Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

80: Chapter 80 Spying on Ning Hongye!Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm.

Taiyi Dao Sect.

Longevity Peak, inside the Immortal Cave, Gu Yan is 340 years old, Body Integration Fifth Layer.

He opened his eyes, his gaze calm.

Just now, he conducted a test.

Using the purple trait 【Floating Life Like a Dream】, he entered a dream once again.

He had a duel with the Cultivator with the highest cultivation he had ever seen, the Tribulation Crossing Peak Ning Hongye.

This time, he did not weaken her strength.

The result surprised him a little.

Relying on the various Divine Abilities brought by the Primordial Chaos Genesis Sutra of the Limitless Great Five Elements, he was actually able to contend with Ning Hongye for a long time, and in the end, even successfully killed her.

Gu Yan recalled that battle and shook his head slightly.

When he used to Cultivate the Great Five Elements Reincarnation True Scripture, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t fought Ning Hongye before.

Back then, even if he suppressed her cultivation to the same realm as his own, he still had to use all his means to win.

But now, if he were to weaken Ning Hongye to Body Integration Fourth Layer, he could instantly kill her.

This is the gap between Divine Abilities and Mystical Arts.

No matter how strong a Mystical Art is, it is still just a Mystical Art.

Divine Abilities, however, are an extension of the Law.

Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts and flipped his hand to take out an object.

haotian mirror.

The mirror surface was like water, reflecting everything in the Immortal Cave.

Gu Yan looked at the mirror surface, his Divine Sense probing in.

It wasn’t that he was peeking at the future again.

The future of a Mortal, without special Opportunity, is mostly unchanging.

Many Cultivators are the same.

Only those with great Divine Abilities like him, who can glimpse a corner of the future and make arrangements through various means, can influence the direction of the future.

Therefore, the futures he could see, he had basically already seen over these years.

After seeing too much, it became boring.

So now, he used the haotian mirror for other things.

For example, watching a live broadcast.

Gu Yan’s thoughts stirred slightly, and within the mirror, images flowed.

A moment later, the image froze.

A figure appeared in the mirror.

Red clothes and black hair, with a cold and clear face.

It was none other than Ning Hongye.

In the image within the haotian mirror, Ning Hongye was standing on a desolate plain.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, the sky was gray and murky, with no sun or moon visible.

Judging from the terrain, it should be somewhere in the Southern Border of the Spirit Realm.

Gu Yan was not too familiar with the terrain of the Spirit Realm, but the Southern Border had many mountains and miasma; these geographical features were too obvious.

In the image, five monks stood opposite Ning Hongye.

Five monks with unfathomable auras.

Gu Yan’s Divine Sense probed into the haotian mirror, and after a slight sensing, he knew what to expect.

Tribulation Crossing Realm Late Stage.

All five of them.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he became interested.

Five Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Realm experts surrounding one Tribulation Crossing Peak expert.

This lineup could be considered a grand scene anywhere in the Spirit Realm.

In the image, Ning Hongye’s expression was calm, showing neither joy nor anger.

In the Void Realm above her head, a huge phantom vaguely appeared.

It was a mysterious black snake.

The snake’s body was as thick as a mountain, its entire body pitch black like ink.

Its snake head hung low, a pair of vertical pupils staring at the five monks in front.

Its forked tongue flickered in and out of its mouth, and every breath brought a gust of foul wind.

That imposing manner seemed to want to swallow everything on earth.

And the five monks opposite Ning Hongye were also dignified at this moment.

The five men each occupied a position, their bodies radiating ten thousand zhang of golden light, dyeing half the sky into a brilliant expanse.

The golden light and the mysterious black intertwined, splitting the sky above the desolate plain into two halves.

Gu Yan watched this scene and nodded slightly.

This scene had great visual impact.

He raised his hand, took a pot of wine from the side, and poured himself a cup slowly.

In the image, the two sides confronted each other for a moment.

One of the old monks with white eyebrows and beard spoke slowly: ”Benefactor Ning, this poor monk will ask one last time, will you hand over that item or not?”

Ning Hongye said indifferently: ”I snatched it with my own ability, why should I give it to you?”

The old monk sighed: ”That item originally belonged to our Buddhist sect and was forcibly taken away by you from the Secret Realm, which is unreasonable.”

”Buddhist item?” Ning Hongye smiled, her smile cold and clear.

”That Secret Realm has existed for I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years; your Buddhist ancestors probably hadn’t even been born yet.”

”What, just because you went in once, everything inside becomes yours?”

Another middle-aged monk said in a deep voice: ”Benefactor Ning, that item is of great use to our Buddhist sect.”

”If you are willing to hand it over, we are willing to exchange it for three treasures of equal value.”

”Not trading.”

”Benefactor...”

”I said not trading, can’t you hear me?” Ning Hongye interrupted him.

”You five bald donkeys chased me for three hundred thousand li, from the Secret Realm entrance to this desolate wilderness, spouting nonsense the whole way. My ears are almost calloused.”

