Chapter 345: Drive off the Tiger, Swallow the Wolf
After handling everything, Gu Yang looked towards the direction of the Valley of Dead Souls.
Nether Sect has two sect chiefs, Yin Demon Shao Yuhong, and Yang Demon Fu Shijie.
Now, Shao Yuhong had been killed by him, but Fu Shijie was still alive and now hiding inside the valley, not daring to come out.
He had no intention of entering the Valley of Dead Souls.
The reputation of the Five Major Desolate Lands wasn’t just randomly attributed, even he wouldn’t dare to barge in recklessly, let alone, there was also a Celestial Being powerhouse inside, watching like a tiger stalking its prey.
Even if the one inside was the weakest Celestial Being in history, when combined with such an environment, it still posed a big challenge for him.
Last time in the simulation, he entered the Valley of Dead Souls intending to kill Fu Shijie, but as a result, he was ambushed and killed by him instead.
Gu Yang stood in place for a while, noticing that Fu Shijie had no intention of coming out to avenge Shao Yuhong, he lost interest and turned to say, “Take your master and leave.”
This was for Zhong Yanxing. He had sneaked back after being sent away by Zhong Zilin. He was lucky to not be affected by the Heart-catching Bell.
Just now, Zhong Zilin had been controlled by the Heart-catching Bell and was knocked unconscious on the spot by the Golden Clear Divine Ape’s tail. He still hadn’t yet regained consciousness.
Zhong Yanxing asked worriedly, “Senior, is my master alright?”
“He’ll be fine when he wakes up.”
Although the Heart-catching Bell was very powerful, Zhong Zilin’s time under its control was very short. With his cultivation level, he would wake up quickly. Only his Original Spirit would take some damage, which wasn’t a big problem.
…
Sure enough, after Gu Yang and the others flew not too far, Zhong Zilin woke up. On opening his eyes and seeing his disciple, he was first startled and then relaxed.
He felt ashamed remembering the situation when he lost control just now.
He had stayed to help but instead bogged them down, was exploited by the enemy, and almost injured Gu Yang.
After Gu Yang comforted him a few times, he parted ways with him and his disciple, and continued his journey alone.
At this time, there were still thirteen days left until the Yaochi Conference.
The battle with Nether Sect made him a huge profit of more than 3,300 energy.
Shao Yuhong, a Celestial Being, was arguably the weakest in the Celestial Being realm in history.
Her weak points were too obvious. Her strongest means of fighting back were two; one was using the Death Aura, which was effective against warriors and cultivators.
But she ran into Gu Yang. His Phoenix True Flame was the natural nemesis of Death Aura.
Her power was instantly halved.
The other was her Celestial Being corpse, but unfortunately, a corpse is just a corpse after all. No matter how much it’s refined, it can’t possibly return to its original power. If it can retain one or two percent, it is considered good.
The strongest point of these ancient cultivators is their comprehension of the Way of Heaven. First, its Original Spirit had long since dissipated, and even if it was refined into a corpse, it was impossible to restore its original magic.
Secondly, the Way of Heaven is now dead. Even if the Way of Heaven it comprehended in its lifetime still existed, it couldn’t display it in such an environment.
In reality, this Celestial Being corpse could only rely on the Death Aura and its powerful mortal body to fight against enemies.
Gu Yang had many divine beasts by his side. He had never been afraid of physical combat.
In the final analysis, the fact that he was able to kill Shao Yuhong was not because his strength was comparable to a Celestial Being, but because she was too weak.
Any Celestial Being- strength person would be able to defeat someone like her in one hit.
For example, Saint Chaoyang and Red Moon Great Saint, either one of them could easily kill her.
…
Gu Yang flew thousands of miles before stopping to sort out this time’s gains.
He obtained more than ten godly weapons from the disciples of Nether Sect, which he directly converted into energy.
The most valuable were two unique godly weapons. He had so many of such things, he didn’t bother to carry them with him and converted them into energy as well.
Next, from Shao Yuhong, he got that black copper bell.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to convert it into energy as well.
Although this thing was powerful, it had been corrupted by Death Aura for many years, and had become a demonic weapon, which gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
[Detected energy source, recharge?]
“Yes.”
[Recharge successful, gained one thousand energy points. Current balance four thousand three hundred ninety-two points.]
One thousand points, equivalent to killing a Celestial Being.
In other words, this bell should be a spirit treasure.
Gu Yang instantly thought of the few spirit treasures he had, two Nine God Tripods, and a Giant Spirit Hammer, they should be more valuable than this bell, right?
He really had the urge to convert them all into energy.
“I’ll keep them first, they might come in handy in the future.”
Gu Yang didn’t lack energy now, and quickly suppressed this impulse.
“However, those magic treasures are useless if kept.”
He had over a dozen magic treasures on hand.
It was a good thing that the Beast-taming Space could be used to store things; otherwise, carrying so many things around would be too inconvenient.
Gu Yang picked through them, in the end only keeping the wooden stick, the Guanghan Immortal Sword, and the Xuan Light Shield. The rest of the magic treasures were all turned into energy.
This time, he got another 1,500 energy points.
He had already tested it out, a Void Spirit-level magic treasure was worth fifty points, a True Form-level one hundred points, and a Phantom God-level two hundred points.
A Pure Yang-level one should be worth over four hundred points.
None of the magic treasures he converted were Pure Yang-level ones.
Now, he had a total of five thousand eight hundred ninety-two energy points. This is an unprecedented number.
Gu Yang opened the system and officially started the simulation.
He already had a preliminary idea about how to break the game, now he could use the simulator to verify whether it was feasible.
[At the age of twenty-three, you are already at the first layer of the Unleaking realm, you killed Yin Demon Shao Yuhong outside the Valley of Dead Souls, causing widespread shock.]
[You take Chu Xiyue and Su Qingzhi and go to Luo Prefecture, entering Guanghan Immortal Palace.]
[You cultivate hard in the Guanghan Immortal Palace, and after three years, leave the palace and return to Great Zhou, finding that the world outside has changed. A few days later, the Jade Dew God General appears and kills you, age twenty-six.]
So vengeful?
Gu Yang muttered to himself, feeling unlucky, it had been three whole years and that Jade Dew God General was still after him.
But, this also proved one thing, places like the Guanghan Immortal Palace, the Jade Dew God General couldn’t enter, it could only wait for him to come out then chase to kill him.
