58: Great Sun Burning Heaven Art

Seeing the Elders begin their actions, Gu Liangyuan sat on the cloud, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yang below.

At this time, Zhang Yang was only at the Qi Refining Fourth Level.

Ordinary Cultivators at the Qi Refining Fourth Level, let alone Nascent Soul Elders, would die and their Dao vanish with just a casual strike from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Gu Liangyuan wanted to see how the Child of Destiny would survive under the siege of numerous Nascent Soul and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Below, although Zhang Yang saw the unfavorable situation and immediately tried to flee, with his speed, how could he be faster than the attacks of a Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Just as the attacks were about to hit Zhang Yang, Master Wan Yan, the Master of Dan Peak, stepped through the Void Realm, walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought.

One step covered several miles, bringing him right near Zhang Yang.

Sensing several attacks coming towards him, Master Wan Yan raised his head and flicked his wide sleeve.

All those attacks disappeared between heaven and earth.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Yang slapped his Storage Pouch, and two divine movement talismans appeared in his hand.

He slapped them onto his feet, and his body transformed into a green light, shooting off in a random direction.

Master Wan Yan turned his head to look at the departing Zhang Yang, then looked at the group of Elders in front of him:

"What are you all doing?"

"Never mind, it's not important."

"Is Martial Uncle Gu Liang here? I have some thoughts about the pill explosion matter he mentioned last time, and I'd like to discuss them with him."

Song Rentou watched Zhang Yang run further and further away, and hurriedly bowed to Master Wan Yan:

"Peak Master Wan, we have urgent matters here. Please return first, and I will definitely relay this matter to Junior Martial Uncle later and have him come to Dan Peak to find you."

With that, without waiting for Master Wan Yan's reply, he called to the Disciples and prepared to chase Zhang Yang.

Master Wan Yan reached out and stopped him, his expression turning serious, looking exactly like an old scholar:

"This pill explosion matter, to put it simply, is to increase the combat methods of your Forget-Love Peak Disciples."

"To put it broadly, it concerns all alchemists in the world."

"What could be more important than this!"

Upon hearing this, Song Rentou showed a troubled expression.

Gu Liangyuan, in the clouds, watched Zhang Yang, who was about to escape the Supreme Sacred Ground, and inwardly cursed that the Child of Destiny was indeed troublesome.

Helplessly, he descended from the cloud.

Seeing Master Wan Yan try to grab him, Gu Liangyuan subtly retreated, naturally not in the mood to get entangled with him:

"I have urgent matters right now and no time to research with you. If you insist on stopping me, I'll hand over this pill explosion method to someone else to research."

Master Wan Yan immediately grew anxious upon hearing this.

"Junior Martial Uncle, you can't do that, we already agreed!"

The reason he painstakingly researched the pill explosion method for Gu Liangyuan was precisely for the sake of fame.

If the pill explosion method succeeded, future alchemists would naturally not be able to avoid mentioning him, who helped perfect it.

If Gu Liangyuan gave it to someone else, then it would have nothing to do with him.

If it were anyone else, he could still argue.

But Gu Liangyuan's seniority was there, and he couldn't force the issue.

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's unyielding attitude, even if he was itching to discuss it with him, he could only give up.

Looking at Gu Liangyuan ascending into the sky, Master Wan Yan shouted:

"Junior Martial Uncle, remember to come back when you're done! I'll be waiting for you at Forget-Love Peak."

"Got it."

Without Master Wan Yan's obstruction, the Elders hurriedly resumed their pursuit of Zhang Yang.

Learning from the previous lesson, this time they did not recklessly attack, fearing another unforeseen event, and instead followed from a distance.

In the chase, they left the confines of the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang, who was speeding ahead, stopped.

Song Rentou's Divine Sense probed, discovering that there was a ten-thousand-foot cliff ahead, blocking Zhang Yang's path.

The cliff face was steep, almost vertical.

With Zhang Yang's Qi Refining Fourth Level cultivation, he could fly with a sword for a short time, but such a steep cliff was impossible to fly over.

Song Rentou's heart immediately filled with joy.

Recalling Gu Liangyuan's previous instructions, he called for everyone to quickly advance and force Zhang Yang to the edge of the cliff.

Zhang Yang vigilantly watched the encircling crowd, his body continuously retreating:

"Song Xianer only said to drive me away, what do you all mean by this?"

