Chapter 601

Gu Chen left the tavern and returned to his residence in the Bluecloud Villa.

As soon as he entered his room, his face turned cold, and his pupils turned purple.

Then, under the watchful eyes of White Ape, he reached out and grabbed a wisp of invisible Qi from his shoulder.

"Heaven's Path zhenqi … Zuo Chunqiu and Xiao Jing are indeed jackals of the same tribe.

Both of them are up to no good, "muttered Gu Chen. He closed his eyes and sensed the strange Qi in his palm.

Back on the Immortal Island of Penglai, Xiao Jing had schemed against him and left a wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi in his body.

Because of that wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi, he could not hide his whereabouts, and he was hunted down everywhere.

It was only when Cousin Lian Yue appeared and easily wiped away the Heaven's Path zhenqi in his body that he learned of the existence of the Tiandao Sect's secret art.

After suffering such a loss, how could Gu Chen not pay attention to it when dealing with people from Tiandao Sect?

Tonight, Zuo Chunqiu seemed to be very generous to him and did not mind his rejection, but before he left, he secretly released a wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi and wrapped it around him.

If Gu Chen had broken his Overlord Bone, even Xiao Jing's shallow Heaven's Path zhenqi would not have been able to detect it, let alone an expert like Zuo Chunqiu.

However, things were different now. He now had three Overlord Bones, and the Heavenly Overlord Bone rejected the Heaven's Path zhenqi. When a wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi appeared on him, he was immediately alerted.

Zuo Chunqiu had a dagger in his smile, and he had schemed against him. This made Gu Chen's good impression of him vanish into thin air.

Zuo Chunqiu was nothing more than a hypocrite. If he did not detect this wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi, who knew what would have happened.

According to Cousin Lian Yue, this Heaven's Path zhenqi could affect one's luck and manipulate one's fate. Zuo Chunqiu was really evil.

"This Heaven's Path zhenqi is a little interesting. The heritage of Tiandao Sect is very special."

Gu Chen enveloped the Heaven's Path zhenqi with his divine sense, and with a thought, the Eternal Freedom Avatar appeared behind him.

He controlled the avatar to wrap the wisp of Heaven's Path zhenqi and secretly studied the orthodoxy of Tiandao Sect.

The reason why the Tiandao Sect was able to maintain its ranking in the top three among the 68 Immortal Sects was largely due to their orthodoxy.

They called themselves the incarnations of the Heavenly Axiom and wanted to punish on behalf of the Heavens. Their starting point of cultivation and ambition were much higher than others.

Regardless of whether it was the Heaven's Path zhenqi or the 94 Great Dao of Derivation that Gu Chen had come into contact with, they were both amazing ultimate techniques in his eyes. Now that Zuo Chunqiu had "gifted" him a strand of Heaven's Path zhenqi, he couldn't help but think about it.

It was impossible for Zuo Chunqiu to obtain his Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist, but it wasn't impossible for him to master the Tiandao Sect's ultimate technique …

With such a thought in mind, Gu Chen's lips curled up. He controlled his Dharma Idol to analyze the Heaven's Path zhenqi, hoping to unravel its essence so that he could imitate, learn, and eventually master it.

The next morning, Gu Chen realized that the Heaven's Path zhenqi was related to the laws of destiny and the order of the heavens. It was a profound concept, but it was also extremely difficult to comprehend.

With just a strand of Heaven's Path zhenqi, it was difficult for him to secretly learn the complete ultimate technique of the Tiandao Sect. However, he was still able to gain something from it.

After studying the Heaven's Path zhenqi, Gu Chen felt extremely fatigued. After resting for a while, he picked up the 《Gu Feeding Technique》 that he had just obtained yesterday.

He began to study the method to control the insects.

In the next few days, other than the occasional strolls at the market with Gu Ziyan and the others, Gu Chen spent most of his time in his room, studying the 《Gu Feeding Technique》 and the Heaven's Path zhenqi.

With his high level of comprehension, he was able to make some progress in the 《Gu Feeding Technique》, and he managed to learn the method to control the hundred thousand insects in his Cosmos Sack.

As for the Heaven's Path zhenqi, he was able to imitate a strand of it using the Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol's ability to constantly evolve. However, without the corresponding ultimate technique, it wasn't of much use.

If the people of the Tiandao Sect were to learn of this, they would definitely be shocked. One must know that the Heaven's Path zhenqi was extremely difficult to cultivate, and there weren't many disciples in the Tiandao Sect who were able to do so.

Yet, Gu Chen was able to deduce it in reverse and successfully cultivate it just by relying on a strand of it that Zuo Chunqiu had placed on him. It was truly terrifying.

To Gu Chen, the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly was relatively uneventful. It was just a change of location to cultivate. However, in the few days before the Grand Assembly officially began, the Bi Xia Villa had long been in an uproar because of an incident.

The thirteen top-notch sects that represented the seven major domains of the Fairy Spirits, as well as the top-notch ancient aristocratic family, the Gu Clan, as well as some other major forces, had all encountered mysterious attacks in the past half a month!

The attacker came and went without a trace. When he made his move, he would definitely leave behind a huge palm print and a strange mark.

He came and went freely in front of the top-notch experts of the continent. His provocation had caused a huge commotion.

Originally, the higher-ups of the various sects had wanted to keep this matter under wraps. However, the commotion was too big, and it was impossible to keep it under wraps. For a moment, all the cultivators who were participating in the Grand Assembly were discussing enthusiastically. Who exactly was this mysterious person, and what was his motive?

The other party didn't harm or take anyone's life. He only walked around in a circle under the eyes of the supreme experts of the major forces, as if he was announcing his existence.

He had succeeded, and became the hottest topic of the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly. Because of his existence, the leaders of the major forces had discussed many times in secret.

Very soon, the analysis of his origins came to a conclusion. An elder who was proficient in ancient culture found out the origin of the mark that the other party left behind every time he made a move.

The mark was the word "Wu", which was a character from the ancient times of the Cang Huang Ancient Star. Nowadays, this word could hardly be seen anymore.

What did the other party mean by the word "Wu"?

Wu was his surname, the symbol of the force behind him, or did it have some special meaning?

Very soon, this news spread among the various forces, and the speculations about the other party's origins became divergent.

Some people said that the other party was the inheritor of the long-lost ancient martial arts. He attacked the major forces because he wanted to challenge the Immortal Dao and prove that the Martial Dao still existed.

This speculation was tacitly agreed upon by most people. After analyzing the palm prints that the other party left behind, the major forces were shocked to find that the other party had only used his physical body to attack, and did not use any magic.

This strongly proved that the other party was proficient in the Martial Dao, and it was possible that he was the inheritor of the Ancient Martial Dao!

The so-called Ancient Martial Dao had long been lost in the Cang Huang Ancient Star. It was similar to the Body Cultivation Lineage, which was a combination of the Ancient Martial Dao and the Immortal Dao. It was far less demanding than the Ancient Martial Dao, which specialized in the cultivation of the body.

It was said that such an orthodoxy was once famous in the ancient times, and the Ancient Martial Dao was once the focus of attention.

Now that the Ancient Martial Dao had been revived, countless cultivators were excited and looked forward to the appearance of the mysterious person at the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly.

As for the rumors that were circulating in the streets, the higher-ups of the major forces, especially the 68 Immortal Sects, scoffed.

Not to mention that the Ancient Martial Dao had long been extinct in this era, even in the ancient times when it was in its heyday, it was just a small cultivation method.
