In the Jade Void Sect, the Heavenly Prodigy, a descendant of Old Man Mu Yangxu, had connections with various Daoist Sects, including the Hong Clan. This time, aside from the Primordial Dao, which was too preoccupied to send anyone, all the Daoist Sects had sent representatives to offer their congratulations. Even the Nine Nether Sect had sent someone. Bu Luo requested to come later, which was fine with him; when they gathered together, it would be clear who truly deserved the title of the best in Tiandong. The truth would emerge without endless debates like the ones that would ensue tomorrow.
Indeed, Gu Ping was fully focused on watching the competition, while Hong Ling continued to share information about the Jade Void Sect and the Shepherd.
It was not that there were no geniuses; Bu Luo felt that Gan Yuan was simply too incompetent to be of any help. He was stuck at Gold Mid-stage and could not break through to Nascent Soul. Even some younger cultivators like Ru Ming surpassed him in terms of Nascent Soul cultivation. Especially that Shepherd—ever since breaking through to Golden Realm, his cultivation had been rising rapidly, almost catching up with Gu Ping. His strength was terrifying; it was said he could take on five opponents at once. Anyone who could achieve such feats at that level could certainly be called a genius. Even if Feiyuxuzong managed to pull something off, it would still pale in comparison to their ancestors.
Although Hong Ling's tone seemed dismissive, deep down, she couldn't deny her admiration. Her own Transcendence had come from relying on various miraculous family medicines, which could never compare to those who achieved breakthroughs through sheer effort.
Who wouldn’t want to soar through the skies on a sword for eighty thousand miles? Who wouldn’t want to gallop through the Nine Heavens, invincible?
Those were dreams Hong Ling could not realize, but Bu Luo and Hong Yulong had a considerable chance.
During the previous Battle of the Desolate Mountains, after being saved by Yin Tianheng Skill while using Spirit Binding Technique, Hong Yulong had unexpectedly made progress with his magical artifacts. Although he hadn’t broken through to Transcendence yet, facing Tenglan and Night Emperor would be a different story altogether.
Thinking about this made Gu Ping’s head ache. The arena set up by Hong Ling had no rules; if he challenged once and then Hong Ling challenged back, it would go on endlessly.
He needed a plan. Gu Ping looked around for someone who might help him out during the event.
What was he looking at? If he challenged me later, I better not run away.
Even Night Emperor, who usually laughed heartily, couldn’t help but joke as he watched Gu Ping’s twitching mouth. Bu Luo's smile was more grotesque than a corpse's grin, startling Gu Ping.
On another side, Tenglan approached as well. Bu Luo mentioned Yan Dong's challenge and surprisingly began discussing Ru Ming's Tian Dong Da force with Gu Ping.
The North was once again greeted by a long winter, and the military and civilians at Anping Pass found a moment of respite.
However, such a harsh winter could make even the Golden Cultivators struggle to withstand it solely with their physical prowess; they too needed warm clothing and fire pits to survive. With the help of Great Master, Bu Luo facilitated the transportation of supplies. After the cold season passed, the war would continue. Some were watching from the sidelines, while others had already begun to make their moves.
Compared to others, he had more faith in me.
As they chatted, they arrived by the pool. Han Yu gently caressed the Zenwood Seven-String Zither brought by Eastern Person and began to play softly. The melodious notes accompanied the ongoing duel, enchanting many who listened.
Even he himself didn't have much confidence in his own abilities. Gu Ping said with a hint of self-deprecation that the aristocratic families were scheming behind the scenes. The Light Path Classic sought to seize an opportunity, while Qiankun Dao was not averse to vying for dominance. Tai Xu Dao watched closely, Infinite Path aimed to profit from the war, and Limitless Path's Coco was eager to make a name for herself. Worldly Affairs appeared to distance itself but was actually entangled in the fray.
Gu Ping implied that the Daoist Sect would not overlook the potential of cultivating their own strength while Buqi and Fei Qian were not enemies of Daoist Sect either.
The Cheap Secret Manual's technique, Cutting Off the Source of Power, truly severed the Daoist Sect's lineage. According to Yin Tianheng, it had cut off most of Daoist Sect's Fate.
Fate was something intangible; who knew how long those Daoist Sect members could hold out?
Some matters ultimately required powerful strength to resolve, and Gu Ping understood this better than anyone else.
He had overlooked a significant force—the various dynasties occupying the World of Mortals. Although they seemed to be under the control of major sects on the surface, there were indeed some dynasties backed by unseen powers, much like the Qin Empire or perhaps Lu State.
Lu State?
Gu Ping suddenly paused, about to ask a question when he realized that Lu State might be indirectly influenced by the academy. How could that be?
Bu Luo remained silent, while Gu Ping swallowed his words back. Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, would not casually remind him of what lay behind the Lu State. It couldn't possibly be the Light Path Classic, could it? But if the Light Path Classic was like Mingdu, with less than a fifth of its former glory, how could it support a powerful Secular Dynasty?
Unless there was someone behind the Light Path Classic?
Could it be someone?
Gu Ping had suspected Qiankun Dao, but it clearly didn’t fit.
He also considered Keke, an ancient family left over from a certain Human Emperor Dynasty in Dong Lai. However, aside from Nangong and Da Chu, what other families had the strength to compete for dominance in Tiandong?
Dao Zun ultimately faced a hurdle that Bu Luo had to overcome. When the Tian Zai carriage was present, Master Yin Tianheng seemed to be recounting his past, but in reality, he might have been reminding himself that even if Dao Zun couldn't personally enter the Eastern Realm, Coco could send a clone to Dong Lai.
In that case, even in the World of Mortals, Dao Zun still wielded immense influence.
With such missteps, how many could Yin Tianheng afford—two, three at most?
Gu Ping felt it wouldn't be too many; perhaps two would be manageable, but three would definitely be the limit.
Just as Gu Ping pondered this, the competition on stage finally determined a victor. Shepherd decisively defeated Chu Yunxiang with his solid Magical Foundation, showcasing a rising talent.
Many sensed an inexplicable urgency from Liquid Chuang, as if they were being chased to enhance their strength. An era of seizing positions and vying for power was quietly approaching.
