Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

"So, Brother Chu is a Body Cultivator..."

Xu Haoran quickly regained his composure, revealing a look of understanding.

Gu Yuan’s appetite was extraordinary; such a situation was unlike that of a typical Immortal Cultivator. Only a Body Cultivator with a strong physique could consume so much food.

However, cultivators who can practice both body cultivation and other systems are rare. Yet if they achieve something, they are bound to be extraordinary, generally being those with powerful combat abilities, vast divine techniques, and superior methods.

Thus, it was no wonder that he couldn’t discern the depths of Gu Yuan earlier.

Xu Haoran immediately figured out some things.

However...

He had seen cultivators practicing body cultivation alongside other systems before.

Not mentioning others, just in the East Sea, there were some Great Demons on the sea with vast divine techniques and strong physiques. Likewise, even Luofu Immortal Island had similar existences.

These people were strong, indeed, but none were like Gu Yuan, giving him a sense of mystery, profoundness, and being impossible to see through.

"Brother Xu has eyes like torches..."

Gu Yuan smiled, not surprised that Xu Haoran could discern it.

He never intended to hide much, at least not too deeply.

Sometimes, demonstrating a certain level of strength can often avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Especially now, as he was in Luofu Immortal City, being targeted by people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace wanting to tread on him like a whetstone, it was even less necessary.

Moreover, he couldn’t hide even if he wanted to, because by next month, once he confronts Gu Xuanfeng on the Life and Death Platform, it will inevitably be a matter of life or death.

Gu Yuan didn’t want to be easily picked on, so he had to showcase powerful strength!

After deliberately gathering information these past few days and watching multiple magical battles on the Life and Death Platform, Gu Yuan figured it out. Compared to the Southern Border Cultivation Realm, the magical battle traditions in the East Sea Cultivation Realm appeared to be more prevalent.

Therefore, when it comes to the magical battle with Gu Xuanfeng, he absolutely must not hold back. Not only must he not hold back, but he must also make a killing move. Only thus can he deter those with ulterior motives.

Of course, by doing so, he would thoroughly offend Yuqiao Immortal Palace. But Gu Yuan didn’t care, for now he and Yuqiao Immortal Palace had already formed a great enmity, even if by then he shows mercy, the other party would not appreciate it, perhaps even thinking he’s easy to bully.

Since he was already offending them anyway, it might as well be thorough.

"I am well content, having overeaten, thanks to Brother Xu’s hospitality. So now... should you talk about serious matters?"

Gu Yuan looked at Xu Haoran, straightforwardly.

Xu Haoran nodded and said, "Naturally."

He pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking about where to start, then said, "As far as I know, Brother Chu is set to have a magical battle on the Life and Death Platform with Gu Xuanfeng from Yuqiao Immortal Palace on the thirteenth of next month, right?"

"Brother Xu is well-informed, indeed."

Gu Yuan did not deny it and was not surprised that the other party knew about it.

After all, it was an affair occurring on Luofu Immortal Island’s own turf, how could anything escape Luofu Immortal Island.

Moreover, the matter of the magical battle on the Life and Death Platform was surely being secretly pushed by Yuqiao Immortal Palace, for it was evident that Yuqiao Immortal Palace wanted to regain its footing.

"Indeed."

Xu Haoran nodded and then reminded, "From what I heard, half a year ago, Gu Xuanfeng just cultivated a quite rare divine technique. Although this matter is hidden, I happen to know it’s a divine technique specially targeting the cultivator’s Divine Soul. So, when the time comes for the magical battle on the Life and Death Platform, Brother Chu should be careful."

"A divine technique targeting the Divine Soul?"

Gu Yuan was stunned by this, then nodded in realization.

Such techniques were not uncommon, but cultivating them was often very difficult, and they had strict requirements on the cultivator himself, so the number of practitioners wasn’t many.

Moreover, those who cultivated such techniques were usually Buddhist Sect cultivators and Demonic Cultivators. In contrast, Daoist cultivators practiced them less.

For instance, the Meng Yanzi he encountered before, whose Lifebound Demon — the Nightmare Demon — consisted of several divine techniques targeting the Divine Soul.

Even Gu Yuan himself, his Divine Technique of Dream Mirage actually counts as half a Divine Soul divine technique.

Because this prototype of Great Divine Techniques, besides being able to condense avatars, could also alter his appearance, change body shape, and perform various illusion-like mystical means.

Even...

Gu Yuan could enter others’ Dream Realm using this prototype, injuring or killing them invisibly within their sleep.

However, Gu Yuan had never used such means.

Mainly because he disdained bullying the weak, even when encountering enemies, he could send them to the West Heaven with a casual sword, why bother with such troubles?

As for those stronger than him...

Either their strength was comparable at best, or too strong, making such means ineffective.

Therefore, Gu Yuan’s prototype of Great Divine Techniques mainly functions for condensing avatars, altering appearances.

As for the Divine Soul divine technique Gu Xuanfeng cultivated, though he didn’t know specifically which one, Gu Yuan hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Because his own Divine Soul was inherently special, possessing a hint of Yin Spirit’s essence even before forming the Golden Core, much stronger than cultivators of the same level.

And now, after forging the Immortal Golden Core, his Divine Soul’s essence enhanced further, almost attaining some physical form.

If not carefully examined, it’s hard to tell his Divine Soul was still an ethereal existence.

It can be said that with such a strong essence Divine Soul, coupled with the defense of the prototype of Great Divine Techniques, even if he let Gu Xuanfeng attack, the opponent could hardly harm him.

Moreover, Gu Yuan’s Taiyi Golden Bell also can defend against Divine Soul attacks and possesses capabilities to attack the Divine Soul.

Taiyi Golden Bell had just been promoted to a Magical Treasure, with five Celestial Spirit Restrictions engraved, so its power was naturally immense!

Not mentioning Gu Xuanfeng, even if faced with a Yin Spirit Giant, intended to attack him, while Gu Yuan has apprehensions, he absolutely has enough power to counter!

Thus, Xu Haoran’s reminder is worth noting to Gu Yuan, but...

Gu Yuan’s current concern lay elsewhere.

There’s never an unwarranted favor in this world; Gu Yuan and Xu Haoran had no relation, hadn’t even met before, so why would the other party take the initiative to warn him?

As if knowing Gu Yuan’s mind, Xu Haoran explained, "Truth be told, Brother Chu, I do have some past grievances with Gu Xuanqing from Yuqiao Immortal Palace."

"At that time, though I hadn’t yet achieved Core Formation, the other party had already made it onto the Dragon List, hence, due to certain reasons, I suffered a secret loss and paid a price. This affair can be easily known if Brother Chu inquires."

"I reminded you because I hope Brother Chu won’t suffer at Gu Xuanfeng’s hands."
