Divine Eye Transcends Tribulation

Chapter 196: Qiankun Righteousness

Gu Changhui pushed open the half-rotten door, and the empty courtyard was in a state of desolation, with broken bricks and tiles, dead leaves and grass everywhere, showing the devastation. The only thing that was still intact was a tall building at the end of the dilapidated blue brick and stone road.

Although the traces of time have made this place look dilapidated, from the layout of the courtyard, one can vaguely see that it once had its own glory.

This is where the ancestors of the Gu family once lived, and it can also be considered the old house of the Gu family.

However, the time is too long. Although the Gu family has preserved the house, they have no time to take care of it. Until today, it has become what it is today.

"squeak…"

Gu Changhui walked to the end and gently pushed the door open. The harsh friction sound of the door frame left Gu Changhui no doubt that if he used a little more force, the door would fall down in an instant.

The house was completely empty, save for a stone altar in the center of the hall, on which stood a lonely longevity tablet.

Without hesitation, Gu Changhui stepped forward and kowtowed three times in front of the tablet.

Gu Changhui knew in his heart that the reason why the Gu family was able to stand out was entirely due to the contributions of this ancestor.

It’s a pity that with the passage of time, even the great achievements of our ancestors are still just a faint trace in the long river of time.

Gu Changhui stood up and looked around. All the valuable things here had been moved away by the Gu family, and the rest had long been turned into powder.

"what?"

Just as Gu Changhui stood up, he inadvertently discovered a flat-bottomed copper pot left under the incense table.

The copper kettle had long lost its luster and was covered with rust, looking ordinary. However, there were several iron wires tightly wrapped around the neck of the kettle, as if it was being strangled.

Such a worthless copper pot, if this place wasn't so empty, Gu Changhui wouldn't have noticed it.

"After all, it is something passed down from our ancestors. No matter what, we cannot let it be covered in dust!"

Gu Changhui picked it up, gently wiped off the dust on it, and tried to open the wire on it, but found that the wire had been deeply welded into the bottleneck and grew together, making it impossible to remove it.

Helplessly, Gu Changhui had to put it on the table.

"Om..."

As soon as the copper kettle fell, the longevity tablet on the incense table made a trembling sound.

Gu Changhui frowned and subconsciously took two steps back. The longevity token actually trembled without being touched, shaking off all the dust on it.

When the buzzing sound died down, the Longevity Plate was slowly suspended. Silver-white light came from nowhere and slowly gathered around the plate, appearing and disappearing. The Longevity Plate actually slowly changed into the shape of a human.

Looking at the half-real and half-illusory light and shadow, Gu Changhui's eyes almost popped out.

  This... is the ancestor appearing?

"I never thought that after so many years, there are still people who remember me!"

The phantom spoke with a deafening voice, and Gu Changhui then realized that the will of the ancestor was still retained in the longevity card.

However, although this consciousness was powerful, its eyes were blurred and without any spirituality. It did not notice Gu Changhui at all. I was afraid that this consciousness was as incomplete and dilapidated as this house.

Sure enough, after saying this, the shadow gradually dissipated, turned into points of silver light, and finally fell directly on the copper pot.

It seems that this copper pot resonated with the ancestor's longevity tablet, which inspired the ancestor's last bit of will.

Gu Changhui thought so, but also felt it was a pity. If he could communicate with the ancestor, he would surely benefit a lot.

Just as Gu Changhui was feeling regretful, the silver light slowly climbed up towards the wire fairy wrapped around the copper pot.

It turns out that there is a restriction on this wire, no wonder it cannot be opened by human power.

Before Gu Changhui could think about it, after the iron wire was covered with silver light, the tightly wound iron wire gradually became loose, and intricate patterns began to appear on the pot body. The emerald green light extended along these patterns, reached the mouth of the pot, and finally poured out from the pot. The light was so dazzling that Gu Changhui felt dizzy, but fortunately it did not last long and the light dissipated on its own.

Gu Changhui opened his eyes again, and saw that there was an extra piece of bamboo next to the copper kettle standing there peacefully.

Is this something left behind by our ancestors?

Gu Changhui, who had reacted, was overjoyed and hurried forward to pick up the bamboo slip. On the slip was a clear message: "I am Gu Ye. I don't know who among the younger generation will get this slip, but no matter who it is, it is considered a chance for me. I have left this pill to help him or her reach the golden elixir stage. I hope that this good fortune will help my Gu family's inheritance continue!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changhui felt awe burning in his chest. He never thought that his ancestor had been concerned about the Gu family all his life.

