Chapter 359: Chapter 284: Boundary Demon Refining Seal, Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd!
White Bone Secret Realm, the eerie fog dissipates.
Before the grand hall, it was a scene of desolation; the ground was covered in charred marks and craters.
A young man with disheveled hair, his whole body scorched black, lay feebly on the ground, his breath weak.
Opposite him, a Daoist with a graceful and refined demeanor stood tall, hands clasped behind his back, and smiled at him.
Gu Yuan and Zuo Tianlun had each unleashed a thunder technique of unmatched power, holding nothing back.
In the end, Gu Yuan was unharmed, while Zuo Tianlun suffered serious injuries, transformed into a demon, losing the strength to continue.
The victor became clear!
Yet Zuo Tianlun found it hard to accept.
He could bear defeat, but not such humiliating and disgraceful defeat!
"Did you escape death once?"
"Your Golden Seal is a death substitute seal?"
Thankfully, Gu Yuan offered an explanation, causing Zuo Tianlun’s heart and spirit to stir, urging him to ask further.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, the outcome is decided, does our agreement still stand?"
But Gu Yuan offered no further explanation, just smiled warmly at Zuo Tianlun.
In his heart, Zuo Tianlun felt intense unwillingness, both from the frustration of losing to Gu Yuan and the regret of losing treasures.
If he’d known this earlier, teaming up with that witch would have been better!
Gu Yuan had only formed the Golden Core for several decades; how could he have so many methods?
Upper-class Sword Pill, Sound Dao Ancient Seal, powerful Thunder Technique, and the death substitute seal, each one a profound mystery of Dharma Seals, yet this person could fully master them all!
"I..."
Zuo Tianlun’s heart was unwilling; he wanted to speak, but suddenly he met Gu Yuan’s deep eyes.
In those eyes, cold light shot out, carrying an unrefusable chill.
Zuo Tianlun shivered internally, forcing back the words he was about to say.
Gu Yuan was unharmed, his mana flowing smoothly, while Zuo Tianlun was heavily injured, many Dharma Seals hard to activate again; any slight violation of the agreement would likely lead to instant obliteration!
Zuo Tianlun’s expression turned grim, he said nothing, forcibly gathered his mana, initiated his Escape Light, and slowly flew towards the exit of the Secret Realm.
But just as he was about to leave the Secret Realm, he couldn’t swallow his discontent, turning back to shout:
"Gu Yuan, a hundred years from now, I will visit the Cyan Peak Daoist School again, then we’ll have another magical combat!"
Having said that, he activated his Escape Light and swiftly left the place.
For a moment, the entire Secret Realm was silent, leaving only Gu Yuan.
He looked at the treasures wrapped in mana hovering in the air, and finally smiled.
Without using the final Dragon Transformation Card, he acquired the treasures of the Secret Realm, achieving a great victory!
With these treasures, his strength would surely advance greatly!
Zuo Tianlun’s hundred-year promise didn’t concern him in the least.
In cultivation, to be one step ahead is to stay ahead; with these treasures in hand, along with Stone Liquid, how could he fall behind Zuo Tianlun?
Between the two of them, this would probably be the last magical combat where their strength was so evenly matched.
"Oh, such wonderful things!"
Gu Yuan’s Divine Thought surged out, examining the treasures in the air, instantly discovering a treasure apart from those three whose brilliance reached the heavens.
It was a token made of white bone, with a skull pattern on each side, engraved with Void Restriction, exuding an unusual charm.
Gu Yuan immediately recognized it as the Township Order of the Secret Realm.
Every Secret Realm is a special small world, only by using spatial methods for teleportation can it connect to the Four Domains Great World.
This is also why opening a Secret Realm requires an identification token; these tokens are the anchor points connecting the Secret Realm.
The void is vast, without anchor points, unless one’s realm is extremely high, there is no way to find the location of the Secret Realm.
Generally, these anchor points are fixed, and the location for entry and exit doesn’t change.
For example, the Red Mist Secret Realm is atop the Chiya Mountain Range, and entry and exit are here.
Previously, the White Bone Secret Realm’s entry and exit were also in the nameless valley of the Celestial Trace Mountain Range.
But there is a method to change the anchor point.
That is by refining the Secret Realm and forging a Township Order.
With this Township Order, the anchor point can be subtly shifted to any area within thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, with the Township Order, no one other than the Token Master can enter or exit the Secret Realm, making it like a private property.
All restrictions within the Secret Realm are also controlled by the Township Order.
However, since the Secret Realm floats in the void, without an anchor point it cannot be entered, hidden to the utmost, so the Township Order is not essential, and most Masters of Secret Realms do not forge one.
After all, the creation of such an order is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extravagantly costly.
Gu Yuan didn’t expect that this Master of the White Bone Secret Realm had actually forged one.
"In this way, no need to hurry away from this place..."
Gu Yuan waved his hand, drawing the token into his palm, thinking to himself.
Originally, according to his plan, he was going to gather the treasures and leave quickly, returning to the Daoist School.
After all, having antagonized the Qingyang Temple witch, who knew what repercussions might follow; returning to the Daoist School was a more secure choice.
But now, with the Township Order, anywhere in the Celestial Trace Mountain Range could be his anchor point; he could leave the Secret Realm from anywhere, greatly increasing security and secrecy.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan strode forward towards the towering White Bone Hall ahead of him.
Behind him, numerous treasures enveloped by mana, like being dragged by an invisible net, followed him.
The grand hall was already empty; all treasures had been swept out by the witch from Qingyang Temple, not even leaving incense candle, altar, or futon furnace, now only white bone pillars propped up a lofty hall, appearing vacant and empty.
