312: Give you the thunder whip

This bellyband (bellyband) looked extraordinary in Rank at first glance.

But compared to the Rank of the bellyband, Lin Furen cared more about its meaning.

She bit her lower lip, a blush appearing on her face.

After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, the burning sensation on Lin Furen’s face gradually faded.

After carefully pondering Gu Liangyuan’s last words, she suddenly let out a cold snort:

“Hmph, he only thought of me after giving away five pieces.”

“Don’t give it back to me.” Gu Liangyuan’s voice suddenly came from somewhere unknown.

Lin Furen naturally didn’t comply and put the brocade box away with a backhand motion:

“How can something given away be taken back?”

Lin Furen waited for a long time, and seeing that there was no more movement in the sea of clouds, she finally shook her head and walked down the mountain.

When she ascended the mountain, she was confused and anxious; when she descended, a thousand sails had already passed.

A smile remained on her lips, unable to fade away.

...

Three days later, outside Xiama Pass.

Gu Liangyuan sat cross-legged on the Karma Fire Red Lotus, her Dharma form solemn.

Behind her, two women stood, one on the left and one on the right.

One was the Barefoot Girl, fair and delicate.

However, her eyes revealed a sense of vicissitude that did not belong to her age.

She carried a Thunder Fire Whip on her back, looking around vigilantly for danger.

This whip was a gift from Gu Liangyuan.

Jiang Wei remembered clearly what Gu Liangyuan said when she gifted the whip:

“I bestow this whip upon you; carry it with you. If you ever harbor disloyal thoughts again, I will strike you with it!”

However, what Gu Liangyuan didn’t expect was that even after gifting the upper volume of the Sun Moon Glass Body, Jiang Wei’s loyalty only increased by two points.

Because of the whip, Jiang Wei’s loyalty directly soared to ninety.

To Gu Liangyuan’s right stood a Profound-robed girl.

The moment this girl stood there, she exuded the feeling of a sharp sword unsheathed.

Behind the girl, a wide and thick sword box was carried on her back, and the pressure of the Mahayana Realm emanated from her body.

This girl was none other than Sword Servant!

Behind the two women, eight people stood in order from lowest to highest cultivation, ranging from Qi Refining to Tribulation Transcendence Realm, but none were in the Mahayana Realm.

This was Gu Liangyuan’s overt strength; in reality, Tian Chanzi and Tianyi Old Man were also secretly guarding her.

In addition, there were four Thunder Calamity Realm Protectors brought by Lin Furen.

What was particularly commendable was that the four cultivated a combined attack technique; with the four working together, they could even kill a Fire Calamity Realm expert.

Although the Jun Family was a top aristocratic family in Great Zhou, Thunder Calamity Realm Protectors were not easily mobilized.

Just like the Supreme Elders, before Gu Liangyuan ascended to her position, Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators would not make a move unless it was a matter of life and death, let alone asking Old Ancestors to help other forces.

From this, it could be seen that although Lin Furen complained verbally, she was extremely diligent in helping Gu Liangyuan.

Opposite Xiama Pass, the city gate stood wide open.

Led by the Envoy of Gu Mo, nine people also stood, their cultivation levels ranging from low to high.

Tens of thousands of Cultivators gathered around Xiama Pass to watch.

Gu Liangyuan’s Investigation Spell swept through, and among the crowd, she obtained the information she desired.

The people from Taiyi Holy Land had indeed arrived.

Six Thunder Calamity Realm, three Fire Calamity Realm, and one Wind Calamity Realm.

And the Incarnation of Di Tian was leading the way.

As expected of the former head of the Eastern Continent’s Holy Land, this strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

However, it was good; by attracting these people, Yang Yijia and the others would find it much easier to break through Taiyi Holy Land.

Although a sense of vigilance arose in her heart, Gu Liangyuan did not show the slightest bit of it on her face.

After explaining the situation to Tianyi Old Man and the others, Gu Liangyuan no longer looked in that direction, so as not to alert the enemy.

At the same time, a person suddenly descended from the sky.

This person wore a purple robe and a jade hat, with a rotund physique, resembling a wealthy mortal.

Yet, this person exuded the pressure of the Thunder Calamity Realm.

After this person appeared, he bowed to both sides one by one before speaking:

“I am a Protector of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, invited by Mo Emperor to be a referee.”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, this person continued:

“To say I am a referee, in fact, I am merely here to announce the results of the competition to all of you.”

