Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 423 - 422: The Origins of the Two Sects

For Gu Yuan, this was undoubtedly a great thing.

With this Daoist Scripture, his future path of cultivation would be much brighter with unlimited prospects.

"Thank you, Master."

Gu Yuan quickly recovered and sincerely thanked Profound Origin Daoist.

"Between master and disciple, there’s no need for such formality."

Profound Origin Daoist waved his hand casually and said, "So, tell me, why did you wake me up, young man? What is the matter?"

Now that the two had formed a master-disciple relationship, Profound Origin Daoist and Gu Yuan’s fates were intertwined, sharing both misfortune and glory. Naturally, Profound Origin Daoist would not pose a threat to Gu Yuan and would find ways to help him.

Therefore, Gu Yuan did not conceal anything and directly explained why Su Qiuyue sought him out, recounting the entire matter clearly, including his own speculations without omitting anything.

Profound Origin Daoist remained calm at first, but the more he listened, the more moved he became, especially when hearing the name "Taixu Temple," he frowned slightly and showed a hint of contemplation, as if recalling something.

When Gu Yuan finished speaking, Profound Origin Daoist looked at him and, after a moment of pondering, said, "If I’m not mistaken, this woman Su Qiuyue you mentioned indeed has some connection to our sect."

"This Taixu Temple should have been founded by Taixu Zhenren, an old friend of our Spirit Gourd Island’s founder."

Before Gu Yuan could inquire, Profound Origin Daoist told him everything he knew.

It turned out that in ancient times, Spirit Gourd Island’s founder had a close friend called Taixu Zhenren, who was also a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, and they shared an inseparable bond.

Because of their good relationship, they often sat together to discuss the Dao, resulting in the Daoist Skills of both sects having considerable similarities.

Moreover, the relationship between the two sects had always been good.

However, it wasn’t until Longevity Immortal fell, and Spirit Gourd Island was destroyed by a few Primordial Spirit True Immortals, that things changed.

At that time, due to the lingering influence of the Primordial Spirit True Immortals, Taixu Temple became afraid and chose not to meddle in the matter.

By now, thousands of years have passed, and Taixu Temple likely no longer holds the same affection for Spirit Gourd Island.

The two sects used to have such a good relationship...

Gu Yuan nodded slowly, finally understanding why Su Qiuyue recognized his cultivation of the "Primordial True Water Scripture."

"This woman must have already recognized your identity, but she should not have mentioned it outside; otherwise, if the news got out and reached the East Sea, someone would surely come to kill you."

Profound Origin Daoist seriously advised.

"As for this woman, young man, you’d better be cautious. Now is no longer like before."

"Rest assured, Master, I understand."

Gu Yuan nodded. Although the two sects had deep connections in the past, now Spirit Gourd Island was destroyed, leaving only Gu Yuan as its sole survivor, while Taixu Temple’s influence remained strong.

With such disparity in strength, Taixu Temple might harbor ulterior motives. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Therefore, regarding people from Taixu Temple, Gu Yuan should be cautious.

Profound Origin Daoist initially intended to continue his slumber, but after learning about Taixu Temple, he talked to Gu Yuan about the histories between the two sects and matters of the East Sea Cultivation Realm.

Especially about his own Spirit Gourd Island’s secrets.

These secrets, under normal circumstances, were not to be shared with Gu Yuan. However, now that Spirit Gourd Island was almost entirely extinct, with Gu Yuan as its sole disciple.

Thus, some less important rules no longer needed to be followed.

The most important thing is to ensure Gu Yuan survives and achieves immortality to revive Spirit Gourd Island!

Finally, before falling back into slumber, Profound Origin Daoist solemnly instructed:

"Remember, regarding the matters of Spirit Gourd Island, and even your master’s master Longevity Immortal, don’t utter a word outside."

"Yes! I will remember it by heart!"

Gu Yuan solemnly nodded in response.

After Profound Origin Daoist returned to the Purple-Green Jade Gourd and fell into slumber, Gu Yuan sat down cross-legged to continue comprehending swordsmanship.

As for the "Primordial Azurefall Daoist Chapter" passed on to him by Profound Origin Daoist, Gu Yuan paid it no mind.

Firstly, the Daoist Scripture contains techniques starting only from the Golden Core Realm, which Gu Yuan could not cultivate yet.

Secondly, the scripture is profoundly mysterious and requires a certain amount of time to comprehend before cultivation is possible.

...

The next day, Gu Yuan left the Cave Mansion, maneuvering the escape light directly towards the mountain gate to receive Su Qiuyue.

When Gu Yuan arrived near the mountain gate, he descended from the escape light.

Near the mountain gate, there were originally two disciples guarding the area.

Both were Outer Disciples, initially murmuring to themselves, but when they saw Gu Yuan’s escape light descending, they immediately became energized and looked over.

"Wait, is that... Senior Brother Gu?!"

Seeing Gu Yuan’s face, both were visibly moved, exclaiming in surprise.

"Senior Brother Gu? Which Senior Brother Gu?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be! Of course, the most famous one!"

The two whispered for a moment, then hurriedly walked over to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Gu!"

Even though their status was as Outer Disciples, due to often guarding the mountain gate, their status was not inferior to ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.

So, usually, when encountering Servant Disciples or Outer Disciples, they would behave arrogantly, giving them the cold shoulder.

If they met Inner Sect Disciples, they would be more polite.

As for True Disciples...

The two understood perfectly well that the gap was too vast.

Especially with the recently renowned Gu Yuan, whom even other True Disciples dared not provoke, the two had no other thoughts and respectfully came forward to greet him without any neglect.

Currently, among the Outer and Inner Disciples, there was a saying.

This Senior Brother Gu, Gu Yuan, possesses exceptional talent in his generation and is extremely murderous; there are no less than five Golden Core Great Cultivators who have died beneath his sword, not to mention other cultivators and demons.

At Medicine King Mountain, it’s preferable to offend an Elder or even other True Disciples, but never provoke this Senior Brother Gu.

Offending others might leave a slim chance of survival, but offending Gu Yuan might lead to him arriving that very day with a flying sword to take your head.

"No need for formality, fellow junior brothers."

Contrary to their expectations, Gu Yuan’s demeanor was not as the rumors suggested, cold and domineering. Instead, he was quite amiable, speaking warmly and courteously.

With a gentle smile, he engaged in casual conversation, with no hint of arrogance, which gradually eased both disciples’ nerves.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan even patted the two on the shoulder and took out two bottles of Spirit Pills to give to them.

This made the two Outer Disciples feel surprisingly honored, becoming quite excited as they held the elixir bottles and repeatedly thanked Gu Yuan.

Truthfully, most Inner and True Disciples, as well as numerous Stewards and Elders, seldom regarded Outer Disciples as people. They often issued commands high-handedly, whereas Gu Yuan was courteous and considerate, quite unlike others.
