Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1161: Chapter 497: Wuzhuang Temple, West Kunlun, Entering Qin!

Above the void, approaching the Qin Heavenly Palace!

Mist and clouds swirled, a terrifying pressure of heavenly fortune enveloped the world.

In an instant.

Guiguzi stepped onto the void and arrived.

Upon arrival.

The eyes of Guiguzi were like torches, instantly focusing on the figures of Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West.

After a glance.

The corners of Guiguzi’s mouth slightly lifted, revealing a gentle smile, and he clasped his hands in the mighty salute of a Qin martial artist, slowly speaking: ”To the two great immortals, your names have long resounded like thunder in my ears.”

”To see your esteemed visages today is truly the luck of three lifetimes for this humble Daoist.”

”I am the state preceptor of Qin, Guiguzi.”

Upon hearing this.

Zhen Yuanzi’s expression was calm, with a gaze containing a hint of appraisal, observing Guiguzi without disgust, and then he responded warmly, ”So it is the honored state preceptor of Qin Court in attendance, pardon my previous oversight.”

Hearing this, Guiguzi’s eyes revealed a nearly imperceptible surprise and he pursued the question: ”Never did I expect that my meager name could reach the ears of the Immortal Zhen Yuan, truly unexpected.”

Zhen Yuanzi held a horsetail whisk in one hand, and the other was behind his back, speaking tranquilly: ”Qin Court is filled with strong practitioners, with the Crown Prince being the foremost among them, possessing extraordinary and sacred strength.”

”And you, the state preceptor of Qin Court, being at the Daluo Peak Realm, can confront quasi-saint experts without falling behind. This strength is truly admirable.”

”In the Earth Immortal Realm, those with such abilities are few and far between.”

He continued.

Zhen Yuanzi slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze almost tangible, seemingly able to see through all things, continuing: ”I observe that you have already reached the Daluo Peak and can break through constraints at any time to enter a higher realm. Yet, you have not acted, perhaps due to the limitations of the Heavenly Dao Rules?”

Clearly.

Guiguzi does not advance to preserve the ability to act in the world; if he were to break through to become a quasi-saint, it would be difficult to act with full force.

Regarding Zhen Yuanzi seeing through him.

Guiguzi was not surprised by this. As a top-tier great divine ability practitioner in the world, Zhen Yuanzi is renowned, praised as the foremost below the saints and is a peer of saints, even surpassing Hao Tian.

Such a figure having the ability to see through others is quite normal.

”The Immortal Zhen Yuan has eyes like a torch, and this junior holds great admiration.”

Guiguzi respectfully clasped his hands in salute, his body leaning slightly forward, his face showing an expression of gratitude: ”Furthermore, this junior once received your invisible grace, forever remembered in my heart, yet there was no opportunity to repay it.”

”Oh? That’s curious; this is our first meeting. Where does this favor come from?” Zhen Yuanzi slightly furrowed his brow, eyes filled with confusion, turning slightly, waiting for Guiguzi’s explanation.

Guiguzi’s gaze deepened, lost in memory, his voice lowering subconsciously: ”In the past, while cultivating and seeking the Dao in the Nan Zhanbu Continent, dedicated to orthodox immortal cultivation, I refused to align with evil cultivators.”

”However, evil cultivators coveted my flesh and pure spiritual charm, seeing me as blood food, repeatedly hunting me down, leaving me with nowhere to escape.”

Guiguzi paused slightly, took a deep breath to quell his emotions: ”Fortunately, I fled into the territory of the Wuzhuang Temple, only surviving under the Immortal’s protection.”

”Because of this, I am who I am today.”

Reflecting on the past, Guiguzi felt mixed emotions.

At that time, orthodox immortal cultivation on the Nan Zhanbu Continent, and even the whole world, faced immense challenges.

Evil cultivators were brutally bloodthirsty, using any means to enhance cultivation, madly plundering the resources of orthodox immortal cultivators.

Of course.

Orthodox immortal cultivators were also cultivation resources for evil cultivators.

Guiguzi, repeatedly hunted down to desperation, barely escaped death thanks to the protection of the Wuzhuang Temple.

Within the territory of the Wuzhuang Temple, evil cultivators could not survive.

During the final escape, he inadvertently fell into a space passage, by chance arriving in the Mortal World, thus seizing the opportunity of today.

He became the state preceptor of Qin, enjoying a noble status.

Relying on Qin, he attained the power of the Daluo Peak.

”Haha, by this account, Daoist has quite a deep affinity with our Wuzhuang Temple.”

Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily.

”The grace of Wuzhuang Temple.”

”This junior will never forget.”

Guiguzi said earnestly, the gratitude on his face undisguised.

”No need to dwell on it.”

”In this world, all beings have a thread of vitality.”

”Perhaps for Daoist, Wuzhuang Temple back then was your thread of vitality.”

”This too is fate.” Zhen Yuanzi said with a peaceful smile.

Seeing this.

Guiguzi did not say more, concealing his gratitude in his heart.

”On this occasion, Daoist has come to meet with Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?” Guiguzi returned to his senses, with an appropriate smile.

He slightly turned his body, assuming a listening posture.

Before Zhen Yuanzi, he performed the etiquette of a junior.

”Indeed.” Zhen Yuanzi nodded and smiled, turning his gaze toward the Queen Mother of the West beside him, adding: ”Wuzhuang Temple and West Kunlun are now of one mind, and I’ve come to discuss important matters with the Qin Emperor and the Crown Prince.”

Guiguzi’s heart moved, instantly grasping the implication, immediately saying: ”Then please follow me.”

Such opportunities, Guiguzi knew well, that Zhen Yuanzi and Queen Mother of the West are both top-tier great divine practitioners of the world, arriving jointly likely to represent both forces in cooperating with Qin.

Perhaps even pledging allegiance to Qin.

Such an opportunity, Guiguzi wouldn’t let slip away, thus he prepared to introduce them for an audience.

”In that case, I trouble the state preceptor.”

Zhen Yuanzi slightly bowed, expressing thanks, exemplifying proper etiquette.

With Guiguzi leading the way, many cumbersome matters could naturally be avoided.

Under Guiguzi’s guidance, the group gradually approached the Nine Provinces Barrier.
