Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 286: Giant Spirit Temple

The city of Liuhe is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a barrier around it.

In the middle of Liuhe City, there is a natural lake. The entire city is built around this lake and divided into six smaller cities.

Looking down from above, the mountains surround Liuhe City like a ring, and the central lake is also circular. This impressive arrangement of concentric circles leaves a deep impression.

"Master Gao, Liuhe City is divided into six cities: Upper, Lower, East, South, West, and North. The Upper City is where the sect's direct disciples reside, while the other four cities are divided based on wealth and status."

Huang Yan pointed outside the window and enthusiastically introduced, "Only the Lower City is special. It gathers cultivators from all walks of life, including Devil Cultivators and even transformed Monster Race members. It's more lively than the southern district of our Azure Cloud City."

Huang Yan is a deacon of the Cloud River Tower in Liuhe City. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is honest. However, he has a good way with words, speaking in an organized and friendly manner.

He is enthusiastic without appearing obsequious. His demeanor is well-balanced, and Gao Xian feels that this deacon of Liuhe City has great potential.

At least he excels in interpersonal skills, which is a significant advantage in fierce competition.

Gao Xian had never been to Liuhe City before, so he naturally chose the Cloud River Tower's flying ship, which is the most convenient and fastest way to travel to the various sects of the Qingyun Path.

As for confidentiality, Gao Xian didn't even consider it.

Once he arrived in Liuhe City, the news would spread quickly, making it impossible to keep it a secret.

What kind of powerful individuals could there be in such a small city? If he couldn't defeat them, could he not escape?

Before coming to Liuhe City, Gao Xian used 2.4 million Human Dao Spiritual Lights to elevate his Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique to the Mastery level.

The Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique is his second-stage secret technique.

The Tai Zhen Puppet God and Thunderbolt Lightning Technique can only be considered secret arts. It is because of the integration of the Tai Zhen Puppet God and the Five Elements Qi Integrated Union that the importance of the Tai Zhen Puppet God has been further enhanced, elevating it from the level of secret arts to secret techniques.

Secret arts and supernatural powers are merely tools for application. They are like divine armaments, no matter how powerful one's cultivation is, they cannot achieve immortality.

However, secret techniques can temper cultivators, continuously improve their cultivation base, and allow them to step onto the path of immortality.

This is the fundamental difference between secret arts and secret techniques.

Gao Xian's fundamental secret technique is the Great Five Elements Art, followed by the Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique he learned in the Azure Cloud Sect.

This secret technique is vast and profound, but fortunately, it can be upgraded through the integration of the Doppelganger Technique and the Human Dao Spiritual Light, saving countless time and energy.

The Mastery level of the Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique is still not enough to bring about a qualitative change. It only makes it easier for him to control his doppelganger and become more proficient in the various techniques of the Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique.

Even the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe has seen a slight improvement through this upgrade.

With the Great Principle Divine Transformation Doppelganger Technique, Gao Xian is full of confidence.

Not to mention anything else, having two avatars is equivalent to having two lives. Not to mention the technique of avatar substitution, which allows him to easily escape from various dangers.

Even if there were cultivators like Yin Baishi and Shui Yuying, who were third-rank Gold Core cultivators, even if two or three of them came, they would not be able to capture him.

The Six Harmonies Sect is led by a Gold Core Perfected Being named Lu Bingyang.

This Perfected Being is said to be almost 700 years old and, according to the calculations of Gold Core longevity, is already in the final stage of life.

According to Lu Jingxu, Lu Bingyang has a strong personality, high intelligence, and great ambition. Despite his old age, he is still active and energetic.

It was also under the influence of Lu Bingyang that the Six Harmonies Sect gradually relaxed its control over the Eastern Wasteland Devil Cultivators and Monster Race, allowing them to enter.

This bold move caused some chaos within the Six Harmonies Sect, but it also brought prosperity to the sect.

Lu Shidao, who has a naturally born Xuan Yang Spirit Body and a good appearance and temperament, was not accepted by the Azure Cloud Sect because they were wary of the Six Harmonies Sect's background.

Lu Jingxu specifically warned Gao Xian to be careful of Lu Bingyang, as long as the price is right, Lu Bingyang would definitely be willing to be captured and sold.

