Chapter 127 Being Schemed Against

Curator Wei constantly scrolled down the ranking list, seeing categories of supernatural powers and cultivation methods, insights on realms, and mass-producible spiritual materials and treasures from different worlds. He faintly felt a sense of doubt.

This... this isn't right...

These things are extremely valuable to those whose cultivation is below the conventional concept of the God realm.

They are not inferior to those natural treasures.

But once one embarks on their own path and chooses their own direction, the value of these insights from others will plummet, practically nosediving, while the importance of those spiritual materials and treasures will further increase at this stage.

These insights and supernatural powers can, at most, serve as inspiration from other mountains… But anyone with eyes can see how dangerous this task is. This isn't right. The risk-reward ratio doesn't match. Could it be that the cultivators of Guixu are all so selflessly dedicated?

Or… is there something else fishy?

Wei Yuan raised his eyes and scanned the cultivators connected to Guixu's massive Heavenly Secrets Array. Some were initially astonished, then seemed overjoyed. However, the cultivators emerging from certain array nodes looked pale, with a sense of loss. Yet, beneath this bewilderment, there was a surge of elation from a sudden, clear understanding of the path ahead.

There's a problem…

Wei Yuan's gaze swept over the description of this task, finally settling on that Heavenly-grade insight.

The Lord of Guixu was a domineering overlord with immense power in ancient times.

Having experienced the era when the Heavens suppressed all laws, this “Heavenly” carried significant weight for him.

"Only this one chance at the Heavenly-grade insight might tempt them…"

Wei Yuan heard the Guixu cultivators around him discussing that Heavenly-grade insight with lingering fear or longing.

"Truly terrifying, causing one's soul to despair, almost making one's liver and gallbladder burst…"

"Magnificent! Grand!"

"Just experiencing a little of it beforehand, I already feel that I have gained some insight into my Great Path, and the previous bottleneck has shown some signs of breaking through. I will definitely take this task!"

Those Guixu cultivators, their faces covered with masks to conceal their auras and real identities, walked past Wei Yuan, whispering to each other, their excitement unmasked. Wei Yuan felt a faint curiosity in his heart.

Could this be Guixu's foundation?

The true core that only those qualified to take on this task can access?

The Guixu guard beside him smiled and said, "Since you are qualified to come here and have received this special task, then you are all qualified to experience this Heavenly-grade insight once. Of course, this is only a part of it. If you want to fully experience it, you must complete the task and obtain truly valuable information."

…They even know how to release a little something in advance to stimulate consumption.

Lord of Guixu, back in ancient times, you were so extravagant that you bestowed even the unparalleled treasure medicine that could reverse life and death, something that Zhu Rong never received, to Chaos. You were so generous.

But now you've become like this.

Shameful!

Curator Wei's expression remained unchanged: "Then I naturally have to experience it first."

If there's wool to be sheared, why not shear it?

The Guixu guard smiled and said, "You will not be disappointed, young friend."

Wei Yuan nodded, maintaining his cold demeanor, and then followed the Guixu guard's guidance to a Heavenly Secrets Array for experiencing the Great Path. Guixu is extremely special. The myriad phenomena of the stars are eternally present. Kunlun Mountain is unique in all the realms, and Buzhou Mountain is the pillar of the world. As for Guixu, it is a great chasm in the Eastern Sea capable of swallowing and containing everything.

The Heavenly Secrets Array here is the most massive Wei Yuan has ever seen.

Even providing arrays with gathering spirit energy, calming the mind, and sudden enlightenment effects to aid cultivation.

One can vaguely see the spirit of Guixu in ancient times.

Well, but now it's not free here.

The Daoist looked at the jade talisman text that appeared beside him, charging a certain amount of merit points every hour.

Well, it seems they are really poor…

Not even letting go of mosquitoes' legs.

I wonder what happened… Heh, it couldn't be that I bankrupted him… The white-haired Daoist mocked himself inwardly, avoiding the truth he didn't want to believe, unwilling to believe that not only did he fail to successfully loot the body, but he also beat the Lord of Guixu, who could be called the Multi-Treasure Daoist of ancient times, to the point of poverty.

It couldn't be because all the top-tier magical treasures were smashed by me.

It couldn't be because his true form was trapped and he needed to reincarnate step by step to start over.

So all the natural treasures of the various realms have been used up.

