross-legged on the Hunqing Lotus Platform, suspended in the air.

Behind him, Sword Servant stood with her sword clasped, observing the slightest stirrings around her.

All the Cultivators, centered around Gu Liangyuan, found their respective positions.

Some stepped on auspicious clouds, while others rode swords into the sky.

Mighty tigers carried Vajras, and green oxen carried Daoists.

Some Disciples, in groups of three or five, stood on tree branches, gazing at Gu Liangyuan from afar.

Although everyone had more or less doubts when they arrived, their only thought now was to hear what Dao Gu Liangyuan would preach.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands, Gu Liangyuan slowly spoke.

His voice was vast and ethereal, spreading throughout the first level of the Enlightenment Tower's world:

He pointed to a Body Integration Stage Cultivator closest to him and said:

"Wang Songbai, one of the Wang Family's Clan Elders, has a supreme-grade Fire Spiritual Root and cultivates the ancestral Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Samadhi Fire."

"He reached Soul Transformation in three hundred years and Body Integration in eight hundred years; his cultivation speed has far exceeded that of ordinary people."

"In the Early Stage of Body Integration, he comprehended three Laws, displaying astonishing Comprehension Ability."

"But just as he reached the Peak of Body Integration, it seemed as if all his talents disappeared, and he could no longer advance an inch."

"Currently, he has been stuck at the Peak of Body Integration for six hundred years. Am I right or wrong?"

When Gu Liangyuan said this, most people felt some doubt.

Isn't this a lecture? What does this mean?

Wang Songbai's situation could be found out by anyone who cared to inquire.

What was Gu Liangyuan trying to express?

Although there were questions in their hearts, no one spoke, but quietly waited for Wang Songbai's reply.

Wang Songbai listened and nodded lightly:

"What Alliance Chief said is correct."

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly:

"The reason you haven't made further progress isn't because of your talent or Comprehension Ability."

"Moreover, your talent is even more formidable than you imagine."

"It is precisely because of your formidable talent that you find it difficult to Breakthrough to Mahayana."

Upon hearing this, Wang Songbai seemed to grasp something and eagerly asked:

"What does Alliance Chief mean by this?"

Gu Liangyuan flicked his finger, and a technique from the Eight Revolutions Profound Skill, "Fire Worship Skill," appeared in Wang Songbai's hand.

"The so-called Samadhi Fire is composed of three fires: fire from stone, fire from wood, and fire from the air."

"Although fire is the main element, it is rooted in wood, stone, and air. Although you have a supreme-grade Fire Spiritual Root, you lack the Qi of wood and earth, and you haven't comprehended the Law of Space. How can you reach Mahayana?"

"Profound Skill, it's not that the more revolutions, the better. This scroll of Fire Worship Skill was obtained by me from killing someone. Although it's not among the Nine Revolutions, it is more suitable for you. Try cultivating it right here."

Wang Songbai listened, did not hesitate, and quickly scanned the Fire Worship Skill with his Divine Sense, then began cultivating on the spot.

The Wang Family members beside him quickly formed a circle to protect Wang Songbai on the spot.

Everyone else also watched Wang Songbai without blinking, wanting to verify the truth of Gu Liangyuan's words.

An hour later, Wang Songbai's entire body trembled with a surge of Aura, and he burst into laughter:

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Saying that, he cupped his fist towards Gu Liangyuan: "I'll go undergo my tribulation first, and then I'll come back to thank Alliance Chief for guiding me!"

With that, his figure flashed, and he exited the Enlightenment Tower, heading straight for the desolate mountains in the suburbs.

Everyone watched this scene, and their gazes towards Gu Liangyuan became fervent!

This was not a lecture; this was clearly an Immortal guiding the way!
