Chapter 596: Chapter 595: Joining Forces with Ancestor Jinsha

Speaking of which, just now through the magical battle, although Gu Yuan did not go all out, Granny Mei Hua was the same, yet Gu Yuan could still gauge the opponent’s strength.

Granny Mei Hua is naturally stronger than Gu Yuan, but not by much.

This old demon’s strength lies in powerful divine techniques, with an exceptionally vigorous life force, but in terms of escape technique, physique, and divine soul, she doesn’t seem that impressive.

Of course, this is all relative.

At least for an ordinary Yang Spirit great power, Granny Mei Hua’s strength is already formidable. All aspects are not weak, making her a very difficult opponent.

Of course, any Yang Spirit great power is not to be underestimated.

Granny Mei Hua can roam the East Sea cultivation realm for years, so it won’t be that simple, she must have some special aspects or trump cards.

However, while Granny Mei Hua is not simple, Gu Yuan is not an easy target either.

Yes, Gu Yuan’s cultivation is indeed a bit low, after all, he is just a Golden Core great cultivator, and even at the Great Perfection realm, he is still a bit away from the Yin Spirit realm. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But Gu Yuan is not an ordinary Golden Core, even the rare first-grade Golden Core great cultivator cannot stir up much trouble in front of him.

With one divine technique after another, coupled with Gu Yuan’s newly forged Five Elements foundation, and the most formidable Wu Ling Xuan Tian Sword Array, Gu Yuan’s cultivation has not increased much, but it has completely solidified his foundation and strengthened his origin.

Afterwards, Gu Yuan used the Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill to strengthen his physique,

bringing him closer to the Yin Spirit realm, ready to ascend at any time.

Of course, the key point is, Gu Yuan’s current combat power far exceeds the limits of a Golden Core great cultivator.

Even if a Yin Spirit giant came, Gu Yuan could cripple the opponent with a few divine techniques.

In fact, just now, Gu Yuan had a skirmish with Granny Mei Hua.

Although Granny Mei Hua did not go all out due to some underestimation, Gu Yuan not only suffered no loss, but even gained the upper hand, making the opponent suffer a big setback.

Gu Yuan pondered that if he were to confront Granny Mei Hua directly, he would most likely be at a disadvantage.

Even if he used his Wu Ling Xuan Tian Sword Array, it would be the same.

Because the reason a Yang Spirit great power is called a Yang Spirit is because of the very term "Yang Spirit"!

Gu Yuan might be able to unleash his full power to defeat or even injure the opponent, but to kill her, that would be unlikely.

Because a Yang Spirit great power, even if their physical body is destroyed, their Yang Spirit can still escape. Trying to slay her Yang Spirit, like Gu Yuan did with those Yin Spirit giants before, seems very unlikely.

However...

Gu Yuan does have a method to effectively solve this problem. For example, he could send out an avatar, engage in a full-force magical battle with the opponent, perhaps self-detonating a magical treasure, or use great divine techniques, or even the Wu Ling Xuan Tian Sword Array to severely injure her.

Once Granny Mei Hua is severely injured, at this time Gu Yuan’s true body could strike, providing an opportunity to kill her.

As for why...

It’s simple.

Although the avatar appears to have the same strength as the true body, in reality, using the Dreamlike Illusory Flower great divine technique works well, with little difference to the true body.

However, when using Chaos Divine Thunder, the Sword Dao great divine techniques, and the Eternal Divine Escape, it noticeably falls short.

After all, true great divine techniques require mastery of rule power, and Gu Yuan’s Dreamlike Illusory Flower is merely an imitation.

Especially, Gu Yuan’s true body also possesses six lifebound flying swords, and the combined Wu Ling Xuan Tian Sword Array, the Taiyi Golden Bell, and the Creation Cyan Lotus, etc.

Even if the avatar can replicate these, it can only mimic 60-70% of their power at best.

Therefore, strictly speaking, if you count everything, Gu Yuan’s true body can fight against three avatars.

However...

Gu Yuan has not forgotten, besides Granny Mei Hua, there are also Monk Ku Zhu, Elder Chaotic Heaven, and even Jin Sha Patriarch, these Yang Spirit great powers are eyeing eagerly.

Thus, fighting desperately with Granny Mei Hua is unwise and could easily allow others to profit from their conflict.

Instead, it would be better for Gu Yuan to hide, letting these people fight to the point of both sides suffering, ideally having both Granny Mei Hua and Elder Chaotic Heaven severely injured. Then Gu Yuan could be the fisherman who catches the fish without much effort.

This would certainly be more satisfying!

Because outwardly, Gu Yuan seems to be just a Golden Core great cultivator, with no right to vie with a few Yang Spirit great powers. In reality, he has the qualification and strength to take a large share of the spoils!

Now Gu Yuan is considering that Granny Mei Hua, Elder Chaotic Heaven, and Monk Ku Zhu should have already prepared against him.

However, right now, Gu Yuan has another matter to attend to.

He needs to find Jin Sha Patriarch.

...

Soon after, Gu Yuan arrived at a deserted sea area.

Seeing that there was not a single person around, not even a flying bird, yet Gu Yuan laughed.

He looked toward an empty space and chuckled, "Since Senior Jin Sha is already here, why not show yourself?"

"You boy, you really impress me..."

Jin Sha Patriarch’s figure appeared from the empty spot, his gaze towards Gu Yuan was obviously complex, containing both surprise and sighs.

The surprise was due to Gu Yuan’s performance today, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

After all, he was well aware of Granny Mei Hua’s cultivation level and strength.

Even at his peak strength, he wouldn’t dare claim he could surpass her, let alone now when his foundation and injuries are not fully recovered, only about 60-70% of his peak strength.

Gu Yuan dared to engage Granny Mei Hua and retreated unscathed, even making her suffer a significant setback. His strength was undeniably superior.

The sigh was because Gu Yuan was only a Golden Core great cultivator, yet if Gu Yuan’s cultivation were to rise to the Yin Spirit giant realm, or even the Yang Spirit great power realm, he would practically turn the world upside down?

Of course, this also confirmed his previous suspicion that Gu Yuan is likely the reincarnated form of some Primordial Spirit True Immortal; otherwise, achieving all this would be impossible.

"Senior should have already known about me, shouldn’t be so surprised."

Gu Yuan smiled, reminding him that during their time on Qianyan Island, he had already shown some techniques, earning Jin Sha Patriarch’s respect, but at that time, he hadn’t yet achieved the Five Elements foundation nor completed the Wu Ling Xuan Tian Sword Array, thus his strength was considerably less compared to now.

What he said was actually just a jest.

Jin Sha Patriarch shook his head and sighed, "Well, I still owe you a favor, whatever you have to say, just say it."

Previously, Gu Yuan helped him escape Qianyan Island, otherwise, he would still be mining on Qianyan Island and enduring humiliation.

So, Jin Sha Patriarch admitted he owed Gu Yuan a big favor.
