"Elder, this is the unique Spirit Tea of Xiaoye Country, known as Heart Refining Tea. It has a rich aroma that soothes the senses and slightly increases Spiritual Sense. Please enjoy!"
In Xiaoye Country, at the Royal City Garden, an elder respectfully presented a cup of Spirit Tea to Gu Yuan.
"Thank you, Elder Yan..."
The tea, which increases Spiritual Sense, was no longer useful to him, yet he still smiled and thanked him.
"You are too kind, too kind!"
The elder repeatedly said he didn’t deserve the gratitude and respectfully sat down below.
As his seat touched the chair, the elder still felt a bit dazed and his heart and spirit were shaken.
Half an hour ago, he thought Xiaoye Country and the Yan Family were finished.
After all, a Great Cultivator at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment ambushing two cultivators at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment was absolutely foolproof.
Yet unexpectedly, a single sword light changed everything.
Even now, the elder felt a faint sting in his eyes, as if opening them would once again reveal that sky-filling sword light.
The might of a Sword Cultivator is terrifying!
The Tribulation Cultivator at Late-stage Foundation Establishment was almost powerless under that sword light, being ground into dust and annihilated between heaven and earth, with hundreds of years of bitter cultivation turned to flowing water.
"Senior Brother Gu’s divine power is unparalleled; he will surely seize the True Inheritance Position, with hopes for a Golden Core!"
Yan Shanhe and Yan Qiankun exchanged a glance, with shock still lingering in their eyes, as they bowed to Gu Yuan and spoke.
Just upon seeing the Tribulation Cultivator reveal his Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, they inwardly thought things were bad and began planning escape routes.
Unexpectedly, the person before them, with just one sword strike, easily subdued the opponent they could hardly reach.
Under a great reputation, there are no false men!
Now they understood why, in just over ten years, this person could have made such a name in the Daoist School, attracting the affection of the Bian Family’s girl.
An invincible Sword Cultivator, overcoming foes beyond his level, a dragon among men!
"Just a Wild Independent Cultivator, not worthy of true consideration..."
Gu Yuan shook his head with a light smile, not taking it to heart.
The Yin Yang Double Fiend, although their cultivation reached Late-stage Foundation Establishment, had mana mixed and evidently used unconventional methods to break through.
Moreover, before leaving the Daoist School, he had retrieved his Golden Bamboo Sword.
With a High-grade Spiritual Sword in hand, his Sword Dao cultivation advanced another notch, allowing him to split into thirty sword lights.
Ordinary Loose Cultivators, with mixed mana and lacking top-tier Protective Spiritual Artifacts, how could they withstand his mighty strike?
"Overcoming foes beyond one’s level is already an extraordinary technique!"
Yan Shanhe couldn’t help but praise.
No matter what, that was a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, ahead by a small realm.
To be so easily killed, it’s too shocking.
"This matter is past, no need to mention it again. I’m just curious, why did the Tribulation Cultivator ambush you all?"
Gu Yuan didn’t fall into the flattery, his eyes slightly raised, directly questioning.
The Tribulation Cultivator, before dying, begged Gu Yuan for mercy, willing to offer the opportunity at Copper Hammer Mountain and even providing the method to break through.
Copper Hammer Mountain was Gu Yuan’s destination!
That near full-silver opportunity.
On that day, when Sword Fox Immortal was in the lead, and Celestial Fragrance Tower’s Golden Core was watching below, it was not appropriate to turn back in search of opportunity.
That would be too abrupt.
Gu Yuan thought of returning to rest for a while, then coming to seek this opportunity again.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity had already been targeted by someone.
Fortunately, his luck was good, as this person voluntarily collided with him, saving him from trouble.
At this moment, hearing Gu Yuan’s question, the Yan Family brothers fell silent.
Gu Yuan was not in a hurry either, leisurely sipping his tea.
"Elder Gu has unparalleled divine power and is a Golden Core Seed; would he covet our trivial bloodline!"
"Why not quickly explain everything!"
Seeing the two remain silent, the elder sitting at the lowermost place immediately became anxious, urging hurriedly.
Such a Fierce God Sword Cultivator, high on the seat, how could one conceal anything!
A slight hesitation might lead to a fatal disaster!
Yan Shanhe also knew there was no hiding it. Thinking over and over, he slowly explained: "Dare not deceive Senior Brother, our Yan Family bloodline indeed has some degree of divine anomaly!"
"Every disciple of our Yan Family, once stepping onto the path of cultivation, transforms into a peculiar physique known as ’Forbidden-breaking Body’."
"This body form adds nothing to the path of cultivation, but the Essence Blood can break Restrictions."
