Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Shangjing City.

High in the sky,

His robes fluttered, his hair was stark white.

Chu Yin, who possessed the ethereal air of a celestial sage, looked at the young Cultivator before him and spoke slowly. The youth was dressed in a white Profound Robe, with a handsome face and profound eyes.

"Young friend, are you preparing to leave?"

Gu Yun gave a slight nod.

A look of gratitude appeared on his face,

and he cupped his fists, saying,

"Thank you for everything, Senior.

If ever you have need of me in the future,

I will surely lend my aid!"

Hearing this, Chu Yin let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, you're too kind, young friend.

We are all in the same boat, after all.

Since you are returning to the Sect, could you do me a favor and say hello to that Old Ghost Jiang of Celestial Wood Dao Peak? And please return this token to him."

As he spoke, Chu Yin waved his hand, producing an ancient token engraved with a profound Wood Seal, and passed it to Gu Yun.

"As you wish, Senior.

It's no problem at all."

Gu Yun nodded.

The Old Ghost Jiang Chu Yin mentioned was Jiang Tingbai, the Peak Master of Celestial Wood Dao Peak.

"Senior,

farewell!"

Gu Yun said his final words to Chu Yin.

He then stepped onto the void, creating layers of ripples like disturbed water.

His figure transformed into a streak of lightning, hurtling toward the horizon!

'Another monstrous prodigy...'

A corner of Chu Yin's robe lifted without a breeze as his white hair drifted.

His profound gaze followed the direction of Gu Yun's departure as he mused to himself.

...

「In a certain mountain range.」

Endless mountains stretched out, rising and falling like a sea of colossal waves.

Atop the magnificent Nu Tao Mountain Range grew a verdant expanse of giant, ancient trees that covered every peak and valley.

From a distance, it looked like a vast, emerald ocean of forests.

Above this immense forest of ancient trees,

a figure flashed past, moving as fast as lightning.

Gu Yun was on his way back to the Sect.

Just then, a thought seemed to strike him,

and a trace of sorrow surfaced in his eyes.

It was because his junior brother, Li Xingyue, had been struck by Jiang Qingfeng's Star Palm Seal on that fateful day.

Without a Physique as powerful as his,

Li Xingyue had been unable to withstand it. He was obliterated instantly, not even ashes remaining!

At this thought,

an inexplicable rage surged within Gu Yun's heart. The sorrow in his eyes instantly transformed into boundless fury!

"Jiang Qingfeng!!

I will fucking kill you!!!"

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Gu Yun's wrath-filled gaze shot forward.

Ahead, several streaks of light, like shooting stars, cut across the sky.

"Lin Zhuangyuan, where the hell do you think you're running?!?"

Three figures in identical black uniforms with white lotuses on their chests were chasing a handsome young man in fine robes.

And they were heading straight for Gu Yun.

'Very good!'

'Run to me!'

Gu Yun sneered.

He knew exactly what the young man in fine robes was thinking.

But of all the mistakes to make, running toward him was the biggest one!!

'The path to salvation you see... what if it's actually the road to the Netherworld?'

"I'm in a bad mood right now!

You people!!

All of you can die!!!"

A torrent of rage had just ignited in Gu Yun's heart,

and it was still boiling over.

These bastards before him

were walking straight into the line of fire!

A cold glint flickered in Gu Yun's eyes.

His True Yuan, as deep as an abyss, erupted violently.

A monstrous torrent of energy blasted into the surrounding void.

Streaks of thunder and lightning suddenly appeared from the void,

and in a flash, Gu Yun was wreathed in boundless thunder. Bolts of lightning tore through the void,

radiating a brilliant light. His freezing-cold, thunderous eyes were like those of a Thunder God!

Gu Yun raised a hand and pressed his five fingers forward.

The sky full of thunder instantly became like a Heavenly Thunder Punishment,

blasting toward everyone ahead with overwhelming force!!

"This... this!!"

"Senior, spare me!!"

Lin Zhuangyuan, at the front, stared at the terrifying lightning that tore through the void. It was like a Heavenly Thunder Punishment descending upon him.

His pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks. The thunder streaking across the sky was like a monstrous beast, making one tremble in its presence!!

The terrifying worldly aura locked onto him, making escape impossible.

His heart plummeted into an abyss, swallowed by endless darkness.

Fear gushed out like a flood.

But he, Lin Zhuangyuan, couldn't accept this!!

He had just obtained that thing; he couldn't accept dying like this!

"Senior!

This has nothing to do with us!"

The men in black uniforms with white lotuses on their chests watched as the overwhelming lightning tore through layers of space,

surging toward them with extreme power. Their expressions changed drastically!

At the same time, one of them quickly formed a hand seal, attempting to resist and survive.

In an instant, he conjured a scarlet True Essence Light Shield in the void!

"BOOM!!"

But to his surprise,

the immensely powerful thunder shattered it with crushing force,

and then, with unstoppable momentum, tore through the void and blasted him to dust!!

Lin Zhuangyuan at the front also waved his hand.

A flash of light appeared, and a full-moon-shaped Defensive Spiritual Artifact instantly blocked the terrifying thunder.

The surrounding void immediately began to tremble like a boundless tsunami.

But just as Lin Zhuangyuan thought he could block the lightning bolt,

the moon-shaped Defensive Spiritual Artifact was almost instantly blasted with cracks.

Then, like a thunder punishment shattering the sky,

before Lin Zhuangyuan's widened eyes,

it instantly obliterated him!

Standing high in the sky, Gu Yun watched this scene unfold with a cold gaze.

'Just a few pathetic True Martial Fourth and Fifth Layer nobodies. Daring to provoke me... aren't they just courting death?'

A bunch of mongrels!

They fucking deserved to die!!

Fuck!

He took a step forward,

creating layers of ripples like disturbed water.

Then his figure vanished abruptly.

He collected the Storage Rings from the three men in the identical black uniforms with white lotus emblems. Sweeping his Spiritual Sense inside, he found several hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones and some blood-stained, broken Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
