1017: Chapter 89 The Significance of Qingyun Academy 1017: Chapter 89 The Significance of Qingyun Academy After the initial transformation of the true sun fire, Gu Chen once again used it to scorch his body and temper his physique.
Reaching such a level with his physical body, even the Light of Purification from Qingyun Academy couldnât help him much, yet it was extremely effective for monsters like Yan Qi and Ao Guang, from which one could see the strength of his physique.
Even after transformation, the true sun fire, now several times more refined and pure, struggled to further temper his physique.
However, the heavenly veins within his body became even more condensed and resilient.
At the same time, Gu Chenâs mana and three thousand one hundred years of cultivation had likewise been further purified.
âThis time in seclusion, my cultivation should also advance,â Gu Chen thought, looking at the robust points of merit on the panel, already having an idea in mind.
Once he obtained the light of the primordial spirit tomorrow, Gu Chen would have almost a full guarantee of breaking through to the God Transformation Realm during this seclusion.
As for Yan Qi and Chen Xuan, Gu Chen didnât pay much attention to them since they couldnât pose any real threat to him.
Or rather, they posed no threat at all.
The next day, as dawn broke, in the depths of the Ancient Path Site, a high platform rose distantly.
Atop it, strands upon strands of miraculous light shone like dawnâs glow or rainbow radiance, sparkling with a translucent luster, vaguely displaying a spectrum of colors, able to make oneâs heart waver.
Any creature that beheld these strands of miraculous light would have their mind shaken, their consciousness clarified.
This was the primordial spiritâs miraculous light, capable of helping cultivators refine their primordial spirits and cleanse their spiritual origin.
It was extremely beneficial for cultivators who had fully completed the Cave Heaven Realm!
It could be said that this was precisely what Qingyun Academy had meticulously prepared for the newly joined prodigies, hoping they could break through their bounds faster.
With the appearance of the primordial spiritâs light, truly everyone who came to the Ancient Path Site had gathered here.
âThere are a total of eighteen strands of primordial spiritâs light.
Itâs said that a cultivator can use at most three strands before they become useless,â someone said, looking at the high platform not far away.
Clearly, the primordial spiritâs light was insufficient for all, and those who wished to seize it would still need to compete!
Luckily, only some of the most exceptional monsters at the very top had come, not all of them; otherwise, the competition would be even more intense.
âThe opening of the Ancient Path Site this time is but a small test for the mighty.
Qingyun Academy has just begun, and there is plenty of time for those top monsters to compete!â someone said in secret.
âHowever, the contest for the primordial spiritâs light this time might not necessarily be any less intense.â
Chu Familyâs Chu Liufeng, Zifu Schoolâs Wang Yuan, Yuexiao Sectâs Chen Xuan, Xu Yi from the Hidden Sword Villa, and Luo Jiang from Luofu Mountain all arrived here.
âEh, why isnât the monster from the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, Yan Qi, here?â someone wondered with surprise, noticing that Yan Qi was not present.
âHe left.
After losing to Gu Bai yesterday and failing to seize the essence of sun fire, Yan Qi departed,â another person said.
âSo thatâs what happened.â The crowd suddenly understood.
âLook, Gu Bai is here!â At this moment, an astute talent spotted Gu Chen, dressed in black robes, his tall figure, loose black hair, and an ethereal aura as if an exiled immortal, arriving at the scene.
Seeing Gu Chen, Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect immediately showed a chilly expression.
Beside him was Xu Yi from the Hidden Sword Villa, who had a good relationship with Chen Xuan.
He said, âBrother Chen Xuan, do you need my help to teach this Gu Bai a lesson or two?â
Xu Yi, although not being present the previous day, had heard about the events.
The Hidden Sword Villa, also a colossal force in the East Profound Region, boasted supreme beings within.
Xu Yi bore no fear towards Gu Chen, a man without much background, reasoning that as long as he did not kill him, it was fine to embarrass him.
Regarding Yan Qiâs defeat, Xu Yi didnât consider it significant, believing that Yan Qi had been careless, whereas he would not give Gu Chen any chance.
Moreover, this was an opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
If he defeated Gu Chen, who had beaten Yan Qi, wouldnât it prove that he was stronger than Yan Qi?
Chen Xuan saw through Xu Yiâs intentions at a glance.
He contemplated and advised, âBrother Xu, Gu Bai is not someone easy to deal with.
If you do take action, please be very careful.â
Hearing this, Xu Yi smiled lightly and said, âBrother Chen Xuan, donât you know my strength?â
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
The two had sparred privately before, with Xu Yi being only slightly weaker than him.
Mainly because Xu Yi was two years younger and, although he had condensed three hundred and sixty-five heavenly veins, he had not yet developed his own internal Cave Heaven.
Creating an internal Cave Heaven is the true essence of the Cave Heaven Realm and indicates reaching a true great completion.
However, taking this step was not easy; after the number of heavenly veins was reached, one needed time to consolidate.
Of course, Xu Yi was much stronger than Tuoba Ying, whether in terms of foundation or other aspects.
In terms of minor divine abilities alone, Xu Yi had mastered two and not to mention he also possessed a spiritual treasure.
Hidden Sword Villa revered the sword above all!
If Xu Yi went all out, even if he couldnât defeat Gu Chen, retreating unharmed should not be too problematic, as long as he was not careless.
Therefore, Chen Xuan cautioned, âBrother Xu, if you decide to take action later, you must not be careless at all, Gu Bai is not easy to provoke!â
Xu Yiâs intervention would help him to gauge Gu Chenâs true capabilities, which was exactly what Chen Xuan wanted to witness.
After all, as far as Chen Xuan was concerned, the feud between him and Gu Chen was already established and would inevitably erupt one day.
âDonât worry, Brother Chen, I know,â Xu Yi smiled.
Immediately after, he stepped forward to approach Gu Chen and said, âI am Xu Yi from Hidden Sword Villa.
I have heard of Brother Guâs extraordinary strength and couldnât help but feel the urge to witness it.
I wonder if Brother Gu would grant me the honor?â