Just as Gu Changhui was feeling deeply moved, a red pill that was round and emitting a faint fragrance slowly emerged on the bamboo slip.

Since it was something left behind by the ancestor, it will naturally not be harmful.

Gu Changhui grabbed it directly and stuffed it into his mouth.

As the pill entered his body, Gu Changhui immediately felt the blood churning in his body, and his meridians began to surge with strength. His originally peaceful dantian suddenly became like a galloping horse, and his sea of ​​consciousness also became restless, as if he had some realization.

Gu Changhui knew that there were signs of a breakthrough, so he didn't think much about it. He just sat cross-legged on the spot and adjusted his breathing.

"call…"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Changhui slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with stars, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he whispered to himself with self-mockery: "I never thought, I really never thought, after swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate is not determined by heaven."

I originally thought that I would never be able to reach the Golden Core Stage in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that I would be able to break through directly with just one pill.

Qiankun Zhengqi Sect is the largest immortal cultivation sect in Xing State.

It was once a super force in the Xingyuan Continent, but due to drastic changes, the sect's disciples suffered heavy casualties, leaving only a few key members of the sect. In order to prevent the sect from being wiped out, they passed through several continental teleportation formations and came here, where they started a new path and established their own sect.

The sect occupied the six major cities and counties of Xing State, built a fort in the main city of Fengyang, and established a fort in each of the other five cities, specifically to take in those who were displaced by war, allowing them to settle down and start a business here again, and also recruit disciples from among them. To date, the sect has grown to 60,000 disciples.

Apart from these, these five castles have set up special order management in the city and county, so that the mortals here can live comfortably and peacefully.

Therefore, the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect has a very high prestige in the Xing State and is widely supported by disciples and mortals.

Fengyang City, although it is called a county city, is actually a vast expanse of rolling mountains that are as high as clouds. Surrounded by the city, it has long been built into a holy place for cultivating immortals. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the spiritual energy is compelling.

Looking beyond the clouds, one can see a sect that occupies a vast area standing at the highest point of the mountain range. The sunlight refracts through the clouds, merging into colorful spots that sparsely fall and imprint on various buildings. Looking around, it looks like a fairyland in a fairyland, beautiful and magnificent.

This is the place set up by the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter easily.

The towering sect gate is like an ancient guardian, with stone pillars standing on both sides, holding up the sect plaque high. On the stone pillars, there are densely packed runes engraved. These runes exude a terrifying aura all the time, making people feel as if their sea of ​​consciousness is stirred if they have the slightest evil thoughts.

No wonder the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect has set up a rule that mortals are not allowed to enter. Without cultivation and a weak heart of Taoism, it would be difficult for them to even pass through this door.

Behind the door is a stone staircase that seems to lead to the horizon. When you step on it, you can feel a strong fairy air spreading all around. With every step, you will have a sense of floating in the air, as if you have really isolated yourself from the mundane world.

When you reach the top, you will see a vast training ground. The entire ground is covered with spirit stone bricks and is extremely solid. All disciples in the sect will try to use their newly learned spells in this ground. There are also some calm and relaxed disciples who sit in the bamboo pavilions around the ground and discuss with each other in the hope of gaining new insights.

Directly above the venue is the sect’s main hall, with walls covered in glazed tiles and shaped like a pagoda. The top is like a sharp sword, majestic and reaching into the sky.

In addition to the main hall, there are eight subsidiary halls, which are distributed on both sides of the main hall in a north-south situation. There is a feeling of connection between the halls. Looking down from a high altitude, you can clearly see that the eight subsidiary halls all have dragon shapes attached to them. After being connected by the bluestone path, they can form a huge dragon-shaped formation, which is also the Dayan Nine Dragons Formation circulated in the market.

Moreover, a hundred years ago, a demon cultivator in the Mahayana stage sneaked in quietly and triggered the formation. He died in the northwest within a few dozen breaths and turned into a few ashes.

It is said that there is an ancient strange beast inside the gate, born from the bloodline of the descendants of the Qinglong clan, guarding the gate of the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect, and this strange beast is in one of the nine palaces.

At this time, the handsome young man who had traveled through mountains and rivers came to a rugged place on the mountain road, witnessed everything, adjusted himself and rested for a while, then walked towards the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect, silently saying in his heart: "I must join the Qiankun Zhengqi Sect."
