Gu Yuan's eyes shone with a light called ambition. How could he not be tempted by what Gu Shaoshang told him? To become the Martial Ancestor of all worlds, replacing Gu Shaoshang!
Seeing this, Gu Shaoshang said no more, smiling at Gu Yuan and waiting for his reply.
After a long while, Gu Yuan looked at the Martial Ancestor again and said sternly, "I can agree, but you must remove all the arrangements other people have made on me."
"Simple!" Gu Shaoshang snapped his fingers, and a wondrous power manifested. The Fate God behind Gu Yuan appeared by itself, without Gu Yuan's involvement.
The Great Emperor Ziwei, the Northern Pole, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven!
The phantom's eyes radiated a rich and noble purple glow, looking at the leisurely Gu Shaoshang with anger.
But it was useless. Gu Shaoshang even smiled disdainfully. The power that emanated a breath Gu Yuan could not comprehend swept over, and the purple phantom that was the Great Emperor Ziwei turned into specks of purple dust and disappeared.
Gu Yuan's Dao Luck Celestial Map also sent a prompt:
[Fate God has dissipated! Please select again.]
A majestic blue figure emanating countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared from within Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan looked inward and saw that the true qi of the Nine Heavens Purple Clouds Divine Thunder Art, which he had cultivated for a long time, had completely vanished, leaving only the innate primal qi within Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan looked at the blue, majestic figure radiating purple lightning with shock.
He never expected that his ninth-rank martial art, which he had cultivated for so long, was also part of a powerful being's arrangement. According to what Gu Shaoshang had just said, this figure was one of the Four Emperors of the Heavenly Court, on par with the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Northern Pole, the Supreme Emperor of Heaven, who governed all the endless lightning in the myriad worlds – the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole!
His avatar was the very famous Heavenly Venerate of Thunder, the Heavenly Venerate of Thunder Sound Puhua of the Nine Heavens!
The blue phantom smiled silently at Gu Shaoshang, bowed slightly, and then transformed into countless blue rays of light and disappeared from its spot.
This was not over. The fate inscriptions etched into his soul also began to change continuously, and finally, streams of various colored lights dissipated, leaving only a few strands of fate.
Shock flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes. He never expected, never expected, that so many people had been making arrangements for him without his knowledge.
With a thought, he opened his panel.
[Dao Master]: [Gu Yuan]
[Fate God]: [None]
[Fate]: [Primal Chaos Qi]
[Realm]: [True Qi Realm (Great Completion)]
[Fates]: [Primal Chaos Yuan Fetus (Gold)], [Innate Physique (Purple)], [All Meridians Open (Purple)], [Melting Gold Refining Body (Purple)], [Supporting Heaven Shaking Earth (Purple)], [Body of Horizontal Refining (Green)], [Qi Swallowing Dou Niu (Green)], [Martial Skill Mastery (Green)], [Spiritual Qi Affinity (Green)], [Peerless (Green)], [Avoiding Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster (Green)], [Never Missing the Mark (Green)], [Dao of the Saber Master (Green)]
With a few less fate inscriptions, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had feared that all the fate inscriptions he had imprinted were the arrangements of others.
"How does it feel to be schemed against?" Gu Shaoshang said with a smile.
Gu Yuan could only force a wry smile.
Gu Shaoshang's expression turned serious: "Gu Yuan, if you are willing to cultivate my path, rest assured, I disdain to play dirty tricks."
"Gu Yuan is willing." At this point, what choice did Gu Yuan have? After all, the other party was in his soul world, and destroying him would only take a single thought.
"Very good." Gu Shaoshang nodded, then said, "For your Fate God, it's better to invite yourself. We martial artists have no gods; we rely entirely on our own fists. Fists are power!"
"I will now pass on to you the martial arts that can cultivate to the limit of acquired beings. As for the cultivation technique, the main one you are currently cultivating is already very good, and your talent in the Dao of the Saber is also excellent. I will also teach you a saber technique. Remember, the martial arts I pass on to you are all countless insights; the specific techniques must be created by yourself."
"The path of cultivation speaks of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and none can be lacking."
After Gu Shaoshang finished speaking, he gently waved his clean hand, as if stroking Gu Yuan's celestial spirit. Countless martial arts insights surged into Gu Yuan's mind. In just a few seconds, his information storage was overflowing, and the rest automatically formed into martial dao crystals, suspended in Gu Yuan's soul space.
"Also, your physique has been contaminated by inferior martial arts. I will help you improve it as well." Gu Shaoshang seemed to recall a powerful being who loved research when he was cultivating in the Vastness.