Gao Xian could tell that Lu Jingxu didn't think highly of his own family, and Gao Xian agreed with this assessment.

The four sects, including the Lianyun Sect and Qingfeng Sect, which are adjacent to the Eastern Wasteland, were forced to form an alliance and engage in fierce battles with the Seven Kill Sect and Devil Cultivators, resulting in a tragic situation.

However, the Six Harmonies Sect remained unscathed and their business thrived.

This is the difference.

From this, it can be seen that Lu Bingyang's character is indeed questionable. He is only interested in personal gain and doesn't care about the potential harm that Devil Cultivators and Monster Race may bring.

On the other hand, Lu Bingyang's ability to establish such a business is indeed impressive and should not be underestimated.

Huang Yan naturally didn't know what Gao Xian was thinking, so he wholeheartedly introduced the situation of the Six Harmonies City, hoping to leave a lasting impression on this true disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect.

As a deacon who is not from a prestigious family, Huang Yan knows the weight of the true transmission of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Although Gao Xian is currently not in charge, his future is limitless. Everyone says that Gao Xian will definitely reach the Gold Core stage.

Among the current generation of the Azure Cloud Sect, Gao Xian is the most prominent figure, surpassing Yun Qiushui. In the true transmission, he is considered an outstanding individual.

Huang Yan naturally had to be careful and not be careless.

The Xuanjin Flying Ship landed outside the West City, and the people from the Cloud River Tower had already arranged a carriage.

Huang Yan accompanied Gao Xian and took him to the backyard of the Cloud River Tower. This courtyard was specially used to entertain distinguished guests and was elegantly decorated, with protective formations ensuring safety.

Gao Xian declined the several beautiful maids arranged by Huang Yan, using the excuse of needing quiet. They were too attractive, and as someone who is casual, it would be easy for him to make mistakes when spending time with them.

He wasn't pretending to be innocent, but such interactions would not benefit either party.

The Six Harmonies Sect is not a kind place. Not to mention Lu Bingyang's intentions, they had to be cautious of Shui Yuying.

In this situation, he would be safer and more convenient on his own.

Gao Xian asked Huang Yan to send a business card to Liuhe Sect. He is now the true successor of Shenxiao and represents the face of Azure Cloud Sect. He must act according to the rules.

It is not possible to go directly to Liuhe Sect. If the other party is unprepared, it will not only be embarrassing for them, but also for Gao Xian.

It is better to inform in advance and arrange a meeting time for both parties.

Huang Yan has been in Liuhe City for ten years, so he naturally handles such small matters properly.

The business card was delivered to the Lu family mansion in the upper city on the same day.

This mansion is the residence of Lu Shidao, and this is what Gao Xian meant, to talk to Lu Shidao first.

At least find out the situation before visiting Sect Leader Lu Bingyang. It would be boring if they were to be turned away.

Lu Shidao was drinking with friends in the courtyard when he received the business card presented by the servant. He opened it and laughed, saying, "He's here."

Beside him, a young man in black raised an eyebrow and said, "Gao Xian, the leader of the Qingyun Conference?"

The young man, Ye Qixiu, had thick eyebrows and a tall and imposing figure. He was even taller than Lu Shidao, and he exuded a powerful and extraordinary aura.

"That's right," Lu Shidao nodded and said, "This Gao Xian is exceptional in both swordsmanship and martial arts. He has also killed Yin Jiu Shi, a Gold Core Perfected Being of the Yinmo Sect. He is quite formidable."

Upon hearing Lu Shidao's praise for Gao Xian, Ye Qixiu showed a look of dissatisfaction and said, "With such prestige, I must meet him!"

He had a natural inclination for fighting and, after practicing the Juling Scripture, he became even more domineering and powerful.

Since his Foundation Establishment, he had hardly encountered any opponents.

Juling Sect was located in the Eastern Wasteland, and the Sect Master, Ye Huanyuan, was a Gold Core Perfected Being. He occupied a good spiritual land in the Eastern Wasteland and led several disciples, establishing a reputation on the edge of the Eastern Wasteland.

Juling Sect and Liuhe Sect were very close, and due to trade relations, the two sides were getting closer.

