Chapter 196 Holy Son
This was the first time Gu Yuchuan had looked at the Holy Son so closely. In the past, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn't look directly at a Golden Core cultivator. After all, the other party was a senior. If you casually used your divine sense to scan the other party, it would definitely cause misunderstandings. If a Qi Refining cultivator used his divine sense to scan him, he would also feel uncomfortable and might even take action.
This holy son appears dignified and refined. Although his appearance is not flamboyant and is even somewhat ordinary, standing here, it is as if the laws of nature favor him. Countless spiritual energies surround him, giving him an inexplicable aura. Anyone who sees him will feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
Looking at Gu Yuchuan now, he no longer held the same haughty demeanor as before. Indeed, he had previously been the senior, and Gu Yuchuan the junior, separated by a vast difference in cultivation level. But now, they were fellow Daoists, so naturally, he couldn't continue to be so aloof.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on successfully advancing to the Golden Core realm. In this place full of geniuses, you are now among the top. From now on, your status in the demon race will be different."
Gu Yuchuan didn't presume. The other party's attitude was so good, he couldn't be cold to them, that would be too rude: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, but I don't deserve such praise. Fellow Daoist advanced earlier than me. Although I have advanced, I haven't made up for it in terms of supernatural powers, spells, or magic treasures. In fact, I don't have the complete methods of the Golden Core stage yet. Compared to you, I am still far behind."
The Holy Son did not continue to speak on this issue, but changed the subject: "Fellow Daoist, today's draw has been completed. You are facing a disciple of my Longhu Mountain. Please do not hold it against this junior."
Gu Yuchuan finally understood what was going on. He was afraid that he would kill the prodigy of Longhu Mountain like he had a few days ago. Now that he was a Golden Core cultivator, if he really had the intention to kill, it would indeed be difficult for the other party to survive.
He waved his hand and said, "Even if you hadn't come to me about this, I wouldn't have killed you. The events of the past few days had their reasons, and there are too many things involved that I can't tell you. But as you can see, I am on the path of dragon transformation, which is the righteous path. If there is no hatred, I will not act rashly."
Clearly, the Holy Son breathed a sigh of relief: "With your words of comfort, I am relieved. I wish you good luck in achieving your goal. The arena battle is about to begin, so I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."
It seems that the Holy Son's visit to get to know him was a pretense; his real purpose was to tell him not to kill the people of Longhu Mountain.
The competition began quickly. The opponent was a cultivator from Longhu Mountain. He appeared to have perfect Qi and abundant spiritual light, indicating that he was a cultivator with excellent cultivation. Advancing to the Golden Core stage was a sure thing for him, and he might even be a third-stage Golden Core cultivator. No wonder this dignified Holy Son came to find him for an ordinary disciple. It turned out that he really had good aptitude, at least much stronger than the two cultivators he had killed a few days ago.
He bowed to Gu Yuchuan with his fists clasped in greeting. Gu Yuchuan simply nodded. Now that he had advanced in rank, his status was different. He couldn't accept a Golden Core cultivator returning his greeting.
“Senior, I am Chongming from Longhu Mountain. Please enlighten me. I know that my cultivation level is like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon compared to yours, but I would also like to see how powerful you are.”
Gu Yuchuan nodded slightly, his expression calm: "Alright, since you have this intention, I will naturally grant it. Don't worry, I won't kill you. Make your move."
A whisk appeared in his hand; judging by its power, it was a top-grade spiritual artifact. Indeed, this great sect was very generous to its prodigy; the item in his hand was a top-grade spiritual artifact. Compared to the demon race, the human race certainly had much more abundant resources.
The whisk transformed into countless white chains, enveloping him completely. In an instant, it was like a cage, enveloping Gu Yuchuan. Gu Yuchuan sensed the energy; it was indeed quite powerful. No wonder he had some difficulty winning in the simulation. His opponent had also reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment stage. After returning, he should go into seclusion and cultivate properly; reaching the Golden Core stage would be a piece of cake.
However, he is different now. Although he no longer has any magical treasures, his strength has increased several times over. With a gentle wave of his hand, he sent out a drop of water, and the white cage began to freeze. He whispered "Break," and the cage in front of him shattered into pieces. Clearly, the difference in their strength was too great.
Chongming was a man who knew the rules. After his attack was dealt with so easily, he did nothing more. He bowed and paid his respects with great sincerity.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. My cultivation is indeed far inferior to yours. I concede defeat."
Gu Yuchuan advanced to the top 32 so easily. He finished quickly today, while many others hadn't even finished their matches. But he didn't stop to watch. He noticed that many people were secretly watching him, all very cautiously, which made him a little uncomfortable.
But they didn't mean any harm, nor did they use their divine sense; they just glanced at me occasionally. I couldn't get angry, that would be too petty. No wonder the Holy Son went straight back after the competition. Indeed, staying here and being stared at like that was not very comfortable.
He returned to his residence and began to ponder. According to the simulation, King Zhao was going to send someone to kill him tonight. He wondered if things would change after he advanced to the Golden Core stage. Perhaps King Zhao would find it too difficult to kill him and hold back his anger, or perhaps he would send a more powerful cultivator instead. He needed to think things through carefully.
However, Gu Yuchuan was prepared. If King Zhao dared to make a move, he would make him pay the price. Assassinating a Golden Core cultivator of the demon race was a serious crime, much more serious than killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Soon, darkness fell. As Gu Yuchuan had expected, today was very peaceful. The other party did not send anyone to kill him. After all, it was questionable whether the Golden Core Stage 1 cultivator in the simulation could even defeat him now. Even if they wanted to continue assassinating him, they would definitely have to change the person. It seems that King Zhao does not have too many Golden Core stage cultivators under his direct control.
Gu Yuchuan didn't sleep all night. Firstly, he was on high alert to prevent any incidents, and secondly, he needed to work on his magic. He hadn't fully mastered the techniques of the Golden Core stage yet, and he needed to intensify his efforts in this area.
Finally, the second day arrived. Gu Yuchuan made a decision in his heart. He couldn't wait for King Zhao to make a move. He could take the initiative to strike.