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be…

"Alright, this is the place. Please, Daoist friend, experience it."

The Guixu guard nodded with a smile, activating the array. Wei Yuan calmed his mind, as if stepping into a point of void and depth, no longer contaminated by external objects, but still retaining a bit of expectation in his heart, a trace of curiosity, wondering what the so-called Heavenly-grade insight was.

The scene before him changed and flowed.

Wei Yuan seemed to have arrived in the ancient era with incredibly dense spiritual energy.

He understood that this was a supernatural power similar to the Shadow-Preserving Art of the Crouching Tiger Token, but even more powerful and profound, enough to allow the experiencer to personally feel the realm that a powerful figure had once experienced, to see the scenery that the predecessor had once seen.

Using this to gain enlightenment on the Great Path, to understand oneself, is a superior method of imparting the Dao.

Wei Yuan sighed inwardly, wondering if he should try it when lecturing on the Dao at Yuxu.

Immediately, the scene before him suddenly changed. The Daoist focused all his attention to see, but with just one glance, the expression on his face gradually solidified, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. If his own realm had not reached the level of gathering and dispersing at will, he would probably have transformed back to his original form on the spot.

In the Heavenly-grade insight, the heavens and earth were chaotic and oppressive, extremely heavy.

It was an unprecedented great battle!

The opponent was incomparably powerful, with a fierce aura around him, wearing a white Daoist robe, his hair tied with a black wooden hairpin, and two strands of white hair at his temples fluttering with the force. Then he raised one hand, and the sky became even more vast, the earth even thicker, and the man stood within it.

Wei Yuan looked blankly at the incomparably familiar Daoist in the picture.

Who is that?!

That's me! It's me!

He stared blankly at 'himself'.

Then, in the Heavenly Dao insight, an incomparably majestic sense of oppression. The Daoist raised his hand, his five fingers slightly closed, and then his wrist turned, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. With the force of overturning the sky, he smashed down suddenly, the heavens and earth overturned, causing the Qi to be locked. The experiencer could only watch from this first-person perspective as the heavens and earth were vast, watching the white-haired Daoist's palm slowly smash down.

Smashing fiercely onto the top of his own head.

Thus, the true spirit was shocked.

An unparalleled sense of indifference and unparalleled domineering aura arose spontaneously. Then the picture collapsed, and this experience ended. Wei Yuan stood blankly in the array, his heart a blank, vaguely feeling absurd, vaguely unable to believe it.

What is Guixu's Heavenly-grade insight?

It's me, damn it!

It's my Overturning the Heavens!

The Daoist had already recognized the surrounding environment. That was probably the battle where he killed the Lord of Guixu. The so-called Heavenly-grade insight was directly the Lord of Guixu's first-person victim perspective, and the Great Path being experienced was Wei Yuan's own Overturning the Heavens.

I shear wool all day long, but I never thought that one day I would be sheared by the sheep.

The freeloader is finally freeloaded on.

The corners of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, his eyes blank.

Using my moves and insights to hire cultivators to investigate my information…

The wool really comes from the sheep.

The Guixu guard had seen many experiencers lose their minds after coming out of the Heavenly-grade insight. Every time, he was extremely proud and smiled, "It seems that this is the first time young friend has come to experience this Heavenly-grade insight. However, when I first saw such a scene, I couldn't control myself and it took me a long time to recover."

"I just felt that the heavens and earth were vast, and I was insignificant."

"Um… indeed, shocking."

The Lord of Guixu's operation was too shocking; it almost broke his legs.

The Daoist nodded and said, "I wonder, where does this Heavenly-grade insight come from?"

The Guixu guard smiled and replied, "It is an ancient powerhouse who was an enemy of my Guixu's Lord of Guixu. After several battles, he was killed by the Lord of Guixu, who then brought his corpse here, pressing it down with layers of giant mountains. His true spirit is dead, nothing remains in the heavens and earth, and he has already turned into ashes."

???

The Daoist's smile couldn't hold back.

The guard had been stationed here for a long time and had never seen this person. He also knew that only those with outstanding talent, or those who had completed extremely well the tasks assigned to them, were qualified to come here and take on this task. Therefore, with the intention of recruiting these talents for his Lord, he said with a smile:

"Does young friend have any free time?"

"If you have time, you might as well come to my place for a cup of tea."

