Chapter 597: Chapter 596: Ancestor Tiecheng!

Moreover, he knew very well that Gu Yuan wouldn’t visit for no reason; there must be some ideas brewing. Since that was the case, he might as well bring it up directly.

When it comes to favors, they must be repaid. Otherwise, holding it in one’s heart would be uncomfortable.

To be honest, he always maintained a cautious attitude toward Gu Yuan because he could never figure out Gu Yuan’s background.

However, after seeing Gu Yuan’s methods today, he was... even more perplexed.

Because the techniques Gu Yuan displayed were the Five Elements Divine Techniques and the overwhelmingly powerful Sword Dao.

Yet, in the East Sea, he had never heard of anyone proficient in both of these Dao at the same time.

Judging by the imposing manner when Gu Yuan exhibited them, he was definitely a veteran in this art.

Could it be that this kid came from Central Earth?

Jinsha Ancestor speculated secretly.

The East Sea Cultivation Realm was vast, but if any formidable figure were to emerge, it’s impossible he would hear nothing about it.

So this was the only possibility left, that Gu Yuan came from Central Earth...

However... in fact, Jinsha Ancestor guessed only half or a third correctly.

Gu Yuan indeed came from outside of the East Sea Cultivation Realm, but he was not from Central Earth; he came from the Southern Border. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Moreover, he was not some reincarnated Primordial Spirit True Immortal; he started cultivation from the basics as a genuine rookie.

Even though he only had an additional beast-control system, that’s all... most of what he achieved now was due to his own efforts!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled: "Very well, since the senior speaks so straightforwardly, I will be frank as well."

"To be honest, I do have something that requires the senior’s assistance. I intend to form an alliance with you!"

"Oh? Form an alliance?!"

Jinsha Ancestor’s eyes flashed with brilliance, subtly guessing something.

"In fact, I also have some enmity with Elder Chaotic Heaven, so in this regard, you and I share the same goal,"

Gu Yuan didn’t waste any words and directly stated his purpose: "So, once the time is right, you and I will join forces to slay Elder Chaotic Heaven!"

Join forces...

Jinsha Ancestor’s eyes shone brightly, looking at Gu Yuan, who did not avoid the gaze but instead met it directly.

After a moment of eye contact, Jinsha Ancestor suddenly curled his lips and showed a slight smile: "Alright, I can agree with you, but my young friend... would you say this counts as repaying your favor?"

Gu Yuan nodded as expected: "Of course, but the senior must tell me some information about Granny Mei Hua."

When it comes to Granny Mei Hua, this Great Demon, Gu Yuan was genuinely interested. Of course, his interest lay in her true form, that peculiar inky plum spirit root.

If he were to slay it, not only might his Creation Cyan Lotus gain enough resource for transformation, but he himself could also gain many benefits.

For instance, his cultivation could benefit from the feedback of the Creation Cyan Lotus, leading naturally to a breakthrough into the Yin Spirit Realm.

Because Gu Yuan’s foundation was sufficient, and he was well aware of how to forge the Yin Spirit from the pill, as well as the path beyond Yin Spirit.

In addition to this, there could be considerable benefits in other aspects as well.

However, if he wanted to scheme against this Great Demon, Gu Yuan needed to understand her thoroughly in advance and mustn’t act carelessly.

As a seasoned Yang Spirit powerhouse in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, Jinsha Ancestor certainly knew a lot about figures like Granny Mei Hua, so it was necessary to inquire about her.

Granny Mei Hua... so the kid’s target is Granny Mei Hua...

Upon hearing Gu Yuan’s words, Jinsha Ancestor immediately understood who Gu Yuan’s real target was. However, he just nodded, without asking further questions or refusing, merely saying: "Alright."

Regardless, he owed Gu Yuan a favor, and dealing with Elder Chaotic Heaven was a common goal for both of them...

As for Granny Mei Hua, as a member of the Human Race, Jinsha Ancestor didn’t have a good impression of Granny Mei Hua from the beginning, especially since this fellow, even if not extremely evil, had committed various misdeeds, causing disturbances and showing latent hostility towards the Human Race.

So, Gu Yuan dealing with this old demon was something he had no issues with; in fact, he would welcome it with open arms.

"This scoundrel Granny Mei Hua, is an anomalous ink plum that attained Dao. It’s said that her scripture originated from a Daoist Scripture Technique called the ’Yi Wood Dao Scripture.’ Later, this old hag secretly plundered some texts from a destitute sect, integrating them into her own cultivation technique, thereby demonstrating considerable talent in the Wood Element..."

Jinsha Ancestor thought for a moment and disclosed all the information he had, without hiding anything: "However... no matter how talented she is, this old woman’s talent isn’t the level of terrifying that would overshadow an era. Her foundation is somewhat shaky, and when she advanced to the Yang Spirit, she was too eager for success, so it is said that achieving the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm is almost impossible for her."

"And for this reason, she came to this Iron Cloud Island, hoping to find Elder Chaotic Heaven to see if he could solve this issue."

"Oh? Looking for Elder Chaotic Heaven?"

Gu Yuan was puzzled and directly asked: "Could it be Elder Chaotic Heaven has such techniques to mend one’s foundation? If I am not mistaken, these techniques are extremely rare, often being the top-tier secret techniques within the major Sacred Lands and influences, correct?"

"Heh... naturally."

Jinsha Ancestor smirked slightly, with a hint of disdain on his face: "Elder Chaotic Heaven himself is nothing special, but his senior brother is the renowned Iron Fortress Ancestor of the East Sea Cultivation Realm, who is rumored to be the Supreme Elder of the Western Demon Sect and now a Primordial Spirit True Immortal."

"And within the Demon Dao, there are always bizarre techniques. Though methods to mend the foundation are few, Elder Chaotic Heaven still possesses some..."

Western Demon Sect’s Supreme Elder... Iron Fortress Ancestor... Primordial Spirit True Immortal...

Gu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, becoming unusually solemn.

The Western Demon Sect, as its name suggests, is located in the farwestern territories of the Western Regions, a major sect of demonic cultivation. The environment there is extremely harsh and full of violent demons, with an unstable aura of ferocity.

Ordinary cultivators staying in such a place for an extended period are often assaulted by this fierce aura, damaging their foundation, resulting in either the wastage of cultivation or the need to switch paths, choosing the Demon Dao initiated through turbid energy.

Therefore, it is a paradise for demon cultivators. Demon cultivators often schemed against each other, indulging in slaughter, following the raw, survival-of-the-fittest principle of natural selection.

All those who survive there are the elite among them.

It is evident that the Supreme Elder of the Western Demon Sect would be an immensely formidable figure,

When it concerns a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, Gu Yuan had to pay attention. But the question remained, what exactly was the relationship between Elder Chaotic Heaven and the Iron Fortress Ancestor?

This time, would the Iron Fortress Ancestor appear and intervene?

If the Iron Fortress Ancestor didn’t intervene, it would be fine; but if he did, then it would be troublesome.

No matter how many additional Yang Spirit experts arrived, they might still not be able to handle Elder Chaotic Heaven.
