379: Origin of Space

Gulp.

The great hall was terrifyingly silent, making the black-robed man’s gulp particularly obvious.

Seeing that Gu Liangyuan didn't reply, the black-robed man didn't dare to say anything more, maintaining his previous posture.

He clearly knew that his life and death were in Gu Liangyuan’s hands, and he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.

His uneasy feeling didn't last long before he heard Gu Liangyuan’s voice say:

"He’s quite a clever person."

The black-robed man raised his head; he smiled.

He knew he was alive.

After taking the black-robed man’s Divine Soul, Gu Liangyuan looked at the sealed space around him and sighed with emotion:

"This is truly a good place to kill people and bury corpses."

Feeling that the Underworld Map was only five pieces away from being completely collected, Gu Liangyuan had a plan in mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The ‘Tapeworm in the Stomach’ has been issued."

Gu Liangyuan casually clicked to receive it, then looked at the black-robed man:

"How many people are in your Yellow Springs Sect?"

Hearing Gu Liangyuan’s question, the black-robed man quickly said:

"Reporting to Master, including me, there are two Wind Calamity Realm Cultivators, three Fire Calamity Realm Cultivators, six Thunder Calamity Realm Cultivators, and nearly a hundred Mahayana Cultivators in the Yellow Springs Sect."

"However, most of them are guest elders, and some were arranged by Gold Like Jade to monitor me, so they are not entirely loyal to the Yellow Springs Sect."

"There are only about three to five Ghost Cultivators above the Mahayana stage in the Yellow Springs Sect."

"After all, the path of a Ghost Cultivator is too difficult."

Gu Liangyuan heard the hidden meaning in the black-robed man’s words and chuckled:

"So, you can't completely control the Gathering Treasure Pavilion now?"

"Just now, were you deceiving me?"

The black-robed man’s heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down:

"Master, please forgive me. This black-robed one only spoke such big words to save his life earlier."

"Although I cannot completely control it, I can at least control more than half of the people in the Gathering Treasure Pavilion."

"They don't know that Gold Like Jade is dead. If I gradually work through Gold Like Jade's past prestige, it won't be difficult to completely control the Gathering Treasure Pavilion."

Gu Liangyuan nodded: "I'll send someone else over later. I want you to completely control the Gathering Treasure Pavilion within half a year. Can you do it?"

Half a year?

The black-robed man instinctively wanted to frown.

The Gathering Treasure Pavilion is spread across the Five Continents; wanting to completely control it wouldn't be easy.

But when he saw Gu Liangyuan's focused gaze, the black-robed man gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Yes!"

"Very good. The person I send will arrive in a few days."

"Don't make it half a year; I'll give you seven months. After seven months, I'll come back."

"If you can complete it, I will certainly not be stingy with rewards."

"If you can't complete it, I will settle the score for that and your previous deception. Do you understand?"

The black-robed man respectfully said: "This black-robed one understands."

Gu Liangyuan waved his hand:

"Go down, and don't reveal any information about me."

Saying that, Gu Liangyuan’s Divine Sense swept across the ten storage rings, and he took out a black, paint-like stone.

With his hands forming a seal, the Soul Stone emitted bursts of black light.

Accompanied by a violent spatial fluctuation, a teleportation array appeared out of thin air behind the black-robed man.

Seeing that Gu Liangyuan had figured out the intricacies of this space so quickly, the black-robed man felt even more awe:

"Yes!"

After the black-robed man retreated, Gu Liangyuan finally had the leisure to carefully examine the ten storage rings.

It was fine if he didn't check, but once he did, even Gu Liangyuan, who was accustomed to Heaven And Earth Treasure, couldn't help but feel his heart pound faster.

These ten storage rings contained: Magic Treasure, Talisman, Medicinal Pill, Spirit Fruit, Spirit Item, Spirit Beast, immortal jade, Divine Ability, Cultivation Technique, and Formation.

The items inside ranged from fifth-grade to Immortal-grade, with everything imaginable!

As for anything below fifth-grade, Gu Liangyuan thought Gold Like Jade probably didn't bother with it.

Gu Liangyuan roughly put away everything below Immortal-grade, focusing his attention on the Immortal-grade items:

Two Immortal Beast cubs.

Four Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, two Medium Grade Immortal Artifacts.

Four Low Grade Immortal Fruits.

Thirteen thousand immortal jade!

Three ancient Talismans.

One Immortal Pill.

Two scrolls of Immortal-grade Formations.

A Gold-Devouring Beast, which only takes in and doesn't release!

As expected of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, which is said to control the wealth of the world.

This accumulation of wealth is probably even more than that of the Three Great Dynasties!

This time, he really struck it rich.

Gu Liangyuan redistributed these spiritual items, and after determining what to give his disciples, he put away the rest to replenish the Dao Alliance's treasury.

Currently, items below Immortal-grade were not of much use to Gu Liangyuan.

But for those in the Dao Alliance, they could greatly satisfy their cultivation needs.

As Gu Liangyuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a tremor in his Aura.

His Physical Body broke through two realms, reaching the Mahayana Sixth Heaven.

Upon careful perception, he realized that Qianqiu and Lü Qingmei had both bestowed the Mahayana Pill.

The Dao Alliance and the Great Abyss thus gained over two hundred more Mahayana Cultivators, and coupled with the accumulation during this period, even if the power return was only one percent of their cultivation, it allowed him to break through two realms consecutively.

Tianguan Blessing, Tianguan Blessing.

Gu Liangyuan recalled that since he obtained the Tianguan Blessing, good things had never stopped.

This caused Gu Liangyuan to sigh with emotion.

In the end, the top Child of Destiny turned out to be himself.

If the Child of Destiny was someone else: "He’s cheating, it’s unfair!"

If the Child of Destiny was himself: "I have profound blessings, this is very fair."

Gu Liangyuan was about to put away the storage rings when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at the Yao Sisters behind him, waved his hand, and two more Low Grade Immortal Artifacts floated in front of them:

"You did well today. A reward!"

The two women took the Immortal Artifacts given by Gu Liangyuan and said in unison:

"Thank you, Master."

Their loyalty value increased again, reaching eighty-five!

At this moment, the Yao Sisters had completely accepted their new master in their hearts.

Leaving aside the Immortal Foundation Lock, just his generous spending made them unable to refuse.

They had been in the Immortal Court for over two thousand years, and in those two thousand years, they had only received two or three Low Grade Immortal Artifacts as rewards.

One must know that these palace maids were different from other Cultivators; they had to report their entry and exit from the imperial palace, so they naturally lost the opportunity to go out and seek treasures themselves.

The only chance they had to obtain Cultivation resources was through the East Queen Mother’s rewards.

Therefore, these two or three Low Grade Immortal Artifacts seemed somewhat insufficient.

And they had only acknowledged Gu Liangyuan as their master for less than two months, yet they had already received two consecutive rewards, which naturally made them even more loyal.

Looking at the two women's appearance, Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly:

"Work hard with your master, and you won't be lacking in benefits in the future."

The two women quickly expressed their loyalty:

"We sisters swear to serve our master until death!"

"As long as Master commands, we sisters will not disobey."

Gu Liangyuan looked at the two women and suddenly laughed:

"Then can you return the recording stones I gave you earlier?"

"Ah?"

The Yao Sisters' faces instantly turned red.

Yao Qin touched the storage ring on her hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Just as she was about to take it out, Gu Liangyuan’s voice came from afar:

"Hahaha, look at how much you cherish them. I bestow them upon you…"

Gu Liangyuan’s voice grew fainter, and the two women, seeing this, quickly followed:

"Master, wait for us."