"I'll take up a cup of tea's worth of your time to introduce you to my Guixu's overlord, our Lord and savior, the supreme of the four seas, the unparalleled powerhouse of ancient times, the Lord of Guixu."

The old man enthusiastically led the Daoist, who had transformed his appearance, to a quiet room and began to boast.

Saying that he suppresses the four seas, cultivates the Four Fiends, and also holds the Four Spirits in his hands.

Incomparably mighty.

And that Heavenly-grade insight.

"My Guixu's Lord of Guixu, although he killed and suppressed him, that opponent sincerely requested that the Lord of Guixu help him leave behind a legacy before he died. The Lord of Guixu also felt that if such a supernatural power were lost, it would be a pity. Therefore, although they were enemies, he left behind the power of this Daoist's legacy."

Several Guixu elites nearby repeatedly exclaimed, "What great power!"

"Leaving a legacy for his enemy, what a magnanimous demeanor!"

"Magnificent, grand!"

"Yes, yes!"

The Daoist's forehead veins bulged, and his smile slightly curled.

The Guixu guard stroked his beard and continued:

"And the reason for passing down the legacy, on the one hand, is because of the opponent's request; on the other hand, it is also to remind you all to pay attention to this person. If you notice anything, you must report it back. Although that opponent is dead, he is also a supreme powerhouse standing in the long river of time, with the possibility of returning from the past, present, and future."

A young man worried, "If that person really returns…"

"Heh…"

The Guixu guard held his tea and said casually, "Don't worry."

"The Lord has said."

"It's just killing that opponent again!"

Everyone was shocked, and then repeatedly exclaimed:

"Good! What a great line, 'It's just killing him again!'"

"How domineering! How confident! And what a demeanor of a powerhouse!"

This sentence once again stirred up the hearts of these Guixu cultivators, making them extremely yearn for it, constantly praising it. The corners of the Daoist's mouth curled up bit by bit, and his forehead twitched. He had a strong impulse to directly pull out the Lord of Guixu and slap him eighteen times across the face, making his face bloom with peach blossoms.

The Guixu guard paid attention to the performance of this new face and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

The Daoist restrained his own distracting thoughts, his heart calm.

He just held the teacup, his expression sincere and gentle: “…Amazing, amazing.”

I've already recorded this scene today.

When I beat that bastard to death, I'll burn this thing for him.

Wei Yuan's expression was unwavering, and the other Guixu people regarded him as a fellow traveler. They looked at each other and said, "The idle talk is here. Since that Yuxu is lecturing on the Dao at Buzhou Mountain, his strength is probably beyond what we can reach. Even if we have the treasures bestowed by the Lord."

"Being able to conceal our auras and hide our karma, it won't be easy to enter."

"I think we should work together."

The other Guixu elites were all selected from rounds of battles. They either nodded slightly or responded softly, agreeing with this statement. Wei Yuan did the same, not saying much, just sitting quietly here, listening to these Guixu cultivators who had stepped above the God realm discussing and negotiating.

How to use the power of Guixu and merge with the Guixu guards and powerhouses.

To disrupt the Yuxu Dao Discussion.

……………………

Zhenyao Museum.

Jue recognized the special nature of this invitation and nodded slightly, choosing to accept it.

Her voice was gentle and soft, saying:

"This thing is a bit dangerous, so leave it here."

"We'll take it in as a valuable antique letter, how about that?"

"You, um, Boss Lady, do you know the origin of this thing?"

"Yes, it comes from a not-so-good…" Jue nodded, her voice paused slightly, and explained: "A relatively mysterious organization. If you participate in it, there will be a certain danger, so leave it."

The little girl with glasses was granted amnesty, did not ask for a reward, and only left after thanking her.

"Um, there is Chi You's aura… Um? Bai Ze, Bai Ze?"

Jue called out twice and found that Bai Ze was gone.

Did he sense Chi You's aura and run away?

Is he afraid that his female form will be seen by Chi You?

The maiden guessed slightly, then shook her head helplessly, playing with the invitation in her hand. The pure Qi flowed in her own pupils, but there was also a slight turbid Qi emanating, stimulating the invitation. A huge attraction appeared, and Jue originally wanted to resist it.

But she sensed that there was Wei Yuan's aura in it.

Um? Yuan…

He's in Guixu?

The celestial maiden thought about it, felt curious, and after slightly divining the good and bad luck.

She did not resist, but instead restrained her own aura and stepped into Guixu.