“Aside from not being allowed to use cheating Spirit Treasures such as Puppets, Thunder Beads, or Exploding Pills, there are no other rule restrictions. As for who wins or loses, even if I don’t say it, all Fellow Daoists present will see it clearly.”

Everyone nodded.

“Alright, I declare the General Assembly (Grand Assembly) to begin!”

“First round, Qi Refining versus Qi Refining!”

As this person’s words fell, a Qi Refining Realm Disciple walked out from the Ancient Mo camp.

Gu Liangyuan’s Investigation Spell swept over, and this person’s background was seen through.

Although this person carried a Magic Treasure that shielded heavenly secrets, it was useless.

This child was indeed a Prodigy; although he only had Qi Refining Realm cultivation, he possessed the Bloodline of a Demonic Ape within his body.

Once the Bloodline was stimulated, he could unleash the combat power of a Foundation Establishment Peak.

Gu Liangyuan called over her own Qi Refining Peak Disciple and transmitted a message:

“This person’s weakness lies in his Divine Soul. I will transmit to you the Profound Rank Spell, Soul Suppressing Roar, which can subdue him.”

As she spoke, she transmitted the information of the Soul Suppressing Roar to this Disciple.

This Disciple nodded silently.

Immediately, he soared into the air, arriving at the open ground, confronting that Disciple.

“Begin!”

As the referee spoke, the two began to battle.

Gu Liangyuan already knew the outcome of this battle and did not pay too much attention.

She then called over the Foundation Establishment Realm Disciple:

“Your opponent is a Body Cultivator with the Vajra Bloodline. Although this child’s combat power is unparalleled, the Cultivation Technique he cultivates has three omissions, located beneath his two ribs and at the back of his neck.”

“I will transmit to you the Gengjin Sword Art; you can use Sword Qi to defeat the enemy.”

After giving her pointers, Gu Liangyuan remained silent.

The opponents of Jun Ao Zhi, Zai Xiyue, and Song Xian’er, in every aspect, could not defeat them.

When Mo Emperor proposed this gamble, the outcome was already decided.

What Gu Liangyuan needed to guard against more were those people from Taiyi in the shadows.

At the same time, he was also deliberating whether or not to let Tian Chanzi appear at this time.

A Loose Immortal in the mortal world, for any force, was the strongest hidden foundation.

Letting Tian Chanzi appear had both obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that it could shock the world, and even when conquering Du’e Holy Land in the future, it would save a lot of trouble.

The disadvantage was that after the Eastern Continent was unified, the goal was to recuperate and develop in a low-key manner.

With Tian Chanzi appearing, some people might truly be unable to sit still.

“Ding, sensing the host’s intention, a selection task has been issued:”

“One, choose to let Tian Chanzi appear. System reward: Eastern Continent Treasure Trove Map.”

“Two, choose to continue hiding Tian Chanzi. System reward: Complete Underworld Map.”

Gu Liangyuan had not encountered a selective task since the System’s initial Awakening.

Gu Liangyuan did not make a direct choice but opened the introduction to the Treasure Trove Map.

Name: Eastern Continent Treasure Trove Map

Function: Throughout ancient and modern times, how many Prodigies have turned into dry bones, and how many secrets are hidden deep underground?

The Treasure Trove Map marks all the major and minor Treasure Troves from ancient times to the present in the Eastern Continent; it is the best way to gather wealth and develop one’s forces.

After reading the introduction, Gu Liangyuan immediately chose one.

Whether to let Tian Chanzi appear or not, both had their pros and cons.

The Underworld Map could be collected slowly, but if the Treasure Trove Map was missed, it might not be available in the future.

Gu Liangyuan could not imagine how many Treasure Troves such a historically long Eastern Continent would hide!

After making his choice, Gu Liangyuan relaxed instead.

What Wind Calamity Realm or Fire Calamity Realm? As long as Tian Chanzi made a move, none of this was a problem.

While Gu Liangyuan was contemplating, the Supreme Elder’s Qi Refining Disciple had already achieved victory.

The Foundation Establishment Disciple then entered the arena, and Gu Liangyuan now had the leisure to observe the situation on the field.

The gambling duels outside Xiama Pass were in full swing, gathering the world’s attention.

Yang Yijia and the others, who were ambushed near Taiyi Holy Land, also took the opportunity to act.
