Outside the mountain gate of Qingyang Sect, Gu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his figure lonely and steep.
His calm gaze was cast towards the huge light shield in front of him that covered the entire mountain range - the Nine Profound Locking Heaven Array.
The light of this formation flowed, runes appeared, and it emitted a terrifying pressure that was enough to make ordinary Nascent Soul Stage experts feel palpitations.
[Ding! System prompt: The Nine Profound Locking Heaven Array has been detected ahead, with seventy-two core energy hubs. Theoretically, it can trap and kill a cultivator in the late Refining Void stage. Assessing the host's current strength, threat level: low.]
The corner of Gu Changqing's mouth curled up in an almost imperceptible arc.
Is it low?
That's good.
Behind the formation, Li Qingcang, the leader of Qingyang Sect, and several supreme elders with deep auras appeared with grim faces.
They glared at Gu Changqing across the light curtain.
"Gu Changqing!"
Li Qingcang's voice, filled with uncontrollable anger, resounded throughout the mountain gate.
"You injured our sect's prodigy, Lin Fan, for no reason, snatched away his opportunity, and now you've barged into our mountain gate alone. Do you really think that our Qingyang Sect is a soft persimmon that you can bully at will?!"
A supreme elder, his hair and beard standing on end, shouted sternly, "How arrogant of you! Today is the day you die! I, the Qingyang Sect, will make you pay for your actions in blood!"
Gu Changqing didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this.
nonsense?
He never liked it.
He slowly raised his right hand and pointed it like a sword.
In an instant, an indescribable sharp energy rose from his fingertips, as if to pierce the sky and sever the cause and effect!
[Sword Intent to Cut Off Cause and Effect]!
The sword intent, which has been integrated with the [Source Force Law] of this world, now has a bit more heaviness and domineering.
No extra words.
Gu Changqing casually slashed at the indestructible Nine Profound Locking Heaven Formation with a single sword strike!
A sword light that seemed plain and simple, but contained the power to create the world, suddenly lit up!
Wherever the sword light passed, the space seemed to be torn and twisted by an invisible force!
"boom--!!!"
A deafening roar exploded between heaven and earth!
The mountain protection formation that Qingyang Sect was so proud of, which had consumed countless resources and the efforts of several generations, was as fragile as thin paper in front of this sword light!
The solid light curtain was torn open with a shocking huge hole!
Countless mysterious runes collapsed under the sword light and turned into light spots in the sky and dissipated.
The light of the entire formation dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was on the verge of collapsing!
"What?!"
“This… How is this possible?!”
Li Qingcang, the leader of Qingyang Sect, as well as all the elders and disciples, were all horrified and their pupils shrank suddenly!
The anger and confidence on their faces were instantly replaced by endless horror and disbelief.
One sword!
Just one sword!
They broke their sect's strongest defense? !
Such terrifying swordsmanship and incredible strength were completely beyond their comprehension!
Gu Changqing looked indifferent, as if he had just done something insignificant.
He took a step forward, strolling leisurely in the garden, and slowly stepped into the mountain gate of Qingyang Sect through the huge gap in the formation.
"Stop him!"
"Form a formation! Quickly form a formation!"
After a brief moment of silence, the strong men of Qingyang Sect finally reacted and let out roars of shock and anger.
They suppressed the fear in their hearts, gritted their teeth, activated their own magic weapons and supernatural powers, and rushed towards Gu Changqing fearlessly.
A cold arc appeared at the corner of Gu Changqing's mouth.
[The Dharma of Transmutation]!
The mind moved slightly.
His figure swayed slightly, and several clones that were identical to him and also exuded a terrifying aura suddenly appeared!
Each clone possesses considerable combat power.
As soon as they appeared, they each confronted one or several elders of the Qingyang Sect, instantly blocking the opponent's offensive and engaging in a battle.
Gu Changqing's real body did not stop at all. His body was as fast as lightning and rushed straight towards the most powerful auras in the depths of Qingyang Sect!
"How dare you!"
"court death!"
At this moment, from the depths of Qingyang Sect, several old and angry roars sounded one after another!
Immediately afterwards, three terrifying auras that far surpassed those of the previous elders erupted like a dormant volcano!
Three old men with white hair and beards, with withered bodies but gleaming eyes, tore through the void and appeared in front of Gu Changqing with a power that could destroy the world, blocking his way.
These three people are none other than the old monsters who have been locked up in seclusion in Qingyang Sect for many years!
Two people who are half a step away from achieving the Dao!
One of them is actually in the early stage of Hedao!
As soon as they appeared, the sky and the earth changed color, and the terrifying pressure was like a substance, crushing down towards Gu Changqing!
Gu Changqing felt these three powerful auras, but his face remained calm, without any fear.
The [Ancient Star Body] in his body was quietly moving at this moment!
A faint layer of starlight appeared on his body, mysterious and powerful.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three old monsters attacked in anger, and three terrifying attacks that were enough to easily wipe out a strong man in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, almost at the same time, hit Gu Changqing hard!
However, a jaw-dropping scene happened!
Gu Changqing's figure remained motionless in the violent torrent of energy!
The starlight on the surface of the body flickered slightly for a few times, and then all the attacks were completely eliminated!
Unharmed!
"This...what kind of physique is this?!"
The three old monsters’ eyes almost popped out, and huge waves rose in their hearts!
[Ding! System prompt: Multiple high-value targets (Hedao realm) detected.]
[Option 1: Make an "investment" to guide them into submission, and receive a portion of their future luck back.]
[Option 2: Directly suppress/kill, which will plunder their current luck, skills, and insights, and trigger a critical hit return.]
Gu Changqing's gaze calmly swept across the three old monsters with horrified expressions on their faces, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Investment? Too slow."
He thought to himself.
"The Qingyang Sect's heritage should be more than just this, right?"
"It's time to... bring out the biggest fish."
What he wants is a one-time, generous reward!
