Chapter 1032: Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain
The Pu family patriarch had never heard of a floating grass root from the lower realm possessing such astonishing talent in the entire outer heavens without any teacher or mentor.
The path of cultivation involves much more than just aptitude.
Without a skilled craftsman to painstakingly polish it, even the most exquisite and beautiful rough jade will eventually fall into the mortal world.
The reason why those important figures in the Jade Emperor's Palace did not press further is probably because they considered that Qin Yiyao must have some powerful figure backing her. They couldn't just assume that Qin Yiyao was some unknown upstart because she didn't say anything.
They simply didn't know each other's identities.
If we consider it from this perspective, then poaching someone's partner is not a commendable act. In the end, it will only create enmity, and saying that it is not worth the loss is an understatement.
There are many powerful people in the world who do not want to show their faces, and it is normal for them to remain unknown. It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu in front of me is one of those powerful people.
But this was not what the patriarch of the Pu family cared about most.
What he cared more about was why he couldn't see through Fellow Daoist Gu's strength.
For the Pu Clan Ancestor, the days when he couldn't see through someone were long gone. Now, as a top-ranking conceptual realm giant in the Purple Heaven, there are only two beings in the Immortal Dao Civilization who can't see through him.
One is naturally the "Primordial Dao Ancestor" who ranks at the pinnacle of the immortal path, and the other is the even more mysterious Lord of the Eternal Heaven, the Lord of the Eternal Immortal Court.
Of the two mentioned above, one is undoubtedly a god of the era.
The other is an unparalleled being who firmly held the position of Heavenly Lord from the very beginning of the Immortal Dao Civilization. At least when the Pu Clan Ancestor was still young, that Eternal Heavenly Lord was already sitting on his throne, looking down on all living beings in the civilization. He was not qualified to challenge him at all.
But what exactly is the strength of this fellow Daoist Gu before us?
The Pu family patriarch felt that his true form was not here. He was not in a hurry to see through or not see through things. When this fellow Daoist Gu was face to face with him, he would take a good look at him again to avoid missing anything.
"Fellow Daoist must have lived in seclusion for many years, not concerning himself with outside affairs. Although your disciples are exceptionally talented, they never reveal their master's name, which has led to many misunderstandings."
At least it can unravel the secrets surrounding Qin Yiyao, the number one prodigy of the Jade Emperor Palace. It's only natural that a master who could teach such an amazing disciple as Qin Yiyao would possess unfathomable strength.
"Is that so? That girl is indeed a bit stubborn..."
Hearing this, Gu Heng was quite surprised.
He had heard Xiaobai mention Qin Yiyao's refusal to be accepted as a disciple by certain important figures in the Jade Emperor Palace.
But Gu Heng had no objection to this at all; a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, which is only natural.
After all, his strength was probably far inferior to that of the big shots in the Jade Emperor Palace. The fact that they were willing to take Qin Yiyao as their disciple meant that they had high expectations for her. What he could give, those big shots could also give, or even more. So Qin Yiyao had no reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yiyao rejected the kindness of so many important figures and still chose not to reveal her lineage.
Gu Heng felt proud every time he thought about how steadfast his resolve was.
Of course, it's better for her not to expose herself; her reputation is already a bit too prominent.
But then, the old patriarch of the Pu family changed the subject: "However, if Fellow Daoist Gu wanted to see your disciple, he shouldn't have gone to the Jade Emperor Palace."
Gu Heng frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"As far as I know, your disciple has already left the Jade Emperor Palace and should have gone to the 'Wanchao Civilization' to travel and cultivate. Wanchao Civilization mainly cultivates the Dao of the Dynasty's Karma, which should complement and match your path. It will be difficult for him to return without spending more than a hundred years."
That little girl isn't in the Jade Emperor's Palace; she's gone on a long journey.
Gu Heng was stunned. Xiao Bai had tried to contact Qin Yiyao many times before but to no avail. At that time, he was worried that something might have happened.
But if it's just a long journey, how could there be no response at all?
Seeing the change in Gu Heng's expression, the illusory figure of the Pu Clan Ancestor extended another invitation: "Fellow Daoist Gu, since things have come to this, why don't you come with Yuan'er and the others to stay at Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain for a few days? That way, I can thank you in person for saving my life, lest people say that the dignified Pu Clan is too stingy to even show courtesy after this matter gets out."
"In that case, I'll take my leave of you."
This time, Gu Heng nodded in agreement.
If he refused again after being repeatedly invited with great enthusiasm, it would seem cold and unfriendly. How could he put on airs in front of such a person?
"Let this old man clear a path for you." As soon as he finished speaking, without any earth-shattering noise, the space in front of the Apocalypse rippled like water, and a dazzling light gate appeared out of thin air.
Inside the door, the light was dazzling and emitted a stable and powerful spatial fluctuation. On the other side of the door, one could vaguely feel the vast and magnificent aura of heaven and earth, with immortal energy swirling around.
Gu Heng's brow twitched.
A cultivator at the conceptual realm can use spatial concepts as a power to control at will.
Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain is very far from the border of Purple Heaven, just as the border of a technological civilization is far from the holy land of that civilization. But for the conceptual realm, distance is no longer a problem.
Truly supreme power!
and many more.
The "teleportation" function that the system had given him seemed to have a similar function? Gu Heng no longer hesitated and steered the Apocalypse straight into the conceptual portal.
The feeling of passing through the portal was quite magical, as if time and space were compressed to the extreme and then released in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the Apocalypse appeared in a completely new world.
Even though Gu Heng had witnessed the intricate structures of technological civilization and the grandeur of the starry sky, he was still moved by the scene before him.
The Apocalypse was situated above an endless sea of clouds, with churning clouds below, emitting colorful rays of light. A casual glance within the sea of clouds revealed thousands of celestial islands and divine mountains floating in the air. Looking into the distance, at the center of the field of vision, a colossal mountain, whose grandeur and mystique defied description, stood between heaven and earth, as if it were the central pillar of this world.
Countless mysterious runes flickered on the mountain wall, constantly absorbing and releasing a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, drawing down the stars from the surrounding sky, transforming them into dazzling rivers of light that flowed around the mountain.
Gu Heng's first impression was... a bit dazzling.
It takes time to get used to it.
"Is this Mr. Gu's first time visiting Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain?"
Pu Ao said in a low voice.
"Yes, it's incredibly bright."
Gu Heng spoke the truth.
But to be fair, at least in terms of its pure structure, the immortal civilization is far superior to the technological civilization.
At least he doesn't like staring at cold, gray technological giants all day long.