”If you want to fight, then fight; if not, then get lost. Don’t chant scriptures here, I don’t like listening to them.”

The five monks looked at each other and shook their heads.

”Since that is the case, this poor monk and the others have no choice but to offend you.”

As the words fell, the five simultaneously formed hand seals.

In an instant, the golden light grew intense.

Five golden pillars of light shot into the sky, interweaving in the sky to form a huge golden array, completely covering a radius of a hundred li.

The array patterns swirled, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting echoed.

Gu Yan watched this scene and raised his wine cup to take a sip.

Setting up an array right from the start, this was to prevent Ning Hongye from continuing to run away.

It seemed these monks were aware of Ning Hongye’s strength.

In the image, Ning Hongye’s expression remained calm.

She raised her hand and waved it gently.

The mysterious black snake above her head hissed into the sky, its snake body twisting as it slammed violently into the golden array.

Boom.

With a loud noise, heaven and earth trembled.

The golden array shook violently, its patterns flickering on and off.

The five monks’ expressions changed, and they hurriedly increased their spiritual power output, only then did the array stabilize.

And the mysterious black snake, surprisingly, only paused slightly before preparing to strike again.

The five monks pressed their palms together and chanted scriptures.

Every time they chanted a word, a golden Sanskrit character flew out of their mouths and fell into the array.

The golden light within the array grew stronger and stronger, gradually condensing into countless golden light swords, shooting towards Ning Hongye.

Ning Hongye stood in place, black Qi surging around her body.

Those golden light swords shot into the black Qi, like clay oxen into the sea, with no sound remaining.

She raised her hand, her five fingers gripping the void.

The mysterious black snake above her head suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a jet-black beam of light, crashing straight into a certain part of the array.

That place was precisely the weak point of the array.

The five monks’ expressions changed again.

This woman, how did she see the location of the array eye at a glance?

The old monk said in a deep voice: ”This woman cannot be underestimated, attack with full force!”

The five shouted in unison, and the golden light surged.

Within the array, a huge golden Buddha statue gradually appeared.

The Buddha statue sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, dignified, one hand forming a seal, the other holding a demon-subduing pestle.

The demon-subduing pestle fell, smashing towards Ning Hongye.

Ning Hongye raised her eyes, looking at the demon-subduing pestle smashing down like a mountain, her expression unchanged.

She raised her hand again, and the mysterious black snake above her head rushed out, colliding with the demon-subduing pestle.

Another loud noise, the Void Realm shook.

The demon-subduing pestle shattered inch by inch, turning into golden light that dissipated in the sky.

And the mysterious black snake also paused slightly, with several cracks appearing on its snake body.

Ning Hongye’s eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand to recall the big snake.

The snake body turned, and it actually lunged directly at one of the monks.

That monk was shocked and hurriedly offered his Magical Artifact to resist.

But the snake’s speed was too fast, and it reached him in an instant.

The snake’s mouth opened, and it bit down.

The golden light around that monk surged, barely blocking this attack, but the whole person was knocked flying backward, spitting blood from his mouth.

The array shook violently.

Ning Hongye did not give him a chance to catch his breath, her figure flashed, and she was already in front of that monk.

A palm fell.

The monk raised his hand to resist, but was shattered of his golden light by one palm, falling to the ground instantly.

The remaining four monks’ expressions changed drastically.

”This woman’s ferocity is too great, cannot be opposed by force!”

”Retreat!”

Before the words fell, the four simultaneously withdrew their hands, turning into four streaks of golden light, fleeing in four directions.

Ning Hongye stood in the Void Realm, watching the four fleeing golden lights, and did not pursue.

She just raised her hand and gripped it gently.

The golden Buddha statue suddenly exploded, turning into countless golden streaks of light, shooting in all directions.

Each streak of light accurately caught up with a fleeing bald donkey.

Four screams sounded almost simultaneously.

Four golden lights fell at the same time.

The battle ended.

In front of the haotian mirror, Gu Yan watched this scene and nodded slightly.

The result was not unexpected to him.

In the image, Ning Hongye landed back on the ground, walked to the place where the five monks fell, and searched for a while.

A moment later, she found a Jade Slip from one of the corpses and casually tucked it into her bosom.

Then she looked up, her gaze scanning the surroundings cautiously.

It seemed she vaguely sensed someone peeking in the dark.

Gu Yan was slightly startled.

This woman, her senses are quite sharp.

But he didn’t care.

The haotian mirror’s peeking, even if the other party’s cultivation is far higher than his, it is impossible for them to detect his existence.

Ning Hongye is Tribulation Crossing Peak, but Gu Yan has the 《Form of No-Self and No-Form · Red》 and 《Traceless Dao Concealment - Gold》 traits to conceal the heavenly secrets.

Let alone looking at her for a glance, even if she stared at him for a whole day, she wouldn’t discover anything.

In the image, Ning Hongye withdrew her gaze, her figure flashed, and she disappeared into the horizon.
