Chapter 1045: Chapter 926: A Perfect Match
“Who are you? What’s your name? How did you come out of that strange Golden Door? And where do those mutant beasts come from?”
Chen Daozang flew hundreds of miles with the blue-clothed youth, completely shaking off the pursuit of the mutant beasts, entering near another secret base, and asked in a deep voice.
He had too many questions in his mind. He knew all the top experts on Earth like the back of his hand, but he couldn’t gauge the depth of the blue-clothed youth’s strength.
But in his view, since the blue-clothed youth could escape the chase of so many powerful mutant beasts, his strength must not be weak, so he was very puzzled and extremely cautious, not bringing the blue-clothed youth into the secret base.
“My name is Gu Yun, from the Tianyuan Sect…”
Although the blue-clothed youth was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Daozang’s questions, the other party had just saved his life, so he patiently recounted how he went to the Xuan Beast Forest to steal the Profound Ice Lotus and was chased by the Flame Eagle.
There was really nothing to hide since he got nothing and almost died at the hands of the Flame Eagle, without worrying about being killed and robbed.
“——”
Chen Daozang looked dumbfounded, feeling as if he were listening to an inscrutable tome.
“Rest assured, since you saved me, what I said naturally counts, I will not treat you unfairly!” The blue-clothed youth saw Chen Daozang’s dumbfounded expression and said with a frown.
His strength was far superior to Chen Daozang’s; if not for his severe injuries at the moment, he would not have this much patience.
“Xuan… Xuan Beast Forest? What kind of place is that?”
Chen Daozang steadied himself and asked.
The Qinghong Organization could be said to have a presence all over the globe, and he considered that there was no place he didn’t know. According to Gu Yun, this Xuan Beast Forest should be very well known!
“You… you don’t know the Xuan Beast Forest?”
Just now, Gu Yun was carried through the air by Chen Daozang and now was in the desert, not noticing any difference from the Xuan Realm. However, after hearing Chen Daozang’s words, he felt something was amiss—almost everyone in the Xuan Realm knew about the Xuan Beast Forest.
Once speaking, Gu Yun did not wait for Chen Daozang to respond, carefully observing his surroundings, and widened his eyes asking, “Isn’t this the Xuan Realm?”
“Xuan… Xuan Realm? What’s that kind of world? Isn’t it an unopened Holy Land?”
Chen Daozang frowned. He could see that Gu Yun wasn’t deceiving him, but he didn’t know what this Xuan Realm was, instinctively assuming it was an unopened Holy Land.
“The Xuan Realm is the world we live in!”
As he said this, Gu Yun felt more and more that something was wrong, and then realizing something, he exclaimed, “No! How can the spiritual energy here be so thin? This isn’t the Xuan Realm!”
Being a cultivator, Gu Yun was very sensitive to changes in spiritual energy. Initially too focused on escaping, he hadn’t noticed this, but now he finally felt it. The spiritual energy here was shockingly thin, utterly unlike the dense energy of the Xuan Realm.
“That’s right, this isn’t the Xuan Realm, this is Earth!”
Chen Daozang, worthy of being a hero, quickly regained his composure after a brief shock and spoke calmly.
Meanwhile, his mind was racing. A cultivator from the Xuan Realm was definitely a valuable asset. From Gu Yun’s few words, Chen Daozang had already deduced many things.
First, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Xuan Realm is far denser than on Earth.
Second, in the Xuan Realm, the True Essence Realm might no longer be the bottleneck restricting their cultivation. Many must have broken through the True Essence Realm.
Third, Gu Yun has great potential for use. If utilized well, he could help him dominate Earth.
“Earth? What is Earth?” Gu Yun looked at Chen Daozang with a face full of confusion.
“Earth is…”
Chen Daozang intended to explain to Gu Yun, but he found it too difficult. As an Earth person, no one needed to explain what Earth was, but trying to explain it to someone with no concept of Earth was extremely challenging.
“This world is called Earth, here…”
After a brief pause, Chen Daozang organized his thoughts and briefly explained Earth’s situation to Gu Yun.
“Unexpectedly, truly unexpectedly, that golden Light Gate was actually a passage connecting the Xuan Realm and Earth…”
Gu Yun was in a daze, this news was too shocking for him, rendering him unable to accept it.
Not only was he speechless, but Chen Daozang also didn’t speak, both needing time to digest what Gu Yun had revealed.
For a moment, the two fell into silence!
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Daozang was the first to break the stalemate, cautiously saying to Gu Yun, “Since you are a cultivator from the Xuan Realm, your realm must have a method to break through to the True Essence Realm. I have been stuck at this bottleneck for many years, and I hope you can tell me how to break through to the True Essence Realm and help me achieve that.”
Earlier, Gu Yun had also pondered a lot. From Chen Daozang’s words, he gathered much information and learned that Earth’s spiritual energy was extremely thin, even in the so-called Holy Lands, nowhere near as dense as in the Xuan Realm.