Song Rentou let out a strange cackle: "What we mean, isn't that obvious?"

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint appearing in them!

"What a Song Xianer, what a Forget-Love Peak!"

"You want me to die by your hands?"

"Dream on!"

As his words fell, Zhang Yang leaped, plummeting straight down the ten-thousand-foot cliff.

As Zhang Yang fell, an echoing voice came from the bottom of the cliff:

"If I, Zhang Yang, am fortunate enough to survive today, in the future, I will surely flatten Forget-Love Peak!"

"Forget-Love Peak…"

"-Love Peak…"

"Peak…"

Gu Liangyuan, in the sky, saw this situation and thought, 'The opportunity has come!'

He instantly activated Lightning Flash, transforming into a beam of electric light, arriving at the bottom of the cliff.

His Divine Sense extended, taking in the entire cliff face at a glance.

Following Zhang Yang's falling trajectory, he indeed found a mysterious Immortal Cave halfway down the mountain.

Gu Liangyuan was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, a surge of magical power moved Zhang Yang behind the Elders.

He also replenished Zhang Yang's nearly depleted Spiritual Qi, so he could continue working.

Then, his figure flickered again, and he stepped into the cliff cave.

Zhang Yang kept his eyes tightly shut, feeling his body rapidly plummeting, just as he was filled with despair, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared behind the group of Elders.

The Spiritual Qi within his body, which had been depleted, was also fully restored at this moment.

What's happening?

Am I hallucinating?

Zhang Yang had no time for other thoughts. Feeling the abundant Spiritual Qi within his body, his will to survive was rekindled.

Looking at the Elders and Disciples who had already noticed him, Zhang Yang once again took out a divine movement talisman and ran off in the opposite direction.

Song Rentou led the group, leisurely chasing again.

He fled, they chased, he couldn't escape.

Meanwhile, Gu Liangyuan had already entered the mountain cave.

His Divine Sense probed, and indeed, in this pitch-black cave, he found a skeletal figure sitting cross-legged.

This skeleton had existed for an unknown number of years; only its crossed legs had grown into the rock beneath it.

Despite this, the skeleton still emitted a jade-like luster.

Gu Liangyuan casually cast a detection spell, but unfortunately, the spell could only detect information about living beings, so no information was revealed.

Gu Liangyuan looked around and found that there was nothing else in the cave except for this skeleton.

He frowned slightly, and his Divine Sense carefully probed the skeleton, finally discovering an anomaly on one of the arm bones.

He reached out and pulled, the skeleton collapsed, and the arm bone was firmly grasped by Gu Liangyuan.

He focused his gaze and saw that on this arm bone, densely packed, needle-point sized characters were carved.

With Gu Liangyuan's Heaven-Given Dao Body and Innate Comprehension, even if some characters were unfamiliar, he had no difficulty reading them.

After reading, Gu Liangyuan understood. What was recorded on this arm bone was a Body Refining Cultivation Technique called the "Great Sun Burning Heaven Art."

Name: Great Sun Burning Heaven Art

Rank: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill (Incomplete)

Cultivation Requirement: Fire Spiritual Root

Effect: Draws solar True Qi into the body to temper the Physical Body.

The Mysterious Skill has nine revolutions:

First Revolution Qi Refining, Physical Body comparable to Yellow Rank Magical Artifact.

Second Revolution Foundation Establishment, Physical Body comparable to Profound Rank Magical Artifact.

Third Revolution Core Formation, Physical Body comparable to Earth Rank Magical Artifact.

Fourth Revolution Nascent Soul, Physical Body comparable to Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact.

Fifth Revolution Soul Transformation, Physical Body comparable to low-grade spirit treasure.

Sixth Revolution Void Refining, Physical Body comparable to Medium Grade Spirit Treasure.

The last three revolutions are lost. If cultivated to Perfection, the Physical Body strength would be comparable to an Immortal Artifact, and the surrounding Qi and blood power would be like a great sun, burning the heavens and boiling the seas is but trivial!

Gu Liangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly. This Great Sun Burning Heaven Art was perfect for Qianqiu!

He was just worrying about not having a Body Refining Cultivation Technique, and now he had found one.

It was like eating a cucumber and getting the wrong flavor—a lucky hit!
