Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Central Earth Sacred Land

Now, Gu Yuan already has a direction for his efforts.

With a direction, it becomes easier to know what to do next.

Of course, the Sword Intent in this sword mark on the copper cauldron is indeed important to him, but to say that Gu Yuan can achieve sublimation into a Prototype of Great Divine Techniques through it might not be so straightforward.

The ascent to a Prototype of Great Divine Techniques is not so easily achieved, especially when it requires him to elevate his own swordsmanship.

Ancestor Danxia was exceedingly surprised and impressed with Gu Yuan’s talent and enlightenment, but Gu Yuan himself was quite aware of his own talent and enlightenment.

His talent and enlightenment are indeed good, but it’s not to the extent of being a once-in-millennia prodigy.

The reason he has reached his current realm is mainly due to his Spirit Pet System.

Thanks to the Spirit Pet System, he was able to gradually transform himself, gaining outstanding talent and enlightenment, and directly acquiring those top-grade divine techniques, even Great Divine Techniques.

Therefore, Gu Yuan found that relying solely on himself to elevate his swordsmanship to a Prototype of Great Divine Techniques was very difficult, akin to advancing to a first-grade Golden Core without the Spirit Pet System!

However, with Ancestor Danxia’s help now, that is, inheriting a Sword Intent left by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, it is undoubtedly a good thing, offering him much convenience in the upcoming enlightenment and saving a considerable amount of effort.

Gu Yuan lifted the copper cauldron, tossed it into his storage pouch, then saluted and thanked Ancestor Danxia, “This disciple thanks the ancestor!”

There’s no denying that Ancestor Danxia’s help came very timely and was very useful, without which he would undoubtedly have taken many more detours.

Therefore, this favor from Ancestor Danxia must be acknowledged, and must be acknowledged!

“No problem, no problem, after all, it’s not very useful left with me, giving it to you ensures it serves its purpose.”

Ancestor Danxia was indifferent about it.

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment and couldn’t resist asking, “May I boldly ask, ancestor, whose senior left the sword mark on the copper cauldron you gave to this disciple?”

The smile on Ancestor Danxia’s face stiffened upon hearing Gu Yuan’s question, then he revealed a hint of complex expression.

After a moment of silence, he finally said, “This sword mark was left by the ancestor of the Profound Void Palace from the Central Earth Sacred Land, Profound Celestial Daoist. Thousands of years ago, while traveling the world, this senior encountered a rather tricky opponent and ultimately vanquished him.”

“This copper cauldron was cut apart at that time and later came into my possession.”

Central Earth Sacred Land Profound Void Palace…

Profound Celestial Daoist…

Gu Yuan began to ponder. He had never heard of either but clearly, they had great origins.

Since the former can be called a Sacred Land, it signifies that this sect is a legacy from the Middle or Ancient times, possessing the heritage of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal level.

For example, possessing Spirit Treasures to suppress fate and a residing Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

This kind of Sacred Land is far stronger than even a top-tier Immortal Dao sect like Medicine King Mountain.

In the entire Southern Border Cultivation Realm, there are indeed very few that can be called Sacred Lands.

What is considered a Sacred Land?

Incredibly deep heritage, capable of continuous transmission, with a constant flow of genius disciples, possessing a residing Primordial Spirit True Immortal, possessing sect-level Spirit Treasures to suppress fate, this is what is known as a Sacred Land!

As for Profound Celestial Daoist… Gu Yuan had not heard of this senior’s name, which can be blamed on his own lack of worldly knowledge.

But this person must undoubtedly be an amazing figure; there’s no doubt about it.

After all, anyone who can ascend to the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm could hardly be a simple character.

Gu Yuan thought for a while, then curiously asked, “Ancestor, have you ever visited the Central Earth?”

As for the Central Earth, Gu Yuan had only a vague impression but was somewhat informed.

Central Earth, known as a land of outstanding individuals, hosts many Sacred Lands and great sects. In comparison, the Southern Border, such as where he was, was said to be mocked by some Central Earth people as the backwaters.

“Central Earth, ah, indeed I have been there, but that was six thousand years ago.”

Ancestor Danxia revealed a reminiscing look and said, “At that time, I was still relatively young, only over two thousand years old, having just achieved the Yang Spirit Dao Fruit Realm. I presumed that in the vast world, there was nowhere I couldn’t go to, but didn’t expect…”

At this point, Ancestor Danxia sighed lightly, “Alas, Central Earth truly is a place of outstanding individuals, full of many heroes and prodigies.”

Then, Ancestor Danxia shifted the conversation and talked about some of the happenings in Central Earth, as a casual chat with Gu Yuan for a while.

Gu Yuan kept some of Ancestor Danxia’s evasiveness on certain matters in his mind, but didn’t verbalize it, instead proactively inquired about certain things, which also enriched his knowledge.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan took the opportunity to ask Ancestor Danxia for advice regarding some issues encountered in cultivation.

Such opportunities are rare, especially since Gu Yuan reached this stage, as his master He Ling True Master can hardly teach him much or provide substantial experience regarding his cultivation.

In such a circumstance, it is naturally necessary to seize the chance to solicit more guidance from Ancestor Danxia.

As a formidable Yang Spirit senior, Ancestor Danxia was more than qualified to instruct Gu Yuan.

Thus, after more than half an hour, some of Gu Yuan’s doubts were dispelled, and now he had no more inquiries about the advancement to the Golden Core.

Even issues after forming the Golden Core were mostly clear now.

Only his swordsmanship still had some confusion.

However, despite Ancestor Danxia’s high cultivation and profound expertise in the Alchemy Dao, his attainments in swordsmanship were average, even inferior to Gu Yuan.

Perhaps noticing Gu Yuan’s slight inattentiveness, Ancestor Danxia naturally shifted the topic to alchemy-related issues.

Gu Yuan’s spirits lifted, promptly asking for advice earnestly.

The Dao of Alchemy is broad and profound, and he was quite interested in the Alchemy Dao.

Regarding topics related to the Alchemy Dao, Ancestor Danxia expressed great interest.

After more than an hour of conversation, Ancestor Danxia finally, with a sense of unfinished business, said, “Never expected, young man, your talent in Alchemy skills is also quite remarkable; ah, if only you were my disciple.”

Gu Yuan also greatly benefited and smiled, “This disciple initially practiced Alchemy skills, actually in hopes of refining pills for myself, and also to assist in forming the Golden Core, which is why I learned it.”

“Hmm, indeed the Alchemy Dao is closely related to Core Formation, it’s good that you have such foresight.”

Ancestor Danxia nodded approvingly and then changed the topic, “Little Gu, I see you have excellent aptitude and talent, it’s somewhat of a waste to be He Ling’s disciple, how about taking me as your master?”

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment, “Ancestor, didn’t you already ask me this just now?”

“Did I? Did I ask you this just now?”

Ancestor Danxia frowned and then shook his head, “Seems like you didn’t agree with me earlier either, oh well, let’s just pretend I didn’t mention it.”