Ye Qixiu and Lu Shidao had a good relationship, and Lu Shidao had mentioned Gao Xian several times, which made Ye Qixiu somewhat dismissive of him.

Lu Shidao smiled and said, "Brother Ye, your Juling Divine Palm is mighty and unparalleled, but you should not underestimate this person. His profound spells are truly admirable."

As he spoke, he looked at Fan Lingzhen, a white-robed woman on his left, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lingzhen, does this person have any connection with your sect? He also possesses an Azure Lotus Sword."

Fan Lingzhen had a beautiful appearance but was bald. She wore a white monk's robe and had bare feet.

She sat there, drinking calmly, with clear emerald eyes that were pure and gentle, like a dust-free white lotus.

Fan Lingzhen slowly finished her drink and then looked at Lu Shidao and said softly, "There are countless sects in the world that use the lotus flower as their emblem, so it cannot be used as a basis for judgment."

Fan Lingzhen's voice was soft and clean, just like her person, full of captivating beauty.

Lu Shidao, however, turned his gaze away and dared not meet Fan Lingzhen's eyes. The people of White Lotus Sect were all wicked.

Despite Fan Lingzhen's pure appearance like a white lotus, this woman was even more terrifying than Ye Qixiu.

In the realm of light and darkness, existence arises and ceases due to causes and conditions. No one can clearly determine when Fan Lingzhen is normal or abnormal.

The White Lotus Sect has a large number of followers in the Eastern Wasteland, including some Monster Race followers, and wields great influence. It is incomparable to the secluded Giant Spirit Temple.

"So that's how it is, I was overthinking it."

Lushi Daozhu mainly wanted to instigate Fan Lingzhen, but seeing that the other party didn't respond, he changed his tone and said, "Gao Xian is an outstanding individual with exceptional qualities. Fellow Daoist Lingzhen might as well meet him."

"Sure, since we've encountered each other, I would like to witness the true transmission of the Azure Cloud Sect."

Fan Lingzhen smiled ambiguously and said, "I have long heard of the Azure Cloud Sect's reputation in the Eastern Wasteland."

"I'll treat you both tomorrow, it's a perfect opportunity."

Lushi Daozhu continued, "Gao Xian is an esteemed guest of our sect. Brother Ye and Fellow Daoist Lingzhen, please give me some face and refrain from fighting with him."

"Hahaha..."

Ye Qixiu laughed heartily and said, "Xiaolu, I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't let you lose face, and I'll teach this kid a lesson."

Lushi Daozhu's thoughts were exposed by Ye Qixiu, but instead of being angry or embarrassed, he laughed heartily, "My little scheme can't fool Brother Ye."

He curiously asked, "I heard that Perfected Being Ye is also in the Six Harmonies City?"

"Master is here to visit an old friend."

Ye Qixiu casually replied, "You don't need to worry about that, it has nothing to do with us."

Lushi Daozhu smiled and didn't say anything. Ye Huanyuan was a Gold Core Perfected Being and also from the Eastern Wasteland. He posed a great threat to the Six Harmonies City, so how could it have nothing to do with him!

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, Ye Qixiu is quite tight-lipped!

Meanwhile, Ye Huanyuan, who was mentioned by Lushi Daozhu, was currently drinking in a hall.

Ye Huanyuan had a sturdy figure, with a thick beard covering most of his face. His earth-yellow Daoist robe was quite loose, and he held a black iron staff. Sitting there, he didn't look impressive at all, and even had a somewhat rustic appearance.

On the opposite side sat Shui Yuying, who had broken up with Ye Huanyuan after playing with him for two months, partly because she couldn't stand his rustic style.

Now she had to beg Ye Huanyuan for help, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

After a few months, Shui Yuying had barely recovered her cultivation base, and she used various spiritual objects to conceal the signs of aging on her body, but she no longer had the youthful radiance she once had.

As a Gold Core Perfected Being, Ye Huanyuan naturally noticed the subtle changes in Shui Yuying's condition.

He was somewhat surprised and said, "Yuying, you've aged!"

Shui Yuying gave Ye Huanyuan a white look and said, "You always speak so harshly."

She didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "I was ruined by that Gao Xian. Ye Ge, as long as you help me deal with Gao Xian, I'll promise you anything..."
