The moment Gu Changqing touched the void gate, a powerful aura enveloped him, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Changqing found himself in a forest.
Gu Changqing looked around and released his divine sense. After searching, he found no other cultivators, only a large number of demonic beasts.
"Presumably, the other sects are also randomly distributed in this secret realm, just like me."
Various trees, some thousands of feet tall, stood around Gu Changqing. There was no sun in the sky, only streaks of light flashing continuously. The ground also changed colors with the light, and all sorts of strange and unusual plants were scattered among the trees.
Gu Changqing tried to activate the storage ring but found that he could not open it. "It seems that the ring is also imprisoned in this secret realm."
The token at his waist recorded the remaining cultivators in the secret realm, so Gu Changqing randomly chose a direction where demonic beasts were gathered.
To avoid consuming too much spiritual energy, Gu Changqing did not choose to fly above the trees, which also prevented him from being exposed.
After passing through patches of weeds, a group of about thirty demonic beasts appeared in Gu Changqing's eyes.
Looking at the beast that resembled a bull but had the body of an elephant, Gu Changqing took out the Soul-Severing Blade from his body and looked at the group of beasts that only had the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
At this moment, the group of demonic beasts did not notice Gu Changqing hiding in the shadows; they were either lying on the ground or leisurely eating weeds.
Gu Changqing raised his hand and swung his sword. It seemed like a weak attack, but the sword energy flying towards the demon beast contained enormous energy and momentum.
The group of demonic beasts also sensed the power of the sword energy and began to flee in panic, but they were merely Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts.
In an instant, the sword energy flew towards them and exploded. A strong spiritual energy spread out from among the demonic beasts. The demonic beasts that were close by were instantly turned to ashes by the spiritual energy, while those that were a little further away were also splattered with blood and flesh.
With just one sword strike, the entire group of demonic beasts was annihilated.
Gu Changqing glanced at the 36 extra points on the token at his waist, then ignored the monster corpses and headed straight for the next location.
Just as they were heading towards the next group of demonic beasts, a cultivator appeared in Gu Changqing's divine sense. According to his divine sense, the direction of that person was exactly where he was.
"Since I can sense him, he must know me too."
Gu Changqing then quickly ran towards the cultivator's location.
And so, the two figures quickly met on the other side. Gu Changqing looked at the unremarkable person before him and said calmly:
"We meet again."
Upon seeing that it was Gu Changqing, the figure took a step back and adopted a defensive stance.
Seeing that the man remained silent, merely holding the Soul-Severing Sword in his hand, Gu Changqing then slashed downwards with his sword before speaking:
"Little Stone, the ring cannot be opened here, and your array artifact is now useless."
The little stone, looking at the sword energy coming towards him, didn't bother to answer.
He quickly raised his right hand, and a complex array flowed in his palm as the sword light approached.
Little Stone caught the sword energy with his palm, and the moment the two collided, a violent explosion erupted in front of Little Stone.
A thick cloud of smoke billowed from the location of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, Little Stone was unharmed. The array in his palm had enlarged to the size of his body, blocking Gu Changqing's sword energy.
The little stone behind the array looked at Gu Changqing and answered his words expressionlessly.
“There are visible arrays and invisible arrays. Visible arrays are those inscribed with Daoist talismans and erected on the ground. Invisible arrays are those formed by the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, water, fire, and the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. All things and phenomena can be used as arrays.”
Gu Changting smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:
"Then let's try your invisible formation."
He then rushed towards the small stone, and the Soul Severing Hand in his hand emitted a purple light, causing the surrounding space to ripple.
The sound of what seemed like a demon's cry came from the broken soul. Little Stone, seeing the resentful broken soul in Gu Changqing's hand, instinctively took a step back.
As the Soul-Severing Slash approached, the array in Little Stone's palm shifted, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and a golden halo rose from beneath his feet, shielding Gu Changqing and his Soul-Severing Slash in front of him.
The surrounding spiritual energy spread out with the collision. Gu Changqing looked at the small stone in the circle of light in front of him and silently slashed at Duanhun. After a violent collision, Gu Changqing retreated to his original position.
Seeing that the array diagram remained completely still, Gu Changqing knew that he could not defeat this person this time, so he placed Duanhun in the air and then made a series of mysterious hand gestures.
The Soul-Severing Phenomenon in the air also burst forth with a burst of black light, flying straight towards the small stone within the formation.
Little Stone watched as the Soul-Severing Blade flew towards him like a vengeful ghost. Expressionless, he quickly slammed his palm on the ground, and array diagrams appeared in front of him.
Various exquisite runes flowed across the array diagrams, while the spiritual energy around the diagrams surged into them, circulating along with the runes.
Meanwhile, the Soul Severance broke through all the way, and various rune fragments dissipated under the Soul Severance along with the spiritual energy within them, until it pierced into the last defensive array in front of Little Stone. As cracks appeared in the array, a shattering sound entered Little Stone's ears, and the Soul Severance pierced straight towards his head.
Looking at the Soul Severance so close to him, Little Stone remained expressionless. Just as the Soul Severance was about to pierce Little Stone, a dark red array was activated from the jade pendant at his waist.