Gu Yuan's external body was instantly enveloped by an extremely pure vital energy. All traces of his cultivation of true qi martial arts were eliminated, but some illusions remained. Unless one was on a level surpassing Gu Shaoshang, even the Great Emperor Ziwei would only be able to see that Gu Yuan cultivated true qi martial arts.
The Primal Chaos Yuan Fetus in Gu Yuan's dantian began to slowly melt, gradually transforming into wisps of primal chaos qi that integrated into Gu Yuan's body, causing his body to undergo miraculous changes. Mysterious patterns were etched onto his bones, and his flesh and blood contained infinite vital energy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't even have such a good physique back then. You are truly lucky." Gu Shaoshang said with emotion. He had gone through so much effort to obtain an Ancient Sacred Body.
"I have a saber technique, the Divine Emperor's Unrivaled!" Gu Shaoshang lightly waved his hand, and a miniature jade saber turned into a stream of light, suspended in Gu Yuan's soul space. After doing all this, Gu Shaoshang smiled softly, "The chess game is set, now we just wait for the players."
With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and gradually left Gu Yuan's soul space. A hearty laugh echoed: "Gu Yuan, this world is a training ground for gods and demons. When you achieve the level of an Innate God and Demon, then go to the myriad worlds and unleash your brilliance to your heart's content. If anything happens, I will cover for you!!"
Immersed in countless martial arts insights, Gu Yuan vaguely heard the Martial Ancestor's voice. He wanted to open his eyes but was submerged by the ocean of martial arts insights.
The sky began to brighten slightly, and pleasant birdsong echoed from the well-greened dormitory area.
Pale yellow sunlight shone on Gu Yuan's handsome face. Gu Yuan frowned slightly and then slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with endless martial arts insights.
Getting out of bed, Gu Yuan smelled a foul odor. He looked down and saw that his clean clothes were covered in black dirt and impurities.
Gu Yuan's figure flickered, and he immediately went to the bathroom. The sound of rushing water followed. Half an hour later, Gu Yuan, with his hair still wet, returned to the bedroom and waved to open the window, dispelling the odor in the room.
He then sat on the bed with the sheets changed and looked inward at himself.
Blood like vast rivers flowed through his blood vessels, each drop radiating a crystalline glow.
His tendons were like coiled dragons, and his bones were like white jade reaching the heavens, supporting Gu Yuan's entire body.
The Primal Chaos Yuan Fetus in his dantian had also disappeared. Gu Yuan was a little confused, and with a thought, he summoned his panel.
[Dao Master]: [Gu Yuan]
[Fate God]: [None]
[Fate]: [Supreme Martial Saint]
[Realm]: [???]
[Fates]: [Primal Chaos Yuan Physique (Gold)], [Supreme Martial Saint (Gold)], [Heaven Devouring Earth Devouring (Red)], [Qi and Blood Like Dragon (Purple)], [Supporting Heaven Shaking Earth (Purple)], [Martial Skill Mastery (Green)], [Peerless (Green)], [Avoiding Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster (Green)], [Never Missing the Mark (Green)], [Dao of the Saber Master (Green)]
...
Gu Yuan's face was silent. Was this his panel?
How did it change so much? He could understand the disappearance of the fate inscription related to the Great Emperor Ziwei, and he could also understand "Supreme Martial Saint," but where did "Heaven Devouring Earth Devouring" come from?
Gu Yuan inquired with the Dao Luck Celestial Map in his mind and received a response. He didn't expect that "Qi Swallowing Dou Niu" and "Melting Gold Refining Body" and "Spiritual Qi Affinity" had merged to form it, possessing the characteristic of devouring all energy to strengthen itself.
Tsk, tsk, he never imagined that his realm was so profound that the Dao Luck Celestial Map could no longer sense it. Gu Yuan began to check his strength and found himself in the Blood Qi Realm of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts, at the stage of Qi and Blood Like Dragon.
Qi and Blood Martial Arts Realms: Body Refining Realm, Blood Changing Realm, Blood Qi Realm, Meridian Opening Realm, Dharma Image Realm, Celestial Vault Realm, Heaven Ascending Realm!
Reaching the Heaven Ascending Realm meant the limit of acquired martial arts. Gu Yuan's martial arts information in his mind did not mention what came after.
He exhaled softly and looked at the rising sun in the distance. He never expected that overnight, he had switched cultivation systems and met the Martial Ancestor. This was the unpredictability of life!
