88: Sealed Crack

"All of you stand back, leave this to us! I am the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect, Gu Yuan!"

Gu Yuan arrived in the valley with the three women and then shouted, telling the people of this small Sect to retreat.

After all, the overall strength of those eerie Monsters far exceeded theirs.

Since he was taking action himself, there was no need to let them suffer further casualties.

Hmm!?

The Cultivators of that Sect were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then they saw Gu Yuan's group slaughtering in all directions.

Those Monsters, which had seemed extremely powerful in their eyes, were like vegetables being sliced and diced before this group.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the elder-like Cultivator immediately said to the many Disciples behind him:

"Do as Young Sect Master Gu says, everyone retreat!"

As he passed by Gu Yuan, the elder bowed deeply with great gratitude.

"Many thanks to Young Sect Master Gu for your assistance, we have no way to repay you!"

With that, the elder led his Disciples and retreated behind Gu Yuan and the others.

Seeing that he didn't waste words and organized his Disciples to evacuate so quickly, Gu Yuan nodded with some satisfaction.

It was truly good to have someone who could look after themselves and didn't clamor about wanting to help only to go and die.

Communicating with someone who had self-awareness was quite comfortable.

Seeing that everyone from this Sect had evacuated the valley, Gu Yuan charged forward once again.

Although these eerie Monsters were powerful, they were still not enough for Gu Yuan and his group.

After all, Gu Yuan himself was a powerhouse of the Guiyu Realm.

Coupled with the Descendant of the Sword Immortal Little Noodle, the Saintess of the Taiyi Dao Sect Xi Nian, and the former heavenly dao incarnation Tian Mei.

This lineup was more than enough to handle these eerie Monsters.

"Let me have the final blow, don't steal my kills! I'll get angry at whoever steals them!"

Seeing Little Noodle and the others slaughtering in all directions, Gu Yuan quickly shouted.

In his eyes, these were all tempting experience points!

He activated the Great Freedom Heaven Derivation Method to its full extent. One strand of spiritual energy after another emerged from the dead Monsters and was then seized and absorbed by Gu Yuan.

Mmm... refreshing! This feeling of grinding Monsters to level up was exactly what he wanted.

Gu Yuan took a refreshing breath. Seeing the almost endless eerie Monsters in the valley before him, he became even more excited.

This was simply an excellent leveling spot.

Today, even if he had to die here, he was determined to level up vigorously!

..."Uh... do you think Gu Yuan has some kind of problem? He could clearly just Seal them up, so why does he have to kill those Monsters one by one?"

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Qingci, Tian Mei, and Xi Nian were already sitting to the side resting.

Yun Qingci asked blankly as she watched Gu Yuan tirelessly killing Monsters ahead.

Xi Nian shook her head upon hearing this, her pretty face also showing some confusion.

"I don't know... even though Tian Mei already told him. Could it be Gu Yuan's own unique hobby?"

Tian Mei blinked her eyes and looked at Gu Yuan, who was slaughtering in all directions ahead.

"Gu Yuan, these eerie Monsters should be generated from the lingering thoughts of our heavenly dao incarnations..."

Not long ago, Tian Mei had pulled Gu Yuan aside and explained her knowledge of those eerie Monsters to him.

"But logically speaking, with... well... with Sister Xia's existence, they shouldn't be appearing in your world."

Tian Mei paused when she mentioned Xia Gehuang; after all, that was a dread engraved into her very bones.

Oh...?

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he decided to think about that problem later.

"Can they be sealed? I see those eerie Monsters seem to be crawling out of those cracks incessantly."

Gu Yuan asked while looking at the eerie Monsters that were constantly being generated ahead.

Tian Mei nodded and said:

"Naturally, it's possible. You now... well... possess my thunder power. You only need to inject it into those cracks to temporarily Seal them."

Tian Mei's expression was clearly a bit strange when she mentioned her thunder power.

"Well... anyway, I'm not entirely clear on the specific situation, but they can be temporarily sealed."

Oh, so that's how it is.

After getting confirmation from Tian Mei, the corners of Gu Yuan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He could now completely confirm that this place was an excellent leveling spot.

If this were in a game, it would be a location with a bug-like existence.

"Cough, I understand. Hey, go tell Little Noodle and Xi Nian to just watch from the side. Leave everything to me from now on."

With that, Gu Yuan charged forward directly with the immortal slaying sword in hand.

Experience points, my experience points, you are all mine, none of you are allowed to run!

Well, so that's why Yun Qingci and the others were seeing this scene now.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, have you played enough? Hurry up and finish the sealing. The people from that Sect seem to be waiting for us."

Yun Qingci glanced at the Sect Disciples waiting behind and shouted to Gu Yuan ahead.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then he made an estimation in his heart.

He had already killed a very large number of eerie Monsters.

The spiritual energy he was seizing from them now was no longer of much help to him.

However, just the eerie Monsters in this valley had directly brought his Realm to the fifth stage of the Guiyu Realm.

This already made Gu Yuan very satisfied. After all, the further one progressed in the Realms, the more difficult it became to improve.

To be able to improve so much in such a short time was simply like finding a treasure!

Well, the Great Freedom Heaven Derivation Method was still too useful!

"Alright, alright, I'll go Seal those cracks now. Wait for me for a bit."

Gu Yuan shouted to Little Noodle behind him and then came before the cracks in the valley.

"Thunder power... hmm..."

Gu Yuan murmured, and then bolts of lightning containing terrifying energy appeared in his palms.

At this moment, Gu Yuan seemed to transform into a sky-propping giant god carrying the power of thunder.

Well... Gu Yuan couldn't help but think of some scenes and lines from movies and TV shows he had seen in his previous life.

Suddenly, he had a bit of a chuunibyou moment. One had to admit that the power of thunder was the most cool and flashy.

"Nine Heavens Thunder, obey my command! Majestic heavenly might, suppress the Monsters and Seal the demons!"

As Gu Yuan's words fell, bolts of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck directly into the cracks in the valley.

The eerie Monsters that were still incessantly crawling out were instantly turned to ash.

And those cracks were also sealed by the thunder power released by Gu Yuan.

Phew... done!

Gu Yuan clapped his hands and spoke with great satisfaction.

Well, to mention it here, that sentence earlier actually didn't need to be said.

Gu Yuan said it entirely to look cool, since Little Noodle and the others were still watching him from behind.