However—
Under such thin spiritual energy and harsh cultivation conditions, Chen Daozang could rely on his own talent and effort to cultivate to the Half-step True Essence Realm. In the Xuan Realm, he would definitely be considered a demon-level genius.
Although there are many cultivators in the Xuan Realm, those who can achieve such accomplishments under such thin spiritual energy are rare like phoenix feathers and qilin horns!
Even in any sect, people would scramble to recruit someone like him, but now one appeared right before him. Although Gu Yun was not very old, he was also a shrewd and strategic guy, and readily agreed.
“Thank you, Mr. Gu!”
Chen Daozang bowed deeply, eager to truly step into the True Essence Realm and then seek out Zhe Xuanji and Yan. Now that there was suddenly hope for a breakthrough, his excitement was impossible to hide.
“Don’t thank me yet. I have conditions. I can tell you the method to break through to the True Essence Realm, but the prerequisite is that you must join my Tianyuan Sect and become a disciple. Otherwise, I won’t tell you!”
Gu Yun glanced at Chen Daozang and continued, “Also, even if you’re on Earth, you have to serve my Tianyuan Sect by recruiting talented young cultivators on Earth and gathering them under your command to supply cultivation talent to the Tianyuan Sect.”
“No problem. As long as you can help me break through to the True Essence Realm, I can gather all the talented young cultivators on Earth for you!”
Chen Daozang agreed straightforwardly. As long as it allowed him to break through to the True Essence Realm, no price was too high. Besides, these conditions were not really a cost to him; they aligned perfectly with his plan to unify Earth.
For him, having the hard backing of the Tianyuan Sect from the Xuan Realm, along with the hope of breaking through to the True Essence Realm, who on Earth could be his match?
Once he reached the True Essence Realm, the first thing Chen Daozang intended to do was to cause trouble for Chu Xuanji and Yan, followed by Ye Fan and his son.
Seeing Chen Daozang agree so readily, Gu Yun found it somewhat unexpected. Although he had strong confidence in his sect, Chen Daozang achieving the Half-step True Essence Realm in the thin spiritual environment of Earth was surely not someone to be manipulated easily.
However, upon reflection, Gu Yun quickly understood. To him, Earth was an uncivilized lower world. Even if there were demon-level geniuses like Chen Daozang in these lowly worlds, it couldn’t overshadow the fact.
Compared to the cultivators of the Xuan Realm, the cultivators on Earth were far inferior, simply incomparable!
Even if Chen Daozang did break through to the True Essence Realm, he would at most be invincible on Earth. In the Xuan Realm, many could easily kill him, so there was no worry of betrayal.
Gu Yun intended to turn Earth into a stronghold and a vast talent pool for the Tianyuan Sect through Chen Daozang.
And… Chen Daozang, on the other hand, aimed to gain some cultivation methods from the Xuan Realm through Gu Yun and the Tianyuan Sect, hoping to quickly step into the threshold of the True Essence Realm and become truly invincible in the cultivation world of Earth.
The two, it could be said, each fulfilled their own needs, so when Gu Yun proposed this idea, both parties immediately hit it off.
“The key to breaking through to the True Essence Realm lies in transforming True Qi into True Yuan, forming a True Essence Sea within the body…”
After discussing some detailed matters, Gu Yun began to share with Chen Daozang some tips and insights on breaking through to the True Essence Realm.
Chen Daozang listened intently, cross-verifying with his own understanding, and immediately realized that the Xuan Realm indeed had unique insights into advancing to the True Essence Realm, which he hadn’t thought of.
After saying all this, Gu Yun suddenly recalled something, his expression changed, and, in a hurry, he said to Chen Daozang, “Oh no, I forgot something important!”
“What is it?”
Chen Daozang froze, thinking Gu Yun was referring to matters related to breaking into the True Essence Realm, and instantly grew tense.
Gu Yun said dejectedly, “The Flame Eagle that was chasing me is accompanied by a large number of mutant beasts, what you refer to as beasts, and they’ve arrived on Earth. If the cultivators on Earth are really as you described, they simply can’t resist, and Earth will surely be doomed!”
“I admit, those beasts are indeed very powerful, but in Earthly Wine Cup, there are some formidable cultivators as well; these beasts might not necessarily have the advantage.”
Chen Daozang pondered a bit and revealed the cultivation levels of Zhe Xuanji and Yan to Gu Yun. After all, they’ve even slain Half-step True Essence Realm mutant beasts, so this crisis shouldn’t be that big of a deal, right?
“What do you know? It’s not those beasts we need to fear; the real threat is that Flame Eagle. It’s already a True Essence Realm Xuan Beast, and a king among them. In its path is a thousand miles of burning wasteland, and the flames on its body can even crack stones; Earth humans can’t possibly contend with it!”
Gu Yun rubbed his hands, wearing an expression of worry. Having finally discovered such a wondrous world, albeit much smaller compared to the Xuan Realm, he didn’t want to see this world destroyed by a single Flame Eagle.
